The Driver and His Advice
10:45:00 AM
Everyday
I always used angkot to anywhere in my town. So, last night after class in
TBI Riau I used angkot and sat beside the driver. He asked me about what my
activity before. I said English course. I am really surprised! He told me about anything what he
really worried. One of them is young generations like me much prefer to speak
with English than national or mother language. Very proud. He said our language
(Bahasa) in crisis.
It
will be more useful if am learning about Arabic. In the hereafter, everyone
will be asking with Arabic. Who is your God? Who is your prophet? etc. (we
talked as long as road). In Indonesia, so many people who forget or pretending
couldn't speak mother language. Indonesia is a big country with so many mother languages
from Sabang to Merauke. Why we have to take English
course if after that we`re not use English or not going anywhere? Just in
Indonesia? It’s a shame!
In
my opinion, He`s an Idealist. Dislike if he doesn`t like and not pretend or act
weird to try get others sympathy. Even he really strong with his opinion, he`s
well mannered. He said sorry if bother me, but I said nothing, it was fine.
You
know? am double surprised when he said he can speak eight mother language! WOW!
Include my mother language, Banjar (Borneo). Uuuuuuu after that, his dialect
turns to banjar and very well. Like, Ikam di banjar kah? bujur kah? Ikam
handak baamang ka imah ulun? (Are you lives in banjar? really? are you
coming to my home?) Aaaaaaa I miss my hometown so badly :'(
It
really help to lives in this country if you can speak mother language as much
as you can. He proves it! Btw, on the last conversation with him, he gives me
some advice.
Use your time wisely, and think about what we talked before. I hope it
can change your point of view.
