You never know your friends ... or acquiantances...

Some people might remember the article in Kompas one or two days ago about a girl murdered by her friend, who - when she disappeared - pretended to search for her with her other friends and family. I found out later that the poor girl (Amanda) and the alleged perpetrator (Ronald) were both friendsters (thanks to Victor for putting the message on my bulletin board).

Let's see what HIS friends tell about him (testimonials, testimonials):

Once upon a time, dia ini pernah jadi admirer temen kos gw, tiap malem nyambangin sajiono 15 u/ m’dptk’ pujaan hatinya...buset,pantang menyerah bo!

pertama kali ngeliat 'bapak penjaga workshop' ini tadinya gw sangka dia senior,eh ternyata pindahan n satu angkatan sama gw.....ronald itu baik, helpful,hardworker, partner yang ok dalam segala acara kepanitiaan (btw thanx nald , you're really really did the great job), tapi kadang2 suka gangguin gw juga.......but in short, he's nice .....btw thanx ya testinya !

Mantan orang ndutz, baik hati, organisatoris sejati. Pernah bikin kisruh pas pemilu ketua OSIS (kenapa tidak pemilu legislatif sekalian).


And Amanda happened to be one of the first people who gave him their appreciative testimonials. She said:

Amanda, 04/02/2004:
Kesan pertama baru kenal dia sih serem.. pas udah kenal ternyata serem banget!!! apalagi kalo 1 mobil brg dia trus d depan ada metromini ngetem. tanpa malu2 dia langsung buka kaca mobil terus ngegedor2 mobil sambil teriak2 dengan bahasa leluhurnya "Hei, minggir kau!" langsung jiper gw... tapi kalo gak ketemu metromini ngetem dia sih orangnya baik.. mau nolongin orang.. diajak serius bisa,diajak gokil bisa.. cuma satu jeleknya: biang telat!! haram hukumnya buat ronald berangkat k kampus sebelum matahari nongol. bukan begitu bukan?? ;)



Of course, we will have to wait for a while until this guy is proven guilty (up to now, no news yet on supporting evidences). I am not establishing an opinion here, nor am I character-assassinating. I am trying to say that we never know our friends and acquiantances. Amanda's testimonial gave the impression that she trusted him, though perhaps there were times when she thought of him as less then a patient person. Whatever reason had driven him , it is so sad that a guy who seemed bright and faithful and possessing the companion of loads of mates, could've fallen into this. He lost everything: his future, and his friends' confidence. Most importantly, he has lost himself...
