Mbah Siti, the old lady who always appreciates Bu RT, starts a conversation. "Tonight is a beautiful night. This is a great time to share the ancient stories of our village."
Everyone agreed, and Mbah Siti continued. "Our Hometown has a rich history, full of stories of legends and wonders. There's one story told by our ancestors about a mysterious window in this village."
Ms. RT smiled hearing him, knowing that the story about the window was part of a secret that only she knew. "I've heard about that story" he said. "But, what do you know about that window?"

Ms. RT felt her heart flutter. I can't wait to hear more about this story.
Salim, the young man who helped Ms. RT with the lights, also spoke. "There is also a story about a woman who appeared in the village's past during the 1962 Asian Games. The woman had an incredible knowledge of the future, and many believed that she had supernatural powers."
Ms. RT smiled faintly, knowing that she was the woman referred to in the story. "I know the story well. I am the woman who appeared in that past."
Everyone around the campfire was shocked to hear Bu RT's confession. They looked at him with their eyes wide open, and some of them wondered if it was just a story.
The village elders fell silent for a moment, digesting this incredible information. Finally, Mr. Joko, the ever serious farmer, said, "This is an amazing story, Ms. RT. Can you share more about your past experiences?"
Ms. RT nodded. "of course. I arrived in the past during the 1962 Asian Games. At that time, Jakarta was a busy and vibrant city. I see a magnificent stadium and passionate people supporting their athletes."
Mbah Siti added, "This is a time when Indonesia is a proud host, and the spirit of unity is so strong."
Ms. RT continued, "But I also realized that this village is a very different place than I know it. Although it still has the same characteristics, there are significant changes in urban planning and infrastructure."
Salim took a deep breath. "This is truly an amazing story. Have you ever tried to change the past, Ms RT?"
Ms. RT shook her head. "I chose not to do it. I feel that such actions could have unforeseen consequences. Instead, I prefer to observe and understand the past to appreciate our history and traditions."
Everyone respected Ms. RT's decision, though it was still mesmerized by her power. They knew that he was an inseparable part of this village, and his presence had brought a lot of happiness and wonder into their lives.
