My Ex-Girlfriend.

        When I was still a university student, I had a girlfriend from Jakarta called Dewi. At that time we loved each other very much and planned to get married as soon as we got a job after graduating from university. However, our dream could not come true because of our parent. Dewi's parents has chosen a rich guy for Dewi to marry. Dewi had tried to persuade her parent to let me marry her, but her parent did not care about her problem. With a broken heart, Dewi and I separated. Nevertheless, Dewi and I still kept in touch very well.

       One day, five years later, Dewi, who had been working in Jakarta, wanted to come to Yogyakarta, where I had worked after finishing university, in relation to business from her office. Before she come to Yogyakarta, she asked me to pick her up at Tugu Railway station. Coincidentally, the day before Dewi arrived in Yogyakarta, I had a motorbike accident. It was not very serious, but it had caused my glasses to break in pieces and I could not buy a new pair of glasses until Dewi had arrived in Yogyakarta. Therefore, I went to Tugu Railway Station to pick up Dewi without wearing glasses. Consequently, I could not see someone's face very clearly in the distance of seven meters in front of me. However, I was very sure that I could still recognize and see her very well without wearing glasses.

       When I got to Tugu Railway Station, the train on which Dewi rode had just arrived. From the place where I was standing I could see a woman get off from the train. Because I missed Dewi very much, I ran while calling her name quite loudly. To my surprise, she did not react to my loud voice. I thought that it was because of the bustle at the station. Therefore, I kept on running toward her. At the time when I arrived near her, she turned her face to the door of the train to pull her big bag out of the train. After that she stood facing the door. Without waiting for her to move away from the train door and looked at me, I approached her from behind and covered her eyes with my hands. I could feel the girl try to release herself, but the more she tried the strong I kept my hand on her face. I was just about to released my hands from her face and wanted to hug her from behind when I heard someone call my name from the door of the train.

       I wanted to mak sure who the person was. Therefore, I turned and looked at her quickly. How aghast I was. It was Dewi, and the girl whose eyes I covered with my hand from behind was a complete stranger. Not knowing what to do, I quickly released my hands from the girl who seemed to be quite angry. I bowed and apologized to her with an embrrassed face and then I caught Dewi's hand to leave the place. When I told Dewi what had just happened, she roared with laugher
