The Tetuka Adiwira

The Tetuka Adiwira
The Hikayat Negarakrtgama Ihwal Eight



When my gate opened, I was finally willing to tell it all. From what I saw in detail, to include all views and again my latest theory about the superhero.


Erika turned her head to hear my story that the figure was indeed a human being. Only, his strength was simply absurd. No human being can possibly have a fingertip compared to him. His leap was too high, his immeasurable agility, until his power of lifting the General belonged to someone who was definitely not an ordinary man.


Erika listened carefully. He believed me a hundred percent.


Not only that, this openness of mine made us speak fiery. He often nods and responds to the stories I tell and the thoughts I put forth. In the minutes that followed, we spoke as if not as a presenter and a speaker, but as two friends who shared their thoughts. Erika also became open so that made our conversation not only exciting but also warm.


Without hesitation and without any negative feeling all my explanations flowed like mountain water descending into the rice fields. I no longer feel attacked. I no longer feel like I'm being accused of my mistake of putting forward the theory that the superhero is actually just a hallucination.


It can be said that finally I firmly admit that the figure does exist, real and I am one of the main surviving witnesses who saw its existence. Somehow why and how, my determination slowly but surely rounded and hardened. The glimmer of light that had originally peeked out from behind the veil curtain now had already slashed out blindly.


Erika was silent seeing me suddenly stunned. I realized he was watching me while I was not on earth. This sudden silence of mine may be a mystery to Erika. However, before he called my name to ask what was going on with me, I looked at him.


“Erika ..., I decided that you should cover me! We have to make a special event. We have to explain to the people and the country, even if it takes the whole world to tell the superhero whereabouts. That's what we need. That's what this nation needs. We seem to have to agree to support the existence of the superhero outside the debate later on over the actions taken. The existence of the figure must be reported with akbar. I don't care if the politicians go berserk because of this. I don't care if the officials fire a beard. I also do not care if the criminals of this country are inflamed because they feel threatened by the declaration of the real existence of the superhero!” I said finally after nearly two hours of sharing communication with Erika.


Erika pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows and tilted her head slightly, as usual, a sign she agreed. But this time he smiled and laughed.


My heart was like it wanted to explode. Random feelings have tormented me since I first witnessed the superhero's appearance. I can't really define what's going on and how every sense and thought is conflicting. Now, in just a few hours, his feelings are getting mixed up. The difference is, more positive and bold things that seemed to have buried all my fears and anxieties. Am I really a sentimental person?


Call it Erika's presence. I did not expect the woman who had occupied the space in my mind to be present in different situations and roles. Other than that she made my heart flower for childish reasons, I became not alone. I have a teammate.


It was as if my life was being outlined for something big.


Okay, maybe I'm overreacting. But, there's no harm in thinking ‘big’ isn't it? I just have to know where I play in this phenomenon.


News ‘attacks and kidnappings’ the general rolls over like a fireball burning everything he goes through. Traditional print newspapers, television and the Internet are inexhaustibly reporting this incident.The story of the superhero dominates all news platforms.


Elsewhere, as an officer in charge of maintaining the security of citizens and maintaining stability, the Police immediately intervened and received media requests to explain their responses and actions. Moreover, the core of this problem is actually the police itself.


In the horrendous interview, the police no longer hesitate to decide that the superhero is actually a criminal, a criminal, maybe a terror. They put him as a villain, an enemy of society.


It's just that the police never admitted that the figure is someone with superhuman abilities and who is often touted as a superhero by the media. They reject any media portrayal that the mysterious figure can jump high like flying, move quickly, and have physical strength above the average human. Police denied the news from dozens of journalists about the incident. Police officials said the media was far-fetched and challenged the real evidence of the superhero's presence. The police deny the facts provided by journalists by turning to accuse their journalists and instead disquiet the public with news that is not-no. It seems like the media conspired to blow up this phenomenon just for the sake of sensational news.


Instead, the police declared officially that they admitted the general was kidnapped. This is a terror incident. In fact, the police cannot say that the perpetrator was only one. They did not explain in detail how this happened. They shut down all the storytelling and depiction of actual events. Fortunately for the police, their attitude is supported by the weakness of the evidence by the crew of journalists who do not have anything to show to the public. Although the police have to bear the shame and hold the anger because they feel ‘kekolong’.


Another case with media that is so upset and inflamed. They all agree that the Police deliberately cover what really happened even though many of the Police members are the main witnesses of the incident ‘penampan’ the superhero figure.


Some journalists objectively assume that the police only cover up what can be very dangerous for the security and the public in general.


A person with that kind of strength was certainly a very dangerous item. Moreover, his deftness to attack the police, beyond whether the general is guilty or not. His action was a violent act, against the law. Moreover, the police have not been able to define what kind of person or creature, how capable, and what kind of purpose and purpose.


Some have simpler thoughts. The police are too dirty. There are too many people playing there. They have tried to cover up all their crimes and vices from the beginning and defend anyone who is on their side, especially the officials and members. The police were too shocked by this incident and immediately tightened up their bodies to protect their assets and secrets of depravity.


Moreover, who knows it is as people have said that this superhero does exist. Either someone, either a group of people who have special powers that beat up criminals who defend the weak and uphold justice. This figure floated in secrecy and crushed the begundals. The police feel that their institutions are dirty so they are threatened and afraid to be tried, just like politicians and mischievous businessmen. The law they have mastered, but not with the street law which is now being dominated by the figure of the superhero.
