Three Cross - Time Youths

Hidden Clues

The chase in the city park has paid off. Jayak, Mado, and Kunta get closer to the mysterious thief. They ran through bushes and trees, almost chasing after the thief who was running out of breath.

Suddenly, the thief made a sharp turn towards the darker area of the park, away from the main road. The three of them continued to chase and tried not to lose track. However, by the time they arrived at the place, the thief had already disappeared.

"We lost him!" mado said with frustration.

Kunta, who was still carrying the newspaper in her hand, smiled suddenly. "Wait a minute. Could this be a clue?"

He pointed to a large stone that seemed to be different from the other stones. On top of the stone, there was a piece of paper that looked like a message left by the thief.

Jayak, Mado, and Kunta approached the stone. Mado quickly grabbed the paper and started reading it. The written text made him frown. "This is no ordinary message. It's a riddle!"

Kunta, who was still holding the newspaper, was overjoyed. "Riddle? I'm expert!"

Mado gave the paper to Kunta in a curious tone. "Well, Kunta, try to read and solve this puzzle."

Kunta began to read the riddle excitedly. "With keen eyes, looking in the moonlight, among the stars that shine brightly. Go to the place that gives light to the night, that's where the stone you'll find."

Jayak, seriously, thought for a moment. "This must have to do with a bright place at night. We need to find further clues."

Kunta, who was still focusing on the newspaper, suddenly stopped reading and smiled widely. "I know the answer! That's.this newspaper!" He pointed to the newspaper he was carrying.

Mado and Jayak look confused. "What do you mean, Kunta?"

Kunta explained enthusiastically, "This puzzle refers to objects that shine brightly at night, and what shines brighter than newspapers filled with sparkling news and advertising? So, we should look for further clues inside this newspaper!"

Mado and Jayak finally smiled. Perhaps Kunta was right, and the paper contained further clues. They began to examine the newspaper closely, looking for anything that looked suspicious or had anything to do with the missing gemstone.

Meanwhile, Kunta continues to solve the crossword puzzles that are in the newspaper. Although not related to gemstones, he looks happy to be able to find suitable words.

After a while, Mado suddenly exclaimed, "Aha! Found it!" He pointed to an ad that looked suspicious. In the ad, there is a picture of a famous art museum followed by its address.

Jayak and Kunta looked at the advertisement and nodded. "This is our lead!" said Jayak.

Mado looked at Kunta in surprise. "You're an expert at finding clues, Kunta. But I think this puzzle is more symbolic than it really is."

Kunta shook his head and exposed himself to the still unsolved puzzle. "Maybe this ad is another puzzle that is waiting to be solved!"

With this new clue, they are preparing to visit the art museum. However, they also realized that their search was far from over. New challenges await at the art museum, and they must prepare to face them with a cool head and a strong spirit.

After finding clues in the newspaper, Jayak, Mado, and Kunta move towards the address listed in the ad, which turns out to be the address of an old house located on the outskirts of town. As they arrived in front of the house, the atmosphere of the night grew darker, and cloudy clouds began to cover the sky.

The old house looked like something that could be found in their past. Old and rather spooky with large wooden doors and windows that look like lurking eyes. Mado gulped his saliva, while Jayak looked ready to act.

They stood at the door and argued for a moment about who should knock on the door. Finally, it was Kunta who decided to knock on the door gently.

After a while, the door opened slowly, and in front of them was a grandmother dressed in all pink with her curly and white hair. The grandmother smiled sweetly and said in a soft voice, "Oh, welcome, children. What can I help you with?"

Mado, who had always been an open one in speaking, replied, "We are looking for something important, Madam. We're sure it's here."

The grandmother frowned. "Something that matters, say. What'sthat?"

Jayak politely tried to explain, "We are looking for a precious gemstone, Madam. We have a clue that it could be here."

The grandmother understood. "Oh, of course. Let's go in and talk about this better. I'll have you guys cake and tea."

