Mystery of Bu RT
The Japanese Occupation of 1942

In the quiet of a gentle night, the trees of the jungle still cried out in the song of their leaves swaying gently in the breeze. The full moon shone upon the earth with its silver glow, creating a mysterious sparkle on the calm surface of the river. On the silent bank of the river, an old woman dressed in Betawi-style clothing sat quietly, her gaze focused on the flowing water.

He is Rahmah, better known as Bu RT by the residents of his village. Ms. RT has a rather unique appearance: her white hair has faded, hinting at advanced age, and her wrinkled face implies a long life experience. Despite his advanced age, his eyes remained sharp, like two stars on a dark night. And most striking of all is the presence of a window behind it, which is always half open, no matter what the weather is like.

The calm night atmosphere felt so familiar to Ms. RT. He has lived in this village all his life, and as the head of RT, he has always been a figure sought by villagers when they have problems or questions. For him, the village is everything.

However, that night, something extraordinary happened. As he stared at the flowing water in the river, moonlight illuminated the window behind him with a brighter-than-usual light. The window began to shake like water hit by a stone. Ms. RT felt strange vibrations all over her body, as if she was being dragged into a mysterious flow of time.

He felt himself lifted off the ground and pulled through the window. His body crossed space and time at an astonishing speed. At once, he felt himself hovering over Batavia, the city he used to love, but at the moment, there was something different. The air felt thick with tension, and the sounds of gunfire rang out in the distance. He realized that he had gone back in time, just as the Japanese Occupation began in 1942.

Ms. RT was shocked and confused. He saw the city he knew well turn into a city besieged by the Japanese army, and his name was changed to Djakarta. He was speechless, observing this drastic change in confusion.

At that moment, a young man appeared nearby, looking so frightened and tired. The young man stood under the full moonlight, and his face looked pale by the uncertainty. He said, "The Japanese gentlemen have come. They took over this city cruelly. We all live in fear."

RT's confused mother tried to ease the young man's tension. "Don't worry, young man. We have to stay strong and fight for a better future."

The young man looked at Bu RT with great expectation. "Do you have a plan, grandma?"

Ms. RT smiled gently, trying to give some encouragement to the young man. "Of course, we'll find a way out together. But now, we have to hide. I have a safe place in my village. Come on, follow me."

The two of them crawled slowly across the dense jungle. The sound of their footsteps was barely audible, and only the rustling of the leaves broke the silence of the night. RT leads steadily, like an experienced leader.

When they arrived at Bu RT's village, they found a safe hiding place. They were warmly received by the villagers who were amazed to see the arrival of Bu RT with unknown youth.

However, when Bu RT and the young man were sitting under a large tree in the middle of the village, Bu RT felt his confusion suddenly increase. He realized that he had brought this young man from the future, and he did not know how to return it.

"I'm sorry, young man," Ms. RT said in a hoarse voice. "I don't know how to help you get back to your time."

The young man looked desperate. "But how can I survive here? I have no family or friends at this time."

Ms. RT looked at the young man with empathy. "I'll take care of you and help you survive. We are a family here."

As he turned to return to his home, the young man asked, "What do you see, grandma?"

Ms. RT smiled gently. "I saw a window that took me back to the past. I'll have to go away for a while, but I'll be back to help you."

With mixed feelings, Ms. RT stepped back into her house. He knew that there was a big task waiting for him in the past, and he was ready to deal with it. A big surprise was waiting for him, and he had a deep curiosity about what would happen next.

With a heart full of curiosity and unwavering courage, Ms. RT stepped into the window that had taken her into the past. He felt that strange tremor back around his body as he passed through it. Suddenly, he felt as if he was sucked in by a powerful current of time, like rushing water.

When Bu RT arrives back in the present, he realizes that the window is one of the unspeakable wonders of the world. It was not just an ordinary window, but rather a portal that connected various time periods. And now, he had control over that power.

With respect to his village and the young man who had been a part of it, Bu RT decided to use the power of the window to help them. He returns the young man to his future in the hope that he will find his lost family and friends.

But Ms. RT knew that there were other problems she had to deal with. He goes back in time, this time to see what really happened during the Japanese Occupation of Batavia. He wanted to gather valuable information and lessons that could help his village in the future.

As he moves through time, he witnesses various important events that occurred during the Japanese Occupation. He saw the tension and suffering experienced by the residents of the city. However, he also saw their courage and determination to stay united and fight the invaders.

On one of his trips, Ms. RT even met a young man who led a local resistance movement. They spoke at length about their desire for freedom and independence. The young man gave a new spirit to Bu RT, and he knew that he had to bring this lesson and inspiration back to his village.

When Bu RT finally returns to the present, he brings with him valuable knowledge about his village's past. He shared those stories with the villagers and the young man he had helped. They all listened attentively, absorbing the lessons and passion from the past.

However, the biggest surprise came when Bu RT visited the window once again. This time, there was a mysterious message that appeared before his eyes. The message read, "Time to end your journey." Ms. RT did not know what the message meant, but she felt that the power of the window had reached its limit.

With a heavy heart, Ms. RT closed the window forever. He felt sad to release the power that had brought him to the past and helped his village. However, he also knew that he had accumulated knowledge and experience that would bring positive change to his village.

Kampung Page finally returned to peace, with a deeper understanding of Bu RT and greater respect for him. They realize that infinite power must be used wisely, and that peace and unity in the community is the most precious thing.

And while that window may have closed, the story of Ms. RT and the mystery behind the window will stay alive in their memories, as a reminder of the power of curiosity, courage, and wisdom. Ms. RT, the timekeeper, will always be remembered as the village hero who has brought great change into their lives.
