Chapter 14 The Dangerous Puzzle

I regulated my breath, trying not to look stressed, because Angel had been enough stressed in her life.

“Angel, tell me how Angel got into the past.” I begged while diverting the conversation about the duel that would occur. 

Angel didn’t answer immediately. Her curling eyelashes blinked repeatedly, as if Angel was trying to think hard before finding the answer. 

“Uhmm… the key is the situation, the scent, and the right sensation Moi.” 

I tried not to smile. My mind focused on drinking coffee, there was the right scent and sensation. But from the look on Angel’s face, she seemed to be serious about what she said. The Angel’s answer was difficult to understand but she answered earnestly. 

“What do you mean Angel? Moi doesn’t understand.” I asked while putting my arm around her shoulders. 

Angel sighed. Her big eyes looked up, her head tilted to the left before answering. It seemed she was trying to remember something.

“Moi, Angel has wandered in the past, there was a time when Angel saw Angel’s predecessor… Then Angel was thrown away where the time of the world was created… We are a unity, Moi…” 

I was bristling to hear Angel’s answer. This girl turned out to have traveled far in the past, maybe even a time that was unimaginable to humans. A mystical, magical journey and only Angel knew. 

“It was Angel saw the void, dark, silent, empty… suddenly there was an explosion. from that explosion, Angel saw a little balls that getting bigger and then dividing… divide into a form else, there are  be the world, water, trees, humans, animals, various living things.”

I was stunned. All my life I had never heard an odd story like this, but from the look in her eyes and her serious face, Angel did not seem to be lying. Moreover the incident what I saw the other day, Mr Iskandar, a police commissioner, believed in Angel’s story.

I stroked her shoulder while asking, 

“What does this have to do with the sensation and scent, Angel?”

“Therefore, Moi. Why are we all connected, there is material in an object that brings us to the past, because we are part of the past, a time when we became one.” 

Before I finished understanding the sentence, Angel asked, 

“Has Moi ever felt that… Moi had ever visited somewhere…? Moi feel like had visited it but Moi had never been there.” 

“Oh, the term is Dejavu, Angel. Yes, Moi ever felt it, even when i arrived here i felt familiar with this place.” I tried to explain what Angel described by term. 

“Well, that’s Moi. Maybe our ancestors or predecessors ever been here, so the scent, the right sensation trigger it… because the blood that flow to our brain, to our nose, to our touch nerve, to our eyes… have been inherited that. The difference is that Angel is more sensitive because i go to the past more often.” Angel explained, her face looking down at the floor. 

I was silent. Angel’s explanation made me think of my father. Did father ever set his foot in this place? So I felt Dejavu with this place, because our DNA structure was same, so we connected. Actually my mouth had wanted to ask Angel about my father, but I held back,remembering Angel’s condition that was always in a depressed condition. After all, was I ready? If knowing my father had been… gone? 

I undo my intention to ask further and remembered my task that was still a lot. The risk that the worst thing may have happened to daddy and also Angel can experience a heavy trance. 

“Okay, Angel. Thank you for talking with Moi. It has late at night and also Moi has to make a report right away. See you later, Angel.” I laid Angel on her bed and then covered her.

I gave a wave of my hand before I closed the door. Angel just nodded while hugging her gonzo doll. 

I continued my work that night. Interaction with gifted ones in this place made me really burdened because they were complex with all the advantages and problems. 

And specifically for Vicko, I had to be unspeakable about Vicko’s manipulations in his psychological tests in the past, so he was declared a psychopath. 

The next morning, Mrs. Rose knocked on my door. I was surprised. Apparently I was caught by daylight. I opened the door of my room. Covered my mouth with my hand because I hadn’t had time to shower and brush my teeth. 

“Sorry, Mrs. Rose. Wait me in the dining room, please. I want to clean up for a minute.” 

10 minutes later I ran into the dining room. 

Mrs. Rose sat on one of the benches. When I passed her benches, Mrs. Rose touched my shoulder. 

“How was your sleep, Moi?” greeted Mrs. Rose graciously.

“Oh, I could only sleep for a few hours. I’m busy chasing the initial report to Lord Jonah. Wait a moment Mrs. Rose. I want to take my meal first.”

I took the tray and queued for breakfast. Mrs. Rose stood beside me, joining in line.

