“SMP Merdeka? There is no SMP
                 Merdeka here.”

                 “This is Banjarmasin, isn’t it?”
                 “Yes. This is Banjarmasin but there
                 is no SMP Merdeka here.”

                 “Is  that  new  newspaper? May      I
                 borrow it? What date is it today?”
                 asked Monita.

                 “Today is the irst of May 1990.”
                 “No. I must be dreaming,” Monita
                 read  the  date  in the  newspaper.
                 Monita then read the headline in
                 the newspaper.

                 The  title  was  “A  Professor  from
                 Banjarmasin Discovered       A  Time
                 Travel Machine”.

                                                      “Where can I buy this newspaper?”

                                                      “You can have it. I have read all the
                                                      news.”
                                                      “Thank you.”

                                                      In the  newspaper, Monita saw      a
                                                      picture of a car that looked exactly
                                                      like  what  she  was  riding. Next
                                                      to the car, there was a picture of
                                                      a professor. His   name   was  Prof.
                                                      Mahmud.     He  was  a  lecturer  in
                                                      Science   State   University.   The
                                                      newspaper    said  that  he  was  an
                                                      expert in electrical engineering. “I
                                                      must see this man,” said Monita to
                                                      herself. “Sir, how do I get to Science
                                                      State University?”

                                                      “Just go straight down this street,
                                                      turn left. The   university    is  on
