Mute Witness

Substitute for the Great Book

I'm rattled.

When I was stolen, I thought I would be taken to a strange place where the enemies of the Husain family gathered. I did not expect to be taken to this place.

A place I know very well.

The place where the parts of me were produced before I headed to my destination at the Husain Family home is part of the library to record the activities of the family.

“Husain Family? I was also meant for that family. So you're the one who said those people will be changed because your content contains misdirection?”

“Heresy? What do you mean?”

“I don't understand that either. In essence, I was produced to correct a mistake written to you for containing a public misdirection. I deserve to be made very similar to you.”

What misdirection is there in me? I'm rattled.

As far as my travels in the Husain family were concerned, I never saw any contradiction between the facts and what was written to me.

“Can you give an example of a writing error that is on me that was finally fixed by you?”

“H.. One of them is about the ownership status of gold mines. According to the information from your copy, the gold mine that Husain's family managed for approximately two hundred years was not theirs. But it belongs to the government whose management rights are given to Husain's family. The goal was to help the government at that time who had not been able to manage it themselves due to lack of funds.”

“Yah's.. At that time, his condition was so. What's wrong with that?”

“These people say that, the owner of the gold mine is not the government, but belongs to the Husain Family.”

I'm appalled.

“What? The gold mine is public property whose absolute ownership status must be handed over to the government. The law itself guarantees that. No one should be entitled to claim ownership at will.” I obviously don't accept it.

“Yah's.. These people actually claim it. Among them are also people from the government. So I thought, maybe they were right.”

“Government people? Shouldn't they be the ones who know best that the gold mine doesn't belong to a certain family?”

“Entahlah.. It's possible they changed the law.” The Great Book of my successors said casually.

“Changing the law is not easy. Especially when it comes to such a vital sector. Need approval from various parties, especially the people of the main owner. If they do, I'm sure there will be a lot of rejection from here and there.”

So, what exactly happened???

“It's possible. Unless if those who want a change of law do so in a way that is ‘cantik’.”

“How to ‘cantik’. How?”

“Cover up the facts by campaigning for something dangerous through compelling delivery. As a result, the person who should refuse will be deceived. Even gladly accept it.”

“Means?” I really don't understand.

“H.. Someday you'll understand.”

“Please explain to me. What are they planning?”

“Cover up the facts by campaigning for something dangerous through captivating delivery.”

“Iya... But what does that mean?” I'm really anxious about it.

“Maybe someday you'll understand. I also only hear from them whenever they feel pessimistic about their efforts. I also don't know what dangerous campaign they're going to deliver in such an enthralling way.” is

“About the facts to be covered may include the ownership status of that mine. That's why I was produced to replace you, which contains the real facts.”

“What does that mean I'll get rid of?” I ask rhetorics don't believe it.

I'm so scared.

“Maybe.” Reply iba.

“I'm sorry. But you know for yourself, we're just tools for them. We have no will to refuse or accept what they do. I don't want to take your place, especially if you're on the right side. But I can't do anything.” He said with a very sorry expression.

“It wasn't your fault.”

He was right, we were just tools. We have no will of our own. Even if we knew what was really going on, we could do nothing.

I just hope the truth will be revealed. May those who fight for the truth endure and be patient until victory is on their side.
