The Violence in my Car

 My first unique experience occurred when I picked up the customers from one of hotel in Kuta with the stop in  Canggu area. It was the middle of the day and the weather was very hot. Actually the distance from Kuta to Canggu is not far, but when driving during the traffic it can get very congested, causing the travel time to be around one hour longer.


My passengers are two peoples, one man around 50 years old and the other a woman around 45 years old. After put the suitcase and luggage in the trunk I once again confirmed that the destination was correct in Canggu. The woman said yes and finally I started driving the car. I asked them where they came from, the woman said they came from Eastern of Indonesia. But I felt something was strange with them. Every question I asked was always answered with short answers by the woman without asking me back. Strangeness also happened to the  men because he was just silent, even since they entered the car they had not even had talking. So silence throughout the trip.

I try to think positively, maybe they felt tired so they weren't in the mood to talking. Finally, I only focused on my driving. Trying to split the traffic jams in Kuta and Seminyak in the afternoon. Slowly I heard a woman's crying voice. It was getting louder and louder. I only glanced glimpsed from the rearview mirror near the steering wheel. In just a few seconds, I was seen that the woman who was crying. I didn't dare to say any more words and my focus was just driving.

"How many times have you done this " the woman said

"Really, just this once. Only one time.. I've said how many times to you but you still don't believe it" the man answered.

"Where are there the thieves who admit that even though they are caught. Maybe you have cheated behind me dozens of times! The woman screamed loudly in anger.

"Well, if you don't believe it, that's your business, not mine!" the man replied.

"It has been more than 10 times you have visited me here and before I came, you must have put another woman into the hotel, you are disgusting !!" The woman screamed. After that she started to hit the body of the man for several times. The man was only silent without giving any reaction. .

I was even more confused about what I should do to calm the anger of this woman. She was burning by serious jealousy. On one hand, I also do not confirm the behavior of the man to the woman who has to cheat on the women. I also don't know what their relationship status is, as husband and wife or still in a relationship, who knows I also don't know. What is clear is that the yelling, cursing and insults from both of them were incessant in my car. The two warring beings added to the heat of our trip at that time.

The trip felt so long because it passed through the congestion areas of Kerobokan and Seminyak. I was just stunned and confused what to do, I could only remain silent and continue to drive in silence. There was no feeling whatsoever last night, suddenly there was a big fight in my car. After an hour that felt like a long time, we finally arrived at our destination in Canggu. So I can breathe a sigh of relief to get out of this confusing situation.

Terjadi KDRT di Mobil Saya

Pengalaman unik saya yang pertama terjadi saat saya menjemput penumpang dari salah satu hotel di Kuta dengan tujuan ke Canggu. Saat itu tengah hari dan cuaca sangat panas menyengat. Sebenarnya jarak Kuta ke Canggu tidaklah terlalu jauh, tapi saat mengemudi siang hari lalu lintas bisa sangat macet sehingga menyebabkan waktu tempuh menjadi lebih lama sekitar satu jam perjalanan.  Penumpang saya jumlahnya dua orang satu lelaki paruh baya umur sekitar 50 tahun dan satunya lagi wanita dengan usia sekitar 45 tahun. Setelah memasukkan koper dan barang bawaan di bagasi saya sekali lagi mengkonfirmasi bahwa tujuannya sudah benar ke Canggu. Si ibu mengiyakan dan akhirnya mobil pun saya jalankan. Saya bertanya asal mereka dari mana, si ibu menjawab mereka berasal dari daerah Indonesia Timur. Tetapi saya merasakan ada yang aneh dengan mereka karena setiap pertanyaan yang saya ajukan selalu dijawab  dengan jawaban pendek-pendek oleh si ibu tanpa nanya balik ke saya. Keanehan juga terjadi pada si ba

Do Yo Want Some Bintang?

Siang hari ini saya dapat order perjalanan dari salah satu hotel di daerah Jimbaran. Empat orang keluar dari lobby hotel tiga cowok bule dan satu cewek. Si cewek duduk di belakang bersama dua cowok lainnya sedangkan cowok satunya duduk disamping saya di depan. Tujuan kita saat ini adalah Bali Speed Gocart yang berada di daerah Keramas, Gianyar.  Perjalanan ke sana bisa ditempuh dalam waktu sekitar 40 menit sampai satu jam. Sebelum berangkat cowok yang duduk  di depan berpesan untuk berhenti di mini market dia mau belanja rokok katanya. Tepat di depan salah satu minimarket saya berhenti dan cowok yang duduk di depan masuk ke minimarket. Setelah beberapa menit belanja akhirnya dia keluar minimarket sambil membawa satu kresek besar belanjaan yang kemudian di taruh di bawah tempat duduknya. Ternyata kresek besar tersebut penuh berisi botol-botol beer lokal.  Dengan santai mereka minum beer di mobil saya, bahkan mereka menawari saya dengan minuman tersebut yang tentu saja saya tolak dengan

Penumpang dari Manakah yang paling Royal Tip?

Tak terasa sudah ribuan trip yang sudah saya selesaikan sebagai seorang pengemudi taxi online di pulau Dewata. Penumpang saya pun bermacam macam mulai dari anak-anak sampai kakek-kakek dan nenek-nenek. Mulai dari anak sekolah yang selalu menuntut untuk ngebut karena sering mepet berangkat ke sekolah, ibu-ibu borju yang belanja oleh-oleh berdus-dus di pusat oleh-oleh Krisna atau Agung Bali,  cewek-cewek kafe yang agak genit sampai bule-bule dari berbagai negara.  Pertanyaannya adalah wisatawan dari negara manakah yang paling royal memberikan tip? Berdasarkan pengalaman saya selama ini bule dari Belandalah yang paling suka memberikan tip, kadang besar terkadang juga kecil tetapi pasti ada lebihnya. Bule ataupun orang negro dari Amerika juga suka sekali memberikan tip dengan syarat perjalanannya panjang dan ngobrolnya seru. Semakin asyik ngobrol saat perjalanan tipnya juga sebanding akan semakin banyak. Selanjutnya adalah bule dari Australia, kita harus pintar pintar memuji mereka baik me
