2026-03-13 18:03:44Zaqqy immediately slid down from the large tree and turned to look at it. He was truly shocked as he looked around and saw that there was no one else there. The rain began to subside, and the sky cleared up again.
Brrrrgj... "Aaa...." he panicked. Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Zaqqy stared in shock, forced to hug the banyan tree trunk with both hands. However, the tree moved with him, making Zaqqy even more confused and frightened. "Huh?! What is that?" While he was panicking, his gaze fell on a light that suddenly appeared from the old banyan tree. The atmosphere changed drastically, the place that had been bright was now pitch black again. "Young man..." "Ah!" Zaqqy gasped in surprise when he saw a man with an ancient appearance standing in front of him. Zaqqy pointed at the figure with a trembling hand. "Where... and how did you get here?!" he shouted in panic. "Hahaha!" The inhabitant of the old banyan tree finally revealed himself. He laughed as he sat cross-legged in front of Zaqqy. He was tall and large, transparent, wearing all black clothes with a golden cloth as a belt, and a reddish headband. He smiled slightly, then extended a finger to touch Zaqqy's forehead. Zaqqy wanted to back away, but his body felt stiff. Suddenly, a sense of calm came over him as warm energy flowed from the touch. “Call me Ki Braja. I am the inhabitant of this ancient banyan tree. I have just channelled my energy into you. You can feel the difference in your own body now,” said Ki Braja with a faint smile. Zaqqy swallowed hard. He realised something and began to feel the difference in his own body. "I... I don't feel any pain anymore? What did you do to me? Your name is Ki Braja?" he asked, touching his own body, a look of surprise and joy on his face. "Yes. I healed your wounds. Otherwise, some of your bones might have been broken. Consider it a reward for doing a good deed by helping that woman. I can see everything," Zaqqy remained silent for quite some time after the figure introduced himself. His chest still felt tight, as if the memory of what had just happened was still replaying in his head. He stared at the old man standing before him, utterly bewildered. “Ki… Braja?” Zaqqy murmured softly. The old man gave a faint smile, one whose meaning was hard to fathom. His gaze was sharp, yet did not appear malicious. On the contrary, there was something calm and profound in his eyes. “People used to call me Ki Brajadita,” he replied in a deep yet gentle voice. Zaqqy furrowed his brow. The name felt unfamiliar to him. “Why… am I here?” asked Zaqqy. “Wasn’t I just…?” His sentence trailed off. The image of Rinto's face suddenly appeared in his mind. What Darwin's men had done to him still felt like it was happening. Their kicks. Their relentless punches. His body unable to fight back. "Damn it!" Zaqqy clenched his fists unconsciously. Ki Braja noticed the change in his expression. "You almost died," said the old man calmly. Zaqqy fell silent immediately. He looked down for a moment, trying to remember what he had just experienced. The pain in his body still lingered, even though his body no longer felt injured. "Why...?" Zaqqy muttered softly. "Because you are weak," replied Ki Braja without hesitation. Those words pierced Zaqqy's ears. He immediately raised his head. "Weak?" he repeated softly. "Yes, you are weak!" Ki Braja took a few steps closer. "If you were strong," he said slowly, "no one would dare treat you like that." Zaqqy lowered his head again. Those words made his chest feel heavy. "If I were strong?.." In his mind, the image of Rahayu trying to fight Darwin in that room reappeared. The girl was scared, but she kept trying to fight back. And himself? He was the one who helped, yet he was almost killed, unable to fight back. Unable to protect anyone... Zaqqy's hands clenched into fists again. “If I were strong…” he murmured again, barely audibly. Ki Braja looked at him calmly, as if he already knew what the young man was thinking. “I can give you strength, young man,” Ki Braja said suddenly. Zaqqy turned his head immediately. “What? Strength?!”

They asked in unison. The eight women looked puzzled.“It’s nothing out of the ordinary; I think it’s a matter of business rivalry. That’s the preliminary assessment from my bodyguard,” said Stella, then turned to Zaqqy. “Right, Zaqqy?”“That’s the most likely scenario, Young Lady,” replied Zaqqy, his face expressionless. He didn’t even glance in the direction of Stella’s friends, who were watching him intently.“Right then, let’s wrap up today’s discussion. There are a few things that got put on hold because I wasn’t here yesterday, weren’t there?” suggested Stella.Her friends nodded. The conversation began, punctuated by occasional laughter. Several women there kept glancing at Zaqqy, admiring his dashing and aloof appearance. Before they knew it, two hours had passed. The meeting came to an end and they began to disperse.“Stella, I’d like to have a quick word. Could you ask your bodyguard to step aside for a moment?” whispered Steffi, winking.“Sure,” Stella smiled faintly b

