WHEN LOVE HAS JUST BEGUN



But then, as I got to the parking lot, I saw a girl standing next to a motorbike and looking very confused. She was trying to find something and stamped her foot as I came up to her. “ What’s wrong?” I asked . “I can’t find my key!” she said pouting, and she looked at me. I showed her the key I had found. “Ah! That’s mine!” she cried. I gave it to her. “Thank you so much”. She said and smiled happily, her eyes bright. We introduced ourselves and made small talk for a while.

That happened a month ago, but things did not end there. It is hard to say what I felt after I met her. We are so familiar now. However not just that, there is something else that attracts me. We spend our time together sharing ideas and feeling. I find her very attractive but I cannot explain why. Her smile when we meet? How she cries like a child if I call her names and tease her? Her straight hair falling lightly on her shoulders?

Time passed and each day we got closer to each other. We said few words but our eyes said too much. Eyes can express fellings much better than words.

“Dyta, you know I come from outside Java.”I said once when we were going for a walk in Kaliurang.

“Well, I do sort of”. My mother told me that she must be in Java. But we don’t know where. They were separated when they were children because of war.

They heaven’t met since my mother moved to Kalimantan with my father. In addition we don’t know where she is now. War is cruel. “ I paused. “ But however , I have you, Dtya! Youre better than a relative!” My voice trembled as our eyes met, We stopped and sat down on a boulder. We were silent and the wind was blowing briskly. “ I want to go to your hose, Dyta. Will you introduce your parents to me?” I looked at her, hoping for her replay.

“When do you want to come, Jony?” she asked.

“Oh, you will introduce me to your parents, Dtya?she nodded and smiled. 

“Thankyou, Dyta “ I said. She did not refuse when I held her hand. “You can not meet my parents. But their photo is always with me. “I opened my wallet and showed the photo to her. “This is my father standing with my brothers and sisters. And this is my mother. There are  six our family.” I explained.
But suddenly she snatched the photo out of my hand and examined it in obvious at me sharply and asked “What’s your mother’s time name, Jony?”

“Waty Sulastri.” I answered thought I did not know what she was getting at. “ Why do you ask?”

“No, Jony! No! “ She cried suddenly. “It can’t be” I tried to take her arms  but she pushed me away.

“Dyta, whats wrong?” I asked.

“I went to go home, Jony! Lets go to my house!” she was almost crying.

“Keep calm, Dyta Tell me why!”

She looked at me but only said again”Let’s go to my house, Johny. You will see why.” Still not knowing the reason for all this, I drove her home on my motorbike. On the way home, we didn’t speak but my mind was full of questions.

Immmediately upon aarival she ran into the house. “Mother, mother!” she called loud. I was quite confused by all this. A moment later, she came out with a middle-aged woman. I got quite surprise . I could not belive what I saw. The woman was extra ordinary similar to my mother. We looked at each other but said nothing. Tears began to rol down the womans face. She suddenly embraced me. “Jony, I am your aunt!” she said. “Waty Sulastri is my sister. Oh 
God, thank you! I can met my sister at last. I then realized I had unexpectedly met my aunt.

“Jony!” Dyta called me. I turned to her and my eyes met her terful ones. But now things were different. Oh Dyta! My dreams ended here. My love had just begun it had ended at the same time.

Mega’s broken promises leakedopponents


It appears that presidential hopeful Prabowo Subianto has all the reason to resent the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P)’s surprise decision to nominate the wildly popular Joko “Jokowi’Widodo as its presidential candidate.

A document outlining the political  commitment of PDI-P chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri to support the presidential nomination of Prabowo-Gerindra Party chief patron – in the 2014 presidential election was leaked to the public only a day after the PDI-P announced the Jakarta governors’s nomination on Friday, providing PDI-P’s political opponents with a reason to question the integrity of the party and its leader.

The document, a copy of which obtained by The Jakarta Post, containts seven articles and was signed by Megawati and Prabowo on May 16, 2009, the day they registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) as presidential and vice presidential candidates for the 2009 presidential election.

Two articles, for example, stipulate that should Megawati and Prabowo win the 2009 election, the latter will be assigned to handle the country’s economic policies and granted a right to handpick related ministers, including agriculture minister, finance minister and energy and mineral resource minister.

The last article, considered the moost crucial point, mentions Megawati will “support the nomination of Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate in the 2014 presidential election”, Prabowo is considered the most popular presidential candidate if Jokowi is taken out of the equation, according to various political surveys. 

PDI-P deputy secretary-general Hasto Kristianto said he had learned about the leaked document but refused to comment on its authenticity. He, however, did not deny all the agreements outlined in the document.

“Such political agreements should be seen in the whole context, meaning all clauses in the document can only be implemented should the (Megawati-Prabowo) pair win the 2009 presidential election,”he said.

Law No. 42/2008 on the presidential election cities only a political party or a coalition that gamers 20 percent of legislative seats or 25 percent of the popular vote in the legislative election is eligible to contest the presidential election.

In the 2009 election, the PDI-P only won 14.45 precent of the vote and desperately needed support from smaller parties, including Gerindra to pave the way for Megawati’s presidential nomination.

Pror to Jokowi’s official nomination, Gerindra polyicans repeatedly mentioned Megawati and Prabowo’s political agreement prior to the 2009 presidentsial election, known as the Batu Tulis pact, in hopes of winning the PDI-P’s support for a Prabowo nomination in this year’s presidential election.

Asked whether the document was intentionally leaked to attack Megawati;s integrity, Hasto said his party was ready to respond any political attack following its decision to nominate Jokowi.
Separately, Gerindra secretary-general Ahmad Muzani said he was sure the documents was authentic but refused to comment on the allegation it was leaked intentionally.

Political analyst Yunarto Wijaya said the leak would not harm Jokowi’s presidential aspirations. “The agreement was made between two party elites. Jokowi has nothing to do with it. Even if the document is authentic, it might only change the public’s perception of Megawati, not Jokowi, “he said.

Yunarto also said that the PDI-P’s political opponents should have highlighted other issues, such as Jokowi’s decision to cut short his duty as have highlighted other issues, suchs as Jokowi’s decision to cut short his duty as Jakarta governor, to challenge his presidential nomination in a”elegant manner”
