Harbors.

Saraswati stood on the bridge connecting the ships. The woman who was stroking her long hair was facing towards Agam's ship.

He stayed there long enough. Under the night sky with dim lighting.Samar seen his tears come out and flow on his cheeks. Saraswati. Her tears fell and fell again. He then raised one hand to his stomach, he turned back and he opened his palm . The clear water coming from his eye patch fell down and stuck in a palm filled with bloodstains.

Saraswati stunned for a moment . His current feeling was truly raging. The desire to be able to immediately meet and avenge Nyi sukma is so passionate. Because only then could he end this curse.

But on the other hand, there is the fear of loss. Even with the possibility that the curse that has been for hundreds of years to bind him, his son and Agam did not disappear even though he managed to seal the soul of Nyi Sukma.

If so, what should he do ?

Saraswati sighed. Remembering all the things he went through . He felt dirty and humiliated because he had done too many inappropriate things. Killing and many other crimes he committed.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling it with a single blow, he then straightened his head. Brazen again the gaze in the same direction. Until he decided to turn around and move on . But he looked back again until he finally left the place.

Next morning.

Time is still very early in the morning. The sun has not yet appeared, the dark still dominates. An old man was seen walking in the area that became one of the areas where the nobles of Batavia lived.

The torches that lit and installed at each gate of the house became the lights of the road.

The old man was the lackey of one of the nobles who lived in the neighborhood and was starting his daily duties. It became his daily routine. Every morning, he goes to the market to buy his employer's needs. And when he comes home later, he will use andong to bring the results of his shopping .

The man jerks. His steps came to a halt right in front of the residence of Duke Arthaprawirya. Bizarrely. He looked at wonder .The face that had been filled with wrinkled strokes was folded.

The atmosphere of the Duke's house did not look as usual. Slender.

Though usually the number one noble residence in Batavia is always bright and guarded by large body guards. But the guards who usually run errands by taking turns none of them are in sight.

With eyebrows that were about to meet, he fished out the eyes, circulating his vision while turning a direction. He ventured closer.

' crituk' the sound of the gate he pressed and turned out to be unlocked. Then, he pushed it' Kreetttttt ' .

Instantly, his heart began to beat irregularly.He realized that this was something he should not have done. Worries if caught approaching. And he will certainly be accused of committing a crime. He could have been accused of stealing for entering a house without permission and permission .

But encouraged by his astonishment and curiosity, he also ventured to continue his steps and enter.

Darkened. The grandest house in the neighborhood looks like it's uninhabited. No sign of anyone.

Curiosity is growing. He continued walking until he reached the terrace and stopped.

He stood right at the mouth of the wide open door. Faintly, the shadow of people lying on the floor made his body stiff instantly. In addition, an indistinct aroma came out, so sharp pierced his smell. Back he raised a leg .He wants to go in to see what's in there.

' Tuk' his leg kicked something that felt solid yet soft.

He looked down, his eyes wide. The guards who usually stood firmly in front of the gate of the house he was incising at this time, they all drooped with the position of the face down motionless.

'' AAAAAA''' scream accompanied by the pace of his feet that ran out.

Not long after, an uproar filled the region.

The tragedy of thirty years ago is repeated. If what happened first was a massacre committed by a company soldier .Which all the people in this house are wiped out without rest . Blood pooled and red patches splashed everywhere . Plus the smell of rancid and fishy adds to the heart-wrenching view of a heart-wrenching beauty that looks even more terrifying .

Almost the same thing is happening in the same place. All its inhabitants were found lifeless. But the difference is, no one knows who did it or what caused this unnatural death.

There was not the slightest trace of blood seen on the floor, the ground or anywhere.

All the bodies were in a pale state. There were also wounds found on visible parts of the body. But not even a speck of blood dripped.

There is one thing in common between the two tragedies that happened at the same time, in the same place and left none of these living. Namely, some are lucky and survived because they were not on the scene when the incident took place.

Fate seems to have been decisive. If the survivor was the Duke. Now Panji who is the only surviving descendant .

It did not take long, what happened and was happening to the Duke's family was known by the Company. It also reached Colonel Jhon Van Pierzoon.

Colonel Jhon van Pierzoon told the funeral to the son-in-law . The banner looked so shocked. He felt dazed because he could not just believe . Or rather, he refused to believe it.

