Here we go, the hotel we were looking for.
I stared at the large hotel in front of us. When viewed from the outside, this hotel looks like a very luxurious hotel and quite magnificent. Yes, maybe you could say this hotel has a five-star value.
“This is it Rik, the end of our destination and the beginning of everything.”
“Do we have to go in there Mar?”
“Of course.”
I took a deep breath to calm myself down a little, because I was sure that there was something inside that could have shaken my emotions quite violently.
We started walking into the hotel and when we got to the entrance, we were immediately intercepted by two large men dressed in black.
“Sorry Deck, you two can't come in. This hotel has been rented for private.”
Said one of the guards to us.
The body of the guards was quite large and they also looked creepy.
I looked at Riki and he looked ordinary. I guess he'll be scared after seeing those guards.
“Really! There's an event I want to attend at this hotel. Said the event was held at night.”
It's time to play my part being a fool here.
“What way do you want to come?”
One of the guards came closer to us.
“I don't know either, but my father gave this.”
I showed the ticket on my phone to the guard.
“Can I borrow your phone for a while to scan the barcode?”
“Please Sir.”
I gave him my phone, and he scanned the barcode using his phone.
“Where did you get this barcode?”
The guard was a little suspicious and looked at the appearance of the two of us from top to bottom.
“Not that I told you earlier that I got it from my father. He gave me that as my birthday present yesterday. He said that I could get something fun out of that ticket if I came to the address listed there.”
I explained to them about it.
“This barcode is original, sorry to doubt you Mr. Rizki.”
The guard gave me my phone back.
Rizki's? Oh yeah I forgot that Maul faked my name with Rizki's name.
Why should Rizki? He should have named me better than this.
“Can I invite my sister also to the show?”
“It does not matter if only one person, because people who come to this event are also allowed to bring one person to keep them.”
Said the guard.
“Guard? Indeed what is on this show that I need a guard?”
I pretended to be an innocent schoolboy and knew nothing.
“Indeed you don't know what show you want to attend?”
The guard asked me back. He looked astonished at my perfectly innocent attitude not knowing that.
“No idea, my father never told me.”
“Later you also know when following the event, before you have to pass the inspection first.”
The two guards approached me and Riki to check on us.
“Thank you.”
I raised my hands and the guard started to check all parts of my body and checked the pockets of my clothes starting from my clothes and pants. They also used metal detectors to examine our bodies.
I didn't know it was this tight with their checks.
The guard held both of my phones, but they didn't take them. He ignored it and checked the other part.
“You both are safe.”
Aye? This they don't want to take my phone?
He was holding it.
“Do we not need to hand over our phone?”
I asked them both.
Actually it's better I don't ask that, who knows they forgot.
“No need, later you will need a phone when following the event.”
A cellphone? I wonder how the auction will be carried out.
But since they let me use a cell phone, there was one other thing I wanted to ask them.
“Can I also use earphones to listen to music in there? I sometimes like to get bored if I see something that is not interesting.”
Hopefully they are not suspicious of that question.
“Please.”
Yosh! Looks like they're too trusting of the signal disruptors that are in there.
Then one of the guards gave us two masks.
“This mask is for what?”
I ask them.
“Of course for you to wear, in this event all participants are required to use a mask.”
“Sounds interesting.”
Of course they had to use it to keep the identities of those who came alone a secret. Certainly from the organizers also anticipate if there are intruders to this event.
But since he allowed me to use the earphones, it meant that he wouldn't have expected that someone would be able to make a call outside the hotel.
I also wanted to wear the mask because the mask looks attractive. Such masks are commonly used by Italians to party.
“You better use that mask when you have entered the hall only.”
The guard stopped my actions.
“Where is the hallway?”
I asked them both.
“After the reception desk turn right and straight, later in front there is another officer. Just show me the barcode you have. Later they will let you in and show your table.”
One of the officers explained it to us.
If it passes through this officer, then I have to go to the toilet first to install earphones and contact Maul.
“Thank you.”
Riki and I started to enter the hotel.
“Happy to enjoy the show.”
For the size of the guards who have a stocky body and sangar face, they are quite friendly as well. It's a pity that they became guards in a place like this.
When I was away from the officer, Riki also praised my actions earlier.
“You were great at acting earlier Mar, it looks like you became an artist only after graduation later.”
“Mana may.”
Which maybe people who don't want to attract the attention of the crowd like me want to be an artist. It was very troublesome, moreover I had to deal with the media who were eager to know what I was doing.
“Do we want to go directly to Mar hall?”
“We go to the toilet first, I want to install earphones to be able to communicate with Maul.
“Alright then.”
We went to the reception desk and there were two men standing guard. Maybe it's because it's nighttime so the guy who's on guard here.
“Excuse me, if you can know where the toilet is?”
“Toilet is next to the master hall.”
“Thank you.”
Because the toilet was next to the hall, we had to pass through the hall in front of which was guarded by two guards whose bodies were large and sturdy as well.
I'm not gonna do anything with them. I'm sure Riki will think the same as me.
