Testimony 21/03/06: God Had It All Under Control

Today was a long day. I started driving home from work at 7pm. I was tired and obviously not that alert anymore. Then a motorbike pulled over. By the time I realised it, the motorbike have jerked and the both men on it stared at me.

“Oh…” I sighed. I had hit the bike I told myself.

I got out of my car and told my colleague in the car behind me to help me talk to them. I don’t know what to do in the situation like this. It was dark. Both guys are men. And I am not familiar how to negotiate on the road. We don’t really do insurance over here in Indonesia.

I jumped into my car again. But before I start the engine, one of the guys knocked on my side window. I opened it and he told me that it was okay. I only scratched his leg. He asked me to drive more carefully next time.

Well… My car has a three-liter turbo engine diesel. It is like a monster! With a bulbar on it, it was a miracle that I had not crushed anything at all. Thank God for it.

For my colleagues, the horror was not that I hit someone. Going out of the car was a definite no, no. They said if I am not sure that I have hit something, just drive on. Even if I have hit something, go over to the police station to settle things. Why? Because people could simply become anarchic and kill me on the street. But I didn’t know that. And I realized that I didn’t even lock the car when I went out of it! But God had it all under control. Amen!
