THE NOURA VAN KEMMERS

Plans

The earthworks are completed. Although still beset by fear and anxiety, Johans Alois finally left the location of the edge of Kali Pesanggrahan. Throughout the fifth trip Centeng continued to convince him that everything would be safe. If Kali Pesanggrahan is a quiet location that is rarely visited by residents and that no one will find the location of the dump to the eight bodies of the Van Kemmers family, and all will go well. They asked Johans Alois to remain calm and not to be anxious. Police will not investigate the case, the Centengs said. And they will be ready to install the body, if bad possibilities occur.

Time is approaching the morning. The atmosphere is still quiet, even the cock crows have not sounded. Johans Alois down the city street. Still with the Trontom he drove himself. Trontom was a silent witness to the execution. To the five Centengs he had dropped by the roadside earlier. And now the destination is the Heintje Van der Boon residence around Waltervreden.

Johans Alois hastened his pace. Somehow he was so eager to meet Nyai Sumiyati that morning and release all the tension he experienced after eliminating eight lives Van Kemmers family.

The door to Heintje's house is still tightly closed. Looks like Heintje's still in Buitenzorg. I did not see the car in front of my house. Johans started knocking on the door.

...****************...

"Drink first! Master looks pale. Is Mister sick?" while fumbling his forehead, Nyai Sumiyati thrust a warm cup of tea for him and placed it on the table.

"I was very surprised by the arrival of the Lord this blind morning. Why are your clothes dirty and full of dirt?" tanyakanya.

Johans Alois is still silent. His appearance was very dull that morning. The remnants of the ground stuck to his pants and shoes. His tongue was getting too tired to tell him everything. The shadow of last night's events is still stuck in his head.

"It's okay. I need a mustika stone like you gave me yesterday. Do you still have any? I haven't been to the Van Kemmers house yet, and the mustika you gave me yesterday suddenly fell down."

"How did he fall?" the look on Nyai Sumiyati's face immediately turned irritated.

"I mean...Not fall. But it looks tucked away. I'll look for it again later in my pants pocket or shirt. As I recall I never took it out of my pocket." whether it was just to get stale or to look for a conversation material, Johans Alois reflexively asked like that. Ask about the mustika mira pomegranate stone that Nyai Sumiyati had given him the other day.

"Please keep that mustika well. Don't get lost. That Magical Rock I never gave to just anyone."

Should he tell you that last night he took out the Van Kemmers? aah, it's impossible. What if this woman told Heintje? aaah, but didn't she tell this indigenous woman yesterday about her plan to reclaim the rubber plantation land from the hands of the Van Kemmers? what if the Van Kemmers' bodies were found and word of their deaths spread? this woman could have testified to the authorities.

Plans began to cross his head. He would still go to the Van Kemmers family home to collect valuable papers that could have been faked. Maybe in two or three days. After everything goes according to plan, he will leave this city.

"I plan to go outside the area in the near future. My old friend invited me to do tobacco business in Oosthaven (now Bandar Lampung). Come with me!" bring Johans Alois.

"Difficult, Sir. What if Mr. Heintje comes back from Buitenzorg and doesn't find me here? I can't leave him."

"I'll give you anything you want. Maybe not as much as Tua Bangka gave it. But I'll make you happy." Johans Alois wanted to take the native woman with him. He had fallen for the woman's charm and wanted her to be his.

Nyai Sumiyati shook her head heavily. Even in his heart was filled with love for Johans Alois. Although it looks fierce, but the man is quite gallant and attractive. That morning, they spent time together. Like lovers who mutually express feelings. At last, Johans Alois stepped down and prepared to leave.

"I have to take care of some business before leaving for Oosthaven. If my business grows, I'll come here and pick you up. And I hope that Old Bangka Heintje is dead, hahahahahaha." he said, joking.

Before leaving, he gave some gulden sheets to Nyai Sumiyati. In return, the woman gave him something. A silver-eyed necklace of ruby pomegranate was clad to his neck.

"What's this?"

"Wear Mister, for safety during the journey. This is the stone-eyed necklace of Mirah Cempaka. Keep this well. It's an eye sign from me."

Seriate.
