199 | Keeping Promise

THE next day I woke up in a hotel room with Amelia still sleeping next to me. This Chinese emperor's daughter woke up when I stood. She asked what time. I answered at eight in the morning.The two of us then took turns cleaning ourselves and went together to the CLOFUS campus. Actually, I wanted to ask Amelia if Billy would not look for her.But I did not want to do that because I realized that this move would make Amelia realize that I knew something. I was worried that Amelia won't be close to me anymore.Arriving at the Faculty of Letters, Amelia and I separated. I went to English class, while Amelia went to Chinese Literature class.In the middle of my walk towards class, a female voice called out to me. When I turned, apparently, the voice came from Aisha. Actually, I was reluctant to meet Aisha.Considering Aisha did not fully tell me what she was doing on Madura Island actually. Aisha told me that she and her family accepted the invitation o

"THEN, when are you going to bring the money to Jakarta?" asked Aisha."Tomorrow," I said, "if the money is ready now.""Okay," said Aisha, "I'm going to the bank now to get it."Already said that, but Aisha didn't leave. She seemed to be hesitating about something. But I knew."Do you want me to take you to the bank?" I asked."Do you?" asked Aisha back."Depends on whether Ahmed will be angry or not?" I quipped."This matter only you and I who know, Lang," Aisha said, "and it's best not to involve Ahmed in this."I should have protested. Why should I even bother? It should be Ahmed as Aisha's fiancé who has to sacrifice, not me. But like I said before, I already made a promise to Aisha. But at least, I' would whine a little."Yeah," I said, "let me, the nobody, get into trouble.""Lang," Aisha said as if she knew what was on my mind, "are you willing to help me?""Of course not," I said honestly, "

201 | Keeping Promise 3

AFTER receiving the money from Aisha, I immediately booked a flight ticket to Jakarta for two people. Since I didn't know where the mob boss was, I asked Malique to take me to you.Previously, Malique had told the mafia boss who hired him that there was a representative from the Rasheed family who wanted to pay off the debt. The mafia boss agreed and invited representatives of the Rasheed family to come to Jakarta. Of course, the representative of the Rasheed family in question was me.When I contacted the airline to book tickets, all flights to Jakarta for the next day were fully booked. I then told Aisha, Zidan's debt repayment must be postponed until the day after tomorrow, according to the next flight schedule.Aisha looked uneasy knowing that. Then she asked me, could I fly this afternoon?“Sorry, Lang,” said Aisha, “I know I asked for a lot of help. But, can you fly today? I'm afraid that the longer this matter is left unresolved,

This bar has a classic feel with various Chinese-style decorative motifs.Malique then said something to one of the Javanese bodyguards who was on guard. The bodyguard nodded then led us down the stairs to the basement.We were then led into the room. There was already an old Chinese man with a military haircut. Half of his face has burned.I knew him."Langley!" greeted the old Chinese man to me."Uncle Troy," I replied kindly.Uncle Troy then hugged me warmly. I accept it as an honor. His demeanor was not the same as the first time we met.

203 | Lovebird from the South 2

BEFORE I left, I asked Uncle Troy what he had to do with setting up Hendryx until the superstar bassist was caught by the police. As a result, the village-owned enterprise founded by Hendryx was threatened with bankruptcy. That way, Saltyville no longer had the legality of customs.And now, the process of changing the status of community land to state land would be more easily realized. If that's the case, the historic Saltyville Village for my grandfather Bradley, George, Alex Limantoro, Uncle Brody, and Uncle Troy would be evicted."What's your business with Hendryx? Didn't Alex ask you to thwart any attempt to evict Saltyville?" I asked."I really have no business with Hendryx," said Uncle Troy, "and this is all just business, Langley. I can't tell you everything. But you don't have to worry."I was nodded in understanding.After giving Troy the money from Aisha, Malique and I said our goodbyes to this classic Chinese bar. Troy let us go safely

