Your Idol is not a perfect person!

Written by : Moreno Soeprapto

I remembered when I met one of Indonesian actresses, it was on Sunday when I met my idol in one of traditional markets in Jakarta. Eventhough it is a traditional market, it is really famous because you can find everything there. When my family and I were busy picking up some groceries, I saw there was a crowd. And then I realized that they were looking at some actresses and actors. My family and I were curious to find out more. We decided to get close then we saw the actresses and actors were acting for a film. And one thing that made me more curious was that I saw my favorite actress acting. Oh my God! She was really beautiful and her skin was so clean and bright. She looked so different from the one I had seen on TV or movies. While I was looking at her acting for a role, my mother asked me to leave because we needed to continue shopping.
My family called me ‘country bumpkin’ or wong ndeso. But I did’t care and kept watching her until my mother grabbed my hand and dragged me out of there. At that time I obeyed my mother eventhough inside my heart I was so angry to my family because I thought it was the best time for me that I could see my idol. I didn’t know when I could see her again. That was why I was a bit angry with them. Oh my idol I liked you so much, I could only say that in my heart. Then we continued shopping. After getting all the things that we needed we went back home. On the way home my mind was still left in the traditional market and I wanted to go out from the car and went back to see my idol, but it was impossible to do.
It didn’t take much time we arrived at home, directly I went to my bedroom and looked for my diary, then I wrote everything that I got this day specially when I met my idol, I thought I couldn’t ever forget that moment. I also had many photos of her. But not too long after I saw her in the traditional market, I watched her in infotainment. I didn’t believe that the fact she was not as good as I thought. She had a big problem, she was sent to a jail with her friends because she got caught consuming drugs! After I knew her bad attitude I was really mad. I didn’t know what I had to do. But deep in my heart, I realized that maybe it was one of the obstacles in our life, which it may also could happen to every one included me. I thought the positive thing from her case may be it would make her and I to be more careful in facing our life in the future.