It took a while for him to calm his mind. Until finally he decided to see and ascertain the truth himself.

Arriving at a place that had been a witness to growing and the journey of his life, his knees instantly became limp as boneless, when men - men carrying a stretcher on which looks mound covered with black cloth, and the, get out of the house.

Just stepping on his foot on the terrace, a company man approached, making him unable to continue his steps to enter the house. He was the chief and head of the Batavian government. He came to meet and offer his condolences directly to her. In addition, the slightly mushy man expressed his true intentions.

He wants all the bodies taken to the company's hospital for examination. Including the bodies of his parents. Of course after Panji saw it first. He said he would conduct an investigation to find out the cause and who did it.

Only then will all the bodies be handed back to him .

The banner could not refuse, for the decision was absolute. He has no right to deny it.

So, after seeing the bodies of both parents, with a heavy heart Panji watched his parents were taken away.

'' For a while, you and Mina should stay in my house said Colonel Jhon van Pierzoon. He placed his palm on the shoulder of the Panji by applying a little pressure. Hope the support he channeled can make the son-in-law stoic and strong face this.

Days pass. The pennant in the house of his wife's parents, always looks moody . Sad he must be feeling right now. But there are other things that make it so thoughtful and difficult to think normally.

Until now, there was no news of certainty about death and what really happened to both parents and all of them who were victims. None of the witnesses saw or heard anything suspicious that night.

It all seems to be a mystery. Even with the company who also could not find any clues.

The day passed again. That morning, the company's emissary came to bring the bodies of his parents along with other bodies that were already in such a state of concern. I don't know what they did until there were a lot of incisions and stitches in the bodies .

Unable to see any longer the condition of the corpse that had emitted a foul aroma, then at that very moment, Panji assisted by his in-laws rushed to hold a funeral.

The aca was done briefly .But without diminishing respect for those buried.

After all the bodies were buried, Panji who stood in front of two adjacent mounds of land, where his parents were buried , was approached by four men of burly stature.

They are Raman and his three men. Confidants and loyal servants of the late Duke.

'' I am Raman. We are the men of the late Kanjeng Adipati. We are here to present his will, Raman said, introducing himself. He bowed his head, saluting the son of his now deceased master.

Panji. But that doesn't mean he doesn't listen to them.

'' Say what you want to say, he said after that just shut up and listen. Until Raman is done and gone.

Panji sighed with the view of not one bit turned away from the tomb which was still in the form of soil.

The death of the father, then the rebel mission was canceled. Even those who had supported and engaged in the plan of rebellion had withdrawn. They retreated according to what the late Duke had ordered.

'' If anything happens to me before the uprising happens, then this plan must be scrapped. No one should continue 'because this is not a responsibility that can be taken suddenly ''

Panji did not understand, but he already knew everything. But why wouldn't the father leave that responsibility to him?

The day has passed.

The banner that was still mired in sadness over going to his two parents suddenly, had unconsciously ignored the existence of the wife. He seemed to forget that he was married and had someone who was secretly there and watched him.

But Mina was helpless. She did not know what to do to comfort her husband. So Mina could only remain silent while waiting for her husband to turn around and look at her like yesterday.

'' Panji, I know this is too sudden for you. I've received my letter of transfer to the south .

And in the near future, our family will move. Including Mina I'll bring along. Because it's part of my agreement with your late father.

I did what your late father wanted. And so did your late father. He helped me get my revenge.

So, now. There is no reason to continue your marriage.

I hope you can rise soon to reimagine your life and your future.

And also, you can assume Mina was never in your life.

Our relationship is quite up here too ''

Panji. His heart was like it was torn. Be ill. Not yet finished lamenting the departure of his parents, now he has to be faced with a reality that is no less bitter.

Her marriage and Mina will be over soon.

Panji is silent. He only realized that for a few days he had ignored and forgotten the woman who began to fill the emptiness of his heart .

Panji. His chest rumbled furiously. He can't. He doesn't want to lose anyone anymore. After Mayang, her parents, and now Mina will go .

No. gabe. The banner clenched both of his hands tightly. He convinced himself that he could not be too late in grief. He won't reap the regret of letting Mina go, leaving her alone.
