Born Again To Love You
1941 Passed And I'm Still in 1942
Today January 11, 1942, the first time the Japanese entered Indonesia. This year, the Dutch East Indies name was changed to Indonesia.
2 months before the Japanese entered the island of Java, Gouw Boen San and I enjoyed the two days together. A year passed since my arrival in this dimension, my memories of Charles, Zefanya and Zeline began to fade. There's not much I remember about the future.
Every morning I wake up and go for a walk with Gouw Boen San. In the afternoon I was at home waiting for Gouw Boen San, while my husband went to work. Sometimes Mr. Wang would ask me to go to his house to
cooking food for him. That night, after Gouw Boen San went to work, my husband and I went for a short walk.

2 Months later, early in March, Japan entered the island of Java. On March 8, the Dutch Colonial Government surrendered unconditionally to the Japanese. Since then, Indonesia has been occupied by Japan.
With great cruelty, Japan colonized Indonesia. Many of us were killed. Many of us were fooled by the Japanese attitude. At first we welcomed Japan. Because the Japanese managed to expel the Dutch. But we were wrong. They were originally sweet-tongued but bitter in the back.
Many natives were forced to work rods. They slashed the throats of Indonesians with a very sharp long sword they called the Katana.

One time I was about to take a walk to the Johar market alone using Brackets and kebaya. Approaching the bus terminal, I saw some places that suddenly turned into the modern era. Highway road
full of luxury cars and motorcycles. I saw the Metro hotel. I barely remember the future, like a person hallucinating in the past.
In the middle of the street across from the bus terminal near the Johar market, I suddenly got scared and cried. My heart is beating fast. I saw my surroundings change from the modern era to the era of colonization, from the era of colonization back to the modern era. The bus terminal suddenly turned into a Metro hotel. I'm dizzy. Suddenly I fell unconscious. I fell and disappeared in the colonial era. Luckily, in the modern era, I fell when the traffic lights just changed so I didn't get hit.
The car in front of me that was walking towards me suddenly stopped suddenly. A young man got out of the car alone and carried me to his car and took me to Telogorejo hospital.
While in the hospital, the man contacted Charles. Not yet Charles came, I woke up first and the man who had helped me was still sitting with me.
“Lie Kun Lian? How am I in the hospital? Why are you wearing weird clothes like never?” my many.
“Lie Kun Lian?!” Ask a curious gambler.
“Lie Kun Lian, Which Gouw Boen San? Are you being told by Gouw Boen San again to take care of me?” tanyaku.
I tried to sit and look at the feet of the Gamblers. Gambling with sneakers.
“Who are you?” many fear.
“You're not Lie Kun Lian are you?!” I continued to scream in fear.
Judi held my hand gently as I tried to rebel. The other patient looked at me. One of the people guarding the other patient called the nurse.
“Rose! It's me Judi!” answer the gambling firmly.
“I thought you weren't A Lian! Unhand me! You have no right to look after me. Only Lie Kun Lian
who has the right to take care of me. That's Gouw Boen San's order!” I was angry while looking into Judi's eyes with wide eyes.
Suddenly Charles came and held me. Charles was shocked to see me and hugged me tight.
“Gouw Boen San, he's not Lie Kun Lian. Sorry for being with another man. He said, he is a Gambling not A Lian!” I said.
“Who are you? You Rahayu?” Gouw Boen San asked looking at me with a slightly jerking tone.
“Charles, don't be hard on your wife!” the word gambling calmed Charles.
“Charles?” many wonder.
“My jawab! You Rahayu?” jolt Charles.
“You're not Gouw Boen San? Your clothes are as strange as this man! Let go of me!” I said pointing
Gamblers.
“Rahayu! I'm Gouw Boen San! Yes I am Gouw Boen San. This man is right Lie Kun Lian” explained Charles.
“If you are Gouw Boen San, where is Han Kai Li? Han Kai Li is always with you” I doubt.
“Han Kai Li is going to buy fruit!” alibi Gouw Boen San.
“Why is this Dutch building different from other hospitals?” many wonder.
“Gouw Boen San, can we talk for a minute outside?” pinta Judi.
“Rahayu, you wait here huh? I spoke to Lie Kun Lian” first, Charles said as he put on my pink peach parachute jacket
“Charles, lebahke, iki unae piye?!” Ask Judi.
“Judi, Rose wes!” charles said happily while hugging Judi.
“Kuwe nek talking sing clear tho! Lanang - wedok ora cetho kabeh!” cetus Gambling.
“Poko’e, kuwe ngaku dadi Lie Kun Lian sek. Benny kandani kon dadi Han Kai. I'm Gouw Boen San. Rahayu iku Rose's. Ngono wes! Bojoku iku bar muleh teapot past dimension!” obviously brief Charles.
“Ayo snapping sek! Rose must ijeh shock iki!” take Charles.
