COMMONWEALTH
Episode 12's



I was sitting on the dock this afternoon looking out over the ocean


wide while drying clothes. Sometimes I take pictures of the island kids


jump off the dock, swim, and boat.


I'm still staring at the face of the woman I photographed a few days ago, I don't know if there was


something that drew me to approach the woman. I really can't


forgot face.


The sun was setting, the children were rushing


leave the dock to get home. They whisper every afternoon


must go to the floating house to teach. I nodded, I still


sitting alone on the dock. Watch the red dusk begin


drowning changed the night.

 Today my friend will arrive, Ahmad he is just like me looking for data to complete the final task. At least a friend is discussing here. I was waiting for him at the dock, you know for the umpteenth time the woman in my camera was walking along the beach with the kids, he was joking with them. Oh God why am I so happy to meet this woman.


I photographed the action with the kids, I tried to get close to them. Initially


the woman didn't know where I was who kept following her. Yet it


suddenly I was standing in front of me.


 Oh God, what a perfect creature you created. I directly extended


my hand in front of the introductory sign, but unfortunately not welcomed with


good. He saw the cross I was wearing. Behind the veil


he looked down and turned


away me.


 I'm really confused, what's wrong with me? I checked my clothes


instantly, nothing seems strange. I stared at the necklace


hanging around my neck.


February 11, 1997


 Ahmad my friend just arrived, I let him rest. She's rooming with me. I'm still pondering


about my meeting with that woman. Oh my God why am I like this? earlier


the woman was their teacher. Oh my God maybe that's what makes women


it behaves like that. God, why does that woman have to be? the obedient woman


religious, how is it possible?I still look at the picture of the woman on camera.


 February 14, 1997


 I am ashamed to remember the incident, Ahmad patted my shoulder as my face flushed red


resisting shame. I don't know which crazy idea from which moved my heart to


give a flower to the woman. The woman's response was cold, looking over


kearahpun. Oh God tormented me with this feeling? really I am


have never experienced it this hard and even more stupid island tips


watching me do that. After the birthday celebration at home


the islanders who just gave birth a few days ago.


The island tip had patted my shoulder and said something that made me still wonder


to date. If I'd faced so many obstacles if I still


I want to approach this woman.


   February 15, 1997


Unbeknownst to Ahmad, I wrote a letter to the woman. Which I put


on the island children who learn to teach with him. I am not patient


waiting for a letter from him. I wrote down all my feelings so he knew


it was my feeling that was so strong to be close to him


 February 16, 1997


Still no reply to the letter, I'm waiting for the woman at the dock


as I promised in the letter, but there was no sign of his presence.


The smell is not at all. I stared at the floating house from


wharf. I don't know if I've been waiting for him for a few days but he never came


meet me.


Seriate...
