this dedication page moves me. in my opinion, it sums up the whole story--or message--of Bilangan Fu novel: "Untuk negeriku Indonesia yang dengan sedih kucinta"

how can you love [someone/something] sadly?

just don't know. i bet Ayu Utami is using her licensa poetica (?).

so here I am with my cup and a piece of lousy paper and i wonder:

do I love this country no matter what?
