186. AS RENTA'S PARENTS

“Well that's the entrance…. Let's see…. It was some kind of alley with guards, I don't understand, why the entrance to it seemed to be guarded in such a way”

“And not carelessly people can enter there” said Pak Pakat eh pak Bawono

“Iya sir is right too.. then how can we get in there, if the entrance is always guarded pak”.

“That's what I was thinking mas...”.

“Or so yes, we are now in the bodies of different people, I am in the bodies of the rich, while you are both in the bodies of old people who are very poor, he said, you could say like a vagrant, although in the previous village you were respected as parents”

“Does our body have a function to get into there?” said mr. Panat

“You can use that old body to get in there, but it's up to you two how, whereas I am, I will try to use my wealth and position to meet with the higher-ups there”

It's also surprising, why here there is such a colony, which resembles a separate government with high walls surrounding the area.

From the high walls rotate that seemed to separate the area from the outside, and they seemed to isolate themselves from the people outside.

But to trade, said Pakat they do with people who are outside, he said, Iha keep the walls that resemble the fortress its function for what if they are also still interacting with the people outside as well.

“Tonight I think it is enough to just look at this area and the gate or entrance that more resembles that alley”

“Better we just go home, tomorrow morning we will come here again to see how things are here when morning to afternoon”

“Iya sir, we do the observation first, we are not residents here, and we do not know how things are here”

“But what about our bodies sir, we live our bodies in the morgue of hospital”

“Let's be calm mas, there is Joko who will take care of it, the important thing is we should be able to go in there and meet with Ingrid”

“I think tonight's enough, let's just go home…. But tomorrow morning I will go to the office first, just in the afternoon we will come here”

Tonight we only briefly saw the state of a more appropriate place called the fortress, yes indeed the fortress because the shape is similar to the fortress.

*****

The afternoon after Mr. Pangat came home from where he worked.

I, mas Agus and Pak Panat are in the car that leads to the place I call the fort. We will make further observations.

“How do you think we need to get in there now or how?”

“Hehehe try to pay attention first sir, everyone who wants to go in there, apparently will be asked what the need is. But cook anyway the residents outside the fort can not go there?” mas Agus said

“But as long as we are here, no one has entered there mas.. It's no longer waiting for people who will go there mas”.

“Eh gini only, I will park this car first, then I will walk there, I wonder the guard will ask what to me later”

“Father wants to go in there, what happens if asked them sir hehehehe?”

“Gini mbak Tina, I am not an ordinary person, it could be that the keeper gives the freedom or ease to enter into”

“But it does not make sense sir, surely in there it contains hundreds of residents, cook the guards memorized one by one of the residents there…. You guys just wait here, I'll go into”

Pak warm moved the position of the car to a better place for parking, then Pak Pangat got off the car and walked casually towards a kind of alley that leads to the inside.

Agus and I could clearly see Mr. Panat was talking to two people who were at the entrance guard post.

Lama also pak Pangat talked to two people who if I noticed, they were both of Chinese descent.

As long as Mr. Panat spoke to the two people, there were some people walking in casually into the alley, and the two guards did not stop the person who entered inside.

“Mbak Tina's…. Look at that, how can those people casually get in there?”

“Iya mas, that's what Tina was thinking mas, did the guard not see the person who entered just now, or indeed people are free to be able to enter there?”

“We wait for Pakat first mbak, and remember we are here the goal is to commit a crime to one of the children of their leader”

Mr. Panat finished with the entrance guard, now he was walking towards the parked car not too far from the place.

I saw one of the guards watching this car, and did he also see where we were in this car.

*****

“Tenak mbak, this car window film is dark, I just noticed from there, and, the inside of this car does not look at all” replied Pakat after I asked if the guard saw the two of us in the car

“Not difficult to get in there.. Anyone is allowed to enter to trade or do activities inside, only if the night of the area must be sterile from the community outside it”

“Why is it like that? Because in the past there was often rape of Chinese women here, and often there was also a robbery of shops or homes of Chinese” residents

“Makanya by those who poured here, built a kind of fort that is useful to protect the people of Chinese descent here, but the incident happened a long time ago”

“Now the outside community can go inside to do activities inside there, but in the afternoon they should already be out of sana”

“Tadi indeed Pak Panat asked his guard….. Do they not suspect?, Mr. Panat is an official in this city, should an official already understand what happened here”

“Iya mbak.. but I was asked not just ask why there is this and that, but I asked about the history of”.

“So I asked them about who here knows about the history of this fort, because I used the reason my son got a assignment from school about the histories in this country”

“They both passionately explain the history of the founding of this fortress hehehe”

“Ok sir... So basically everyone can get in there right?”