“Today you are free to observe anyone. The important thing is this afternoon you present what you got here. Lord Jonah asked for your presentation at 5 pm in the interrogation room.” 

“Yes, Mrs. Rose Please support me, so that my presentation can be accepted by Lord Jonah. Today I want to meet and observe Ronald.”

“This time let Dragono accompany you, Moi.” said Mrs. Rose.

Thump!

Just observing the little boy, why must be accompanied by the sword hand of Lord Jonah,a tall, big like King Kong, that Dragono? I didn’t observe Leman or Vicko, did I? I thought in my heart. 

Was not Mrs. Rose want to accompany me as usual? Was… that woman now keeping a distance from me? 

Silence covered both of us. We were each busy with our breakfast. It felt really awkward. Our sitting position faced each other, but as if the distance between us was thousands of kilometers away. 

Lord Jonah stopped at our table with his breakfast tray. 

“Rose. I’m going to the capital. I will be home in three days. Is there any entrusted?” 

My chest was pounding. Lord Jonah was going to the capital and after returning from there, he will hold another duel, as Angel said last night. 

“Oh, no, Lord Jonah. Maybe Moi, does anyone want to be bought from the city?” 

“Lord Jonah, Moi has a request for goods that I have left with my mother. All items are ready 5 days from now. Now Moi wants to observe Ronald first and then Angel. Come on, Lord Jonah.” I asked for leave to get away from both of these people immediately and back to my room.  

When I was in my room, suddenly a scene entered my mind. a real scene was similar to seeing a movie, or having a dream. Strangely it was in the morning and I felt like having a real dream. 

I saw clearly in Lord Jonah’s office. There were Lord Jonah and Mrs. Rose was sitting face to face. 

Suddenly they spoke, 

“This child is starting to be apathetic with me, Lord Jonah.” said Mrs. Rose. 

“She’s your responsibility, Rose. Keep an eye on her.” Lord Jonah said with his arms on the waists. 

“That’s why she was with Dragono this morning.” Said Mrs. Rose.

The scene and hearing suddenly disappeared. 

I was stunned. It happened again… 

Saw and heard their conversation. So behind me, Lord Jonah and Mrs. Rose continued to talk about me. 

“Moi.Shhh Moi…” Henry’s voice echoed in my mind. 

I focused my mind on telepathic communication with him, 

“Hi, Henry. How are you?” I greeted. 

“I’m almost crazy Moi, last night blood came out of my nose. There was a ruptured blood vessel in my nose because I had a strong telepathic battle with someone there. He tried to block the telepathic traffic that occurred when I tried to enter.” 

“What! How’s your condition now, Henry?” I asked worriedly. 

“It has not been bleeding anymore. My head seems to have been gripped at that time, the strength of his mind is increasing day by day.” said Henry.

“Who is he Henry? Why doesn’t he allow you to communicate with him?” I was choked with fear and confusion of this incident. 

“I don’t know Moi, they are many people. They named Alfa, Beta, Charlie and so on, doesn’t know how many people… but they are many. They disguise their identities with nicknames.” Henry explained via telepathy to me. 

“You must be careful Henry. What have you heard from them?” I asked curiously.

“They conspired to immediately carry out the plan. They said that plan A had to run immediately. I don’t know what was meant by plan A. They knew the frequency of my mind heard their telepathy, suddenly I was attacked. Moi, my life depended on you.” 

“Thanks, my best friend Henry. You have to be strong so that I’m not weak. Sorry, yesterday I yelled at you.” I said trying to cheer him up. 

“It is okay. Forget just what has passed. I am not easily offended, as long as you come to my cell today.” 

“Today I’m busy Henry. This afternoon I will presentation with my minimal ability. I was required to presentation by Lord Jonah. By the way, did you have breakfast?” I asked. 

“I’m… hmm… I haven’t had an appetite.” said Henry as if reluctantly.

“Oh, Henry. What shall we do next? You must eat. If you keep not eating and not drinking, how many days can you last? Angel said, in six days there would be another duel. There were two fighters coming. Leman also participate in the fight. Maybe that’s we can run away. I bring the gas jerry can and the key to open the speed boat chain. You handle the guards. Your condition must be fit, Henry. Who knows we should run fast, or push a little with the guards.” I tried to get him excited. 

