2024-10-29 19:42:56ON my first day of college after the Rock in Rio concert in Brazil, I didn't meet Amelia, Julia, and Aisha. Where are they? Kacey herself was in Jakarta with her parents to attend a family business event.
The absence of the three of them made me unenthusiastic about college, so I decided to go home.
Certajava is still silent even though several types of animals have been awakened by the sign of the coming of the morning. The goats began to fidget in their cages. The crowing of the roosters was heard one by one, more and more often.
The brush bird scurried from its hiding place. He was ready to take off when he saw the first insect passing in his line of sight. From its nest in the palm tree came out a squirrel because it smelled the opposite sex. They chase. The branches swayed.
Drops of dew fell in unison. A caterpillar passed over a banana tree. Just above the leaf that was still budding, the crawling beast suddenly stopped its speed. The light body jus

In the past, my mother said, Mary Sue or my grandmother had told wide-eyed stories of what she had seen happen to Certajava one night in 1965."They came in carts pulled by cows," my mother imitated her mother."Their hands were tied with rope. They were then shot in the back by the soldiers and kicked them into the hole."He pointed to the ground that was now covered with leaves. Every now and then my mother looked around, looking unsettled.This is a story my mother remembers as well as if it happened yesterday, but she's never had the courage to reveal it to me before.“I am so proud that I can finally tell the truth. I'm not afraid now," my mother said.The President had indeed ordered an investigation into what happened following the 1965-1966 Incident. A number of senior ministers in his cabinet also openly met with victims and former political prisoners. There was talk about efforts to find and excavate mass graves for victims o

THE holder of the War Authority/KMKB Surabaya has signaled and asked for public vigilance. Surabaya against the existence of groups who intentionally mess up and twist the situation, against the craftiness of groups that deliberately cover the purposes of their office, was reported by the newspaper that day.Sneak action on November 8 against foreign representatives (meaning here the United States Consulate building, which was stormed by demonstrators to express their feelings related to the Cuban crisis), cutting of 28 telephone lines behind the governor's house on November 12, demonstration of price reductions clothing and food on November 15, which was called to the Governor of East Java, all of which proves who stirred up the chaos.The holder of the War Authority/KMKB Surabaya calls for:"TO BE AWARE OF PEOPLE WHO SEEK REVOLUTIONARY BUT ACTUALLY ANTI-REVOLUTIONARY, BEWARE OF PEOPLE WHO CREATE THE LOUDEST MANIPOL BUT ACTUALLY ANTI MANIPOL".Although i

And the child was walking in long straight steps towards the shade of the bamboo grove where he was born a citizen of life. The closer to Certajva's clump, my steps get faster. Then suddenly he was caught in a strange silence. I stopped and looked ahead. Where is Sakum's house which is usually seen from the edge of the embankment? Also, where is the gloss of the tin roof of Kartareja's house?I stepped again. But the silence is even more terrifying. There were no children running around in the yard and their voices were not heard. Oh! And I stood frozen, his forehead furrowed. He struggled to read and believe in the reality that lay before him. His clan's houses have been turned into small huts, like a rice field croak. Oh, Certajva, why do you appear? What misfortune has befallen you while I was overseas?The moment my shoulders dropped, a definite answer could explain everything. His intuition works so quickly in connecting the contemporary factors with all their cha

"Hey, Amelia," I called."Yes," he replied."Come with me to see Hendryx," I said."Come on," Amelia agreed.The East Java Regional Police Headquarters stood on Ahmed Jonah Street. It was some distance across from the Emerald Building, where Amelia's cousin held a wedding reception last weekend.Outside the long and large fence of the headquarters, hundreds of people were holding a peaceful demonstration. They unfurled cardboard and long cloths that read support to keep their spirits up to Hendryx, the Boumerank bassist.Yes, they were Boomerangers - The Boomerank fanatical fans. The people seemed to be singing one of the Boumerank songs.When we were about to enter, we stopped in front of the headquarters security post. Many police personnel guarded that security post. We expressed our intention while showing the Surabaya artist membership card. They then let us in.When I looked at the car mirror, the black family car was jus

