Mystery of Bu RT
Reformation Period

The light of the sun shines brightly in the blue sky as the young children of Kampung Page get ready to travel to the historic past. They have decided to use the Bu RT window as a time portal to explore the Indonesian Reform period, a time laden with historical events and struggles.

As they looked at the window that was always half open, darkness seemed behind it, calling them to step into it. A gentle breeze carried the scent of wet foliage, filling the air with a sensation of mystery. They know that this journey will take them to a past they have never seen.

The young men, Yanto, Rini, and Budi, looked at each other with mixed feelings of joy and worry. They dressed modestly, carrying small bags containing supplies and equipment they might have needed in the past.

"We're ready?" ask Yanto, the bravest of the three.

Rini nodded, her face reflecting the spirit. "We must be careful and not intervene with history. Our only purpose is to witness the events."

Budi, who is always more of a thinker, adds, "True, we must not change the past or create greater damage. We just want to learn."

They took a deep breath and carefully stepped through the window. Once they were on the other side, the atmosphere changed drastically.

They arrived at a small village bustling with political activity and struggle. Red-and-white flags fluttered over houses and buildings. The sounds of oration and the cries of the masses filled the air. The young men had arrived in the midst of the 1998 Reformation.

They decided to hide in the bushes near the main road. The youngsters were trying to adjust to this different atmosphere.

Yanto, who had always been the leader of the group, whispered, "We need to find a safe place to witness these events."

Rini chimed in, "But we have to be careful not to get directly involved."

He pointed towards a small cafe on the corner of the street. "Let's go there. We can sit there and watch events from a distance."

They moved cautiously towards the cafe and ordered drinks. Meanwhile, the conversation of the youths and students who were in the cafe started to creep into their ears.

"Listen, they are talking about the importance of peaceful demonstrations" Yanto said.

Rini added, "They want to end authoritarian regimes and fight for better democracy."

While watching the meeting, Budi was impressed by the spirit of their struggle. "They're really brave, facing danger for a better future."

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded outside. They saw a large crowd heading towards the main road. They soon realize that this is an important event that will be historic. Surprise greeted them as they saw a young man standing amidst the crowd with a microphone in hand.

The young man, an important figure in the Reformation movement, began to speak excitedly. He motivated the masses to keep fighting for democracy and freedom. The youngsters watched history form before their eyes.

Suddenly, however, a group of security forces came up with violence. They tried to disperse the crowd with violence, causing chaos. The boys were caught in the middle of the riots.

"They need our help!" yanto Exclamation.

But, in the middle of the action, there was a huge shock that left them dumbfounded. One of the security forces turned and released his water gun towards them. Water sprayed on Yanto, Rini, and Budi, drove them from the action.

Back through the window, they felt drenched and returned to the present with mixed feelings. They have experienced important events in Indonesian history, albeit in unexpected ways.

"I've never felt such a spirit of struggle before" Rini said, trying to dry her clothes.

Budi chimed in, "But it also reminds us that history is often full of conflict and sacrifice."

Yanto, still shaken by the surprise, said, "We should be grateful for the democracy we enjoy now, and we should keep it from ever going away."

They returned to Kampung Lapangan with mixed feelings. The shock they had experienced in the past left a deep impression on them. The events they witnessed strengthened their resolve to safeguard democratic values and freedoms.

Rini pondered for a moment before saying, "We may be young, but we have a responsibility to safeguard and defend the rights and freedoms that previous generations have fought for."

Budi added, "This experience reminds us that history is not something separate from us. We also play a role in creating a better future."

The three pondered the thought while walking back to Kampung Lapangan. They know that past experiences will shape their view of the future, and that they must respect and safeguard the values they have learned.

When they returned to the village, news of their adventures in the past had spread. Residents of the village, including Ms. RT, are interested in listening to their stories. Ms. RT approached them with a big smile on her face.

"Things are, I hear you guys are taking an incredible journey into the past" Ms. RT said in a warm voice. "This is a very valuable experience. You've all learned something very important."

The young men retold their experiences passionately. They shared their experiences about the spirit of struggle they witnessed and the importance of democratic values.

Ms. RT nodded in agreement. "History is our best teacher. Your past experiences will help you become a better citizen and care about society."

Later, Bu RT explained how the power of the window used by some villagers to observe and understand history. They realize that history is part of their identity, and they must understand and appreciate it.

Young people feel more connected to their communities and the values they have inherited from previous generations. They feel they have a responsibility to continue the fight for democracy and freedom.

Ultimately, they realize that their past experiences have a much greater impact than they imagined. They have gained a deeper understanding of the history and values passed down by previous generations, and they are ready to help safeguard and protect the democracy they have enjoyed now.

With a newfound spirit, the young people of Kampung Page together with Bu RT and other villagers celebrate the values of democracy and freedom. They recognize that maintaining democracy is their common duty, and that their future depends on their efforts to keep those values alive.

As the sun sets in Kampung Lapaman, they feel stronger and more prepared than ever to face an uncertain future. They unite their determination to preserve and defend democracy, as a valuable legacy of their beloved past.
