The Crush Of Love
Goes to jogja
A week before I started working at my parents' place, Dad secretly prepared a surprise vacation for me. It turns out that the place we are going to is the special area of Yogyakarta.
“Darling, are you ready? Now we go to”, my father said to me
“Iya dad, already. Just wait outside, I'll be down to the bottom of”
“OK, sprawl yes. This is your mom who is impatient she”
My family can be said to be a harmonious family and full of laughter every day. Even though they are aging, they are still sweet and pleasant. Loving each other, caring for each other even if it is a small thing.
It often comes to my mind, I want to have a husband who is warm, sweet, and engrossed like a father. A father is someone who is full of warmth and is able to melt the atmosphere. It feels lonely if there is no father at home, even if only for a day.

Along the way, Mama played some old songs. Like the collection of songs Nike Ardila, Poppy Mercury, Tommy J Pisa and many more. I don't forget my mom sang sometimes. Indeed, I need to admit that the voice of the mother is quite melodious, able to make anyone who heard it will be washed away with her.
While I only focus on my salary to watch some of my favorite drakor while eating some snacks.

The journey from Bandung to the special blood of Yogyakarta is quite time consuming. About twelve hours we got there, because there were so many distractions on the way.
After arriving, we checked in at one of the best hotels in Yogyakarta. Service is good and friendly. The facilities are quite satisfactory. We're going to stay here for two nights.

The next morning my father, mother and I planned to visit the Yogyakarta Palace.
Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat or Yogyakarta Palace is the official palace of the Sultanate of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, located in the city of Yogyakarta.
Yogyakarta Palace consists of three parts consisting of the front complex of the palace, the core complex of the palace and the back complex of the palace. The Dean Kraton complex consists of the Gladhjak Panguragan (main gate), the** square and the Gedhe mosque.
In the Yogyakarta Palace area there are four museums that store various historical collections. It consists of painting museum, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX museum, train museum and batik museum.
One of the privileges of the Yogyakarta Palace is to have a variety of cultural heritage, both in the form of ceremonies and ancient and historic objects. On the other hand the Yogyakarta Palace is also a customary institution complete with its customary stakeholders.
Yogyakarta Palace also has a characteristic with its buildings that are traditional Javanese architectural style and in certain parts look touch from foreign cultures such as Portuguese, Dutch and even Chinese. The buildings in each complex are usually joglo-shaped.
The current King of the Keraton is Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X (1989-present). He is the son of Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX and his second wife RA Siti Kustina.
When we were down every inch of the Keraton, do not forget I also asked to take pictures with some courtiers Keraton for mementos.
Time is getting late, and worms in the stomach began to call to be fed immediately.
“Ma, we're out for dinner yuk. I've laper nih”
“Yuk babe”
We went out to find food. Until in the end my eyes were fixed on one of angkringan selling gudeg.
“Ma, we'll go there. I want to eat gudeg”
“Siap do mr. putri” said father
The two of them grabbed my hand and immediately approached the angkringan. My mom ordered food for us to eat right now.
Honestly, if I really like the name gudeg. What else there is an interesting thing about gudeg, such as; gudeg fiber content is widely found in jackfruit, bamboo shoots, or manggar, efficacious binding toxins and enlarge the volume of feces..Gudeg also strengthens bones because it is rich in calcium and phosphorus to add energy.

Today, my mother and father can only visit the palace of Yogyakarta and shop to Malioboro only. Maybe tomorrow we will continue to visit somewhere else.
The sky started to look dark, and we immediately went back to the hotel to rest. On the way back, I played my phone. I saw some photos of the shots earlier. And it turned out that my photo with the inner man was pretty good, and I immediately posted it on my social media account.
Suddenly my phone vibrated, I saw on the glass screen of my phone there was a message from Randika.
[Ciee who is on vacation, don't forget his souvenirs] message while leaving out the emoticon packman
[Okay ready, I'll give you]
[Original yaa... I'm waiting for the delivery of Jogja bakpia and his malioboros t-shirt]
[Please]
[Oh yes, now what is it? Watch out later his heart fell like a Jogja. Don't stay there for long]
[Again on the road, go back to the hotel, take a nice nice little bobo break. Hmm what the hell, tomorrow also go home]
[Oh so, ntar if you have returned home]
[I can't wait to take it by] he continued
[Yeah be patient, besides I'm still here not yet home]
[Oiya, yes first. It's here, I'm gonna take a break] my contact
[Okay, good night, sweet dreams, my dear friend] the message with inserted emoticons kiss
I immediately entered the hotel, I pressed the elevator button in front of me. My room is upstairs, unlike my parents' room on the first floor. Arriving upstairs, I immediately entered my room. I immediately threw my body on the soft bed.
It was so comfortable to sleep in silence. It feels more peaceful and peaceful. Before going to bed I rushed to take a shower, because here I felt easily sultry, different from when I was in Bandung.
When done, continue to wear some skincare and bodycare, because it is my routine so that my body is maintained.

The sun began to show its light. I began to hurry to clean up all my belongings, and put them in the trunk of the car. Because the plan after visiting the place we will go now, after that we will return home.
After everything was over, my mom and dad headed to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.
The morning show is over. And we will visit the next place, namely Borobudur Temple.
Borobudur Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java. This temple is located approximately 100 KM to the southwest of Semarang, 86 KM to the west of Surakarta and 40 KM to the northwest of Yogyakarta.
Through the route of small cities starting with Jombor, mlati, Muntilan terminal and ending at Borobudur Temple terminal. From the terminal to the location is not far away, just by foot. The ticket price for adult-age domestic tourists is around fifty thousand rupiah while for children it is around twenty-five thousand rupiah only.
It is very beautiful, but there are so many temples that I saw in a broken state. Because of a natural disaster or something. But it turns out there are also people who tried to steal some temple faults, but that did not happen because they were arrested.
Some of the photos I took to save as memories. There are some pictures of my mom with my dad, and others.
A beautiful and clean place makes anyone feel at home and comfortable to make.
