BAGAS glanced at the bracelet on his arm.
05.07.11.
He still had enough time to fulfill he promised Mada, the man he had just buried in middle of forest. A pottery stall appears in front.
The kiosk was simple, a kind of hut with walls of bamboo roofed with shingle leaves.
On the page you can see various types of pottery dried. There are also several lion-faced statues human and various bird statues.
A thin, bare-chested man greet him.
"What do you want to buy? Please have a look." Man the skinny said kindly. You can see his two upper teeth date.
"Umh, I was sent by a friend," said Bagas carefully. heart. "He said the elephant tusks had broken..."
The thin man in front of him was stunned. Her smile is gone a serious face. He squinted looked at him and then nodded.
"Follow me..."
The man rushed into the hut. Bagas follow. Inside the hut there are five pottery craftsmen who is working.
"We're closed. The elephant ivory has broken…" the man said. The five colleagues looked shocked. No talking they stopped their activities. They hurry walk to the back of the hut.
There were eight horses tied up in the stables at the back cottage. The thin man pointed at the colored horse white with black stripes tied to the far right.
"You wear that one. Fast. We don't have much time…"
With a little awkwardness, Bagas rode a white horse that. Secretly he was happy because he used to follow Professor Dananjaya's suggestion to learn to ride horse. In his time, in the modern era, horseback riding absolutely not encouraged, or taught. But in
In the past, horseback riding was a skill must be mastered. Riding a horse in the past maybe function is the same as the ability to ride a bicycle motorcycles in the modern era.
The seven people, six pottery craftsmen—Bagas now not sure if they really were craftsmen. But no, he thought. Impossible. him at all does not do anything. He's not involved a fight involving Mada with his enemies. Without his interference, Mada remained will die.
So what is he doing now? He now brings news from Mada. Mouthpiece Mada. Are there any consequences in the future?
Bagas sighed. He doesn't know. For sure, they are is now heading to Tarik. He can feel the beat of the white horse's body galloping fast.
The wind blew on his face as if to whisper a phrase
WELCOME.
Welcome to Tarik!!
***
The center of the Tarik settlement which is also the center
the Majapahit kingdom was actually surrounded by a kind of canal
quite wide, maybe tens of meters. That wide channel
crossed by a bridge made of stone. Right at the end
On the bridge you can see a post filled with dozens of armed people
complete.
This guard post seems to check the visitors
to Pull. However they, the guards were just
nodded when Bagas and his entourage passed by. Clear
that Bagas' companion was well known, and
apparently believed by the guards.
The houses in Tarik are generally made of wood with bamboo walls, or planks, and usually have thatched roofs
shingle leaves. Or palm fiber. Every few houses are separated
by fields. Bagas can't really observe
carefully as his traveling companion led
The Slenderman sped up quickly.
They lead to the back of the complex
a magnificent building surrounded by brick walls
coloured Red. Bagas stares intently
attention. Is this the Majapahit Palace?
But they apparently did not lead to the palace,
but rather to the building next door, which is located at
West Side. The building was large, made of red brick
which is not cleaned.
"Actually, where are we headed?" Bagas
ventured to ask.
The Slenderman gave him a strange look, as if surprised
with the question.
"We are now entering Grahasarwa, the headquarters
Bhayangkara..."

CIARA glanced at her watch. Still five hours to go before Bagas returns. Five hours to be felt like five days. Or five years?
The girl did not understand why she felt bad.
Uncomfortable. Since the beginning, since a few months ago he already knew that Bagas would become an Indonesian the first to try the time machine. To explore to the past. He knew Bagas was the only one anyone, other than himself, who believed his father could build a time machine.
Ciara also knew, that since a few months ago, she Bagas' gaze felt odd. Bagas gaze be meaningful. A look that conveys a message
the unspeakable.
At first Ciara didn't care about that look. for him, Bagas's gaze was the same as that of many another young man. Who looked at him passionately. Who want invite him to establish a more intimate relationship. Ciara didn't care.
But everything changed since a few days final. Her feelings for Bagas change. Ciara no fully understand when and how. However
he began to like thinking about the young man. Start imagine his face. Imagine her smile.
Imagine the look.
He felt comfortable around Bagas. Feel the shade that radiated from the young man's gaze.
Feel the warmth that envelops the soul.
Feel the beauty in togetherness.
Her feelings became erratic as soon as he did realized that soon Bagas would try the machine time. Bagas is going to the past. I don't know why, Ciara feeling unwell.
There was fear in his heart. Afraid if Bagas doesn't will return!!
But why won't Bagas come back? He just will leave for a few hours. And as said father, there should be no problem.
However, only moments after Bagas left, a problem occurred. Bagas' communicator is broken. Apparently, he couldn't hear what Ciara was saying and Danan Jaya Professor.
"They have now entered Tarik, mother." Saying Professor Dananjaya woke Ciara from her reverie.
The girl nodded. Even if it's not very clear, they can follow Bagas' adventures, by hearing what is said. As well as Bagas, Ciara and her father also understand and are fluent ancient Javanese.
Ciara and professor Dananjaya were still in the car van in the plantation area not far from Tarik in the Regency Sidoarjo, East Java. They monitor through communicator.
They know that Bagas met someone who was badly injured in the forest. Someone who confesses named mada. Someone who then asked Bagas to convey information about plans cout d'etat.
They both knew that Bagas had entered the stall pottery seller, on horseback and finally enter Pull.
"There's one thing I don't understand daddy" Ciara said.
"About Madam. Was he who was then called the Elephant Mada?But, if he then becomes Gajah Mada, why did he die in the forest?"
Professor Dananjaya shrugged his shoulders. "If in Majapahit there was someone named Mada who later being Gajah Mada, certainly he is not someone who died in the woods. That will be Gajah Mada for sure Another mada, someone Bagas hasn't met yet."
"But daddy," Ciara said. "According to history, Mada yang then known as Gajah Mada it was originally is a bekel, the leader of the Bhayangkara troop. Meanwhile, Mada, whom Bagas meets in the forest, is also a member of Bhayangkara, right? What a coincidence
Strange."
"You're right, miss. There's a strange coincidence." Professor
Dananjaya was silent and listened. "Apparently Bagas and his entourage had entered the headquarters Bhayangkara. Let's hear what's going to happen…"
