When the news appeared about the death of a famous rally driver Colin McRae, I thought it has nothing to do with me. Later on at the video of another related news, something made me recall that Colin McRae was from the Subaru team with triple five cigarette as the main sponsor. In 1995 when he won the World Rally Championship, he was driving the 555 Subaru Impreza car. So is death was like related with my previous letter of "035 072 8 6 0 1". Yesterday when I browsed the internet to find the related photos of him, I also found that his son who died with him in the accident was Johnny McRae. The name Johnny reminds me with my close friend in the junior high school, Johnny Haryanto, who has the fond of rally car sport. His brother A.M. Suseto also often participated in some rally championship in the seventies. The helicopter accident of Colin McRae involving four people died, like related with my name Firman which in Dutch or German the word for "four" is "fir". So the helicopter accident of Colin McRae that caused four people died was like another reminder for me, a call to prepare for my consent to move to the eternity, probably in a car accident 2,5 years after the car accident of Taufik Savalas like mentioned in my letter of "Two and a Half Year Transit to the Eternity".

Tuesday 25 September 2007, Rahma Sarita who used to appear as a news caster at Metro TV, made an unusual appearance as a guest in some kind of religious program talk show. For me it became like a reminder to reveal something important related to my saving account I mentioned in my previous letter of "035 072, Interstate Bridge 35 Collapsed Then Alberto Gonzales Resigned". When I opened a saving account at BCA on 5 June 2001 after my brother gave me some money, a few days later I knew that it was around the time of Rahma Sarita’s marriage. I only knew it later on because I was not invited. A few months later there was the tragic terrorist attack of WTC 11 September 2001, causing more than 3000 deaths . It inevitably caused me to have a guilty feeling as if I was indirectly became the cause of such tragedy. The explanation about this intertwine is rather complicated, and should require a flash back, but I am quite sure it is not too hard for you as a computer genius to comprehend, since it is like some kind of a part of computer game of your Microsoft Xbox.
Back in 1989, when I was accepted to work at the American Express, along with me was a young man whose name was Tony Utomo. He accompanied me since the day of the final interview until the first day of the work, and in most of the working days there. The boss at American Express Indonesia at that moment was Mr. William G. Mould, or he used to tell the employees to just call him "Bill". It was followed by Bill Clinton won the election in 1992 to become one of the successful American Presidents, and Tony Blair won the election in 1997 to become one of the successful British Prime Minister. Some other historical moments also took place after my work at the American Express from April to September 1989. East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that entering West Berlin would be permitted, and it marked the tumbling of the famous Berlin Wall. On December 8, 1991, the presidents of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus signed the Belavezha Accords which declared the Soviet Union dissolved and established the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in its place, marked the end of the Uni Soviet as one of the two superpower countries in the world. Resulting in the United States as the only superpower country in the world. And the tumbling down of other communist countries in the East Europe also took place.
Since then I felt like I have been bestowed by God to become a part of the American history, and informally become an American. Early March 2001, I took a sit in front of Rahma Sarita in the TV pesenters waiting room at Metro TV. I was making a sketch of her after she agreed to allow me make a painting of her. While my hand was busy scratching her head on the paper, all of a sudden a thought came to my mind: "She looks like King Fahd from Saudi Arabia……" A few months later at the end of June I read the news that she had getting married on early June 2001, and it was without her inviting me or even just informing me. It was then I realized that there must be something wrong about my relationship with her. September 2001, the tragic disastrous terrorist attack on WTC building happened. I felt guilty. As if because I shown no sufficient gratitude to God when Rahma Sarita appeared in my life, it resulted a significant breach in the U.S. defense system, causing the tragic terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, the worst terrorist attack ever happened, with more than 3000 died. Now what I can do is to prevent any similar mistake that can cause other disasters to occur.
