My strange Day

Synic : Hello...Mr. Taufik

Me : Ya,

Synic : Where we can meet, I have something to discuss, where your office..?

Me : …….maybe you can come to my faculty, after you arrive in science faculty, you can call me again and I will pick up you

Synic : Ok, I will go to your faculty afternoon.

Me : Alright.

That was an extraordinary day. That telephone made me confused and surprised, that was first time stranger call me and I talk in English with him in telephone. She asked me where my office, I just couldn’t say anything for a moment because I didn’t have office, I just answered she could came to my faculty. After I close the telephone, I smiled to myself and wondered what I’ve done, that made a stranger call me.

After that, I went to my faculty and doing my activity. At 4 o’clock she called me again and said that she couldn’t came. I just said “Oh it’s ok, maybe I can come to your office if that necessary?”. So, in the evening I went to Aceh Learning Center, she wait for me there.

When I arrived in Aceh Learning Center, I felt confused again, because there were 2 person sat in front desk. I didn’t recognize her and she didn’t either. I dared myself to talk with them.

Me : Hi, did you call me today ?

Synic : no, I didn’t call you

Me : I’m taufiq, someone called me just this afternoon.

Synic : I called Dr. Taufik….

Me : (smiled)….. I’m taufiq, Dr. Taufik students.

Synic : ……..

I felt ashamedly and said “maybe someone gave wrong phone number, or maybe you asked Mr. taufik phone number without said Dr. Taufik so the person that you asked gave my number.

She said that, she ever met my lecturer and save his phone number, but she didn’t know why she called me. She said “maybe because I’m very busy, so I called wrong person. But it’s usually happen in Taiwan”.

After that conversation, synic invited me to have a drink in the café near to Aceh Learning Center. So, me, synic and her friend Lee have a drink together. We talked together in that café almost one hour. We talk about the internship project, Aceh condition and Taiwan situation. He said that this year 2 students will go to Taiwan to learn more about computer science especially open source software, and the good news is this program is regularly, so every year there will be 2 students will visit Taiwan for internship program.

After that warm conversation, we took photos together. Synic said to me, I’m sorry for today and for the mistake I don’t know why this happen. I said to them “it’s very strange, because you ever met my lecturer and save his phone number and then you call me. But I’m very happy with this mistake because we can know each other and I’m happy to have a warm conversation with you and hope we can meet and talk again without any mistake”.
