The Curse of Janggala Sukma Village

The Curse of the Manggala Sukma Village: Chapter 1

"I really hope that you can help the police in solving the case. Because, it's a very big case. Very few people have evidence. You guys understand what I'm not talking about?" Ask Mr. Bandri.

Tri Haryati, better known as Yati. He is a newspaper reporter. He works with his best friend Iwan Suryadi. Although they only work together, but they both have helped the police in solving mysterious cases. In an investigation, of course, the police will really need the presence of journalists. However, the presence of Yati and Iwan is very much needed by almost all circles. Both have been successful in their careers.

On that day, their superior, Mr. Bandri, sent them both to a star hotel. There was a murder case of a wealthy young businessman named Bagas Mantari. Bagas was reportedly killed at the hotel, a few days ago. However, until now the news is still confusing. The police are also unusual. Which is where they should have investigated the case. To this day, there is no development. Even they seem reluctant to solve the sadistic murder case.

Somehow at first, so that this news only reached word of mouth, without any clarity. But what makes Mr. Bandri sure is, the hotel where Bagas Mantari is staying is now completely closed. No one was allowed to go there, including Yati and Iwan. So, the task given by Mr. Bandri is an unofficial task. Mr. Bandri also said that this is completely unknown to law enforcement. If the two of them were to be discovered, then the 'City Pen' would be at stake.

"If this is indeed a case that is kept secret by the police, then we can all get into trouble sir." Iwan said with a firm tone.

"That's exactly Iwan! Imagine, how the public would react if this case spread? They will be excited to find the news. And it is the newspapers of this company that will be banned by them. The cops? They won't dare to do anything, if the public finds out, we're the ones who unpacked the case." Answer Mr. Bandri.

Iwan and Yati looked at each other. Indeed, Mr. Bandri is a very reckless person in any case. That is why he is trusted by the company owner, to manage the company. In the hands of Mr. Bandri, the 'Pen City' had managed to become the largest newspaper company. Who doesn't know 'City Pen'? Everyone reads the newspapers they print every day. 'The City Pen' always provides hot and up-to-date news. For Mr. Bandri, there is no such thing as a secret. All things have gaps to be dismantled.

"Sorry Sir. This time, I had to refuse your request. Honestly, sir, this is the craziest thing we've ever done. And...."

"Hey... Yati! Yati! Yati! Look at you now. How many crazy things have you two been through together? Huh huh? And everyone knows you. Haryati Tri! And Iwan Suryadi!" Said Mr. Bandri while laughing with pride in his two students.

Mr. Bandri who has been encouraging Iwan and Yati to develop. In the past, Yati and Iwan were just ordinary employees. In fact they were never glimpsed by the owner of the company. But now, let alone the owner of the company, a small child could greet the two of them when meeting on the street. A remarkable achievement made by Yati and Iwan. And all that thanks to Mr. Bandri, who never got bored and tired of being a mentor for both of them. So that they can succeed as they are today. I have a house and a luxury car.

Yati and Iwan could only appreciate the breath of hearing Mr. Bandri's words. Want to be denied like anything, Mr. Bandri will still be the winner. He can always solve all problems. Because often do reckless actions, Iwan and Yati are often targeted by irresponsible people. But with the influence that Mr. Bandri has, Iwan and Yati can still survive until now. In fact, very rarely are there people who dare to mess with the two of them. Because the risk they bear will be very large if you have to deal with Mr. Bandri who has everything.

"Hows it? You don't doubt my opinion, do you?"

Yati also nodded, a sign that he agreed to the orders of his superiors.

"Ti! Why do you have to stay the same Mr Bandri? He's Ti's mentally ill!" Said Iwan who was upset.

While walking towards the parking lot, the two of them continued to argue. Because Iwan did not like Yati's decision at all, who did not seek her approval first.

"Women! Watch your mouth! We can get fired if anyone hears!" Replied Yati who was also equally upset, because Iwan continued to babble.

"But Ti.."

"The man! Mr. Bandri has done a great job for our lives. Luxury home. Luxury cars. Not everyone has Wan."

"Yes Ti. I-i know. I-i know. But, until when are we going to continue like this Ti? I don't want to age in this place. Look at you now. You're 27 years old. Me? 32 Years! 32 Years!"

"Want?!"

"Ti. Let's just think about something else. We're out of this company. We build the effort together. Our money is more than enough. And we don't have to be employees forever."

"Women. I've been dreaming about this all since. Become someone known to many. Who does not know us now? Everyone knows us. And whose blessing is it? Bandri Sir! He's our only parent. You remind? We used to live in an orphanage."

Iwan was no longer able to speak. As always, Iwan was always defeated by Yati's opinion, which was always true. Iwan and Yati used to live in an orphanage. The two of them never knew who their real parents were. And Mr. Bandri who has been sending them. To give them a decent life for both. In fact, it was already like their own biological parents. In the end, Iwan was forced to follow Yati. Wherever Yati goes, Iwan always wants to come along. He never wanted to part with Yati.

"Yes already. Let's just focus. I'm coming with you."

"Good! Because that's what you're supposed to do." Answer Yati.

They then boarded their own luxury car, the Mercedez-benz Series S. Cars were very popular with the rich people of the time. It's not hard for both of them to get it. With the huge wages they earn, they can buy anything they want. Including the luxury car. They both went to their homes to prepare everything they needed. Because in this task, the two of them should be able to disguise themselves as ordinary people. If they used their identity as a journalist, then they would get into big trouble.
