Making History -II





Nak kemana eh?? Tak nampak pula org yg dlm group yg boleh kami join. So keep on walking, along J. Imbi, belok tepi jln IPKL , terus..., then tau2 nampak Hentian Puduraya depan mata. Nampak orang ramai berjln w/pun tak perasan macam dalam kumpulan. Ada juga perasan a police van full of people.... ada org dah kena tangkap?? Tak pasti. Sekejap we took a rest at a bus stop. Jumpa a guy from BP (kenal Hubby) dia pun nak join org lain w/pun tak tau kat mana. Later we realise at the opposite road..quite far from us ,heading to the junction near to Menara Maybank: lot of people , really lots of people, walking together, chanting a voice: "Hidup2! Hidup Bersih! "etc.
This is IT! We really stumbled upon them. Inilah yang kami plan nak join. BERSIH rally and it happened in front of our eyes. What and how to say it: excitement, happy, satisfaction, tak tau lah. We came closer , joining them, chanting together..and it really lots of people not only one race but all there. Mat salleh pun ada! People taking pictures, carrying yellow ballons, standing & walking on the street,or just stood on & beside the buildings, under the trees: all full! We did notice FRU truck at the far end... but everything seem so smooth, people enjoying themselves, a few saying something using the speaker (the leaders, i suppose). Some distributing Bersih stickers, we got some: Iqah sticked one on her shoulder, Hubby made it stuck on his cap. We kept shooting pictures. Then, a siren heard and the water canon was fired, the tear gas being shot..... what then, people began to run , running for life! Then we stopped, as the situation began to cool, we just stood at the kaki lima. Noticed Dr Hatta Ramli making a short say following by applauses, laungan takbir, chanting Hidup Bersih. Two heli kept roaming on our heads, making countless rounds...then it began to rain. hujan rahmat, membersih yang kotor. Then the tear gas was fired again and the smell made us teary, burned throat and all not well. Since we were close to a hospital, many of us climbed the small hill and ran to the hospital compound. It rained heavily now, one guard allowed us to enter the hospital and few of us sat on the floor waiting the situation to become calm again.
