Members ponder Doel's love life

JAKARTA (JP): Everybody knows who will be Indonesia's next president and vice president, so Assembly members have another question on their minds: Will Doel choose Sarah or Zaenab?

Golkar faction member Rano Karno happens to be the star of the famous television series Si Doel Anak Sekolahan (Doel Goes to School). Doel is a young man from a traditional Jakartan family who rises above hardship, obtains higher education and gets to choose between two beautiful girls, Sarah and Zaenab.

The series has been running for about four years and Doel still cannot make up his mind.

These days Rano has to contend with question from many, particularly female, Assembly members.

"Please tell me who you will choose. You will choose Sarah, won't you," said Danny Soedarsono, also of Golkar, who admitted being a fan of Cornelia Agatha -- the actress who plays Sarah.

"Of course he won't. He will eventually pick Zaenab," Suudiyah Mansyur, who is an admirer of model Maudy Koesnaedy who plays Zaenab, said.

"No, he won't. Want to bet?" Danny replied.

"Doel will pick the girl of his dreams without hurting the feelings of the other girl," Rano intervened. "But the answer won't be until the next episode." (swe)
