10:29am - Ciliwung Canal, near Pasar Baru Market

   
Rosita heads off to the mall.

On her way she passes the canal where Hendrik, her second husband, died.

"... the canal has a guardian spirit. He fell into deep water, a victim of the spirit."

"My husband died..."

"The day my man died."

  People say that when my man died, he'd been using and had taken two blister packs of pills. Actually, that morning he was still fit. He ran off to Layang, to get things weighed. After that, he helped... his friends, who were like his brothers, cleaning glass. While they were cleaning glass, a friend asked him to go with him.

"Dan. Come on, let's take drugs," he said. "Later (he said). I'm cleaning glass." "It won't take long." They went under the bridge. He took drugs, shot up, took two blister packs of pills. He fell asleep at the edge of the canal. Apparently the canal has a guardian spirit. He fell into deep water, a victim of the spirit.

I was looking for money in Pasar Baru, outside the Pizza Hut. I was sitting there, and I was pregnant. Then suddenly a male friend, Centeng, arrived. He said, "Ros, don't go into shock, but your husband is dead." It was pretty traumatic. "It's not true!" "Yes, it is," he said. "Go and see for yourself at Pasar Baru, near the Ciliwung Canal. That's where your man died."

I stopped a bajaj (3-wheeler), and went to the place where my man had died. I saw he was no longer there, and I was taken to Police Station 712. When I told them my story, they said, "He's still alive, still alive," so that I didn't go straight into shock because I was pregnant. They told me, "He's still alive, still alive." So what can I say, I felt... joy, and also pain.

"Where is he, sir?" I asked. "I'll take you there," he said. When they'd finished interviewing me I went straight to the Cipto Hospital. I looked for him, and they said he was in the morgue.

I asked the doctor. "Why did this happen?" I asked. "Your husband died from a narcotics overdose."
