It all started with the application called
WhatsApp. Poppy, Dessy, Pajay, and me have it on our phones. So we created a group called "katanya suruh konfrens" (which in English means "you said you wanted a conference") for us to chat with each other in a group, while we all were away for the holidays. Conversations were crazy, especially because the emoticons that WhatsApp have. We all like to use those cute emoticons to express some ideas. Especially Pajay, he really likes to use the emoticons to do magic tricks. Eventually our talks were getting crazier and fun! One day, Pajay asked us to do a gathering for our weird group. He said it'll be like 4 random people who don't know each other except from the WhatsApp finally meet in real life. I thought it would be a great idea. I mean, come on, it doesn't happen everyday. So we set the time, place, and we actually had a dress code which was "scarfs". We had to wear them to the gathering.
The night has come for us to meet up at our favorite place, Magic Pizza. That whole night was really full of scenarios. We even had to go there separately to avoid looking like we know each other. Even my trip to Magic Pizza was a scenario. On my way there, I was riding one of Bandung's renowned public transportation which is the 'angkot'. I was riding the Stasion-Dago angkot. And unlike any other night it was empty all the way. I like empty angkots, at that time I felt as if I can reflect on my self while speeding through the night and the lights outside the window are glimmering through. But then there's this guy who came in a hurry and breaking the sweet silence. He looked really cute, can't deny it. Though it was really dark, I can't tell, but let's just say he was cute. So I started to plot up this scenario in my head, it was like a romantic love story kind of thing. I don't even know why I did that. Maybe that guy was feeling uncomfortable also by my constant glancing (though I was being really discreet with it). In the end, he got off the angkot before me, and I was left alone again to continue my journey.
When I arrived, I saw Dessy and Poppy already there. I slowly approached them and said "Are you Poppy and Dessy?", as if we just met for the first time. It was SUPER awkward. But we had a laugh about it. The whole night was really fun to do actually. Had really tasty foods, a fun talk, and stuff. And the fact that we did this out of random reasons are like a new experience for me. Meeting up with random people isn't easy nowadays. I mean, people are more individual now. But with this, I can say that I want to meet up with new people and get to know them a lot. Maybe another day we could really have a
real gathering with random people. Because being random is fun.