When I got to the toilet, I went straight into one of the toilet cubicles to attach earphones to the phone given by Maul.
“Test.. Tests... Tests... Did you hear my voice Mul?”
“Finally connected as well.”
Did Miyuki's father and mother arrive home?
“What's Mul?”
“The women here have been very anxious to you two for not contacting him from earlier.”
“There is a little constraint here.”
“Here also there is a little constraint.”
Maul complained about it to me.
“What?”
“Mother Miyuki's father and mother are home and now she is joining us.”
I thought the two of them had arrived. Maul must have been very troubled to explain that to the two of them. Moreover, Maul is not a person who is good at talking.
“Do they already know about this?”
“Miyuki has already told them, and they are also worried even more about your situation. Looks like they already think of you as their son Mar.”
“There is no time to joke at a time like this Mul.”
“Sorry... Sorry..”
That person, he was indeed a person who did not know the place and time.
“Why does your voice sound slow Mar? I had to raise the volume of my laptop in order to hear your voice clearly.”
“I'm on the toilet and it doesn't feel good if I speak out loud.”
Especially if someone enters the toilet too. Later he could tell that I could contact someone who was outside the building.
“Have you been inside Mar's hotel?”
“Of course, if I'm still outside there's no way I'll call you. I have also passed the examination officer and just follow the show.”
“Be careful Mar!”
Suddenly Maul's voice turns into Miyuki's.
“I know that, talk to him later. I'd like to go to the event.”
“Oi Mar, before that. I want you to connect the phone I gave you to the signal in the hotel.”
“How to Mul?”
“You just slide the screen of his phone from top to bottom and turn on his wifi only. Then you select the network that is there.”
I also practiced what Maul said.
“I've found the network, but everything is locked and needs the keyword.”
“No problem, you just select the network that is there. The phone can unlock it automatically.”
Whoa! Really it? What a great phone this is, maybe I'll borrow it someday.
And as Maul said, it didn't take long for the phone to connect to the network that was there.
“I have done and the phone is currently connected.”
“Ok, I'll try to get into that hotel chain. I will also turn off the signal jammer so I can freely control the network at that hotel.”
“Good.”
Whatever you say, Mul, only you understand what you're doing. I am currently thinking about the possibility that is happening inside there.
Before going out, I hid the earphones behind the jacket I was currently wearing. Even though the officer said I could use earphones, he could have just set me up.
I came out of the bathroom and approached Riki who was waiting in front.
“Are you connected to Maul?”
“Already, and now we are communicating. Do you want to talk to him?”
I offered it to Riki.
“Communicating? You just don't use the earphones he gave you, how can you hear what Maul said.”
“I only need a mic from his earphone to talk to Maul, later he will send the answer with a message.”
“Repot once.”
Riki complained about it.
“You how else, we do this so as not to be too suspected later.”
“Do we want to get into the hall now?”
Ask Riki.
“Iya.”
We walked to the guard there and I showed the barcode as the officer said at the entrance.
The officer scanned my code again.
“Please enter gentlemen, but before that let us check back.”
Hearing that makes me panic a little bit again because I don't know if there's any more checks. What if he finds the earphones that are currently hidden behind my jacket.
The two officers checked us again like officers at the entrance. And again the officer who checked me was holding both of my phones, but he still ignored them and checked my other parts.
Until the officer saw my earphone cord that was not covered by a jacket.
“That's what cable huh?”
The officer began to suspect.
“This earphone, I asked the officer in front. Said I could use it to listen to music.”
Right now I'm freaking out, but I'm trying to look calm in front of him. I can't seem to panic at all.
“Oh so... You two are safe, please come in. Sorry to interrupt the time.”
Riki and I were surprised to hear that, Riki and I exchanged lyrics and were happy that we weren't caught.
It turned out that what the officer who was in front said was true.
Riki and I entered the hall.
“Wait!”
Suddenly one of the guards called us and told us to stop.
I panicked again as well as Riki, did his guard realize anything?
“What's up?”
I took a deep breath to calm down.
“Please use your mask sir.”
“Oh so, alright.”
We both wore our masks and walked back in.
I also drowned when I knew we were safe. I guess he realized something from my earphone.
“I thought we got caught Mar.”
Riki whispered to me.
“I think so too.”
“Didn't your phone get caught earlier?”
“It should have been the two officers who examined me earlier found the phone given by Maul, but she did not confiscate it at all.”
“Why don't they confiscate it huh?”
Riki was astonished by this.
“Maybe because in this building there is a signal disruptor so make the officers do not care about the phone we carry. They think that we also can not use the phone to contact an outsider from inside this hotel.”
“You're right about that, but that's also what caught them off guard.”
“That's.”
But I'm grateful for that.
I like the way Maul plays right now. He was looking for the weak side of the strength the enemy had.
When I got there, I saw a very large room with a large stage in front of us. Then we also saw the banayk once the table was there. And also the people who already occupy the tables available.
“We want to sit where Mar?”
“Better we sit there only.”
I pointed to one of the empty tables no one was there.
We walked up to the table and sat there.
It’s Show Time!
