32. Suppressed FeelingsMr. Mahmud came out of his room; he was about to have dinner with his family. Except for his two dead sons. Romi died when she wanted to commit treason by planning to kill Mahmud for the inheritance. Meanwhile, his first child died because he was killed by Romi's evil plan. Everything was revealed because of Dayang and Rianti's story.Dayang and Rianti begged Mahmud for forgiveness and told him everything. They realized Romi's mistake, but they could not advise Romi to change. Romi scolded his wife and children, and he still planned to kill Mr. Mahmud.Finally, Mr. Mahmud forgave his son-in-law and grandson. Both were given a place to live and property for their lives. Meanwhile, Romi's problem had passed, and Mahmud did not question it anymore."Do you agree with Grandfather's decision, Bagas?" asked Mahmud, who was sitting and talking with Bagas.Bagas smiled. "Grandfather is a wise man. He must have made the right decision about Aunt Dayang and Rianti."Mahm

The television in Mr. Mahmud's house was on.As Mr. Mahmud watched television, the political battle and the state of the country were heating up. There were so many criminal cases, especially those committed by separatists. They want to be independent from a certain city. This chaotic situation made the economy experience problems, and of course, the businesses of all entrepreneurs were disrupted."What's on the news?" asked Bagas, who had just returned from school. He sat next to his grandfather."The country is in a state of chaos; everywhere workers are demonstrating and labourers are demanding promises from the leaders."Bagas watched the news on television and understood his grandfather's story. Bagas already knew that, but basically it was all a way to make the mission of taking over the country easier. It was all because of Bison, the general who planned to coup the country's leaders. He wanted to take control of the country, so he planned for the government's failure to take c

36. Who Killed James?Two men at the end of the street are waiting for something. They were wearing labourer's clothes."Get everything ready! We've got to make a scene!" said one of them."Don't worry, I've done my best to prepare. Our friends are in the ranks of the demonstrators. They will also make things even more chaotic.""Alright, make no mistake.""Of course!" The two waited, one of them wearing a bag.And, from the other direction of the street, A line of protesters came, many of them carrying huge banners. They had so many demands. One of them was to save the workers. They were all mostly workers who had been victimised by dismissals from many companies.The companies can't pay them anymore; they are in bankruptcy. So, big companies were forced to dismiss workers at a time when their companies were running a huge deficit.The two people who had been standing by joined the group. The group was all shouting, demanding justice at the president's office in the city center. The

In just one day, General Bison's quick policy of implementing Operation Danger One was already underway. Several people were specially arrested, all of whom were affiliated with the rebellion.The country became very chaotic; in several places, gunshots were heard. It was one day after yesterday that the government gave full power to Bison. He carried out a purge of separatists who wanted independence.For General Bison, it was very easy. He already had all the data from his well-kept intelligence. All this time, the rebels had been allowed to cause damage and commit crimes. Bison allowed it, and when a presidential decree was made for Operation Standby One, So, that became a strong reason for Bison to purge everyone affiliated with the rebellion.That, of course, had one purpose. Bison became the savior and solved all cases of crime and chaos. Bison must appear as a hero to the people, and for that, His goal became clear: to lead this country.One day, there were a lot of arrests. Bis

"Mr. President! You need to go into hiding for some time!" The president's spokesperson rushed after picking up an important call from the military forces. He got the call from General Bison. Tonight, the president had to be secured."What's going on? Is the situation unmanageable?" President Losara was shocked to hear the news from his assistant."The rebellion is being pushed back, and they are targeting you, Mr. President!"The explanation made the president frown; this was what Mr. Losara feared. During the cleanup operation, all those who caused chaos in the country would be tried militarily. No trial and no mercy. All will be ended by military means.And anything in warfare has no rules. It could be that the leaders of the uprising felt they had no other option but to fight the government. They seek revenge for all the deaths of their friends and family. And they would target the head of the leadership to avenge them."Did Bison say there was no alternative?" Losara asked his sp
