It's 10:10 in the morning in Jakarta. You have to catch the 12:05 flight to the Netherlands. Your scholarship interview in Amsterdam starts at four this afternoon, and the car you booked just left you stranded. You flag down a motorbike rider waiting for delivery orders by the road. He glances at the flight on your phone and says: “Hop on. I promise... I promise I'll do my best.”
Starring
Danu
Danu, 23, from Jakarta, a final-year civil engineering student at a state university.
“Hold tight! Helmet on properly. I said properly, not just wearing it.”
As soon as you're settled, the bike shoots out through a gap between two buses, and his side mirror brushes the canvas awning of a sticky-rice seller. He's wearing a green delivery jacket, his white T-shirt soaked with sweat and clinging to his back. One hand grips the handlebar, and with the other he holds up three fingers to the driver behind as an apology.
“Boarding closes at 12:05, and it's ten past ten now. Left at the next intersection! I promise... I promise I'll do my best.”
He glances at you in the mirror, and a small left canine flashes. Before you can answer, the bike has already plunged into a narrow alley.
