LIFE - Mind Of A Mankind - Chapter Sixteen
GORDON, JEAN & SONI
"They say that they do not know how to come to meet Mas Robi because they do not know the knowledge of possession. I want to teach them but they say that if they come to the world of physical, they probably would not want to return home to the world of the spirit again."
Gordon's and Jean's comment (In Bali, 1993)
We went to Burger King fast food chain restaurant in the late evening at Legian Street in Kuta, Bali. Yani and I, Natalia, Nonik and Mas Anton were together with us. Natalia came and ate together with me. Then Natalia suddenly said, "Hmmm...Handsome. He looks handsome." So I looked up and asked her what she meant by that statement. She said that there were two White men seating at the table behind me. I turned around to see, there was nobody; the seat and table were empty. Natalia kept smiling at something behind me and said, "Handsome. Handsome. They are looking at me and smiling too." So I told her, "Why not make friends with them and tell them to join us." "Oh! Mas Anton is already talking to them now", she replied. I told Natalia that later we could go for a car ride, probably they could join us and see Bali. Natalia said that they were reluctant to follow us because they did not want to trouble me. I told Natalia to tell them not to worry about that and just joined us. Then Natalia said that they agreed to my invitation.
Natalia said that their names were Gordon and Jean. They were Australians going for a long vacation after completing their studies. They planned to travel to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia.
We went for a car ride towards Nusa Dua Beach. Yani was conscious of our journey to Nusa Dua Beach and she was asking me why we were going there. I told her that I just wanted to see Nusa Dua Beach at night. When we reached that area in Nusa Dua where it was quite dark, Natalia came, "Ah! It's dark. I'm so scared Mas Robi. I'm going to sit at the back seat together with them."
At Nusa Dua Beach, it was quite dark but I knew from what they (Margarita and Natalia) had told me that their world would be day time and I felt no fear within me, after I had known about their world time difference from my world (the physical world). I have no more fears of the darkness and the Beings of darkness because I had surmounted it as a person who believes that Beings of the unseen and humans are all the same.
Yani and I brought a torch light out from the car front compartment for this trip and we sat down watching the nightlights at the distance from Nusa Dua Beach.
Natalia came to meet me laughing, "Mas Robi, Gordon and Jean are sun tanning and swimming naked. They don't feel shameful. They're beaconing to Nonik and me to join them. Mas Anton is swimming in the sea and he wore trouser." Than Natalia left Yani's body.
Yani and I were conversing about our future and some other matters about her brother, Adi. She wished that Adi could learn English and probably worked in for the hotels or restaurants in Bali. I told her that we needed to send Adi for English lessons and I would teach him some English too.
Natalia came again, "Mas Robi, they're rich men. They've lots of US dollars." Natalia told me all these with excitement in her voice. I could not recall what else I had spoken to Natalia or to them through Natalia.
After spending our time at Nusa Dua Beach, we went for a car ride around Bali at Kuta and Denpasar. We came home about 4 a.m. in the morning and I did not sleep that night. Yani slept like a log. I washed the car instead of going to sleep. I only slept after washing the car.
The next day, near noontime, after I woke up from my sleep, Yani was already awake and preparing some lunched. Natalia came and said, "Gordon and Jean wish to return to their hotel. They want to take a taxi but Gordon and Jean wish to thank Mas Robi before they leave. They say that they do not know how to come to meet Mas Robi because they do not know the knowledge of possession. I want to teach them but they say that if they come to the world of physical, they probably would not want to return home to the world of the spirit again." I offerred to send them back to their hotel and Natalia said, "They say Mas Robi is tired because Mas Robi did not sleep the whole night. They're wondering why Mas Robi can't sleep at night." I thought that probably Natalia had told them about it because I usually had difficulties sleeping at night. I told Natalia to tell them not to worry about it and I wished to send them back to their hotel.
I send them back to their hotel. They were staying at Kartika Plaza Hotel at Jalan Kartika Plaza in Kuta. It was a five star hotel. At the hotel car park, Natalia came to me again, "Mas Robi, Gordon and Jean invited us (Natalia, Nonik and Mas Anton) to their room. Is it okay with you if we follow them?" I told Natalia that it was alright then she left Yani's body. Yani was still in hypnotised state when I drove off from the hotel car park and during the journey back home, she regained her consciousness. I could not recall what happend after that.
