"Aww, you sure? What time?"
"Nine."
"WHAT--"
"Nine."
"Well--"
"I said nine."
"Nine thirty?"
"Nine thirty. I demand you to be on time."
"Will do!"
A glimpse of conversation with me and one of my best-friend. We left that day for an art exhibition, we had fun, we had so much talks, the point is, we are doing what best-friends do. Having fun.
"Did you heard the news?"
"What?"
"The bombing."
"I know, but I haven't read the news just yet."
"You should." my sister said to me.
He's Christian. And I am Moslem. It never-- never ever be a problem for us. As best-friends, we complete each other sentences. Him and I, we share the same thoughts. We love what we are, but indeed different opinions are often present. As I cried and scrolled through the news, I can only imagine,
What if that happen to anyone whom I loved?
Even more terrifying is that because one whole family did that. A parents and 4 children. How?

What's your religion?
Islam, Christian, Catholic, Buddha, Hindu,
you can pick one.
You are free to pick one.
Go ahead!
You done? Alright.
Uh oh, no. You pick the wrong card.
You pick Christian!
How dare you pick Christian?
This is unacceptable! I now must go and defeat you.
No matter how kind you are to me,
no matter how many lives you've saved,
no matter that you have a family too,
like I do.
You are still my enemy.
You ask me why?
Because you pick Christian!
for Surabaya, 13.05.18.
we will forever remember this grief, this scar on our history as a nation.
we will not forget.
