commuter train in Jakarta and the surrounding sub-urban area is using second-hand train and car train from Japan. the government have always tried to increase the capacity by buying more trains, but the the number of passengers always beat this efforts. the growing number of sub-urban people working in the city contribute to the high number of passengers. so in peak hours, please expect to throw comfort immediately. this is depressing for people who are sensitive and in need of comfort. after a while it is advised that ignoring discomfort aspect will be best for your sanity.
the story took place one morning, last week. it was a rare chance that i got a seat, but i did and it was splendid. so splendid until two ladies standing on my left were sharing stories. the lady in long hair (L1) listening attentively while her counterpart in hijab (L2) was talking rapidly.
the story was somewhat rare to conservative people. rare in a sense that such discussion is considered immoral. not to mention the heavy sins that two people have to carry when committing such actions. however, the point of view chosen will be from another aspect. the point of concern was heterosexual interest played by men in Jakarta and how female managed their point of view.
L2 was apparently in a flirting situation with her colleague (M). she knew that he was still seeing his ex-girlfriend. one day she found out that he and his ex spent time together in a hotel. she also found out that such activity had occurred multiple times. L2 expressed her rejection repulsively. she mentioned the sins those people had to carry, from her muslim point of view. L2 also cited that the guy had given her random signals. he clearly admitted that he was close with L2. he was well aware that he and L2 seemed to share the same feelings. L2 on the other hand, decided not to keep in touch with M because of his activity with his ex.
L2 tried to leave the impression that she was the side who won by deciding not to keep in touch. but she didn's see that she also long for his attention, highly appreciate certain of his thoughtful behavior.
the stranger who listened to her story would say ok girl you like this guy, really like this guy. but the fact that he couldnt even be straight to ask you to be his girl was something you need to think about. you knew he frequented hotels with someone else. you knew he was still so close with another girl. so why would you waste more than half of this train journey to pour your heart out. the fact that you really took the time to give space in your heart could show you were not winning at all.
okay now you stop talking to him. that's good. but it is even better if you learn that he kept you in stand-by seat. whenever the other girl gone, you will be in spotlight, for a while...
it is actually a common thing to see a couple visiting hotel for short time, or even a full day. it doesnt matter if he is bringing his ex-gf, ex-wife or even an ex-male. all they need to show to show is valid ID, for the sake of data requirement, and pay. the hotel wont even care if your ID is fake. different scenario will happen in sharia hotel, but still the "secular" outnumber the sharia hotel.
in easy term... the stranger will conclude M was just not that into L2. L2 tried too hard to look hard to get but fail...
