UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY

Unforgettable Journey

My brother and I started our journey on Monday morning. We started from home at about 5 am. We went to Malang bus station. Luckily the bus to Malang was still waiting for passengers. It was not full yet. Then we got in and chose the most comfortable seat. My brother agreed with me to sit in the middle.
After about half an hour waiting, the bus was full of passengers. The driver started the engine and we left the bus station. After two hours the bus reached Pandaan, it stopped at Pandaan station for quite a long time. We had our breakfast here. Not long after that the bus was ready to continue the journey. Oh, we were sleepy then. We both fell asleep. We slept soundly, too. We sometimes woke up when we reached a bus station. The last city that we remembered was Purwosari. From here we slept again. Our trip was really a nice one. Why? Because we just slept and slept. We did not realize that we had already reached Arjosari station. We didn't know exactly how many hours we traveled from Osowilangun to Malang. The conductor then woke us up. Then we woke up, and I looked at my watch. It was twelve o'clock.
