yap, today i will post about one of my story. it's about my journey to Padang. ok, lets start the story..

There was Friday night on 2008. me and my family went to Padang at 10 o'clock. first, we went to Merak harbor to cross the Sundas strait. we arrived in Sumatra island around 7 o'clock in the morning. then, we continue our journey to Padang after have a break for a while in some gas station. we continued our journey for about a day. and the sky was getting dark. then, we entered to a lonely street. there are no one in that street. in the left and right were only some trees. me and my family were getting hungry, but no any restaurant there. until we saw a little hut. then, we decided to stop in that hut, because we were very very need to eat. in the next minute, someone out from that hut. she was an old woman with a white hair. then, she offer we to enter the hut and have a dinner.

so, me and my family entered the hut. it's only a blank building with no room there. the building was very very ordinary. the old woman offer me some food and a glass of water. then, i started to ate that food. the few minute later, i felt something wrong. yeah.. something not true here, but i don't know what was that. now, my stomach was full. for the first, the woman did'nt want to receive the money, but finally she receive the money. then, we continued the journey. for the last, i saw again to that hut. the woman just smile at our car with her dog, and night make the woman disappeared from my sight.

finally, we arrived in Padang. the wonderful place. Padang is my village. i stayed in a traditional house of Padang in Kotogadang. the traditional house it called 'Rumah Gadang'. yap, as that name, Padang traditional house is very very big. it's can full by 20 or more people there. from Kotogadang, me and my family went to Padang city. there, we were stayed in my aunt house. in Padang, me and my aunt went to some famous place in Padang. it's name Malin Kundang Stone. Malin Kundang Stone is a stone that looked like a human did kowtowed. Malin Kundang is one of traditional story from Padang. it's about a boy that rebellious to his mother. so, his mother swore him to be a stone. when i was a child, i believe if i naughty to my mother, i will be a stone. so, i never naughty to my parents but only be rebellious to her. :D

it' about one week in Padang. me and my family must go back to Jakarta. we back to Jakarta with car. in the journey, my mother remember to forget pay the mineral water in that old woman in a hut. so, my family decided to bay way of same way when we go. when we through the road, there were no hut/ so, my father stopped the car and looking around for the old woman. in the next minute later, there was a man pass by the street with an old bicycle. then, my father asked him about the hut. and the man answer with a weird stare, then he said

"the hut? with a woman with a dog?.... oh! the woman had go passed away about one year ago, and the hut was crushed about 2 months ago.."
