Sehari Bersama Bapak - Alun Alun Bandung

This post dedicated to my Father

So, I will write it in bahasa

jadi, bapak aku itu.

orangnya sama sekali nggak neko-neko.

like, literally setelah selama ini smartphone jadi kebutuhan manusia,

Bapak baru sekitar akhir tahun kemaren punya WhatsApp.

yes, THAT application yang kayaknya udah jadi kebutuhan semua orang.

Saking nggak neko-nekonya, even lampu merah pun nggak diterabas.

ada mobil mogok pinggir jalan, bapak ikut minggir ikut bantuin dorong

*padahal bapak udah gampang encok*

sejak aku kuliah, bisa dihitung berapa kali aku ketemu bapak

karena technically aku pulang cuma setiap lebaran doang.

somehow suka nanya sih, 

"Bapak kok jarang nyuruh aku pulang?"

katanya, "Biar aja kamu konsentrasi belajar di Bandung."

Pun, Bapak ke Bandung technically juga setahun sekali, itu pun kalo diperluin.

bahkan sepanjang 2015 aku ketemu bapak waktu aku pulang lebaran doang

(ketika dimana temen temen kayak tinggal loncat ketemu orangtuanya)

no, I'm not 'baper'-ing karena aku jarang ketemu bapak.

sebenernya udah super duper biasa banget, karena dari dulu pun bapak juga jarang dirumah

until tiba-tiba bapak nanyain, 

"Fira hari rabu kosong nggak? kalo kosong Bapak mau ke Bandung."

omg. bapak yang sibuk. tapi nanyain kelowongan waktu aku.

you don't need to ask, dad. I will reschedule if I need to.

setelah 5 tahun kuliah di Bandung (Jatinangor sih, tepatnya), 

baru sekarang bapak nggak ada keperluan apa-apa mau nyempetin main ke Bandung.

katanya, "Nggakpapa, lagi kangen aja. pengen ketemu Fira."

it melt my heart, you know.

iya, itu topi bapak. aku udah bilang aku rusuh kan?

until I realise, seumur-umur disini pun, aku nggakpernah keluar, berdua sama bapak.

quality time as father-daughter.

baru kemaren banget.

itu pun waktu di tanya bapak mau kemana, dia cuma pengen ke alun alun.

"Been 35 years since the first time I came here. Everything changed."

saat ketemu pun bapak nggak banyak cerita, mostly aku yang berisik.

kalo kata orang, energi bapak buat ngomong udah abis karena capek ngedengerin aku.

as for me, Bandung is a right place to falling in love

all over again. 

it happened to me, too. 

because father never fails to make his daughter falling in love to him

all over again

Farm House Lembang

with one of my forever-trip-friends-slash-personal-photographer, Tiwi

She and I planning to go to the "it" places

from what we saw on Instagram

seems like everybody went there!

so here we are

you only need to pay 20,000idr each person, and you may get a glass of milk!

it taste, like regular milk IMHO.

but to pay 20,000idr for unlimited pictures, why not?

the places not as big as it seems on the pictures

but every-inch of this places just so cute till I'm gonna die!

there's no such a thing as game or whatsoever, but you can rent Germany traditional clothes here

I just love every details

but if you're planning to go here, I suggest you to come weekdays

or whatever

but NEVER on holiday season

it's the small places all the matters

when it's too crowd, you can't enjoy such a thing

and make sure you wear nice outfit 

so you have a tons of picture to post for the whole year!

oh, and becareful of the weather

there's still a lot of places that you can find for your OOTD

but then, at that time the places was so crowded, I choose to sit and watch them

thanks for reading!
