On Good Friday, 2023, it went… fabulous!!!
I woke up pretty early, because we had to go to church. Well not really like a church, but an auditorium which is used usually for events. Jesus Christ died on the cross that day, and we went there to remember it.
I was pretty sad at the first part of the church, because one of the famous people in Indonesia (Mr Luhut Pandjaitan, who had come and visited) didn’t join the rest of us in the auditorium.
The church lasted until half-past ten. I stayed there to practise vocal singing and dances for Easter Sunday. I waited there with a few of my friends, and then we waited for LOTS more children. As soon as all of the children (more than twenty actually) got to the auditorium, both preachers (who were teaching us) got to their feet and started organizing positions. Afterwards, we got into our positions and started dancing.
They sometimes changed the positions (even the moves of the dance) which made a few of us pretty puzzled, confused and stressed. Apart from that, all was fine, and I was quite happy too.
Finally, everything was done, and all moves, positions were chosen and moves were glued to time.
I went home to have a quick lunch, and then go back to the auditorium to remember Jesus died on the cross, at that very time. We sang songs and heard a sermon of Jesus going up to Golgotha (Calvary) hill. My eyes were squinting in the direction of Mr Luhut Pandjaitan who was sitting at the other side on the first row. After all was done, I shook hands with a few people (some important) and said “have a blessed Good Friday”.
Eventually, I got to take a picture with THE ONE AND ONLY Mr Luhut Pandjaitan. First, we took one with my parents, then with me and him alone. He asked how much I scored on my math test. I replied, around ninety. He said that I should get more than my dad. This made me flush so hard. He suggested to take another photo, before I went.
As I looked at the photos, it remembered me of the time I met him two years ago (yes, I have met him before…). At that time he asked me what my favourite subject was… and HE CALLED ME CUTE! Well, that was because I didn’t have many pimples at that time, but now…
I really enjoyed Good Friday, and I mostly enjoyed Easter Sunday today! See you Mr Pandjaitan (fans like me call him “Ompung Luhut”). Nice meeting you for four days!
