Dik, you probably have a normal life with his wife separated, you go offices and wife at home, but not with me. Gini yes ............ I want to love this new information ........... I know that the mother has cancer Ainun only 3 days before, never no signs and never any complaints out of the mother ......... "Papar BJ Habibie.

The film is taken from the work of BJ Habibie's bestseller, this film worked on by two directors, namely Faozan Rizal and Hanung Bramantyo, with actor Reza Rahardian as Habibie and Justin Bieber as Ainun Habibie.

Habibie's speech during his visit to Garuda Indonesia

Sis, you know, I have graduated from high school in 1954! "He opened the conversation with a unique style full of passion and calling all attendees with the word" Brother "and then he went on smoothly" President Sukarno, Mr. proclaimed Republic of Indonesia, the most superior orator, it actually has tremendous vision brilliant! He is the mouthpiece of the People! He knew exactly as

Engineers, Indonesia with geographical thousands of islands, requires mastery of the national minded Technology Maritime Technology and Aerospace Technology. At that time, there was no ITB and no UI. Featured high school students flocked schooled by President Soekarno abroad to study Maritime technology and aerospace technology. I was a second group among the hundreds of high school students who are specifically sent to various countries. Our education abroad was not a crash course education but the school years while working practice. From the beginning I was only interested in 'how to build commercial aircraft' for Indonesia. So in fact Mr. Suharto, President of Indonesia is second only to continue the program alone, he is not the originator of the idea of ​​the application of 'technology' in Indonesian national insightful. Then we wake up strategic companies, there is PT PAL and one of them is IPTN.

Now Dik, you all can see, it's not a plane N250 carelessly contrived! The plane was flying without experiencing 'Dutch roll' (the term for aircraft flight 'shaky') redundant, tenologi aircraft was very sophisticated and prepared for the next 30 years, it took 5 years to complete the preliminary design, the only turboprop aircraft in the world the use of technology 'Fly by Wire' even to this day. People and our country is in need of it! The plane had flown 900 hours (I forget exactly 900 or 1900 hours) and one step away from entering the FAA certification program. IPTN special build aircraft factory N250 in America and Europe to market itu.Namun countries, Indonesian people always like to be cynical and mocking yourself 'what the Indonesian people may make an airplane?

Suddenly, the President decided that IPTN closed and so did the other strategic industries.

Dik know in this world only three countries that cover strategic industry, one with Nazi Germany because of trauma, and Chinese (?) And Indonesia. Now, all the experts technology Indonesia had expelled from their own country and they are scattered in various countries, especially the aircraft factory in Bazil, Canada, America and Europe.

Hearts who is not sick to watch it all?

I said to the President, I love money $ 500 million and N250 will be the greatest aircraft beat ATR, Bombardier, Dornier, Embraer etc and we do not need to depend on any country. But the decision has been taken and the employees IPTN totaling 16 thousand have to earn a fortune in foreign countries and crazy again we are buying aircraft of their country!

Mr. Habibie sighed, Habibie continue the conversation ....

The same thing happened on the prototype twin jet aircraft engines narrow body, that I appoint as Chief Project Ilham N2130. It is not because the child Habibie, but this is indeed a special school Ilham manufacturing of aircraft, if I actually just an expert in the field of metallurgy aircraft. If only N2130 passed, we all do not have to depend on Boeing and Airbus to build a sky bridge in Indonesia.

Dik, in any industry was only one key QCD,
- Q's Quality, sister, you have to make everything of high quality and it konsisten- C Cost, Dik, press the price as low as possible in order to compete with the manufacturers of the like D Delivery, get used to all production and high quality outcomes with the most cost efficient and delivered on time! That's it!

Habibie continued explanation of QCD as follows:
If I upamakan, the Q value is 1, the C value is also 1 then D value 1 Similarly, if you add up then to 3. But how QCD is not so little brother, an organization that works in synergy so that the name of the QCD can be 300 or 3000 or even 30,000 all depends how you do it, the operation should wear heart Dik "

Suddenly, Mr. Habibie as a moment of reflection to remember something ...

