Strange scene at Kalibata Mall

Strange scene at Kalibata Mall

From Bisnis Indonesia

After seeing a movie at 21 Kalibata Mall on July 9 at 9 p.m., my wife and I went down to first floor to look for a public phone booth. When we found one, we noticed three young men were using the telephone together inside the booth.

The men were wearing decent clothes and looked well educated, so we were willing to wait patiently until they finished using the phone. While waiting, we noticed they were inserting a punctured coin tied to a short thin wire instead of an ordinary coin.

After they finished using the phone, 10 minutes later, they politely allowed us to use it and even offered to lend us their special coin saying we could save our small change. We refused.

After using the phone, we strolled to our car in the mall's parking lot. As we were about to get into our car, we saw that a jeep parked near us was rocking strangely. So we took a close look through the jeep's dark tinted windshield. We were shocked, in total disbelief, when we saw a young man and woman making love.

My wife wondered why the couple was not concerned about anyone, especially children, seeing them. In fact, the mall's security guard post was situated not so far from their Jeep. I was about to report the incident but I thought it would not be too nice for ethical reasons. After all, it is their right to do whatever they please. We left the mall puzzled.
