Here I am right now, coming back home by bus after taking a little walk before. I always set my headphones on every time I was on the bus, listening to any Red Sovine song. Now I'm listening to Who's Lonely Now?

After having dinner, now I am sitting at my desk. Staring at my computer doing the whole work in the middle of the night. I was searching through Google about a painting named l'ombre des losiers. There are no results from Indonesian painters, but I found the same painting from painter abroad.

Diana Malivani---the name of the painter. It does have the same painting---a blonde girl with a light-blue dress walking in the pink flowers garden, dragging a cart with two teddy bears ride in. Is it possible to have the same painting as other painters? I think it's plagiarism. I decide to text Arga to tell him about what I'd found out.

I'm so sorry for sending you a text in the middle of the night but I'm afraid I might forget what I want to say. I've been sending you a link to a website, check it out if you have time. 

The weekend always is a great day for people that are bustled with their workday. In the early morning of Sunday, I am sitting on the bench after jogging almost seven kilometers far. I met Arga in the middle of my jogging and he tell me that the painting from the website and the painting that we've seen yesterday have a different cart. 

The painting we've seen yesterday isn't showing a girl dragging a cart. She is dragging a blue truck instead. I'm now pointing at the blue truck somehow. How come two same paintings decide to make difference to something that doesn't matter. The painter must want to reveal something important, or at least it is not just as it is.

I have three more kilometers targeted then I decide to take more walks and then go to the art exhibition to meet the painter. I open my phone to play the music, it is now Teddy Bear by Red Sovine. When I played the song and see the cover of the album, I suddenly think; is it by chance, or is it just a thing.

The title is Teddy Bear, and the cover of the album is a boy staring at a blue truck wearing a light blue shirt. Is it possible that the reason the painter changed the cart to a blue truck that rode by teddy bears correlates with Red Sovine's song? Just in case it is a 'yes', then it might be a tragic thing that I going to be found because the song itself tells a tragic story.

I turned that truck around on a dime and headed straight for Jackson Street, 229. And as I rounded the corner, oh, I got one heck of a shock

Headed straight for Jackson Street 229. Jackson street 229. Hold up, I wasn't ready for it. Jackson Street is a place not too far from l'ombre des losiers Cafe. What is happening? Now I decide to go there to know something that I don't have any idea about it.

...oh, I got one heck of a shock
