Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you're all well. I've lived in Jakarta for several years. Two years ago, my mother passed away. I'm a little homesick. In Jakarta, I live alone. I really miss when my family was complete. There was my mother and father, and there were me and my two younger siblings. I miss those times.
In the morning, I miss my mother waking me up for school or college. What do I miss? Just one thing. First, when my mother wakes me up to shower or pray. Second, I miss my mother cooking. The kitchen that's always lit and buzzing every morning.

Third, the smell of food my mother cooks. Honestly, in Jakarta, it's hard to find food like my mother's. My favorite dishes are actually very simple: stir-fried water spinach, fried tofu, and fried omelettes. I really miss those foods. To this day, I can't cook my favorite dishes.
What else do I miss? Of course, I miss my mother and father. They can't come back. I miss home and my school days. And my favorite food, cooked for breakfast or dinner. I miss home and everything in it. Do you feel the same?

Jakarta is very different from Bandung. From morning to night, Jakarta is always bustling with people, moving at a fast pace. In Bandung, no one is in a rush. Everyone is very friendly. Sometimes, fellow motorcyclists can have casual conversations in the traffic jams. There are no horns on the road.
I miss Bandung, my home, and everything in it. I feel like I can never go back to that phase. That's all I can tell you. What do you think? Are you experiencing the same things as me? That's all I can tell you. See you again.