Sis, I started everything from the bottom, until I was appointed as Deputy Managing Director of the leading companies in Germany and eventually became President, this is not the sudden occurrence. During the 48 years I have never been separated by Ainun Ainun my wife's mother. He follow everywhere I go with great affection and a sense of patience. Sis, you probably have a normal life with his wife separated, you go on duty and his wife at home, but not with me. Gini yes, I want to love this new information ...... I know that the mother Ainun cancer just three days before, never no signs and never any complaints out of the mother.

Mr. Habibie sighed and looked once he was very emotional and deeply wounded heart, the whole room of silence and participate in emotional pain late pack Habibie, especially since I'm unnoticed tears started welling up.

With trembling voice and a half sob pack Habibie continue ...

Sis, you know, two weeks after the mother left, one day, I wear pajamas barefoot and pacing in the living room alone while calling out the name of the mother ... Ainun .... Ainun ...... .. Ainun ........ I look for the mother in every corner of the house.

The doctor who saw me after the death of the mother believes the development of 'Habibie could die within 3 months if it continues like this ...' they say 'We (the doctor) should help Habibie.

Doctors from Germany and Indonesia gathered ago I gave 3 options;
1. First, I have to be treated, given special medications until I can continue to live independently. This means that I'm crazy and should be treated at the Mental Hospital! 2. The second option, the doctor will visit me at home, I have to consult constantly with them and I have to take special medication. Just the same, meaning that I was crazy and should be monitored continuously ... 3. The third option, I told them to write anything about her: I suppose to tell by Ainun as the mother is still alive.

I choose the third option ...

* (Of impressions television station program January 27, 2012, P.Habibie tell, there were four options, instead of 3, where the options are not mentioned above are, P.Habibie asked to talk about anything about bu Ainun to the doctor, almost the same with option 2)

Suddenly, Mr. Habibie as remembered something (we are used to listen to him must also be advised that the speaking style pack Habibie like jumping here and there and sometimes cut off because he thought process seems to be faster than the speed of speaking in conveying something) .. he continued the conversation ;

Dik, today exactly 600 days left Ainun ....... and I are exactly 597 days to pick up and return of Garuda Indonesia Ainun mother from Germany to the homeland of Indonesia.

I do not want to thank the mail ..... I wait for better days, weeks and months to find the right moment to express my heart's content. Today accompanied by my son and my nephew Ilham, Adri then I, Habibie on behalf of the entire family of Habibie thanked profusely, you, Garuda Indonesia has sent a Boeing B747-400 to pick us up in Germany and repatriate mother Ainun to ground water even buried him at the Heroes Cemetery. It is indeed a great honor for our family. Once again, I thank you for the help of Garuda Indonesia.

The whole audience was shocked and I was powerless to stem the tears again .......

After a pause several times, pack Habibie continue the conversation;

Dik, so many hearts expression to her: then some relatives suggested that all my writings recorded it, and I approve ...

The book tells about the actual fabric of the love between two human beings. There was no element of ethnicity, religion, or race. The contents of this book are very universal, with a cargo of Indonesian national culture. Now this book at the request of many people have been translated into several languages, including English, Arabic, Japanese ..... (I forget exactly, but pack Habibie call 4 or 5 foreign languages) Unfortunately this book is only sold in the bookstore (pack Habibie mention the name of the store ledger), has printed 75,000 copies and sold out. Many people who want to read this book but do not know where to buy it. Some people in areas outside the major cities in Indonesia also complained that can buy this book in their city.

Dik, origin you know, all the money from the sale of this book is not one rupiahpun to enrich or family Habibie Habibie. All the money from the sale of this book put into the account established by the Foundation and mother Ainun Habibie to sympathize disabled, one of which is the blind persons. Pity they are actually able to work comfortably if you can see.

I give 30% discount for a large number of book buyers even I add another 10% discount for them because I know, they bought a lot of books sure to resell to others.

Again, the book is the story of man's universal love of children since not have anything to become President of the Republic of Indonesia and the First Lady. It is very inspiring. "
