THE next day I woke up in a hotel room with Amelia still sleeping next to me. This Chinese emperor's daughter woke up when I stood. She asked what time. I answered at eight in the morning.The two of us then took turns cleaning ourselves and went together to the CLOFUS campus. Actually, I wanted to ask Amelia if Billy would not look for her.But I did not want to do that because I realized that this move would make Amelia realize that I knew something. I was worried that Amelia won't be close to me anymore.Arriving at the Faculty of Letters, Amelia and I separated. I went to English class, while Amelia went to Chinese Literature class.In the middle of my walk towards class, a female voice called out to me. When I turned, apparently, the voice came from Aisha. Actually, I was reluctant to meet Aisha.Considering Aisha did not fully tell me what she was doing on Madura Island actually. Aisha told me that she and her family accepted the invitation o

AFTER receiving the money from Aisha, I immediately booked a flight ticket to Jakarta for two people. Since I didn't know where the mob boss was, I asked Malique to take me to you.Previously, Malique had told the mafia boss who hired him that there was a representative from the Rasheed family who wanted to pay off the debt. The mafia boss agreed and invited representatives of the Rasheed family to come to Jakarta. Of course, the representative of the Rasheed family in question was me.When I contacted the airline to book tickets, all flights to Jakarta for the next day were fully booked. I then told Aisha, Zidan's debt repayment must be postponed until the day after tomorrow, according to the next flight schedule.Aisha looked uneasy knowing that. Then she asked me, could I fly this afternoon?“Sorry, Lang,” said Aisha, “I know I asked for a lot of help. But, can you fly today? I'm afraid that the longer this matter is left unresolved,

BEFORE I left, I asked Uncle Troy what he had to do with setting up Hendryx until the superstar bassist was caught by the police. As a result, the village-owned enterprise founded by Hendryx was threatened with bankruptcy. That way, Saltyville no longer had the legality of customs.And now, the process of changing the status of community land to state land would be more easily realized. If that's the case, the historic Saltyville Village for my grandfather Bradley, George, Alex Limantoro, Uncle Brody, and Uncle Troy would be evicted."What's your business with Hendryx? Didn't Alex ask you to thwart any attempt to evict Saltyville?" I asked."I really have no business with Hendryx," said Uncle Troy, "and this is all just business, Langley. I can't tell you everything. But you don't have to worry."I was nodded in understanding.After giving Troy the money from Aisha, Malique and I said our goodbyes to this classic Chinese bar. Troy let us go safely

BACK in Surabaya the next day, I was still uneasy in my room. I was still thinking about all the related incidents, but I did not understand. Lastly, Malique said that the two bodies found on Saltyville Beach were last seen by his men while at Grisee.Meanwhile, based on information from Gerald – the head of the Saltycoast Police – the two bodies were the subordinates of Surabaya mafia boss Brody, my uncle. So, the two people who threw Molotov cocktails at my house were Uncle Brody's men who were last seen with the Indonesia Muslim Defender (IMD) in Grisee.What did this all mean?Did Uncle Brody intend to harm my family? Was it because I threatened his position as mafia boss? In fact, Uncle Brody looked really good to me. In fact, he told me about his past. Moreover, he still holds the oath to remain loyal to my family. Therefore, Uncle Brody invited me to join him as an associate.My mind was getting crowded with the facts that I found from

“ARE you from the Rasheed family?” asked Mr. P to Zidan, “Sorry, I only know a few Arabs, and the Rasheed family is the most famous. And of course, the Floyd family.""Yes, I am Rasheed's youngest child," replied Zidan."So you are Aisha's brother?" Matt asked."Yes, that's right," said Zidan, "Aisha is my older sister.""Oh yes," I said, trying to stir things up, "congratulations on your sister's engagement with the son of the Regent of Madura."Zidan then laughed out loud, while Mr. P, Matt, Liam, and I just stared."Is not that true?" Liam asked."No, no," said Zidane, "it's not like that. You've come to the wrong conclusions like so many others."I was getting curious."Wrong how?" Mr. P, "Didn't the two families met in Madura? Wasn't that an engagement?"Zidane replied calmly."Actually, there is no engagement in Islam," he replied, "the meeting of the two families in Madura was taaru