Dwi Toro cursed in pain. He quickly got to his feet, clutching his chest, which was throbbing with excruciating pain. Zaqqy rushed after him, but Dwi Toro was quicker to get into his car and immediately put his foot down to make a getaway.“Bloody cheek!” Zaqqy cursed. He returned to his car and was startled. “Goodness me, Miss! I’m surprised to see you here,” Zaqqy said, shocked to see Stella had moved to the front seat. “Should we chase after him, Miss?” he asked, immediately changing the subject.“No need. I don’t know him. What was his motive for attacking us? Was he targeting you, or what exactly did he want?” Stella asked in return, her tone probing.“I don’t know either, Young Lady. Perhaps he intended to attack you, but since I’ve been working with you, I thwarted his plan. If someone like you is attacked, that’s nothing out of the ordinary, is it? You come from a distinguished family; there must be business rivalry amongst you.”Stella adjusted her sitting position and faste

“We don’t seem to know you,” Zaqqy said firmly. “Why have you stopped us?” he asked, puzzled and suspicious.Dwi Toro simply stood there staring at Zaqqy, studying the young man’s hands. He could sense a different aura emanating from them. Dwi Toro then reached out his hand, making Zaqqy even more wary. Zaqqy shifted his body to the side, looking around, and only then realised one thing: the place where they had stopped was a very deserted street.“It seems I was brought here without realising it. Who is this man?” Zaqqy wondered to himself, continuing to watch the stranger in front of him warily. Before he could find an answer, Dwi Toro immediately lunged at him. Thud!Thud!Zaqqy, who possessed the Brajamusti technique and the power of Ki Braja, reflexively parried Dwi Toro’s flurry of blows. He crossed his arms to defend himself.However, Dwi Toro’s speed was not to be underestimated. He unleashed a flurry of kicks towards Zaqqy’s chest and stomach. Once again, Zaqqy managed

Dwi Toro smiled faintly. He could sense a very powerful aura ahead of him. A white car sped off as the lights turned green. Dwi Toro immediately pressed the accelerator; he didn’t want to be left behind.“You can’t be left behind. Your energy, your power… it’s really piqued the curiosity of the Suro Menggala group,” muttered Dwi Toro. He was absolutely determined to track down Zaqqy right now.Meanwhile, Zaqqy was driving at a fairly high but steady speed. Stella, sitting in the back seat, was focused on her mobile phone. “Hello, Beb? Yes, it’s me again, on my way to the restaurant as we agreed. A few meetings will also be held shortly. I’ve just been informed that the meeting is at the AD Hotel because I have to stand in for Papa today,” said Stella on the phone.Zaqqy remained silent, listening as his employer spoke on the phone.“Oh, by the way, I’ve also got a personal bodyguard. I also need an assistant to handle some of my work later—someone who’s definitely an expert in the

Jefri looked very pleased, then quickly left the place.Zaqqy carried on walking. As he already knew where his office was, he walked briskly towards the lift and went up to the third floor. It turned out that Stella had just come out and spotted him arriving.“Get yourself ready, will you? I’ve got an appointment at the restaurant today,” said Stella.“Right, Miss,” replied Zaqqy.He went straight into his unlocked room. As soon as he got inside, he saw a card. Zaqqy smiled slightly; it turned out his room door didn’t use a regular key, but an access card.With a quick movement, he immediately freshened up. Upon opening the wardrobe, he saw the aide’s uniform—a neatly folded white jacket. Zaqqy furrowed his brow and shook his head.“Why is the jacket white? An aide’s uniform should be black. That’s so strange. Ah, never mind, there’s no other choice,” he muttered.Zaqqy immediately put on the uniform. He looked very dashing. He clipped a communication device to his ear, then chec

Zaqqy left immediately after saying his goodbyes. Mr Imron and Mrs Sri gazed quietly at their son’s back until he disappeared around the bend in the road.There was a sense of heaviness in the air, knowing that Zaqqy was going off to work and would not be returning for an indefinite period.“Watch over my son wherever he may be, O Allah,” Mrs Sri said in her prayer. Once Zaqqy was out of sight, the two of them looked at each other and clasped hands.“Trust our son. Be confident that Zaqqy will be all right and that he will do well at work too,” said the husband, trying to reassure his wife. The woman merely nodded slowly. Meanwhile, on the road, Zaqqy reached into his pocket. He looked at the money he had saved from working for the past few days.“Will it be enough to get there? I think so. A thirty-minute journey isn’t too far. I could take a taxi... oh, no, that’s out of the question; taxis are too expensive. Should I just take an online ride-hailing service? But I haven’t downlo
