One morning, I was on my bike to the school.
When I reached the T-junction, I was very shocked knowing that the wooden
bridge fell down. Just a couple of days ago the same bridge stood proudly over
the small sturdy road. After school, I used to stop over the T-junction and
walked to the bridge. I spent some times enjoying the cold wind that mildly
blew my face. I usually saw an old woman feeding the birds under the big bars
of the bridge. Then, I was worried, “What if she was asleep when the bridge
fell down?”
I felt a strong desire to find her. I got off
my bike and rushed to the broken bridge. I crawled among the wooded bars. I
focused my eyes and my ears to find old woman. After some minutes, I heard a
faint cooing noise somewhere in the darkness. When I got closer, I knew it was
the sound of birds that the old woman usually fed. They looked swollen
and their eyes betrayed a look of death. “You poor thing, look at you!” I
exclaimed. They drove me to reach a spot as soon as possible.
I had to be very careful because the wooden
piles possibly buried me. Then, I was shocked. In the small hole, I saw the old
woman was lying still, dead. She was surrounded by the birds. Then, I fell onto
my knees beside her, trying to hold the tears back. The sorrowful cries of the
birds didn’t make it any easier. I buried my face in my face and cried.

Dr. Mohammad Hatta was born in Bukittinggi on

He left Bukittinggi to study in Batavia. Then
he went to the Netherlands. He studied economics and gained a doctorate degree

his activities, he was arrested.
In 1923 Hatta returned to Indonesia. He
joined a political organization called “Pendidikan Nasional Indonesia”. One of
its goals was to develop political awareness among the Indonesian people. His
activities again led to his arrest. The colonial government exiled him to Boven
Digul, and later to Banda Naira. Shortly before the Japanese invasion. He was
brought back to Java.
When the Japanese surrendered in August 1945,
Soekarno and hatta proclaimed Indonesia’s Independence. Hatta became the first
