Bus trip

Drama is a show played by several people to produce a unique story. Everyone in it has their respective roles. But one thing for sure, whatever the genre of drama, there are always protagonist and antagonist figures.

The protagonist is a character who always steals attention because he is the main character in an event. Meanwhile the antagonist has his own way of seducing the audience to like him. The two character traits are always contradictory, the story will end soon if the two traits are juxtaposed.

Stories which short seem unsatisfactory, while stories that are too long like old school soap operas from Indonesia "Tersanjung" looked boring. Especially if it's a drama genre, the story must be balanced. Drama is a genre of entertainment that is very much in demand by people.

But did you know that drama doesn't just happen in entertainment, in fact our lives are also experiencing the drama. Like a song written by Indonesian musician Ahmad Albar entitled "Panggung Sandiwara", everyone has a role to play. What's your role? 

Last week, I left Cilegon for Subang, my hometown. On the way using the bus, I witnessed so many dramas that were presented. But for the most part, the acting they performed made my head dizzy and sleepy. Inwardly grimacing, when did I arrive?

At that time, the bus seemed empty of passengers. The driver and conductor cursing and passengers heard behind him. They lamented that the day did not support his earnings.

I also actually wanted to scream in annoyance when the street singer with the face of a thug sang a discordant song in the middle of the passenger seats. "Sir, you are not the only one who is suffering!"

Even so, buskers on bus trips sometimes become protagonists where passengers love their melodious singing. At that moment, the audience will be amazed and will not hesitate to give his extraordinary gift.
