Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a tractor driver in Tulangan-Utara is like riding a rollercoaster, but without the safety bar. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’, birds chirpin’, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
First off, I hit the road on Jl. Raya Tulangan. Traffic was a mess! Like, come on, people! It’s not a parking lot! I’m sittin’ there, revvin’ my engine, tryin’ to get to the fields. I swear, I saw a guy on a motorbike doin’ a wheelie. Like, dude, this ain’t a stunt show!
Finally, I get to the fields near Jl. Pahlawan. I’m ready to plow, right? But then, bam! My tractor starts makin’ this weird noise. I’m like, “Oh no, not today!” I pop the hood, and it’s like a scene from a horror movie. Smoke everywhere! I’m freakin’ out, thinkin’ I’m gonna have to call my buddy, Rudi. He’s the only mechanic I trust, but he’s always busy fixin’ his own junk.
While I’m tryin’ to fix it, this old lady walks by. She’s got a basket full of veggies, and she’s like, “You need help, son?” I’m like, “Nah, I got this!” But inside, I’m like, “Please, help me!” She just chuckles and says, “You young folks think you know everything.” I mean, she’s not wrong, but c’mon!
After a struggle, I finally get it runnin’. I’m feelin’ like a champ! But then, outta nowhere, it starts rainin’. Like, heavy rain! I’m soaked, tractor’s muddy, and I’m just standin’ there like a drowned rat. But hey, at least the crops are happy, right?
So, I’m plowin’ away, and I see this kid on the side of the road. He’s tryin’ to sell me some snacks. I’m like, “Kid, I’m covered in mud!” But he’s persistent. “C’mon, mister! Best snacks in Tulangan-Utara!” I can’t resist. I buy a pack of those fried bananas. Best decision ever!
Then, I get a call from my boss. He’s like, “Where are you?” I’m like, “Dude, I’m in the field!” He’s all stressed about some delivery. I’m thinkin’, “Man, I’m just tryin’ to survive here!” But I tell him I’ll be there soon.
I finish up, and as I’m headin’ back, I take Jl. Raya Tulangan again. This time, it’s even worse! Traffic’s at a standstill. I’m sittin’ there, and I see a guy in a suit, lookin’ all fancy, tryin’ to cross the street. He’s dodgin’ cars like he’s in a video game. I’m laughin’ so hard, I almost forget my own troubles.
Finally, I get to the delivery spot. My boss is waitin’, lookin’ all serious. I roll up, covered in mud, and he just stares. I’m like, “What? You wanted me to look pretty?” He cracks a smile, and I know I’m good.
By the end of the day, I’m exhausted but happy. Tulangan-Utara, man, it’s wild! From the crazy traffic to the friendly old lady, it’s never a dull moment. I love this place, even when it drives me nuts.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another adventure in the life of a tractor driver. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