While I was in the room, while Charles and Judi were talking, I saw people holding cellphones and watching television. I still didn't realize I was going home to where I was supposed to be.
“Gouw Boen San, what is that thing that people hold?” I was surprised at Gouw Boen San who was in the room and walked to me.
“Oh it. That's a cell phone we said was a cell phone!” answer Charles. Judi felt strange about my question.
“Why in the hospital there is a cinema?” I'm still amazed.
“It was television” said Charles.
Suddenly my head hurts. I asked Charles to close the room curtain so he wouldn't see another patient because my head hurt so much.
Charles and Judi were worried. My body started to disappear. The gambling was shocked to see me and glared.
“Heh, Les! Awake bojomu kok ngene?!” Ask Judi in shock.
“Rose! Rose!” Call Charles.
“Boen San, my head hurts a lot!” I said in pain while closing my eyes very tight.
As my headache began to wane, I opened my eyes. I see I've been sleeping on a patient's bed in the colonial era in a modern patient's shirt. Whereas in the modern era I disappeared without a trace in front of Charles and Judi's eyes. The gambling is shocked and frightened. Charles faded away to see me disappear.
“Charles, heh! Ojo medeni me! Do you want to do your bojomu opo ora? How did you say ujuk-ujuk?!” (Charles, hey! Don't fucking take me! That was really your wife, wasn't it? How did it suddenly disappear?) Ask Judi.
“Bojoku must be mbalek colonial era Dutch colonial!” answer Charles withered.
“Kuwe ojo smacking!” (You don't lie!)
“A week ago I met Rose sing position ne still in a coma neng hospital. But I have Rose ning nggon liyane I am healthy! I'm surprised ono kuwe defender Budi. Parahe I yo shocked my crew dewe. Jebule I reincarnasine Gouw Boen San. Kuwe reincarnation ne Lie Kun Lian. Benny reincarnated Han Kai Li. Neng kono yo ono Harry. Tenan I'm surprised’e puwooolll. Jebule I crossed the time to the Dutch colonial period” explained Charles.
“Wes angel iki affair!! Rose mulehe piye? Sampe kuwe tuo bojomu? Your kids piye?” answer Judi.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that everything was different from before. There is no Gouw Boen San and also Lie Kun Lian. I'm alone. The hospital building is different from what I saw earlier.
“Sus, where am I?” manya curious.
“You are at Lang Tjhwan Tiong Hoa Ie Wan” replied the nurse. The Lang Tjhwan Tiong Hoa Ie Wan Polyclinic was the name of the Telogorejo hospital that year.
***
That night, Gouw Boen San, Wang Cheng Hai, Lie Kun Lian, Han Kai Li and Wu Jiang found me.
Gouw Boen San who saw me from outside the room immediately approached me and hugged me.
“Why you? I've been worried all day looking for you everywhere!” gouw Boen San.
“I'm just looking for you who's lost somewhere. Last afternoon you and Lie Kun Lian wore really weird clothes.
You accompanied me but when I was in pain and when I opened my eyes, you two disappeared. I saw all these freaks this afternoon. The cinema is in the hospital room. Weird right?” my story.
“It is precisely your clothes that are now strange. What clothes are you wearing. Last afternoon I ...” Denied Gouw Boen San suddenly cut Lie Kun Lian.
Lie Kun Lian pulled Gouw Boen San out of the room and explained her suspicions.
“Master, I think, Rahayu returned to the future and returned to the present. I suspect he's forgotten about his identity from the future”.
Gouw Boen San walked into the room to see me.
“Rose?” call Gouw Boen San.
“You called me Rose all the time! You forgot what my name is? Earlier, Lie Kun Lian also said that he was a gambler. A Lian call you Charles. Actually you guys why the hell today is so strange!”
Lie Kun Lian whispered to Gouw Boen San. “Reacted right I said!”
“Why are you guys whispering?” My toot.
“Lie Kun Lian told me to take you home” replied Gouw Boen San.
“How about while you stay at my house first until your condition improves?” tawang Wang Cheng Hai's.
Gouw Boen San looked at Lie Kun Lian while furrowing his eyebrows thinking.
“Alright! For a while let us stay at your house until Rahayu's condition improves” replied Gouw Boen
San.
“I don't want to! I want to go home!” I said.
“But I have to work. Who will take care of you later? If you are at the home of Mr. Wang Cheng Hai, there is a maid who will help you” said Gouw Boen San.
I shut up for a moment and thought. Before long I nodded my head and assented.
I walked out of my room and out of the hospital wearing the parachute jacket that Charles was wearing. The people who came across me saw me strange.
Mr. Wang Cheng Hai brought me back to his mansion. I'm at Mr. Wang's house. I took off my jacket. I put my jacket on the floor. There was a loud sound of objects hitting the floor.
