Subject:  A Girl Shouting To The Car At Upward Slope

 

 

 

 

 

On the left is Semeru Street where the road slope downward, it is parallel with Kelud Street, not seen here, with a wide green-grass median like on the right of this photo. The girl was walking on the right sidewalk of this Semeru Street. By the time I was close to her, she shouted to a man on Kelud Street riding a Suzuki APV, approximately like the position of the gray car in this photo, that was waiting for her.

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday 13 July 2008, when I was on my way home from the Internet Shop, something strange appeared. On Semeru Street that was parallel with Kelud Street, the road slope downward. A girl faraway in front of me was walking on the right sidewalk, and all of a sudden she turned back walking toward the opposite direction.

Then by the time I was close to her, she shouted to a man on Kelud Street, whose car, a Suzuki APV, was stopping on the upward slope. She shouted: "Mr. Dede, I don’t want to go along with you……."

Up to that part, nothing was strange so far, because it could have been just a coincidence.

In the afternoon on TV there was there news about a murder case with mutilation victim. People found the mutilated body on Saturday 12 July 2008 at Kebagusan Steet, Pasar Minggu. The word 'Kebagusan' has the meaning of "the good things of someone or something", and also has the meaning of "too good". Later on the victim was identified as Heri Santoso, a salesman who on Friday prior to his found dead was riding his Suzuki APV.

It reminded me with the Suzuki APV which a girl shouted to that Sunday morning. Could there be any connection between those two incidents?

I tried to get the message, if there was any, for me. Maybe the words that girl mentioned was to remind me not to move up in politics, instead to move up in painting art like my old friend Dede who has become a famous painting now. And that was a fair reminder for me because in fact I have no intention to enter politics.

But related to the mutilation body of Heri Santoso who also rode a Suzuki APV, the message could be related with the winning of Dede Yusuf, an artist turned politician, who several months ago won the election to become the vice governor of West Java. Dede Yusuf was paired with Heryawan who becomes the governor. And the winning of Heryawan with Dede Yusuf happened after my old friend Herry Latief joined the mailing list of my ex-senior high school friends since early this year.

Yesterday afternoon, 17 July 2008, there was the news of the development of this mutilation murder case. The police had captured the perpetrator. He is Ferryansyah, a gay who was jealous with Heri Santoso because Heri Santoso would like to approach his gay partner Noval. After the murder, Ferryansyah spent Heri Santoso's money and credit card to buy several things along with his gay partner Noval.

Now it becomes more interesting, the murderer’s name Ferryansyah and his gay partner‘s name Noval seem like similar to the names of two men I often mentioned here, Ferry to whom a girl who was close to me turned to in 1982, and Noval who was announced as becoming the husband of Rahma Sarita in 2001 after I proposed her through my painting.

So what could be the message now, does that mean that I should get married with Rahma Sarita so that I would become a murder victim too because some people think that Rahma Sarita is "kebagusan" or "too good" for me? Well, if it should be the way for me to move up to the eternity, I think I would not reject such opportunity.

On "Ghostbusters" there was a sequence when the ghosts turned into a giant monster of marshmallow man, walking on the street among the buildings and people running panicly to save their lives. Although this movie was produced in 1984, far before WTC 911 of 2001, but that sequence look like the moment of WTC building collapse, when smoke and dust moved between the buildings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

At the same day of Sunday 13 July 2008, a few second after that strange girl shouting to a car, another thing happened. As usual after going through the downward road of Semeru Street, I should turn right through a passage to join the Kelud Street, and turned left through a small bridge. Then because the road ahead was a one-way street, I should turn right to go through the road besides a small river.

By the time I was following a motorcycle to turn right, two other motorcycles were coming from the opposite direction form the one-way road I was avoiding. I thought my position was save enough so I just carry on, but it turned out that one of the motorcycles was going straight ahead toward my position. Only half an inch before the collision, before that motorcycle hit the middle part of my bicycle from my left, I could continue and only told him "sorry". He looked stunned too, he could have thought that the collision was going to happen, yet it was not.

At that moment I felt like a WTC building nearly hit by an airplane but missed. This kind of feeling could have appeared because of several stages of occasions on earlier days.

It began on 1 July 2008, when for the first time I saw the photo of Fira Basuki with a child suffering from eye-cancer, all of a sudden I felt that she looked like Rila, a girl I began to know in 2001. On the day I was arranging Rila’s photo to become a painting, a few hours later WTC 911 happened.

But then I thought it was just a coincidence of my mixed feeling toward Fira and Rila.

On 3 July 2008, at Trans-TV there was the movie "Ghostbusters", the first movie before its other sequels appeared. On that "Ghostbusters" there was a sequence when the ghosts turned into a giant monster of marshmallow man, walking on the street among the buildings and people running panicly to save their lives. Although the movie was produced in 1984, far before WTC 911 of 2001, but that sequence look like the moment of WTC building collapse, when the smoke and dust moved between the buildings like a giant walking among the buildings and people running panicly.

So when Sunday 13 July 2008, I experienced the moment of nearly hit by a motorcycle but missed, it is understandable to make me feel like being a WTC building nearly hit by a plane.

The fact that the collision missed, the motorcycle did not hit my bicycle, make me feel like I was given a second chance, to prevent disasters.

A second chance to develop a better relationship with Rahma Sarita to prevent disasters, although it might end up with my own moving out of this world, but it would be in accordance with my consent. There were two huge disasters that seem like related with my relationship with Rahma Sarita. The WTC 911 with more than 3000 victims in 2001, then she left to England and on early 2004 she appeared again on TV and at the end of 2004 Asian Tsunami with more than 200 thousands victims took place.
