The Day 6

It’s been almost a week I quarantined myself. Social distancing, or whatever people call that. At first, I was being like those ignorance people, pretending like nothing happened because of this virus. I was like, Ah, the virus still far away, and not much people got affected (at that time) in my city. I was also so brave to going anywhere, chilling out there without worry anything.

But everytime I go home, my mom always welcoming me with anger. Saying Am I can’t take care of myself? Am I not reading any articles? Watching news? And she continue to text me some posts contain prayers every morning, so that I will be safe and protected. She also never tired to reminds to for always wearing mask, bring handsanitizer, social distancing, bring some water, and of course praying.

I was on an internship program, and when I go in the afternoon, I saw very rare things. Either the roads or some places were so quiet. My city was like… dying. And then I realized, this virus is more than serious.

I started to read and watch some news about this virus. Almost everyday I check my social media, not for showing off some fame or glamorous, but looking for how many victims that increased. And suddenly, I was so afraid. I am afraid that my dreams will failed. And it’s true, almost everything that I planned, I prepared so well, far days, canceled.

All schools, colleges, and workplaces, include mine, are lockdowned. I go back to home and even untill this second, I haven’t take myself to anywhere. Everything paced online, and I being so emotional. There are still a lot of my friends are being so ignorance. They don’t understand anything about social distancing, and still in their fun way, chilling, and hanging out. I told them to please, just stay at home, it’s dangerous out there, but yea ofc, they don’t even care. Some of them started thinking, that us, who staying at home, got no courage to going out, are exaggerated. I mean, they think that it’s holiday, but no… I think, it’s the phase of lockdown, slowly. So terrible. I never expected, that this virus will be so dangerous.

Everytime I watch the news, will always there any victims, or maybe decrease… because died. And everytime I see Instastories, there are still a lot of people who ignorance. You know what? You guys are so mean. You still have dreams and families.

Everyone is hiding, seeking for safe places and choose to stay at home, make sure that the whole family is safe, and praying everyday. Well indeed, I, myself, have no rights to push you all to staying at home. But what I know is… we are sisters, brother, we are family. And taking care each other, is what family do. You still have to reach your dreams, and the family still love you. So you should… no, you HAVE TO love yourself and please, just stay at home.
