She met Valentino Rossi at last...
But it was not that easy...
The invitation was for 9 AM, so we started early from home...
We prepared EVRYTHING the day before...
Two books and three photographs were ready to be signed, a new gold-marker pen had been bought especially for the occasion, and also a birthday present for Rossi's upcoming 16 Feb birthday...
With all things stuffed in a bag, we waited Rossi in Istora Senayan for about 5 hours...
5 HOURS of waiting, only to see his 15 MINUTES appearance on stage...
But my wife who was lucky enough to win the contest, had the privilege to meet Rossi in the VIP Room...The rundown schedule for Rossi was so tight that any activity beside taking pictures by Yamaha's photographer was all canceled...
So entered my wife to the VIP Room running...
A brief instruction was shouted out by the Event Organizer people...
NO CAMERA...!!
NO SIGNING ANYTHING...!!
NO TALKING WITH ROSSI...!!
NO SHAKING HAND AND DON'T EVEN TOUCH HIM...!!
LEAVE YOUR BAGS HERE...!!
There's no time to even think about complaining anything...
Everything was in a hurry...
But my wife was the lucky one...
She was seated down right in the middle, in the right side of Rossi when the photograph was taken...
She's all astonishment and beyond happy feelings, and constantly looking up at the face of THE LEGEND standing beside her...
Until somebody shouted out...
"Mbak-Mbak, fotonya lihat kesini...!!"
[Girls, see the camera, please...!!]

All the above story happened to my wife...
As for me, for all that time I was standing outside the building...
Feeling the rain, the sunshine, rain again, sunny again, over and over...
Accompanied by hundreds of people who's hoping to see Rossi in the outdoor stage, which never happened actually...
And in all that time, what's in my head was a wish for her to experience what she had only dreamed about before...
Come rain or come shine, the dullness of waiting was finally paid off...
It was a great day for ME...
She met Valentino Rossi at last...
And it WAS that easy...
Just by seeing her smile and a glow inside her eyes...
Sincerely,
From Papah to Mamah
