Being Second: Young Girl To Om Duda
5 Minutes of reflection

Where a lot of people out there think that you are someone very important. You're the leader of the youth, you're all leading a lot of organizations, or you just graduated from college and are now a doctor, detective or police inspector."

"Sometimes it's hard to adjust this, the fact that everyone looks at me and thinks, that I'm an important person, gives me a degree, it occurred to them that I was a superhuman, or that it occurred to them that I was like an angel, or that I thought I was better than them."

"And the question arises where people see things from me. But when I stood in the mirror, I saw someone so different."

"What happens when the person people see is not who I really am."

"And how do we refer to these two problems?! I hope I'm not the only one who feels this. Don't you all feel the same way?"

"Actually, before that deduction will be given by Helmi, I just want to tell the story one story."

"One of the men came up to me yesterday, he asked "when you came home, did you just eat this simple meal?"

I said, "no, I eat cereal in the morning, burgers for lunch, and pizza at night. You know, I'm as normal as you are."

"It does not mean that when I am a doctor, I only eat vegetables, fruits, and even meat. And unfortunately, when I was working as a doctor, people looked at me like I wasn't a human, or something to do with you, a superhuman who was above all the rest."

"So this is what I want to discuss before deduction. Give me 5 minutes to go" Keano said.

"What would you do if you felt the figure you saw in the mirror was different from what people were looking at?"

"The first answer, all we have to do is understand that, is it such a different figure? Is the figure you see in the mirror so different? With a figure that others see?"

"Or are you forcing yourself too much, and you are indeed so amazing. Or you're thinking too highly and you should reconsider some of the things you've done.".

*****

"So I've done litmus tests, the kind of questions you can ask yourself. To try to understand whether the figure was indeed so different, or just one person."

"The first question you should ask yourself, and I want you to think about this."

"If I want to visit you where your community works, or if I want to visit someone. Then I would ask them, "what is my story about me, what is my figure? When you all get together with me, what does it feel like?".

"When everyone is with you, what do they feel?"

"Think about this answer! If I visit someone or your workplace, what do they see of you? Think about it!"

"If you go home and ask your brother, ask your mother, ask your father, or ask a wife. What do they think you are? How do they feel when they are close to you? How does it affect them?! Are you going to get a different answer?"

"Do people out there think something about you and when you get together, do they do you specifically? When you go home, are you treated specifically? Or treated so differently?!"

"Of course if you get two different answers, then there's going to be a problem."

"Once again, I'm delivering this because I need answers! I asked myself all this in front of everyone. My friend is here and he can prove it." Glanced at Helmi who seemed stunned by Keano's words that were so impassive in her heart.

*****

"My own figure is different from when I was outside the house and was inside the house. My figure seen by others is different from what my mother, my father, saw."

"I once read an article that said that, best of all, you are the best to your family. To this day I still have not found a word that states as well as possible you are the best in your community, or the best at work."

"The answer is very simple, because doing extraordinary is so easy when outside the home, it is easy to be good at work. Otherwise you'll be tweeted on Twitter, otherwise they'll think badly of you, and talk about that bad thing to others."

"And if you do good to your own family, if you can do good to your family, relatives, brothers, they will not cast you away."

"But .. if you do anything bad on the outside that will potentially ruin your relationship out there."

"That is why, we are so easy to be good on the outside, in front of so many people. But it's so hard to be a good person when you're at home, it happens because your true character, is inside the house not outside the house."

"When you're tired of work, you're tired after a long day, you're facing a lot of hard things that day, you're having a hard day."

"Then you will try to cover all of it, no one will see your flaws, because you can cover all of it."

"But .. When you are in the house, you will be like a monster, you will overflow all the events of a day so exhausting, which you are craving all day, to whom will you vapourize it? To those whom you should love the most, to those whom you should respect."

"This is what we need to do, think about it!".

*****

Obviously the speech from Keano made Helmi quite self-conscious about everything he had done so far, no one knows the shortcomings until this moment.

*****

Was Keano really trying to resuscitate Helmi by giving an implicit advice through a long speech?

Or is it possible that the long speech will have something to do with the case that has already happened (the case of the big explosion in vector 56?)

Or could it be, the speech was actually only intended for himself alone?.