After talking to Aisha, I texted Kacey. I told her that I was in Jakarta. So, I asked Kacey if I could meet her tonight. You see, tomorrow I have to go back to Surabaya."Can we meet tonight?" I asked via chat message."Sorry, I can't," said Kacey, "I'm on Thousand Islands right now."Thousand Islands were separate islands that are still included in the administrative area of ​​​​the city of Jakarta. From and to Thousand Islands must use sea transportation modes, such as ships. And Thousand Islands were islands for the rich on vacation.There, everything was luxurious, from food to recreation. And I was sure the ship that the Kacey family was on was not an ordinary ferry but a cruise ship.I didn't have to ask myself to know what the Kaceys were doing there. To be sure, they were having fun like the rich."I understand," I replied."What are you doing in Jakarta?" Kacey asked.“Helping a friend solve a problem,” I r

BACK in Surabaya the next day, I was still uneasy in my room. I was still thinking about all the related incidents, but I did not understand. Lastly, Malique said that the two bodies found on Saltyville Beach were last seen by his men while at Grisee.Meanwhile, based on information from Gerald – the head of the Saltycoast Police – the two bodies were the subordinates of Surabaya mafia boss Brody, my uncle. So, the two people who threw Molotov cocktails at my house were Uncle Brody's men who were last seen with the Indonesia Muslim Defender (IMD) in Grisee.What did this all mean?Did Uncle Brody intend to harm my family?

206 | An Arab Youth

AT night, I still could not calm down thinking about everything. An act of terror, mafia bosses, the eviction of Saltyville, and the four CLOFUS nymphs plus one Lovebird from the South. I thought I should freshen up with a hangover.Yes, that's how I forget the problem, for a moment.I then contacted Mr. P is he willing to accompany me to Bacchanalia. Mr. P is agreed as long as all costs are covered. I told him it was all up to me. And he immediately agreed, but suddenly hesitated."But instead of going to Bacchanalia, wouldn't it be better to ...," said Mr. P didn't finish because I cut it."No place better than Bacchanalia," I cut him off, "get ready, I'll take Matt too.""All right, Bro!" exclaimed Mr. P.Actually, I could have invited the LGBT Gang. But I guess they were still engrossed in the excitement of coming to the United States. So, I did not want to disturb the joy.Just as I got out of the garage, my cell phone rang an in

207 | The Youngest Prince

“ARE you from the Rasheed family?” asked Mr. P to Zidan, “Sorry, I only know a few Arabs, and the Rasheed family is the most famous. And of course, the Floyd family.""Yes, I am Rasheed's youngest child," replied Zidan."So you are Aisha's brother?" Matt asked."Yes, that's right," said Zidan, "Aisha is my older sister.""Oh yes," I said, trying to stir things up, "congratulations on your sister's engagement with the son of the Regent of Madura."Zidan then laughed out loud, while Mr. P, Matt, Liam, and I just stared."Is not that true?" Liam asked."No, no," said Zidane, "it's not like that. You've come to the wrong conclusions like so many others."I was getting curious."Wrong how?" Mr. P, "Didn't the two families met in Madura? Wasn't that an engagement?"Zidane replied calmly."Actually, there is no engagement in Islam," he replied, "the meeting of the two families in Madura was taaru

208 | Party Over

Zidan didn't look like what I imagined. He remained calm as he recounted his experience. Zidan was far from the type of spoiled child who always asks to be obeyed whatever he wants. Zidan in front of me was quite mature, even more than Mr. P. He was able to control his emotions even though he tells of an unpleasant experience."So that's why you went to Egypt?" Matt asked innocently.Zidan was actually surprised to be asked like that. But he managed to hide his surprise with a casual answer."Yeah, something like that," Zidan replied and then laughed with Liam.I felt something strange with Zidan's laughter. Even so, Zidan's departure to Egypt makes perfect sense. He was in debt to a mafia boss. Then he dared to return to Surabaya. Because of that he was kidnapped and forced to frame Hendryx.But then he was debt-free. His sister, Aisha, paid for it. And I brought the money. So I thought, does Zidane know all that? Of course not.Since Zidan