“Why must we push each other, Moi? They are trained soldiers. Ouch, Moi. Since I sat in the kindergarten, I never fought with anyone else. Most just giving argument, Physical fighting is not my specialty at all.” Henry protested. 

“Not my expertise either. When I was in school, I only pulled hair each other with my friend in junior high school twice. Even if we can escape, just the both of us. Ah… it would be good if I had the super ability to make my body invisible.” I said. 

“Gee… You watch too many cartoons, Moi.” said Henry as if exasperated. It heard in my mind. 

My smile widened. Indeed I admit my childhood passed by watching a lot of cartoons because of my favorite entertainment. 

“I get goose bumps. Running away from here is not something easy to do, Moi. Even if we manage to escape by speedboat, we might get shot at. If I could manipulate the mind of a visiting helicopter pilot, it might be more practical. So, we can sneak in. then… whir… whir…  we success with our escape.” 

“Shhh… Hen, Dragono approached me.” Dragono, the giant man came to me with his wide and fast steps. The sound of his boots was thudding and shaking on the floor. His big figure really intimidated me. 

“Why did you choose Ron for your visit, Kid?” said Dragono opening the conversation.

I really dislike this ‘Kid’ call. 

“My name is Moira, Mr. Dragono. It’s not a Kid.” I said while exhaling. 

Dragono looked at me intently,

“Hmm… You are really a Kid. Look at your small and thin stature like that. Your father who is an army should be ashamed to have a child like you. And I hope you don’t control me because you’re not my boss.” 

I inhaled,

“Moi mean, Mr. Dragono might have another more important job. Moi feels that accompanying Moi to observe Ronald and continue to Angel will be very boring for you.” 

Dragono folded his arms in front of his chest. 

“No. I was assigned to accompany you, Kid. You know that in the military, authority and obedience is number one. Even though I don’t like the command, I have to do it even if the risk is killed. My request is one. You have to focus on finding out how Ronald can be indigo. You have to uncover the mystery of that child’s ability, how it can be happen.” 

I smiled,

“Indigo is someone’s natural gifted since childhood, Mr. Dragono. Not the result of engineering or human creation.” 

Dragono’s expression looked like he was going to swallow me.

“Uncover that mystery!so that the military can have that ability.” he said as if impatient.  

“It takes time, Mr. Dragono. Moi must observe deeply about this Indigo phenomenon. Then why is the ability of indigo interesting to be learned by the military, Mr. Dragono?”  

“The gifted like Ron are very useful. So, if the military fights, it will be very easy to distinguish between enemies and friends. It seen from the aura of those who do evil will be immediately visible. Hiding behind a wall or a tree will be easy to found out of the aura it emitted. Moreover the ability to detect diseases obtained from the effects of indigo, and then distinguishes which foods are beneficial for the body, which are not.” 

“Because Ron has a developmental disorder, so he is hyperactive. Today Moi will try to enter Ronald’s subconscious, Mr. Dragono. Hypnotherapy makes Moi getting easier to spend more time. It’s just that Moi has to gain his full trust. This is where the need for a sincere heart from Moi, so that I don’t get mental blocking from Ron. Mr. Dragono, please I ask for help to be calm and your support when Moi will have therapy to Ronald.” 

I smiled at the two soldiers on duty at the guard post.

“Good morning. Moi wants to go to Ronald’s place.” 

One of the soldiers stood up and escorted me to Ronald’s room. 

“Please, Miss.” 

“Thank you, Mr. Rupert.” I replied after reading the name on the soldier’s chest. 

Rupert replied respectfully. 

“Hello Ron, good morning.” I said. 

Ronald was in bed. He was reading a book. Dragono followed me into Ronald’s room. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood in silence. Good riddance. 

“What do you read, Ron?” I asked. 

Ronald sat on his bed, a pillow supporting his back. I moved closer to Ron and sat beside him. I looked at Ron’s room that was clean enough. Thankfully, the cleanliness of the Chimera was apparently getting priority. 

“This is the story of an old fisherman, Sis Moi.” 

“Oh, Sis Moi also has read that book. Let’s read together. The sea is indeed extraordinary resources, isn’t it?” I said enthusiastically. 

“And the ocean waves are truly unlimited in strength.” Ron replied. 

“Ron, if you could. Would Ron to get ocean power? Later, Sis Moi will give the game, Ron.” I said, attracting his attention 

“Game of the sea, Sis Moi? Cool… I want it, Sis.”

