The Tetuka Adiwira

Hikayat Negarakrtgama Ihwal Eighteen

The police made Erika and me witnesses to this incident. Not why, these four herds of thugs were found tied to a sitting position by a steel wire in front of the Chinese food restaurant where we were eating at the time. According to information obtained by the members of the Police, they claimed to be paid to threaten me for inciting the public with my opinions.

And no wonder, it was Sigalagala Hall who sent them.

My testimony is that I heard one of the thugs say a message from Sigalagala Hall became an important note.

A threat.

The press obviously got what they wanted. The direct talk from my mouth and Erika about the incident and Erika who told more details about the appearance of Gatotkaca has made the media without free time to continue to get hot news about Gatotkaca.

The Sigalagala Hall refused to admit it and said that this was slander by people who hated him. Police have not named him as a suspect in the attack on a sociologist and a female presenter.

But I am very sure, Sigalagala Hall must be frightened because it is very possible that Gatotkaca himself will visit it. After all, that figure has proven to be able to defeat his men to intimidate me easily. Coming directly to Sigalagala Hall, most likely not a problem.

“Erika, I've heard your story many times, including the one you told the press. But I still wonder, why does he help us and how can he sniff all this?”

“Pak Negara, from now on stop being humble and simple-minded. You are an important figure in this country. You do not realize that you are the one who moves the public mind about Gatotkaca. Even as Gatotkaca himself said, you support him, believing his actions to be a straight-trip thing with justice. You are an important and significant person, borrowing Edo said. Gatotkaca was no ordinary person. He's intelligent. Watching everything. He really controls the field. Whatever souls are filthy and he can already foresee their actions. We must support him fully Mr. Negara.”

Erika unbrokenly continued, “She will truly become a new idol. A young hero who is valiant, brave, and in my opinion very handsome. Do not forget the authoritative voice of the baritone in front of the girls but scary for the begundals. Easy for public to love her.”

After Erika finished her sentences there was a strange taste in my chest cavity, a little soreness. I subconsciously replied and tried to force a smile, “Wah, it turns out you became the first fan of Gatotkaca it seems, Erika.”

It felt like I said it normally, but Erika managed to capture another meaning behind my words. She smiled sweetly and I suddenly regained my relief that I was jealous, and Erika knew that.

Sigalagala Hall slammed into the wall. The four bodyguards aka the bouncer have been in disarray first. The four bouncers were previously known to be trained for years as mercenary thugs who offered services to the people with the highest deals. They are involved in a variety of criminal cases from mere threats, to persecution and murder.

These people have become the man who is the bosses, politicians and even the apparatus to carry out their dirty activities. At the moment, all four are fugitives. What to say, they were beaten up by the Gatotkaca with the Sigalagala Hall who should be confused to find a reason what to do with the four bagundals.

In CCTV footage, the door was violently broken. A figure of a man burst in with incredible speed. Killing the four begundals that could almost be said to be unprepared for this attack. Before long Hall also floated against the wall even though the fat body must have been very heavy.

As usual, the press first learned of this incident. Obviously the rottenness of the Hall is revealed clearly.

The Gatotkaca attack may not have been legally allowed. However, the issue that surfaced more strongly next was, why were the four bagundals with him at that time? What's their relationship? Aren't the four criminals on the run? If Balai denies any connection to the four criminals, CCTV footage is already proof that they are getting together. Even the video has stopped by on Youtube and milling around on all television channels. Gatotkaca again caught everyone's attention.

The face of the Sigalagala Hall grinned in front of dozens of press cameras focusing on it. No less than twenty lawyers were all around him mixed in with the Police officers. Even though his hands were handcuffed, his fat body remained steadfast with arrogance. His cynical face could not be covered with bruises that had not disappeared when he hit the wall of his office.

“What is your relationship with the fugitives, Mr Hall?”

“How do you feel now?”

“Why did Gatotkaca attack you, Sir?

Dozens of questions sprang from the mouths of journalists. Police officers and a group of lawyers made a human fort so that the mic of the reporters did not rub the face of Sigalagala Hall. Despite trying to penetrate the news hunters, Balai still had time to say long sentences that were clearly recorded by the media.

“I am innocent! It's obvious this is going to be the country's crime. He deliberately sent his bouncer to beat me up. We now both know that it turns out that the person you are a Gatotkaca is actually nothing like a thug who happens to have extraordinary physical strength. Want to be accompanied by our country if people can be vigilant? I don't care if Gatotkaca is a god. I'll sue the State and drag at once his goons to jail.”

It seems that Sigalagala Hall is overconfident. He still survived not because Gatotkaca could not hurt him. This is just a warning to a rotten politician. But a politician has power. The power that the Hall has can affect the council and eventually it can also affect the government and its cabinet. Psychologically, the government feels the need to take this matter seriously. Unbelievable fears and worries circulated in the Presidential Palace. Apparatus are increasingly alerted.

Not long after my door was knocked on one night. A special police officer picked me up on the grounds of asking for information. Although I have explained several times the events that I experienced, this time I can not avoid the problem, because I myself considered a problem.

My wounds have dried up. All I'm worried about now is Gatotkaca's actions. I understand my risk now. The positive elites already hate me. Even the police dropped off their special forces just to pick me up to go back and ask what happened. They're trying to see continuity between my stabbing and Gatotokaca's attack on Balai. Sometimes I feel, how influential Hall is to the extent that the Police are consumed by his words. I'm afraid Gatotkaca will come to help me. Either he will break into the police headquarters, beat the officers, or even come back to beat Hall. When this happens, of course the explanation of the Hall makes sense. Gatotkaca will be considered as a search for money. Regardless of who he was, Gatotkaca turned out to be only a stooge of a country who acted rudely to anyone who was deemed worthy of a lesson.

Fortunately Gatotkaca did not come that night.
