Don’t You Be Angry
Don’t You Be Angry
Now, don’t you be angry as I suddenly do remember the Jamu vendor (seller of bitter-sweet hot drinks for good health) some two, three years ago – she could be my granddaughter – riding with me in an angkot (car for public transportation) to her village on my way to Tenjolaya in the mountains. You won’t find it on a map.
She was so lovely as a flower, sitting silently in a corner. For the first time I regretted as I lost this chance. I’m almost always slow in deciding something. It’s more easy to do things in your mind. She was so beautiful, I hadn’t the nerve. I could but I didn’t buy me a cup of jamu in the car. It’s so cheap and she could keep the change and be happy to take an unexpected extra earning home. I have never regretted anything before, you know?
So said Op Johan to his wife.
