The Curse of Janggala Sukma Village

The Curse of the Manggala Sukma Village: Chapter 3

That morning, Yati and Iwan started their task. Iwan watched with binoculars from the apartment. Yati will be heading to the hotel. She dressed up so beautifully to lure the guards who were there. Since the rumors of a murder at the hotel, police have been keeping the place very tight, for 24 hours. Yati did not enter the hotel area. But he walked first to a small shop, which was around the hotel. There Yati pretends to buy a pack of cigarettes, as well as a glass of black coffee. Everyone in the stall looked at him suspiciously. Yati's face really looked very foreign in that place.

"The baby's not here, huh?" Ask the guard.

The woman, who is in her 40s, tried to open a conversation with Yati. He looked pityful towards Yati, because ever since he sat in that stall, almost all eyes were on him.

"Yes Mom. I'm on vacation."

"Holiday in a place like this. There's a lot of other places that are better, aren't there?"

"I'm a village man. So, I want to know how the atmosphere is in the city."

"Oh yes." The woman replied short.

But the warung guard also looks suspicious to Yati. As a shopkeeper, she should not dress up like an office person. Yati tasted cigarettes and coffee that had been placed on the table, in front of him. Everyone became increasingly suspicious of his existence. For them, Yati is like a police officer or detective. There were two men who seemed to notice Yati in great detail. They're wearing like thugs. Their bodies are high. Their gazes were sharp. The leather jackets they wear, indicate that they are important people.

Feeling that the situation was not possible, Yati quickly paid for everything she had ordered at the stall. A moment later, Yati passed from the stall. Likewise with two men who had been watching him. Yati knew that the two men were trying to follow her. Seeing that Yati was in danger, Iwan tried to take portraits of the two men in leather jackets. From a distance, of course the picture Iwan got is not too clear. But Iwan could still recognize their faces well. After printing later, Iwan will find out who the two men who followed Yati to the front of the apartment.

Yati quickly entered her apartment. The two men no longer followed him. They were unlikely to follow Yati into the apartment, as they would definitely be intercepted by the security guards guarding there. The two men finally left the place. They look upset because they can't get what they want. With their instincts so sharp, it was certain that the two men were not random people. It could be that the two men are the police who guard around the hotel and apartment. Moreover, they were also very skilled in terms of following people from behind. They look very well trained and professional.

After arriving in the apartment room, Yati immediately packed her belongings. Iwan was confused, because they had only stayed one night in this place. While they rent this apartment room for the next 3 months. But Iwan also felt worried about the existence of two men who had followed Yati. They may be bad people, who already know their plans. Iwan also hurriedly packed up all his equipment. Not to forget, Iwan also told Yati, that he had gotten a portrait of the two men.

"I just want to print the results. After that, only the two books can find out who the two men are." Iwan told Yati.

"Why don't you help?"

"If I go down there, no one will know about them, Yati. It could be that all of our plans have been known by important parties."

"meaning?"

"The City Pen is a big deal for everyone in trouble. Many people were eager to see Pena City go bankrupt. You also know, Mr. Bandri was once considered a threat by officials, because he dismantled the corruption cases they had done."

But in the leadership of Mr. Bandri, Pena Kota became the only famous print media company, and famous everywhere. Mr. Bandri never wanted to take bribes from anyone. And Mr. Bandri also never afraid of anyone. To reveal the truth, Mr. Bandri will sacrifice everything. That is what makes Pena Kota more popular by the community. Lots of people who get into the dark business, who are disturbed by the existence of the City Pen company. And what made it difficult for them to destroy the City Pen was, not a single person knew who the owner of the City Pen was.

The only person who knows who the owner is is Mr. Bandri. Somehow a print media company can move like a group of special forces. Unlike the other print media companies, City Pen is quite secret to research. Not everyone can get into it. Mr. Bandri is also very selective in choosing people who want to work in Pena Kota. Even if the person is highly educated, not necessarily Mr. Bandri would accept it. Because City Pen is based on loyalty and honesty. Anyone can be fired, and anyone can be defended. Like Iwan and Yati.

But Mr. Bandri once told Iwan and Yati, that the City Pen is made by a group of important people, who do not like devious people. And Mr. Bandri, he can always get information. Even if the information is confidential. One example is, the largest corruption case ever committed by one of the officials. In fact, the police and other law enforcement agencies, very difficult to find evidence of corruption of the official. But Mr. Bandri could easily give that information to Iwan and Yati. As if Mr. Bandri knew the corrupt. Even Mr. Bandri can find out the same to sensitive things.

"Yes already. We'll get out of this place as soon as possible. But we have to find another way. If we cross the street in front of that hotel, they'll know we've escaped."

"Yes. You're right Yati. We're leaving now."

"Are you sure nothing's left?"

"Yes. It's all in the bag."

"Yes already. Come on!"

"Come on!"

Yati and Iwan hurriedly left the place. They also had to go down the emergency stairs, because it was very impossible for them to climb the elevator. They worry that someone will stop them later. Fortunately, their room was on the 6th floor. So it's not too far from where their car is parked. Sometimes they also cross paths with apartment officials who are checking the situation in the apartment. It was their routine, to prevent things that are not desirable. They stared in surprise at Iwan and Yati. But they also dared not ask anything. Because it would be considered rude.

After arriving in the car, Iwan immediately tancap gas. They even put their belongings carelessly, because they feel that their lives are being threatened.

"Where are we going Ti? Mr Bandri's place?"

"Don't. Let's just find another place. If necessary, we buy a new home. We'll call Mr. Bandri by public phone."

"okay."
