Someone who helped me

Thank you, Mr. Someone!

A few years ago, My friends and I planned a group work on one of my friend's house. His house is big, with access for internet and supplies. It also had a lot of facilities. There is only one problem: his house is located in the middle of Cimahi, and base from the map he sent to me, in the middle of a dense urban area in Cimahi. At that time, I only know the roads from my house to my school, and from my house to a supermarket.

I told my parents about this and they gave me some money for a taxi. They don;t have enough time to drive me to my friend's house. So I ordered a taxi. But neither I nor the driver has ever drive around to Cimahi, let alone its urban area. While looking at the google map, I realized that  my phone's battery is dying, with its color changed from green as leaf to red as blood. After a while, we found what seemingly looks like the place based on the map, The driver, probably a bit furious because he can't find the place, told me that the place should be right and I can drop here just fine. So I left the car (after paying, of course).

As soon as the car goes, the phone's battery ran out and cannot be turned on. I remembered the map said that the house is located on the street in front of me. But that street in front of me is a small alley, near a rice field. That didn't make sense. I knew that my friend's father is a director at Pertamina and his mother is a banker, and adding the facts he proclaimed at his house, none of which match my logic. And honestly, I was pretty scared to go into that dark space.

After a lot of walking in a circle, I stopped a a mini market. Luckily I brought my phone charger, before this  I wasn't able to charge it since I was going around in the asphalt of the streets. I was able to charge my phone and get a pinch of information. He said that his house has a black fence in the end of the street, at JL. Cangkuang. The name doesn't sound royal to me , so I braved myself and went to the alley.

There are no black-fenced house in the end of the street nor the end of the street next to the black-fenced house, although both are pretty common, there are no combination between black fence and street's end. There are no Jl. Cangkuang either. In fact, there are no named street on the alley complex.

Seeing me walking in circle for the second, third, fourth time, a man called me. "Hey, what are you looking for" I said the description of my friend's house. "Huh, there are no such place here, but your friend might live in that rich hedonist bourgeois community in that high fenced complex" Wait, after all of this time, there are a rich-people-only housing complex with barbed wire nearby? how did I don't notice it? I asked the man if he can show me the way, and he said yes.

So finally, I passed the complex's security guard with his scary eyes,and found Jl. Cangkuang. Turns out, the map my friend gave me was completely false and absurd. Looking back, that man might has saved me from running out of money, getting depressed, or even from the chance of thiefing or robbery. So thank you, Mr. someone-there!