“Now what about Ingrid, did you ask also about Ingrid who said son of the leader here”

“Ya.. earlier the guard also mentioned anyone who was instrumental in the formation of this colony, and it was the Ong family, his family Inggrid”

“And it's been hereditary that the family leads this region of children.. so we have to think again to be able to do something here”.

“We just go home to my house first, we have to think about how to meet with Ingrid, at least we have to meet face to face with him and talk well with him”

“Because we are going to commit crimes there, we are called criminals because our goal is to eliminate Inggrid, not to travel”

Sora day...The sun is still not too hot here.

The three of us were sitting in the living room of the warm-man's office or Bawono sir, there was no one here, not even a housekeeper's puran.

Quite strange also for an official like this Bawono sir.

There was only a driver, and this afternoon he was sitting on the porch.

The driver who was Mr. Pantat told to guard at home when the three of us headed to where I could say as a fortress

“Tomorrow morning I will go to the office, I actually do not know what I am as and what my position is, it's just that it is safe, so that the situation is safe, I'm better tomorrow morning to where I work”

“In the office I just sit alone in a large enough room, only my secretary sometimes goes in to ask me for a signature..hehehe”.

“Unfortunately I am going home, you can wait for me first to head there, and remember, you two are parents who can't get anything”

“Besok morning two housemaids who came here yesterday and the task of cleaning and cooking here came again, they are both people who like to know people's business, and the task of cleaning and cooking here comes again, so it's good you guys don't let ya” slip

“I told them both, that you two are the younger brothers of my family who are still alive hehehe”

Today there is no progress, Agus and I have not been able to go in there, only Mr. Pangat managed to talk to two gang guards into the place I call the fort.

Actually I had an idea to go in there and ask the people there about Inggrid, I happened to be and the Agus community was already a grandfather and a grandmother, so I think it's easy for me and Agus to get in there and blend in there.

But unfortunately today only Pak Panat who went there, while I and mas Agus just waiting in the car. But tomorrow afternoon I and Agus mas should be able to enter and blend in with the people who are there.

*****

This morning Mr. Panat has left for his place of work, in this big house there is only me, mas Agus and two maids who are busy with their work.

Agus and I were relaxing in the living room when one of the maids greeted us.

“Mbah... ngersake ngunjuk nopo (wha drink what)?”

“No need to mbak.. I can take the white water in the teapot just” point me to a teapot on the dining table.

“Ya already mbah uti, later if the cuisine is ready, panjenengan I will tell”

“Iya mbak, thank you very much”

Anyway don't talk to the two of them much, they ask yes I answer, they don't ask yes I diem, but if they are natives here, if they are, they should have known about the fortress-like area.

I'll ask when she tells me about her cooking. Usually if in the human realm such a person would know everything about anything hehehe, but do not know anymore if in nature like this.

I also told Mas Agus about my plan, and he agreed that I was looking for information from this housekeeper.

Actually, Agus and I still can not believe fully in Pak Panat, I and mas Agus still ask, why we are so grandmother and grandfather, why, while he became a powerful man.

But I don't know what's important is that we're going to get information from these two maids first.

“Mbaaah uti mbah kung.. breakfast is ready” said the maid who was standing next to the two of us who were sitting on the living room sofa.

Actually this breakfast is late, at this new hour they make us breakfast, but want how else, because this morning they have to make breakfast for Pakat first, pangat first, meanwhile breakfast for Mbah uti and mbah kung they made after that

“Iya mbak..eh mbak, I am not from this city, last night when me and Mbah kung were invited to go for a walk with Bawono, I saw there was some kind of big fortress …but it is located a bit far from here..that's a fort what the hell mbak?”.

“Oooh maybe what is meant by Mbah Uti is a Chinese fortress…. What is it close to that big river?” said the PRT with passion

“He’eh nduk, near the river..that's what building is nduk, why does it look strange?”.

“That's a village of china mbah, inside the fort there is a village whose inhabitants are all chinese..

“Oh.. What is special for Chinese people?”

“Iya Mbah..who lives there are only descendants of china, but if Mbah Uti and Mbah Kung kepingin the streets there are not papa, allowed kok, as long as the night must be out of there”

“People of china there well good all.. Moreover, the leader, they like to give alms to the natives.they often provide food ingredients and good fragrances for the natives who need”.

“Kalok mbah Uti and Mbah Kung want to go there monggo later I will deliver, we take a taxi just mbah”

“Do not mbak.. I wait for Bawono to come first, he said this afternoon he will go home kok mbak” replied Mbah kung aka mas Agus

Well, the maid's answer is different from the fact of what we have to do there.

Their leader is kind and charitable, then what about Ingrid and his parents, are they what is meant by this PRT?

We had to go there to find out what was going on there.

“Mbak... The leader of the place is old or young?”

“Obviously old mbah..they are all this time, sometimes if in the afternoon they walk around there, greet the residents who are there..