Yani and I used to go for a car ride to know Bali better and we always did this to pass time when I could not sleep at night. I was not working for about a year and during that period we were always going to places to see more things. I was thinking about what sort of small business that we should open up in Bali. Quietly too, in my mind, I was actually thinking about Noorasmah and her situation in Singapore.
After the meeting with Gordon and Jean, most of the times Yani and I had our own life back again. There were no frequent possession like in the past. Yani was always her usual self. Natalia and the others seemed too busy with their own activities.
However, there was one occasion when Yani and I went to Kuta to eat chicken porridge. Chicken porridge was Yani's favourite dish. Yani ate about three bowls of chicken porridge because Natalia, Nonik, Mas Anton, Gordon and Jean were also eating together with her. I ate about two bowls of chicken porridge (only). Natalia mentioned to me, "Gordon and Jean love the chicken porridge but we've to be considerate about the food intake or else Mbak Yani will feel too full." It seemed that Natalia had taught Gordon the art of possession on humans.
Gordon and Jean seemed to be very quiet spirit entities. I always heard news about them from Natalia and Mas Anton. Gordon did not speak to me when I spoke to him. He just listened to me without looking at me. He loved to eat salads at home. Jean never met me either and Nonik seldom came to meet me because she was busy with Jean. Mas Anton and Natalia told me that Nonik and Jean were closed. She seemed to be fond of Jean rather than Gordon. Nonik would talk to me about Jean those few occasions when she came to meet me. Well, I really could not recall my conversation with Nonik, sorry.
One early evening at home, Yani went to the front door, then suddenly she became hysterical, crying and shouting, "Ah! Get away! Ah! Get away!" I rushed to the door to see what was happening but I saw nothing outside the door. I quickly brought Yani to the sofa to sit and she calmed down. I asked her what was the matter but she remained silent in a dazed. Natalia came to meet me and said, "Mas Robi, Nonik saw a cripple and dirty little boy outside the door. She was startled by this little boy appearance outside the door. This boy is the boy I met at the outside of the building, where Mbak Yani and I attended the aerobic classes. He's here to look for me. Gordon carried the boy inside." Natalia told me that his leg was crippled and he had no family; but everyday there was an old woman who gave him food to eat. She did not know who was that old woman. He was an orphan.
After listening to her I had thought about my encounter with this little boy entity. I was quiet and lost in my own thoughts. Then Natalia informed me that Ibu was not willing to take care of this little boy. I told Natalia that she was an orphan too and she should know what it was like to be an orphan. I told her that I wished this boy to be a part of our family. Natalia was quiet but she knew my empathy for this boy and she agreed to my wish. That day this boy became our family and from that day he lived with us. Natalia did not know his name so she said that they would think of a name for him.
The next day, he came while I was driving and he was so happy travelling in a car. He played with the cassette player and pounding his hands on the dashboard, so I had to speak to him and controlled him. Natalia came earlier on to speak to me before he came to meet me. So, I guessed Natalia and the rest probably wanted me to be accustomed to him. He really behaved and sounded like a little child. He was like learning and trying to talk. He had difficulties in explaining and expressing things. Natalia said Gordon estimated that this boy aged was around two or two and the half years old. Then later, they decided to name him Soni because he loved to listen to the 'SONY' compact hi-fi system at home. Soni called me, "Om (uncle) Bi."
Mas Anton told me that they went to Soni's living quarters. There they saw the place was filthy and stuffy. There were many newspapers lying around and the house was dark.
As time went by, Soni and I became quite closed. I began to loved his company and I pampered him with care and my love. He always slept with Yani and I. He would suckle his thumb until he fell asleep. Like a little child, his body was flexible and he could fold up his legs all the way up to bite his own toes. Yani never did that. The rest were quiet and Soni was the one who had always talked to me with his baby language. He could also joke with me and I taught him to behave obediently too when he was naughty.
Sometimes at home Soni would crawl to me because he found it difficult to walk. One evening, Adi saw Soni walked up to me limping. So he laughed because he thought that Yani was joking around. He saw and heard Yani talking to me like a child who was like learning to talk and he cound not understand it. I told Adi that Yani was possessed by a little boy spirit. He just stared at me and said nothing because he was not sure what I meant. He kept quiet and never asked me any questions.
