This story was happen yesterday, on November 14 2011.
It’s begun when I want to go to campus to attend my class. That morning was not like as weeks before, I have a guest in that’s lovely morning, my friend come to visit me after more than 1 month we haven’t meet each other, because of a thousand reasons from him, his name is Affif.
Actually he came too late from the promises that he makes. He said that he will come on 7 a.m but in fact he had just arrived on 8.30 a.m, while I have classes on 9 a.m. so our meeting was seem like in a hurry.
Yeah, because we haven’t been meet each other for a long time, so I make a tolerant to him for 30 minutes remaining, we seat for a while in my home and talk about everything that we have already missed together, rapidly. hahaha…
9.00 a.m showed in my watch,I have to go to my campus and leave him! Before go to campus, I must pick my friend up from his family home, his name is Rachmat Mustaqim, he stay at his aunty house for a night every time he go to banda aceh, just same like me, to attend the class in Magister Management.
We are registered as a post graduate student in generation LIV. But we have different class indeed.
He has already waiting for me since his last short message sends to me on 8.30 as well; I think he must be more patience waiting for me,
I drove my car fast; I choose the shortest way to get his home. Just for your information, a lot of water sanitation in banda aceh, such as ditch, canal, runnel, drain, and sewer is under construction by a government funded by Australian Development Bank (ADB) or AusAID that concern in Aceh rehabilitation and construction.
So, everything is a mess everywhere, a street become smaller, because the material that dredged from kind of water sanitation is put on the street, and many streets that are blocked by the contractor for safety reason.
I live in Syiah Kuala University for lecturer housing complex, so it’s too short to get my classroom, but I must pick my friend up in city location, it’s about 15 minutes to get there. I took a road from in front of medical faculty (even though it had dawned in my mind, I thought I was wrong take the way). Because I think it was not too crowded around there. But in fact, the street looked so narrow, because the stack of material from canal, drain or sewer, is put on the street and when I was passing through the street, the worker is doing water draining by electricity pump, so they pumped out the water from sewer to the street. I repeat again, because I was in hurry so I drove my car fast! So I didn’t see the water across the street, when my car run over the water, the water is sprayed to the worker and I think they got mad because of that, but I think I have no time to forgive to them, because I have no much time… so I just left it!
Again, in my heart I feel wrong decision…I could not be like that, “as a handsome man”)
I feel uncomfortable as long as I drove, when I exit from Unsyiah corner gate, the road looked so quiet, and not much vehicle that we could find!
But, the problem was…it’s open only one way, while on another side is blocked. The car that should be passing through by one car, now must share with another car that comes from opposite direction.
Dude, actually this water sanitation construction has running almost 1 month ago, since I always back every weekend to banda aceh, I had already saw that this road is under construction. And sometime I notice to my friend not to go through this way, because of its small and quite dirty.
But, why this morning I took a wrong decision??
Yeah, that the wrong decision that I had make!
When I went through this way, I saw from the opposite way come a public transportation that’s called “L300”. So spontaneously I must decrease my speed to the lower speed, without didn’t want to avoid from the “body of street”, because I saw there is stagnant water collected beside the street…so it is impossible for me to run it over.
But, as my feeling, I push the break slowly and carefully. But, what was happen,dude????
“Gedubrakkk…!!!” *sounds from behind my car…
I look back, but nothing I can’t see!!
But, I’m sure it must be something happen behind.
I open the door, and I go backward.
Fiiiuuuuhhhh,,, I saw an old women and her little daughter fallen from their motorcycle…
They look dirty because of the mud from water stagnant beside the street that I try to avoid before.
Actually, it’s purely not my mistake…I thought I had already driven my car based on Standard of Procedure (SOP) driving a car, hehehe…
I tell you the truth, I didn’t push the break suddenly, I realize it, because I saw L300 from a distance, so I had ménage my own when I have to push the break!
But, my mind cannot read by another person. They have another perception, maybe!
So she hit my car from back side.
Tragically, I think!
There were two weakness who saw the accident, they came to us and blame me as the source of incident. The two mans speak in Achiness language, that I don’t really understand what they were talking about. I try to ignore them, because I think it’s not their business, I just have a case to this old lady, and I’m sure that I don’t really guilty about this.
But, as has become a habit to our rule or culture in this country, “who is the bigger, you are the fault”…do you understand my statement?? I don’t either…hahahaha
The point is, I drive a car, she ride motorcycle…so, the mistake is fall to the one who drive a car! Me myself do not know, where does the law come from??!!
One of the man left us, after he knew that there isn’t too much damage to the motorcycle and both of the women, there’s no blood and no injury on their body, just a little bit scuffed.
But, another man is still around us, he keep on talking just like an amateur provocateur, make an intervention to the lady, so that she ask “indemnity” even, the man told me to went to her house, to accomplish this case at her house!
Hushhh…that’s terrible I thought!
I’m not afraid actually, but I think it would be more complicated, and took a long time…while in fact, I have to pick my friend up and attending my class.
So, I decided to finish it in site! I try to negotiate with this old lady and ignoring the man’s talking. You know what…I just get a little high-spanning to see the man talking, and suddenly he gets quiet then.
I give her 50.000 bucks to her hand, first! And told her to finish it all…but, she just keep silent, there not much that she can say, maybe she still shock about this, or get a little bit nervous to see a handsome man like me!hahaha, how could I say like that??yeah…because, when the first time I saw her daughter look at me…and our eyes was looking each other, the little girl shy and smiling like a cat.
The man tried to speak to old lady in Acheness, “do you think it’s enough??”if yes, so the case is closed.
But no replied from her. You know what, I have no more money at that time, I only have that’s bucks!
Lucky me! Suddenly my classmate pass the same way, and saw me!his name is Velly Sofian Hutapea…at least I have a friend to accompany me, to make me strong and tough!
At last, the old lady said that she need more than this, she asked 100.000 bucks.
Okeh, I order to velly to give her 50.000 bucks remains. So, the totally is 10.000 bucks…but, she means the total is 150.000 bucks.
Velly asked my agreement.
I just get surprise, why she ask too much, in fact she has no injure at all, and the motorcycle only have break on its bumper cap, and if I saw the performance of her motorcycle is as old as the lady, how poor the conditions.
But the hero was come. The man who keep on talking just like a provocateur changes just like a hero, he called himself as mediator for peace.
He explain to her, again, in Acheness…that the price is make a sense and acceptable, because she still ok and no pain, moreover the motorcycle only break at bumper cap, that if we buy the new one only 35.000 bucks! So, it has already appropriate.
Yups, we shake a hand each other, means the case is over…the case is closed, forever!
I shake a hand the old lady, the girl and the India’s hero (hahaha, because came at last session)
And, I continue again my car to pick my friend up…while I was driving my car, I just thinking about my destiny, how could it happened to me??
Did I something wrong??
So, my mind turn back to the incident that I did before, when my car running fast through the wet road, and the water is sprayed to the people (labor who work in water sanitation project), maybe the feel angry and annoyed because of my attitude, so they make a pray a worst thing happened to me…
Fuiiiihhh…it just possibility, isn’t it??but, could be right…
So, the value moral lesson from this story is, don’t be so arrogant to people,
If you make a mistake, never forget to excuse for what you’ve already did!
Finish,
