Praying for Harcus

I was very surprise yesterday when I read my high-school mailing list. We were discussing on to update all the contacts of Taruna Nusantara High school Batch6 (TN6). And in one of the subject is "TN6 which can't be contacted". And then one of my friend says that: "I hope he (First lieutenant Harcus) can be found soon". And I was like, "What !!!Why do use that sentence, because it implied that he is missing". And right after that, a lot of Email coming in to re-confirm the news, and finally when I went home yesterday, I was so surprise to hear the News in TV. It is true that one of the Indonesian Air Force Fighter Plane was missing in action. They were having a training mission in East Java, Malang (Harcus' origin). And I was shocked to hear that out of the two pilots in that plane was my former classmate, First lieutenant Harcus. He was my 3rd year dorm and classmates, his room is right in-front of my room. He has a dream to be a pilot, because his father was also a pilot who unfortunately died in a mission.
I quote this from Harcus Former roommate:
" Semoga teman kita Harcus dapat dicari keberadaannya,Dia dulu bercerita bagaimana dia ingin menjadi penerbang,Karena cita-cita dan keinginannya yang begitu besar buat negara ini,Tapi apa yang bisa negara ini berikan bagi para pemuda bangsanya?Pesawat buatan 1967 masih dioperasikan,apakah anggota2 DPR yang gajinya baru dinaikkan tau,kalo seorang ibu di negara tercinta ini kehilangan keluarganya,hanya karena negarawan2 bodoh yang berebut harta milik negara! "
( "I hope our friend Harcus could be found, He has a dream to be a pilot and to serve himself to this country. But what can this country do for its passionate young generation? A 1967 plane is still in operation, are the members of parliament who just got a raised know that a mother lost his family just because of the stupid government who wants this country wealth! ")

Now the news its spread all over, and I just read one from Kompas this morning. Now all of us from TN6 are in deep pray, hoping that our dear friend is OK in this accident and soon can be found. Our prayer is with you Harcus !!!
