Wanara Project

Chapters 3. Aargau (2)

“ Rama stood with his mouth open.

Rama was again surprised by what he saw.

“What is this?” rama asked whoever was in the room.

“Welcome Mr. Rama, introduce me Julia the person in charge of the registration process of Project Wanara” Julia introduces herself very politely and gently.

Julia was the person in charge of the initial process of registering Project Wanara. Julia has a beautiful and sweet face plus Julia is very good at using makeup tools so that the makeup she uses can add to her beauty. Julia's stature is not too high nor is it too short, not too fat, nor is it too thin. It is ideal for a woman's size.

No different from other female staff, Julia also wore a company uniform that looks very harmonious with her makeup.

“Salam knows... I am Rama Ghuntara..” Reply Rama with a little downcast shame for seeing the beauty of Julia.

“Please follow me Mr. Rama, I am sure a lot of questions that arise in your mind at this time.” Julia opened the conversation very straightforwardly.

Rama is still stunned by Julia's presence. But Julia's words make Rama aware and start following Julia's steps.

“What is this place.. Mmmm...” Rama is hesitant to continue the question.

“Julia.. Don't hesitate to call me Julia” Julia as if understanding the doubts of Rama.

“Alright, what exactly is this place Julia? Since coming to this place, a lot of things that make me amazed and feel astonished”

“I will be happy to answer your question Mr. Rama. But please sit first” Julia let Rama sit in a seat that has been provided specifically for the guests. There is a large round table decorated with a beautiful flower vase in the eye.

“It looks like all this furniture is not cheap stuff. Can I sit here?” Rama asked Julia.

“Please Mr, you are our guest, so please sit Tuan” Julia answer Rama's question.

As Rama sat on the chair carefully, he was worried that he would damage the furniture in the room. Shortly after Rama sat down, the other staff swiftly served a cup of tea and some light snacks to be served to Rama. Rama was again stunned by what he saw. Rama's silly behavior looks cute in Julia's eyes and makes her smile.

“Good, before I start the registration process, does anyone want Mr Rama to ask?” Julia opened the conversation.

“Just go.. Actually I accidentally found a strange leaflet and came to the address listed in the leaflet, until I finally sat with you here Julia. But none of that I understand from this incident. What really happened?” Rama tried to ask politely to Julia.

“Alright, I'll explain this condition a little. First, the leaflet that Mr. Rama found was actually an invitation that we gave to a few people. We don't give this great opportunity to just anyone. We ourselves do not really understand why an invitation as important as this can be in just any place. There may be our invited guests who are not interested in what we are working on and just throw this invitation away. Until finally this invitation is in your hands, sir

Rama.”  Julia explained very well and straightforwardly. Rama looked at Julia's explanation carefully.

“Next about Project Wanara.. Wanara is one of the projects currently being done by Pandawa Group. The goal of the project is to make the community better. The point is that we hope that through Project Wanara, we can get some sort of efficient method to be able to improve and optimize one's capabilities. Basically humans are perfect creatures, it's just that many people are not able to take advantage of the potential they have. It could be that they do not have the ability to optimize their potential, or it could be that they do not know at all what potential they have. Therefore we do this research and experiment.” Julia explained.

“What do you mean you will make me as a guinea pig Hah...?!!” Rama cuts Julia's explanation in a high tone because Rama does not think that he will be used as a guinea pig.

“Whatever good purpose you are, I will never be your guinea pig... Remember that...!!”.

Without a second thought, Rama stood up from his seat and left the room. But Darma who had also accompanied Rama there, suddenly stepped in front of the exit to block Rama.

“What is this..?!! Aren't you guys gonna let me go? It's a violation of the law. I'll sue you..!!!” Rama screamed in panic and was confused as to what to do.

“We will make you part of this project. But we don't consider you a guinea pig at all. You should even feel lucky to be here. As I said earlier, the invitation that you currently hold is not intended for random people. Only the chosen ones can get it. But it is a little different from your current case.” Julia gave a stern explanation.

“More, earlier you talked about the demands. Do you think you can win against Pandawa Group?” Julia exerts a little pressure so that the situation can be well controlled.

Rama was struck by Julia's words. He did not think clearly at all because he suddenly felt panicked. Rama tries to calm himself down and tries to listen to what Julia is explaining.

“Now I want you to think and answer this question well. Do you have a place to stay? Do you have a steady job? Are you living a quiet and comfortable life out there? Can you eat well at any time?” Julia gave questions that made Rama embarrassed.

Instantly comes the memory of the life that Rama is currently living. He has no place to stay. Eating potluck, even often he ate the leftover food of others who were thrown away. Finding a job is much harder than you might imagine. Rama had to worry about being caught by city security and rotting in jail every day. Rama thought, there is no 1 good thing in his life at this time. However, Rama did not immediately accept Julia's words.

“What do you mean ask like that Julia?” Rama tries to defend and defend his pride.

“I know you're having a tough life out there. I'm not scolding you. Quite the contrary, I try to explain to you the current situation so that you understand.” said Julia.

“If you join this project, your life will be better. You do not need to be confused looking for a place to stay and food, because we will provide everything for you” Julia again explained politely and kindly. Julia was not at all provoked by Rama's anger.

“Why should I. I accidentally found this invitation. You can find someone else, right.??!!” Rama kept trying to avoid.

“You are the one who came here by itself. You brought this invitation. There are also people in this room with us. Not anyone else. Then why should we look for someone else?” answer Julia.

Rama was at a loss for words. Rama thought hard to keep trying to run away from the situation. Rama looked around the room, hoping there was a gap or other path he could use to escape. But it seems futile. Rama did not see the slightest gap. There is only 1 way out of the room, the entrance where Darma is currently standing by folding his hands, as is a hungry lion ready to pounce on prey.

Instantly the room was silent….

“In addition to what I explained earlier, you will also get an allowance every month of 10 Million Rupiah. That allowance you can use for personal use and fun.” Julia spoke and broke the silence.

“Whataaa....?!!” Rama was back with what he heard.

“Did I not hear wrong, you said 10 million, right?” ask Rama.

“Iya right 10 million, what is less?” Julia gave an answer as well as a question to Rama.

“No... No.. This is not true.” Answer Rama. For some people, this is a small number. But for Rama at the moment, it was a fantastic number that even he had never imagined.

“If that's the case, why didn't you talk in the first place…??!!!! I will be happy to join Project Wanara” Rama spoke with great enthusiasm as if he had never felt the slightest worry before.

“Are you sure of the decision Mr. Rama.” Julia asked to confirm Rama's decision.

“Are you crazy? Of course I'm sure.. Ha ha ha...” Rama laughed with pleasure.

Julia smiled back at Rama's silly behavior. While Darma was surprised by the sudden change in Rama's attitude.

“What happened to this fool?” darma thought confused.

“Wanara... I am coming!!”
