Meeting My Idol

Afgan has always been my favorite singer. I had always been

thinking of how I would feel when I met him. Then I was suddenly hit
by lightning when I found out Afgan was coming to town for a
concert in a local auditorium. A day before the concert, there would
be a meet and-greet event at a local radio station. Feeling excited, I
packed all my Afgan’s CDs to get his signature at the event.
On that bright and sunny Saturday morning, the radio station
was full of Afganism (that’s how Afgan’s fans are called). They sat on
the chairs prepared inside the radio station’s lobby. Some stood in
rows in the front yard of the radio station. A spot inside a lobby was prepared with a mini
stage for Afgan’s singing performance and a table for Afgan to sign Afganism’s memorabilia.
Finally, after about 40 or 50 minutes wait, Afgan showed up from inside the radio station. He
smiled and waved to all Afganism who had been waiting excitedly saying, “Good morning.
How are you all?” The crowd went crazy. The shouts sounded like a mix of “Fine, thank
you” and screams of Afgan’s name.
Afganism went even crazier; they sang along with him throughout the song. Of
course, I did too. I couldn’t take my eyes off this amazing singer who had released three
albums. When he was finished with the song, the host announced that it was time for
autographing the memorabilia. I prepared my CDs and began to stand in the line. When I
arrived at the table, I was speechless. It was unreal just seeing him that close. I thought it was
really cool seeing him like that because he really just felt like a normal person, which was
awesome. He asked my name so that he could write it on the CD to say “To Mia, Love
Afgan”. He was also very friendly, so I didn’t feel too nervous when I had a chance to take
pictures with him. He was just an amazing person. That was one of the best in my personal
life history.

Terjemahan
Afgan selalu menjadi penyanyi favorit saya. Aku
selalu membayangkan bagaimana perasaanku
saat bertemu dengannya. Kemudian saya tiba-
tiba kaget ketika saya mengetahui Afgan datang
ke kota untuk konser di auditorium lokal. Sehari
sebelum konser, ada acara temu sapa di stasiun
radio lokal. Sangat bersemangat, saya mengemas
semua CD Afgan untuk mendapatkan tanda
tangannya di acara tersebut.
Pada Sabtu pagi yang cerah dan terang itu,
stasiun radio penuh dengan Afganisme
(begitulah sebutan penggemar Afgan). Mereka
duduk di kursi yang disiapkan di dalam lobi
stasiun radio. Beberapa berdiri dalam barisan di
halaman depan stasiun radio. Sebuah tempat di
dalam lobi disiapkan dengan panggung mini
untuk penampilan menyanyi Afgan dan meja
untuk Afgan untuk menandatangani
memorabilia Afganisme. Akhirnya, setelah
menunggu sekitar 40 atau 50 menit, Afgan
muncul dari dalam stasiun radio. Dia tersenyum
dan melambai kepada semua Afganisme yang
telah menunggu dengan penuh semangat sambil
berkata, “Selamat pagi. Bagaimana kabarmu
semua?” Kerumunan fans menggila. Teriakan

kalimat 2 dan 3)
itu terdengar seperti campuran “Baik, terima
kasih” dan teriakan nama Afgan. Kemudian, ia
mengawali acara dengan menyanyikan lagu
hitsnya “Dia dia dia”.
Afganisme menjadi lebih gila lagi; mereka
bernyanyi bersamanya sepanjang lagu. Tentu
saja, saya juga melakukannya. Saya tidak bisa
mengalihkan pandangan dari penyanyi luar biasa
ini yang telah merilis tiga album. Ketika dia
selesai dengan lagunya, pembawa acara
mengumumkan bahwa sudah waktunya untuk
menandatangani memorabilia. Saya menyiapkan
CD saya dan mulai mengantre. Ketika saya tiba
di meja, saya terdiam. Itu tidak nyata hanya
melihatnya sedekat itu. Saya pikir itu sangat
keren melihatnya seperti itu karena dia benar-
benar merasa seperti orang normal, yang luar
biasa. Dia menanyakan nama saya sehingga dia
bisa menulisnya di CD untuk mengatakan
“Untuk Mia, Cinta Afgan”. Dia juga sangat
ramah, jadi saya tidak merasa terlalu gugup
ketika saya memiliki kesempatan untuk berfoto
dengannya. Dia orang yang luar biasa. Itu
adalah salah satu hari terbaik dalam sejarah
kehidupan pribadi saya.
