The past 3 days were the panic days for me. Yeah, I was planning on delivering the birthday present to my buddy, E. Actually I'd been preparing the present two weeks ago, everything was alright till the day I intended to deliver, which was two days before his birthday. I didn't know why I had the urge to deliver the present two days before, because at first I wanted to deliver it the day before. Then, I went to this more reliable delivery service company located not far from my home. I was quite optimistic that the present would be delivered in one day. All of my optimistic feeling suddenly went away as the staff rejected my package, as they couldn't take the risk of delivering such thing to a far place. I was very confused at that time, thinking of just giving it to his mom, but I refused to give up. I went to the less reliable delivery service company (many people said it) not far from the first delivery service company that I went. Fortunately the staff wanted to receive the package, and I asked her how many days that the package would arrive at Jogja. She said two days and I was like very grateful that I decided to deliver it two days before. She asked me whether I wanted to insurance the present and I said yes. She asked for the invoice and I was so stupid as I packed the invoice along with the present. Then, she opened my beautifully wrapped present with brute force and at that time I was like 'Oh my God, my piece of art!' T_T In the end, she wrapped it again with the ugliest wrap ever. She asked me again whether I wanted to pack the present inside a wooden box and I said yes again, to ensure that it was really safe till the destination. After signing the invoice and paid for the fee, that was the start of my worry till yesterday. Since that time, I kept tracking on the package whether it was delivered or not. Actually it was only manifested on that night. Then on 20th, I checked again in the morning and still it was still manifested. The internet connection was really bad and I couldn't check it again till next several hours, until I asked one of my friends to help me check it. It was already at Jakarta on 12 pm and I felt a lil' relieved. Then, I kept checking again and no new sign till I slept. The next morning, which was the D-day, I checked again and thanked God it was at Jogja already the night before. The last step was delivered it to him. At that morning, I phoned him to say 'Happy Birthday' and kinda made sad tone of not giving any surprises for him. Yesterday was the day that I couldn't do anything only because I thought of this thing. I kept on checking and checking and I also kept on asking his girlfriend whether he had received it or not. Haahh, that needed quite a lot of energy, and my worry of not delivered on time was emerging when the night came. The last check, which was on 9+ pm, the sign that I wanted to see the most appeared! It was delivered and.... it was not him that received it ._. Then, I asked for his girlfriend helped again to ask him who was the receiver. Actually he was the security of his home complex, then I told his girlfriend to tell him to take the package from the security. I thought that was the end of my worry. But you know what, it was not over yet. This morning, I read his girlfriend chat that last night was not the receiver's shift, so he hadn't received the package. So I asked her to tell him to go home early so that he could meet the person. And the very real good news came, her girlfriend chatted me that he had taken the package before he went to his uni and I felt relieved so so so so so much! Then, around 4 pm, he chatted me to say thank you for the present, he even took photos of the steps of opening the package (yeah ric, you have made a good tutorial XD). Praise God that he likes it so much. Hahh, I just told him how anxious I was during the delivery. I just wanna thank God that everything is alright and his girlfriend for being my intel, hahax. I also wanna thank my friend who wanna read all my nags. Once again, happy 21st birthday my buddy! I'm glad that you like the present =)
So this is the package, I joked to him that it was like a bomb package XD
