RUNAWAY TAXI DRIVER




It was an exhausted early morning, when I have spent the night to take care of my wife. It seemed to be her time to deliver the baby. I was rushing out with my bike to catch a taxi for her. I stopped one in a crossroad nearby. The taxi followed me home to take my wife who was in great pain. The taxi run fast across the road to the hospital and I followed it behind. Not long after that, we arrived at the hospital and took care of the administration for a couple of minutes and moved to "IGD" to find my wife there, still in pain, but I couldn't find the taxi driver to pay for the fare. Where was he? Well, I was stunned to see the taxi driving away aut of the hospital. How come? I run after it, trying to shout out loud to stop it. The taxi slowed down before me, then the glass of the from door opened, and what I saw was only the right hand of the driver come out through the window glass with the thumb up, then the taxi moved fast again, left me there stood still trying to figure out what happened.

As far as I knew, It was the passengers who were usually runaway from the taxi (as a fraud action), but this was the other way around compared with what I experienced. My conclusion at that time was only that the taxi driver was a very good fellow and that's all. So, I wished him every luck in his life for helping me and my wife. But you know, it was not the only reason. He said there is a belief amongst drivers that if there is a delivering pregnant woman he will get a big luck. OH I see.. So, that was the case of what happened then.

ADIKA, MY LIL BRO





Yesterday night I couldn't sleep well. I was waiting for a good news. Aunty Nung and Father said that my lil bro would come out from Mom's belly. Wow, I couldn't wait to see him and play with him.

When I play with Aunty in the morning, Father told me by the phone that my lil brother had been born and was named ADIKA. Wow, I was so excited to hear that. But I have to wait for some time to see him because I am now in Semarang and he is still in a hospital in Jogja.
