However, I still see the green hills stretching around the city of Taron, so I put my face closer to the car window and opened the window.
Wow …
Cold air instantly seeped into my whole body.
I immediately woke up still lazy. I leaned my body into the car seat still holding my hands. Sitting cross-legged my eyes still narrowed and.
Wow ....
I opened my eyes wide in amazement as we passed the river that flows on the right, the water was so clear it overflowed and burst into tiny splashes on the rocks. The sound of the wind and the roar of the water sounded melodious. I was like in a fairy tale, I glanced at my father, he just smiled, still focused on driving. My father smiled many times seeing my behavior and my mother could only smile sitting quietly next to my father.
Even though it is covered in fog, the view of this city still looks beautiful. I never thought it would be like this. When my father told me about a town on a remote hill, I thought it must be boring.
Hmmmmm ... really I never thought, there is an area as cool as this.
Dad's car was still speeding, the road we were on needed a little concentration because along the road a few meters there was a ravine on either side of the road, I held my breath. And indeed you have to be extra careful if you take the wrong path, maybe I can't imagine.
My father is a reliable driver, even though he is an amateur car racer, his hobby of driving makes me not have to worry and I always believe in my father's abilities.
My stomach started to feel nauseous, the winding road and the screeching sound of cars and slippery roads made my body shake many times. I didn't see a single vehicle passing through this street, only our car.
Dad played with the headlights and repeatedly honked the car horn, thick fog clouded our vision of the road, Dad finally slowed down. Several kilometers we had to play on tracks with winding roads. And until finally back as before the lowlands down the hills. I began to imagine that our destination city was behind a hill that stood straight ahead as if welcoming us.
What country is this?
Above the sky a tinge of clouds gathered together to cover the city. The white clouds clumped together to form flocks like wool and then changed. If you look closely, they formed waves similar to the castle of heaven in fairy tales when I was sitting in a kindergarten school garden or maybe it looks like an angel's house in the sky. I lifted my head, I followed the procession of the clouds above. I smiled watching natural phenomena.
It was like a dream that I was here, white clouds seemed to accompany us, moving wherever our car went and gradually breaking into small, irregular pieces. I took a deep breath, God can always amaze people with His natural creations.
The old "Welcome to Taron City" signboard and the paint color that had peeled off the supporting wood had faded with time. The right struts don't stand up straight as if to show that they want to be replaced.
And on the right and left of the gate there is a forest, maybe this forest is one unit with the forest we passed before we entered. There is a forest of the same shape, the trees are lined up to form pillars like they were formed by someone, not some wild plant grows by itself.
But, could there be someone having fun in an area like this.
Ah .... I hit my head, maybe it was just my mind. Dad slowed down, wow ... There are only a few houses made of wood with a large yard. And even then only one or two buildings.
Where are the people?
Are we really going to live in this city?
Dad's car continued to drive, I didn't see a single human in this place at all. There is an old building like a food shop but uninhabited. On the right, "Police Station," is written on a placard that is perched in front of a supermini building with a white paint color that is starting to change, in front of the yard parked an old Jeep. Nema's father is my friend in Shite.
The car is still moving, my eyes are still analyzing the situation. This time there were many ancient buildings made of wood with simple shapes along the way. Then a hospital, well maybe this is the hospital my father will work in later.
The building is very simple, it looks majestic standing among the other buildings on the right and left. The navy building with the white color collaboration looks like it's still newly built. An ambulance and several other cars were parked in front of the yard. Several people passed by in the hospital grounds. I thought you were going to stop here but you passed by.
"Daddy, is it still a long way to our house?" I asked curiously.
"Yes. It's still a few kilometers from here, Honey." Answer Father.
I sighed and dad smiled at me through the car window. I grimaced at my mother.
At the T-junction, my father turned his car and drove fast, that was the city center of Taron. But why is it so quiet, there's not a single human. The roar of the car sounded loud and loud, along the road the flowers look beautiful with colors but why only the dominant orange color grows along the road, it looks like wildflowers are not maintained.
The smell stings my nose. Then there was a building in the middle of the road, I don't know what building. I tried to read it but it couldn't be seen clearly. Dad was driving the car so fast that I couldn't read the writing clearly.
The sound of a car roaring loudly broke the silence along the road. Not a single car I saw along the way into Taron City. Where are they? Dad turned the steering wheel to the right. The vast fields that stretch along the road, with the weeds that grow wild green, make my eyes feel refreshed. And not far away I saw tea plantations, forming terraces with their mouth-watering leaves.
Aahhh ... I'm starting to like this place. And I can already guess that the people of Taron are mostly working on the plantations. I'm still stunned by the sight of the city of Taron.
'Nema, you must like it.' I cried to myself.
Mom kept watching me every now and then she looked back and smiled at me.
Before long, dad slowed down. The car turns right and then turns left again and turns around and looks like it's going back and forth ... it turns out that the road we were traveling had to make two turns before we could get out of this road and then enter a path. People's houses have been seen even though only a few buildings have extraordinary distances from one house to another. It's completely different from my home environment in Shite.
Father slowed down the car. And soon my father stopped the car right in front of a big house with a wooden building standing majestically. And it turned out that they had gathered here, and some people greeted us. They stood in front of the courtyard as if deliberately waiting for the three of us to arrive.
This is the first time I've been greeted with residents in my new home after we've moved several times. My father turned off the car engine then opened the car door, came out with a beaming face, several residents approached my father and they shook hands. Their faces look very happy to welcome their father's arrival.
I still couldn't believe it, I noticed that every corner of the building in front of me stood proudly even though the building I was going to live in looked old.
This is my new residence?
And all of them, why do they look so weird.