As I thought, the information from Sandra and Amelia through Vincent was apparently connected. There was no mistake. Aisyah's younger brother, who was said to have just come from Egypt, was the same young man arrested along with Hendryx and his friends. However, was it true that Zidan Al Rasheed's secretly being freed? I was sure something like this will go unanswered in a press conference.I stood thinking alone while Amelia and Hendryx discussed something I could not hear from where I was standing. From the window of this visiting room, I could see"Hendryx," I called out to him."Have you ever thought that you were being framed?" I asked seriously."What are you talking about?" said Hendryx."It makes sense," I said, "it was very odd if someone has just arrived from abroad, intended to pay off a debt in cash, and then returned to abroad."I made my point really well. But the thin, curly, shabby man just smiled as he put out his ciga

"Hey, Lang!" Amelia exclaimed, "you're daydreaming.""Yes, I'm sorry. I remember something when Hendyx said he was framed,” I said.“So, what Vincent said is true. There's the son of a prominent person involved," Amelia replied."That's it," I said, "and now I want to see a reporter. He seems to have some information.”"Come on, I'm coming," Amelia volunteered.“Come on,” I said, texting Ethan – the Indonesian Herald journalist.Ethan agreed and asked us to meet him at the CLOFUS Indie Mart. We rushed there.At Indie Mart Clofus, Amelia and I met Ethan.“Are you going to expose I am the bassist of Boumeran now?” I asked casually.Ethan said that he wasn't really interested in revealing Che was Langley.

"Amelia," I called, staring at her two round eyes."Yes," replied Amelia, looking back at me as if she knew something serious was coming out of my mouth.I took a breath for a moment."I'm sorry for my bad behavior to you all this time. I'm sorry, I've ignored you," I began my explanation.I explained to Amelia that I did not really mean to deliberately ignore her. I was confused because Hendryx, my bass mentor I idolized, fell into the abyss of drugs."I'm sorry if you heard bad things about me," I apologized again.Amelia just listened silently. Her gaze then fell to the table. She then turned her head towards the Golden River, which shimmering in the city lights and stars. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.“You remind me of this old story that I always remember," responded Amelia, starting her story."Long ago, when I was in elementary school, there was this boy. He's so naughty. Few want to be friends with hi

Knowing that I again urged my mother to talk. However, Lidia did not budge. Then, I said goodbye and would find out for myself and continue Bradley's struggle. Lidia strictly forbade my intention. But I was determined.Based on clues from Brad's book and Zoey's notes, I and Amelia, with Vincent's help, discover the mode of money laundering by the Rasheed and Schielhort families. Bribes to and from Jamaal, Syahnaz, Fatima, and Malloch, were deposited through the CLIF Foundation and Islamic boarding schools and houses of worship as a form of charity.Besides, some were used to establish Islamic boarding schools in Jombang and Madura. This was done by asking one of the pesantren students to be used on his behalf. That way, the Rasheed and Torstein families were not legally touched. An example was Bowie.While tracing this dirty practice, I continued to experience terror.Exploring further to Jakarta, I also discovered a flow of money to state officials. The

The next day, I asked my mother, Lidia, about Saltyville in more detail. The village elders refused to talk about it unless Lidia had already told me. And how did Bradley relate to all of this? But Lidia refused to talk about Bradley and Saltyville.I insisted that I read old documents at the Dr. Sue Thompson Regional Hospital. The document stated that there was the name of Lidia Tanoto, who gave birth to twins without a father. Lidia didn't budge.I was not broken. Then, I rushed to the warehouse of my house. I unpacked old chests and suitcases that were there. Every old document I read to find what I looking for. But, actually, I didn't know what I was looking for.