“Okay. Ron tries to sit quietly, yah. Sis Moi borrows the book first, okay?” I took the book in Ron’s hand.

“Now, Ron closes your eyes. Ron’s head nod when Ron likes the sentence from Sis Moi. Imagine that Ron looks at a beautiful beach in the morning. It’s clean white sand. Various shells scattered throughout the coast. Tall palm trees sway in the wind. Ron runs toward the shore. The beach is shady and cool. The sun is hiding behind the clouds.” Ron closed his eyes, seeming to follow my instructions, imagining all my words, as evidenced many times he nodded. His lips also developed a smile. 

“The sea water was light blue, Ron’s pair of feet stepped on soft, wet sand. Enjoy your walk, Ron. Isn’t that beautiful, Ron?” 

“It’s Beautiful, Sis Moi.” said Ron. 

I glanced at Dragono. The big man folded his arms in front of his chest. His eyes are cold and watching me. 

“Ron feels calm on the beach. Try Ron takes a deep breath through the nose. Yeah, feel the freshness. There is peace. Ron exhales slowly…”

“Ron likes nature, coming in, getting more relaxed. Ron is at the beach, Ron more relaxed it is.”

I guided Ron slowly. I saw Ron’s eyes closed, on his lips a line of thin smiles appeared. Ron seemed to enjoy the condition. 

“Now, Ron hears applause from Sis Moi. Ron must obey what Sis Moi said. Does Ron understand? Nod Ron’s head if Ron understands. Every time Ron hears applause from Sis Moi, like this. So, Ron must obey Sis Moi.” I spoke while clapping. It seemed that Ron was responding to this process. He nodded when I told him to nod. 

Time was running, and Ron was in a calm condition, even though his eyes were closed he always followed the suggestion that I gave. 

“Okay Ron, it has started to be fresh now, yeah … it’s getting fresher. And from today Ron is calmer, the calmer your behavior, to be better. Yes… to be better. And on the count of three, Ron open the eyes. One… two… three! How’s Ron? Is your body Relax?” 

“Yes, Sis Moi. Ron feels fresher.” 

“Sis Moi asks to leave first, Ron. This morning is enough. See you tomorrow. Bye…”

“Bye, Sis Moi.” Ron replied while waving his hand. 

Dragono and I left Ron’s room and we chatted, standing in the middle room.

“What were you doing with that boy?” asked Dragono immediately.

“Moi attaches the anchor, Mr. Dragono. So that at any time Moi wants to ask questions, it doesn’t take long because Ron has been obedient to Moi. Moi attaches the anchor so that Ronald isn’t hyperactive, easily be controlled by Moi’s applause. If there is no anchor, Moi has to take a repeated approach that took a long time to treat Ron. Anchor is also useful so that Ron can sit quietly and talk to Moi. There Moi can enter the potential that Ron has. Ask the Ron’s past, then let him tell himself about what he experienced.” 

Dragono’s eyes looked flat. It seemed he understood the information from me.

“We support you as much as possible, there are some research materials that we have done also to them. You can make it for reference so that my data is also more complete.” 

“Data? What’s data, Mr. Dragono?” I asked curiously. 

“Later I can bring it in the form of a flash disk. We need a lot of discussion about this, Kid. If you need internet access, you can ask Jeff. Remember, what you access is monitored by him. So don’t be foolish.” said Dragono, the look in his eyes looked terrible to me. 

“Thank you, Mr. Dragono. Last night Moi had asked to be open the internet access by Jeff for taking references as material for Moi’s work. After this we go to Angel’s room. I beg for Angel, Moi needs calmness. Angel is easily depressed.” I said slowly and softly. 

Angel’s room was next to Ron’s room. I slowly opened the door. 

“Morning, Angel.” I greeted. 

Angel did not respond, her eyes stared straight at the wall. I saw my orange scarf lying on her bed near the pillow. 

“How was your sleep, Angel? Did you sleep well?” I continued asking for her attention. 

“Moi is sitting here, Angel.” I glanced at Dragono. The man stood not far from me, his hands folded in front of his chest that is muscular.  

I looked at Angel. The girl’s face looked haggard and tired. Maybe last night after I asked for leave, Angel lacked sleep. 

I can understand. Angel faced a lot of pressure in the past and also torture from her father, moreover bullying from her friends. Angel became moody. 

