The Tetuka Adiwira

The Tetuka Adiwira
The Hikayat Negarakrtgama Ihwal Lima



The media reported that the superhero was considered to persecute a political figure. The figure of this politician has previously been heard in various media where there is sloping news about his involvement in several acts of corruption.


Everyone knows how powerful the position of the politician is. The law is almost impossible to touch. Need strong evidence and not just rumors, he said one time in front of the media. A strong bargaining position because he is backed by a political party parent who is also one of the ruling parties, certainly makes it almost unachievable.


The public remembers it with hate. However, people are also slowly aware that there is nothing they can do to get the politician rubberized and get the punishment they deserve.


Until one day he suddenly confessed all his sins.


The way the politician acknowledges everything is not in the usual way. She was doing drama hysterically. And despite the hysterical storytelling and explanation that comes out of his mouth is reasonable and neatly arranged


In front of the media, he revealed what he did in this major corruption case and who was involved in it.


His colleagues certainly refused. Legal officials certainly hold him because it is considered to make trouble, spread hoaxes, slander without evidence, and of course defamation.


Like a madman, the politician said that he was not at all afraid of prison. He was more afraid of the figure coming from the sky, he said. Maybe the person called the superhero is an angel figure who came to earth to give him direct punishment and must be paid in cash.


It all came out of his own mouth.


I raised one eyebrow while watching this on television.


I saw the politician as an opportunist. He may have been involved too deeply in politics. The issue of the emergence of the superhero figure may have been used by the politician to boost his own name. The public will probably support it. In this way, his name will instead appear to be an important figure up to the candidate head of state maybe.


I'm kneading my forehead.


What, he was determined to do such a big and risky action?


It has been about three months since my first interview by Erika and her television station with the theme of superhero, the mysterious person, the media in general seemed to agree to acknowledge the existence of this figure.


Even further media have tried to describe the superhero figure as a young man estimated to be twenty years old. Yes, just one!


My book had been reprinted, but I suddenly thought of something else. New theories and opinions I propose for the preparation of the next book with the theme, ‘Indonesian people who are in need of a hero’ as a continuation of the previous book which is more focused on the worship of violence in this nation.


Some tend to be stupid with the superhero issue, but believe that the politician is lying, some believe in my theory perspective, some are centered on the phenomenon of the emergence of the superhero.


Damn, the nature of these politicians makes me so sick.


It is not aware that this phenomenon arises because of their actions, the rotten politicians and corrupt officials felt safe and ignored the ad-like issue of stopping their bad behavior for a moment. Yet such a society wants to form and create a hero figure, to the point that they create a fictitious character.


With the response of the politicians, behind my distrust of the existence of a mysterious figure who has been called a superhero by the media, this, in my heart I wish he was really there to beat and punish those arrogant and indifferent politicians and officials.


Unexpectedly, my one hope was not in accordance with what happened. There was a drastic change when my theory which was also included in the next book – which was compiled in just two months – and my explanation in various interviews continued to be played on every television station in the archipelago, make society stew.


For some reason, after that for some time there were no significant events. No major crimes were recorded. There are no gang wars and drug kingpins in the capital. No public reporting vigilante action – but adored society – by the superhero. No politician cries out as a doormat to explain all his sins. No more brutal and heroic acts. There are no more reports of extraordinary events such as a motor slamming away, people soaring into space being thrown and beaten by the superhero, or the *superhero *himself who jumped up and down skillfully and agilely in the air.


For some time, the community seemed to be aware of how ridiculous the news was. Who can stand the phenomenal news of the emergence of a superhero * with the power of superhuman * who beat the enemy and defend truth and justice but without the slightest trace of physical evidence for approximately three months? Who can bear to keep dreaming without knowing what they really dream?


The last few days have been just the news of two politicians sentenced to under five years in prison for billions in corruption, and a real police general has committed many sins but is untouchable by the law.


In recent times people have been thrown to earth to realize that the politician and the police general are the real thing, and they are in power. Not the superhero. Entrance to prison is only a lull in their political scene. Or who has power, untouched by the law at all.


But without a sign, suddenly everything changed again when I saw it with my own eyes consciously and with full logic, a perfect psychological state and a full stomach.


I saw him appear out of nowhere, break through a squad of police forces easily to then clutch tightly the collar and clothes of the police general in front of my eyes. After that, then, he then jumped sky-high – I still can't believe if he jumped or flew – with the general's body and disappeared between the capital's rundown buildings and irregular trees right behind Headquarters The police force in this country.


I told you, I saw it with my own eyes. Not only me, but with a vest of police forces, journalists covering and some people who happened to pass in front of the Police Headquarters!


But in fact, none of the journalists who were there who numbered more than twenty people had thought to take pictures or videos of the emergence of the superhero who managed to ‘kidnap’ the general. It happened so fast, and we were too stunned and dazed by what was really going on.


Suddenly I realized and understood why none of the photos and physical evidence of the superhero existed. Suddenly I want to apologize to all the witnesses who claimed to have seen the *superhero*with their own eyes.
