Ding! the ringing of my house bell rings on this sunny morning. "Good morning, Lusia!" Said the postman with great enthusiasm. He is Mr. Niall, an old man who is very well known in the area of ​​my house because he is still diligent in carrying out his duties as a letter carrier. "Hello Mr. Niall, good morning!" I'll just leave it here, Miss Lusia! "Said Mr. Niall." Okay, sir, thank you for the good day, "I replied with a face in disarray, remembering I was still fast asleep when the house bell rang a few minutes ago. Rrrrrr, the sound of motorbikes. Mr. Niall already sounded faint, I rushed to take the envelope, with a shocked and confused face, I paused for a moment, but the envelope was intended for me.

"Dear Lucy, I am Gabriel. I received your letter some time ago, you are looking for a guy right? Hehe, hopefully we will be married. I hope this letter will reach your hands. Signed Gabriel, Milan 01/06/2000"

A short excerpt from the contents of the gray envelope. "Waitttt Whatttt? Gabriel? Milan? Looking for a guy?" I said spontaneously in surprise. Sure enough one month ago I followed the penpal program held at my campus. Because I'm a tourism student, of course I really hope to have friends from foreign countries and visit abroad. Regarding the contents of the letter? hehe I did write it on purpose. It was beyond my expectations that the randomly written letter arrived at my dream destination, Yasss in Milan, Italy.

Three months have passed since I received a letter from Gabriel. Since then we diligently exchange news. Although I have never met in person I feel like it very much. but the longing will end soon we will meet soon. "Yassssshhh he finally came to see me," I said excitedly. "Are you sure that nothing will happen? I mean he is a stranger, but how do we see other people," Nova said nervously. Nova is my best friend. We have been friends since I was in high school, of course he would be very worried about what I would do. Moreover, I will meet people I only know through my messy penpal letter. Right today I will meet with Gabriel. A person I know is only through a piece of paper.

Dingdong !!! the sound of the airport clerk notification in 30 minutes the plane used by Gabriel will land soon. Of course this makes me impatient. Not feel that 30 minutes have passed so fast. From the faint due to the noise of many people passing by could be heard someone calling me. "Lusiaaaaaaa, Hellooooo" with great enthusiasm the young man called out to me. Yappp the young man is the person I've been waiting for. "Hey, Gabriel, right? How's your flight?" I replied with a grin on my face. "Very well, I am very happy to finally meet you hehe" his response to my behavior was already repayed from my first look at it. Of course I was very happy to only exchange news for a few months and in the end he came to see me. "Ayoo to the homestay, you must be tired after a long journey," I said attentively to him. "Hehe, yeah, thank you, I already want to pick up"

his response is warm to me. Not feel the lapse of a few minutes the car we used drove in the noise of the night leaving the airport where we first met. For the first time I felt very comfortable hanging around with people I just met. I hope that this won't pass quickly. maybe if it's a dream I don't want to wake up.

A day has passed since my meeting with him. The beginning of our meeting was not very memorable we did not talk much considering Gabriel who had just traveled for 12 hours between Milan - Chicago. "Are you going to date tonight with the Italian foreigner?", Nova asked with a curious face to me. again my best friend still doubts my relationship with that strange man. "So please. If for example I did not come tonight, I feel so guilty that he came all the way to find me, well yes I ignored it" I replied in a firm and convincing tone to Nova. "Okay, gudluck," Nova's short response with a doubtful face ended our brief debate.

The night mist that was dim and the warm spring air and the bustling activity of the city center took me to meet him at one of the simple cafes in the middle of the city. About an hour after I was waiting for him. We agreed that we would meet at this place to just let go of our longing and get to know one another, considering that all this time we only exchanged news through a piece of paper. "How come it hasn't arrived yet, it's already been an hour late. Is it possible Gabriel forgot, well, if today we are first dating," I muttered to myself with a feeling of annoyance but still intending to wait for him. Instantly the atmosphere of the city began to feel very quiet for me the feeling of my heart pu start suddenly nervous because someone I hoped would not come. "Excuseme Miss, how long will you be here? This place will close soon," said the owner of the cafe, who had been watching my gestures that seemed uneasy. Not feel 3 hours have passed since I came to see him. "Ehhh ... Yes sir, sorry, I'm going home soon" I replied in a tone of annoyance.

turned out tonight to be a dark night for me. He did not come to see me. With a face that is sluggish I rushed home rememberingU the time is getting late and the city streets are increasingly quiet. I do not believe why he did not come if there was another woman he met or he was not interested in me after seeing me in person. Instantly many questions haunt my mind. But with a feeling of disappointment in my heart I want to go home with forget the gloom tonight. It seems like he is still tired and maybe he has time for me the other day I guess I just have to be more patient and wait.