“Have you had breakfast, Angel? Is it delicious to have breakfast today?” I said in a cheerful tone.

I had to know where Angel can get a comfortable place. 

In handling past trauma, I had previously hypnotized looking for a safe place.

Safe place for someone individually was different. Some liked mountains, some liked sea as Ronald, Childhood place, and mother’s carrying/hug, and so on. 

Like Ron just now, boy Indigo, his safe place was the sea that delivered calm waves. 

When had entered into a safe place, I would give the suggestion. Ron I gave motivation to calm down, so that his aggressiveness was muffled.

There was motivation to be champion, wants to achievement, inner calm, therapists guide and suggested to getting stronger, more active in achievement and achieving their goals. 

As I had practiced with my college friends.

 “Angel, Moi wants to be your best friend.” I asked her. 

Angel’s eyes flickered slowly as if pervading my words. Curling eyelashes seen to move slowly.

“Didn’t we become friends?” Angel asked back, her eyes fixed on the gonzo doll she was hugging. 

“Only Moi calls me Angel while others often call Angel as Curly… Moi appreciates Angel.” said Angel, hugging the doll tighter. 

“Maybe they call you Curly because Angel is beautiful, very beautiful and because Angel is unique and everyone has different gifted, Angel Taheytappi.” I said, mentioning Angel’s full name. 

“Even Moi knows Angel’s full name…” Angel said as if mumbling. 

I smiled. The data that was surrendered to me was always used by me to attract empathy. Even in a week Angel would have a birthday was also known by me and I bought a gift that I bought online yesterday when satellite internet access opened by Jeff. 

I hold Angel’s hand, Angel responds to hold my hand slowly and gradually hold my hand tighter.

“Is there something, Angel?” I asked in wonder, when her grasp got stronger. Angel’s eyes seemed to glance at my hand. 

“Angel can feel Moi’s happiness. How happy you and your family are… Ooh, Angel saw you in a soft sofa, green sofa, shade, family warmth, safety, good environment. Moi slept well there, even though your parents were busy working, cuddling your little brother.”

I was stunned. Through the tight hand grasp that happened, it turned out that Angel walked into my past, my childhood. I actually get an idea where Angel’s safe place can be found.

“Does Angel want Moi’s happiness? Angel, close your eyes. Be relaxed. Now imagine in a furniture store there is a soft green sofa. Imagine that Angel on the green sofa. Yeah, Angel feels the soft green sofa. Angel feels safe there.” 

Angel with her eyes closed seemed happy. Her lips formed a thin smile.

“Angel, every time you breathe in, you get more comfortable, ok. Feel peace in that place, Angel. Inhale slowly, exhale slowly. Feel peace when Angel took a breath and exhaled. And Angel’s feeling more peaceful. Deeper, Angel. Yah, enter more peacefully. Feel peace there, Angel.” 

“When you see a green sofa or a green thing, you remember… that Angel has had peace. Angel has a feeling of safety as well as happiness.” 

Angel’s tears slowly flowed down on her cheeks. Her tears were like crystal flowed down to her chubby and tan colored cheeks. Happy tears. 

I saw Dragono holding his chin. His expression seriously looked at us both in turn. I hugged Angel. Her body felt warm. I felt her warm tears trickling down my shoulders. Maybe Angel had not felt love for a long time.She was very thirsty for affection. 

Almost 2 hours I was in Angel’s room. 

I was pleased with the progress made. Angel seemed calmer and more spirited now. The look in her eyes seemed to sparkle, and her lips looked a faint smile. 

“Now Angel feels comfortable, don’t you? Do you want to watch television or listen to the radio? Moi has to go because Moi wants to complete Moi’s task. Okay Angel, Moi goes back first. See you later.” 

Angel blinked and wiped her cheeks.

“Yes, Moi. See you again. Thank you for being Angel’s best friend.”

When we came out of Angel’s room Dragono said,

“You’re great too, Kid. I’ve never seen Curly as calm as and smiling like that.” 

“Angel has been suffering for too long, Mr. Dragono. Throughout her life she was always overshadowed by fear and suffering. Just now Moi gave therapy so that her soul was at peace and her bitter past could be lost. Thank you for accompanying Moi, Mr. Dragono. Next, Moi will process the data first, Mr. Dragono.” I nodded and walked towards my room.