I wonder what it is in my jacket. I opened my jacket pocket and I found a cell phone like the one I saw last afternoon in the hospital.
I went out of the room and looked for Gouw Boen San. Gouw Boen San was having a conversation with mister Wang Cheng Hai, Lie Kun Lian, Han Kai Li and Wu Jiang about my departure this afternoon.
“Gouw Boen San, am I interrupting?” I suddenly arrived in the room.
“What's up, Rahayu?” Ask Mr. Wang Cheng Hai.
“Is this thing yours, Gouw Boen San?” Ask me while lifting and shaking my phone.
“What is it?” Ask Mr. Wang Cheng Hai.
I walked towards Mr. Wang and gave him my phone. Lie Kun Lian looked at the thing and thought about what the name of this thing was while recalling my story about the future back then.
“Oh yes, it's handphonemilik mr. Gouw Boen San” sahut Lie Kun Lian.
“Hand is hands. Phoneis phone. So this is a cell phone. This is a cordless communication tool” explains Lie Kun Lian.
“Oh yes I understand” said Mr. Wang Cheng Hai.
“Sorry I'm back in the room again yes. My head still hurts a little bit” I said.
Mr. Wang Cheng Hai gave my phone to Gouw Boen San. Mr. Gouw Boen San looked at my phone. He was shocked by the technology of Android phones. Just touching can already change the picture. Gouw Boen San opened my phone gallery and took a look at my photos with Charles and the kids. Not only that, he saw a photo of Charles and Gambling.
“Is that a phone in the future that Rahayu once told you about?” Ask Han Kai Li.
“Seems like yes. But this thing is amazing. Just like Rahayu said. The world as in the hands of” replied Lie Kun Lian.
“Like this is what we are in the future, A Lian!” cetus Gouw Boen San while showing their photo to Lie Kun Lian.
“This is a photo of my children in the future” while sliding a photo slide on mobile phone.
“Show me those photos. I want to see what the future looks like!” pinta mister Gouw Boen San.
Since then Gouw Boen San kept my phone.
***
The next day when Mr. Wang Cheng Hai was at work. Gouw Boen San took me to his parents' house in the town of Waisian. We went just the two of us. I asked not to use the car. Only use
railroad train.
We arrived in the city of Kudus and to the city of Waia using a dockar.
During the trip, Gouw Boen San really took care of me. He kept holding my hand.
Upon arrival in the town of Waisian, we walked in an alley like a narrow hallway. Until finally on the right of the road there is a small house without a yard. A house with a big tree next to it.
We arrived at that house. Many of our neighbors welcomed us so happily. Gouw Boen San stopped in front of the house greeting the neighbor who greeted him. But he told me to go in and find his mother.
I walked into the house. I suddenly thought I had experienced this before. I fell silent and tried to remember. Sure enough, I saw it in my dreams when I was a kid.
From inside the house, Gouw Boen San's mother wearing Brackets with her hair came to greet me kindly and holding my arm took me inside the house.
I don't know why I feel so sorry for my mother-in-law. I want to take care of him and take care of him.
Before long, Gouw Boen San came in and greeted his mother. The first time I saw Gouw Boen San as him was not Charles. And I love him as he is.
“My daughter, I'm sorry that mom hasn't prepared any food for you. You guys wait a minute. Mama will cook you guys something really good” said my mother-in-law.
“Ma, don't feel shy. I'll help mama cook”. And we cook. Gouw Boen San also helped his mother cook. That day I was very happy to enjoy my life as the wife of Mr. Gouw Boen San. In my future life, I love my husband too because he has a sincere heart. I actually love the same 2 people. It's just different times. They were both hard but their hearts were sincere in love even though their tongues could not express the word love.
***
The next day we both walked together and joined hands. We headed to the Hian Thian Siang Tee temple in Waatian. I accompanied Mr. Gouw Boen San to stay there. While Mr. Gouw was in shadow, I took a walk inside the temple looking around.
After a few minutes my husband came over, he came up to me and took me for a walk in the town of Waisih.
While walking casually, I asked her, “Suami, what were you talking about?”.
He replied, “I ask the Gods to live later, me and you will be a married couple again. We became a happy family with beautiful and handsome children. My wife, I'm sorry I've been so rude to you. If God gives me another chance to be your wife, I will treat you well and love you with all my heart.”.
I cried when I heard him say that. I just answered it, “I love you.. I love you so much!”. Gouw Boen San asked about the meaning. “I love you. I love you so much”, I replied.
“My wife, wait a minute. I will go there to buy fruit” Gouw Boen San said then leave me across the street. I did not pay attention to the road and walked leisurely. From behind me was a young man riding a very fast bike and hit me.
I fell and was unconscious. My head was bleeding from a rock. Gouw Boen San was shocked and immediately carried me and took me to the house of his friend who could treat the sick.
The next night I realized what was happening and I started not remembering many things.