The grandmother invited them into her messy home with various antiques and private collections. They sat in the living room which had padded chairs covered in pink cloth and a tea table decorated with dried flowers.

The grandmother immediately went to the kitchen, and they heard the sound of cups and plates being shifted. However, when the grandmother returned to the living room with three servings of hot cakes and tea, they realized that they had been caught up in a slow conversation with the grandmother.

The grandmother seemed so eager to talk and tell the stories of her past. Every time they tried to ask about the gemstone, the grandmother switched the conversation with stories about her granddaughter or visits of former guests. He seemed very happy to have guests.

Jayak and Mado begin to feel frustrated and impatient. They whispered to each other, trying to find a way to lure information from the grandmother.

Kunta, meanwhile, was more interested in the crossword puzzle lying on the tea table. He started to crack a few words and seemed very happy when he managed to finish it.

Just as they were about to give up, Mado suddenly decided to try a different method. He smiled sweetly at the grandmother and said, "Mrs, your stories are very interesting, but we are very curious about the gemstone. It's very important to us."

The grandmother looked at Mado with eyes suddenly lifted from a cup of tea. "Oh, I get it, honey. Forgive me if I talk too much. The stone is in this house. But I want you to search for yourself."

Kunta completed the final crossword puzzle cheerfully. "We'll look for him with pleasure, ma'am."

The grandmother smiled and pointed the direction to another room. "There's one last clue. Find a mirror in that room. There, you'll find the gemstone you're looking for."

They thanked the grandmother, and after a while searching the other room, they found a large mirror mounted on the wall. And inside that mirror, hanging beautifully, was a gemstone that they were looking for.

The moment they touched the gemstone, suddenly a flash of light filled the entire room. And they know that their journey to return to their own time is still long.

In a big surprise, when Jayak, Mado, and Kunta discover a gemstone that is supposed to be hidden inside a mirror, they realize that it is just a fake plastic toy. They felt disappointed and confused, but at the same time, they did not give up.

Kunta is smart in finding clues looking further. There was something strange about the plastic toys. Carefully, he inspected the toy and discovered that the gemstone was actually hidden inside, behind a layer of fake plastic.

Kunta smiled and said, "It's really complicated. They tried to hide this stone very well."

Mado nodded in agreement and gently took out the real gemstone from the fake plastic toy. The gemstone shone with its true beauty, giving off a light that filled the room.

Jayak, who appeared calm throughout this journey, could not help his sense of relief. "We have found it! We've succeeded."

They looked at the gemstone with amazement. This is the gift they are looking for during their long and adventurous journey. But their happiness did not last long.

A high voice of laughter suddenly flowed in the room. They turned towards the voice and saw the clown player they had met earlier in the art gallery. The clown player hovers in the air with a large number of balloons tied to him.

"Of course, that clown player!" kunta said.

The clown player landed lightly near them and smiled widely. "Thank you for buying the balloons from me, kids. But one more thing I have to say..."

Without any other words, the clown player pulls one of his balloons tied to the other balloon. And when the balloon came off the strap, they all saw with surprise that the gemstone they had found was tied to the balloon.

The balloon with the gemstone started to soar high into the dark night sky. Jayak, Mado, and Kunta grabbed it in vain, but the balloon was too fast and high to reach.

Mado shouted in frustration, "We can't just let the stone go!"

Jayak, who was always calm, thought fast. "We need to get help from this clown player. He probably knows how to control the balloons."

They ran up to the clown player and begged for his help. The clown player laughed and finally revealed that he had control of the balloons using a remote control that he hid behind his costume.

After helping them get the gemstones back, the clown player laughed and said, "You guys are an amazing team! May you complete your adventure and return to your time."

Jayak, Mado, and Kunta thanked the clown player and continued their journey. They know that there are many obstacles still waiting ahead, but they have a strong determination to complete their mission and return to their own time.

As they walked away from the clown player, they saw a bright shining gemstone in his hand and smiled at each other. They know that this adventure has brought them one more step closer to achieving their ultimate goal, and they are ready to face whatever is to come
