The drizzle seemed endless.
The speck is still the same, making every corner of the city wet by its plural.
The dark region of Batavia.
Rainwater fell on the precarious building that covered the place, then seeped into the walls filled with blackish green moss and flowed into a narrow sewer.
The man who had just entered this area, looks already in a room that will be minimal lighting.
Inside the room was a long table at the waist of an adult leaning against the wall . On it, in addition to the two candles that are the source of illumination, there is also a tray containing offerings . A seven-piece flower and some spices surround the smoke-pounding ashtray. The distinctive aroma of frankincense fills this whole stuffy space .
No one will guess. If the man with charismatic face and his authoritative character is the Duke of Arthaprawirya .
The Duke took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He then stepped into the innermost part, where there was a hidden room.
Four men with stout skin, welcoming and saluting.
They then gave way to the employer to continue the step.
Until the way of the Duke stopped in front of the rows of iron bars that were stuck vertically forming a bulkhead as a separation of the room.
It was as if someone was inside that dark, narrow space.
'' How ? Did he want to talk, asked the Duke to the subordinates whom he assigned to guard and interrogate the man whose hands were tied together and hung up.
'' Sorry, Duke Kanjeng.
He is still silent and does not want to talk, replied one who has the most long hair. Raman his name .
' Tap. tap. tap ' the Duke's step closer. Then stop right in front of the iron bars.
He looked carefully at the man who was drowning with his head bowed .
He did not expect, if the person he had paid to do a job, in fact was someone in disguise. I don't know what the purpose is. But he is certainly no ordinary man. Or maybe not human.
During his interrogation, this man had received a lot of painful physical torment. But he shuddered and did not complain of pain at all.
It doesn't make sense, does it ?
Why, how can one survive being beaten relentlessly ? Even the injuries from the blows received were like nothing. The endless trail of punches that he could get quickly disappeared, almost imprintless.
Bizarrely. But for those who believe and are involved in the black world, this is not surprising.
'' Who are you really ? '' asked the Duke in a flat voice.
Hearing the Duke's voice, the man straightened his head. He is holding a grin.
If usually a handsome face that is sweetened with one dimple on his right cheek looks dazzling. But the impression that is seen at this time is sangar.
'' I should have asked you, O Duke.
Who are you and why would a high-ranking person in Batavia be involved in this world of darkness ? '' Dimas asked, replying to the Duke's gaze in the same way.
So close as if wanting to dive into it. He was curious and very curious to know the reason why this Indigenous leader was in an area thick with the dark side .
'' Hey, you !
How dare you call Kanjeng the Duke that way, Huh ?!
Are you tired of living ? ! " the voice came from Raman. The head of the guard who was assigned to guard and secure this hideout.
" Stop, Raman . There's no point in threatening him.
Because even if you kill 'em, he's not necessarily dead "
The Duke then approached until there was almost no distance from the iron bars.
'' I don't have to answer you because I'm sure you know who I am ?" he said he was looking at Dimas.
Shut up for a moment until the sound of slow footsteps came closer.
Instantly all eyes were on the arrival of a middle-aged woman with such a shabby appearance.
It goes very slowly.
His legs are limping next to. And had to use a stick to help him step.
" The servant saluted the Duke Kanjeng "the woman bowed as her steps stopped right in front of the Duke.
" Where have you been, Nyi Geno ? " The Duke highlighted it .
The woman called Nyi Geno lowered her head while apologizing.
'' Servant went to see servant brother Kanjeng ''
'' Your brother ? ''
Nyi Geno nodded then downed his head and looked at Dimas.
'' It's really confusing.
How could this man have the same aura and aroma as Nyi Sukma ''
Be quiet for a while. Those who heard Nyi Geno's words just now seemed dissatisfied because it was unclear what he meant.
'' Hey, you're a young man. Who exactly are you and what is your purpose in approaching Mayang ?
I'm sure you must have a relationship with Nyi Sukma.. ? ''
Dimas smiled cynically.
Who are you yourself ? And what is your relationship with Nyi Sukma ?
Are you allied with him ? '' Dimas chose not to answer, and instead asked.
'' You insolent basic !
How dare ?! Don't you know if you're dealing with this mastery of Batavia, HAH ! "
" The ruler of Batavia ? Who do you mean by ruler ?
The Duke ?
Did you forget that the land of JawaDwipa has long been controlled by foreign nations ?
We are in an era of occupation.
He did indeed lead the Natives in this city. But he's not a ruler. Even his position was nothing more than a Company errand boy "
Nyi Geno looked furious. He came forward and was about to open the door and enter.He wanted to make calculations and teach this brash young man a lesson. However, the Duke held him back.
" Stop useless actions.
You also already know if it's useless we threaten or hurt him.
He's no ordinary man.
He has unusual power. He could even recuperate quickly and was immune to physical attacks said the Duke with a gaze directed at Dimas .
Nyi Geno according . He took a step back and turned around.
'' Open the door '' the Duke's order.
Raman goes ahead and opens the door .
'' Let him out by himself ''Prevent the Duke when Raman will enter.
'' But, kanjeng - - Raman had not yet passed on his words, the sound of Dimas's hand-binding chain was heard falling .
All eyes stared in disbelief. How could such a strong chain possibly break off by itself.
It was fitting that the Duke ordered Dimas to bind with a chain. Not with the usual rope. Because this man can indeed do things beyond the limits of normal human abilities.
Dimas straightens the body. Black-dust and red-blood spots were visible around his torn face and clothes.
He then walked out of the holding room with iron bars.
At that instant. Unusual Eve burst into the room and filled the room. Make a rome feather they all stand up . Susana suddenly turned gripping. Two torches were stuck in the wall, and the source of the illumination suddenly dimmed the flames.
Raman and three of his men, including Nyi Geno, shuddered.
Horrible Eve was so obvious when Dimas stopped stepping and faced the Duke.
But not to the Duke. He looks calm. Like he could already guess this situation and was prepared to face it.
'' You are really unexpected.
You could just break away and get out of here.
And I'm also sure, it's not hard for you to kill my men ''
Dimas took a deep breath and said. '' You are right. I did pretend to be helpless waiting for you to come .
There are things I need to know and I'm sure only you can explain them to me ''
The two men face each other.
'' You want to know who I am ? '' asked Dimas with the immobile bead. Not even his petals blinked.
'' ... '' the Duke did not answer because he knew there would be a next sentence . So he chose to wait for Dimas to continue his speech.
'' I'll tell you who I am.
But before that, tell me first.
What is your relationship with Nyi Sukma.
And why can the soul of Nyi Sukma dwell in the body of Mayang ?
Because it should be, what can be a container for the soul of Nyi Sukma is only a noble virgin ''
'' So you can tell, if in Mayang's body there is another soul residing in it ?
Now I no longer wonder why you have an aura like Nyi Sukma.
You even know a lot about Nyi Sukma.
Well, it seems I have no choice either.
As you wish.
I'll say what our relationship is with Nyi Sukma . And why the soul of Nyi Sukma can be in the body of Mayang.
Or rather. We will tell you how we sealed Nyi Sukma's soul into the girl's body... ''