I think Adi told his sister about it but he faced the same thing. Yani disbelieved him. Natalia, Nonik, Mas Anton and Gordon never showed to Adi their presence and personalities. They knew when to behave like themselves and when to behave like Yani. Unlike Soni, sometimes when we were eating at Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, he would eat and talk like a small child. Sometimes people would be puzzle by Yani's behaviours and conversation. I would always tell Soni softly to behave and he sometimes listened to me and sometimes he did not. I was relieved that each time when Soni came to meet me we were sitting down and not while we were walking in shopping centres, supermarkets and fast food chain restaurants.
Natalia told me that Nonik loved to tease Soni with the word "Pencang or Cang", which in Bahasa Indonesia or Malay means as a Limper. Natalia told me that Soni would bite Nonik or anyone who called him that name.
Soni loved to eat ice-cream cone, which he called it as "Es Dong Dong". Dong-Dong means holding in the hand. I had to buy for him cartons of ice-cream just to make him happy and he disliked seeing Adi eating his ice-cream without his permission and Adi did not know about this. I knew because Soni had complained to me in his own language. He seemed to dislike Adi and I did not know why. Adi seemed to mind his own business and he did not seem to realise that his sister was really not herself because he had told himself that probably Yani was just jestering around with her funny characters.
He loved flowers with sweet aromas. Many a time, he had actually wanted to pluck some beautiful colourful flowers just outside the front door but I stopped him. I told him that Mbak Yani would be mad with him should he do that. Then he would listen to me and stopped begging me to pluck the flowers for him. I had too because those flowers were Yani's favourite flowers. It seemed that the house belongs to Ibu and I suspected that those flowers were also Ibu's favourite flowers. She was the 'boss' and the others were just her guests staying in her home.
When we went swimming, I saw Soni swimming like a baby with difficulties because of his left hand and left leg were handicapped. When the tourists that were patronising the Ramayana Hotel restaurant, next to the swimming pool saw it, they just observed with full attention because they thought that Yani was a handicapped; but when Yani came out from the swimming pool, they were surprised to see Yani walked normally. They were puzzled. I could see their face expression and they would just look at us and some of them even smiled at us.
We spend our time swimming, shopping, listening to music and watching videos, watching the sunset at Kuta Beach, sight-seeing Bali tourists' areas, eating in fast food chains (KFC, Burger King & Pizza Huts) and western or local restaurants or at road side food vendors, going to the discotheques and going for night car rides whenever I could not sleep at night. At one occasion, Natalia came to me while we were at KFC. After we ate she wanted to walk through the glass screen instead of exiting from the main entrance because the car was parked near the glass screen panels where we had sat down to eat. I stopped her from doing that and she told me that she had forgotten that she was inside Mbak Yani's body. I guessed, perhaps she was playing with me.
I have to let you know that they told me that they too have foods in their spirit world. They could even cook it at home or they could buy the foods with their money. They said that they used Indonesian currency or if they had US dollars, they could use it too. They need not have to eat in the humans' world. They even told me that in their world, they have police, military and other professions too. Inside my mind when I heard them mentioned that back then, I had believed that there was another world just like the physical world.
Natalia began to miss Mas Anton alot because there was still no news from him. I told her to contact Margarita in Jakarta to see Mas Anton. She said that there was no news yet about Mas Anton in Jakarta. She was really worried and miserable when she thought about Mas Anton in Jakarta; but Gordon and the rests had managed to make Natalia happy.
When we travelled in a car at night, many dogs would crowd around it to bark and howl, even within my own neighbourhood vacinity. Sometimes, late at night, the dogs would bark and howl in front of my home too. Sometimes while I filled up the car for petrol at Pertamina Petrol Station at night, any dogs opposite the road would bark and howl at my direction. Then later, when we had opened up a small mini-restaurant business, while Yani was riding around on her bicycle, many dogs would crowd around her too to bark and howl but they never bit her. Once she fell down from her bicycle because of this. Natalia told me that the dogs would not bark or howl at them after they had gotten used to them. They never mentioned to me about animals in their world. I wonder why?
"They say that they do not know how to come to meet Mas Robi because they do not know the knowledge of possession. I want to teach them but they say that if they come to the world of physical, they probably would not want to return home to the world of the spirit again."
