I look at the old pictures.

Mother and father, in wedding attires. Me as a baby. Me holding baby Larasati.

Me playing the piano.

Us in the living room, for mother's birthday.

I put them all on the wall. It's been fifteen years since I've sold the house. Larasati is freer than ever. And I am here, stuck in my room. I bought this flat for nothing or so after the war. Rearranged everything, with ashtrays in every room. I change the wallpaper every now and then. Now I have flowers everywhere.

And the pictures.

They threw away a lot of pics, now that I think of it. But well, I don't really want to see the pre-war Ajeng. She seems dreadful and a nervous wreck.

I still am a nervous wreck, but I have way better hair.

And dirtier clothes.

I am a woman in a male dominated field, I don't have the time to bother enough. I'm stuck against the glass ceiling. It would worsen if I was taking the time to be dressed to the nine everyday. Chipping nail polish and smelly hair.

When was my last shower?

Did I have lunch today? Can't remember.

Light up a cig.

...

Better.

People at the Bureau say I'm gloomy. I only wear black and I don't groom myself like the secretaries or the telephone girls. I have too much work to care, y'know.

And the kids. Looking after Lara too.

Lots of work.

Ian says I should see a doctor because that's becoming concerning. That man is too kind for his own good. I've heard he's married with kids. Good for him. Good for the woman. Won't listen, though. I don't know any doc consulting during my waking hours, nor have I the desire to see one. I don't feel well, but not bad enough to see a shrink or something.

What, am I that displeased I need a lobotomy? AH! No.

I am just tired.

But well.

There is work to do and women to love. Work to do and family to look after. Work to do and groceries to buy. Work to do and cigarettes to smoke.

I should take a day off though. Larasati is playing tonight at the opera. The boys will be there too.

"Such a strong woman, raising her son, handling her job as an Assassin, coping with the death of her husband, yet you need to be wary of her. If Verlaine was called as the King of Assassin, she was called as the the Sun Conqueror AND the Queen of Assassin..."

- Ougai Mori, to Sato Mari

Raden Ayu Kartini

| 1 | 2 | ?

One of the most highly regarded Assassin in the world, Kartini, with a codename of 'Sun', is an elegant and calm woman. But don't be fooled, her sharpness and the heat of her own flames on dealing with her targets causing her to earn the title of "the Sun Conqueror"

Biodata:

Name : Raden Ayu Kartini Known as : Sun ; The Sun Conqueror Age : 26 (2012) Birthdate : 21 April 1986 Height : 168 cm / 5'5 ft Affiliations : Scarlet Fire [As the Main Assassin]

Ability : From Dark Comes Light

The ability, From Dark Comes Light, allows Kartini to generate flames from her fat. She can control the heat of the flame, ranging from a normal body temperature to those akin to the Sun. She is also immune to fire or heat, and her body temperature is significantly high. Kartini manages to develop her ability more, causing her to be able to spread her fire towards her weapon and her clothing, making it invulnerable to flames as well. This ability is able to be nullified.

"Her flames cuts harder than her dagger, and her dagger is sharp sharp. So heed my advice, Kyouka. If you ever see her, just run, and don't even bother to fight her..." - Chairil Anwar, to Kyouka Izumi

A/N : Haha, It's here! Kartini is done! If you check her name on the wiki, it will be written as 'Ajeng' instead of 'Ayu'. Thats because Ayu is a tittle she gained after marrying her husband!

Next, either Chairil Anwar or the Mori twins!

There's a man a the Office for Special Investigations.

I didn't join it from the goodness of my heart, nor am I seeking justice. Justice is a concept only the naïve can uphold in this fucked-up country. Justice is an excuse the powerful use to crush the powerless. Justice is the reason invoked for massacres and death.

If there was any justice, she would not have died this way. Like a dog sent to slaughter.

So no, I am not here because of justice. That's why it's annoying to witness that man talking about giving it back its real meaning and saving lives under its name. Is that justice to you ? I think is ingenuity.

That word fits so bad to his face.

He's always frowning. Or emotionless. Always in uniform, even at times we don't need ti, like when Ian invites us to drink after work or he comes at my flat to inquire about the cases i'm working on.

You're married to your work, are you ?

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

Well, work sometimes end up dying.

People die. Not work.

He doesn't know what I've seen. He doesn't know what i've witnessed. He will never know. He will live, and die, with this ideal of justice. Like Ian, biting off more than he can chew. I see the shadow of death looming over both of them. I saw what happens when people of power bit more than they can chew.

Everything in him is dark. Hair, jet black, skin, a deep brown, even his clothes are always grey or black. The uniform, not even accompanied with some kind of accessories like Ajeng's. The only color is his eyes. A bright orange, always focused forward.

He's my superior. A king in a king-less word. But he's not a king worth serving. Too naïve. Too focused. Too much of a loner.

I've tried so many things to break that shell. Jokes. Jesting. Seduction, sometimes. Everything. Anything.

Just prove me you're not a robot programmed with a false idea of what runs this world.

So many people stronger than him fell in my crutches. i've run a country for so long with a jingle of my bells. Yet in front of me I'm hitting a wall, and the one's cracking is not his face.

Instead it's the mask.

It's so annoying to be in front of someone who's resisting me completely. Always with those cold eyes and cold facts and the hands full of paperwork he handing me, go to work instead of acting like a fool, Mérénias. I am a fool. I was a fool. You are just too young to remember a time it was a compliment.

Why don't I ever see you crack ?

Just crack.

It's infuriating how inhuman you are. I should be the only one here. The only one not living.

I joke about your machine heart and you don't move a lid. I try the seduction methods that made kings unfaithful to their partners and you don't even look my way. Abyss, you have seen me bare, you have seen the cracks on my body, something I never showed to anyone in so many years, and instead of the fissures I wanted to see complimenting mine on your face you just pushed papers in my hands and turned away so I could have the time to dress up.

Stop playing around and work, you horny fuck.

I am not.

I hate how you break the mask through your own wall and yet it's the only thing you can see.

You're a naïve, emotionless, insentitive machine with a pretty face sticked upon it

You shouldn't be

I shouldn't be hoping you'd be

Anything else.

RADEN AJENG KARTINI // ACTIVIST

“She was a prominent Indonesian activist who advocated for women’s rights and female education. She was born to an aristocratic Javanese family in the Dutch East Indies. After wanting to pursue further education, she was rejected as Javanese women were barred from it at the time. She met various officials and influential people, including J.H. Abendanon, who was in charge of implementing the Dutch Ethical Policy. After her death, her sisters continued her advocacy of educating girls and women.”

Daya Tempa

mengingat beberapa tahun lalu, pernah di masa menyelesaikan skripsi dan menyiapkan ujian kompetensi. kejadian tersebut terlewati dengan baik.

kemudian, setahun lalu memutuskan sekolah lanjut pascasarjana, mencapai dititik ini kupikir, aku telah mempersiapkan dengan matang dan akan terlewati dengan baik pula.

sekolah S2 hanya perlu tau penelitian tentang apa, lolos tes TPA, lolos tes bahasa inggris kemudian lolos tes wawancara.

setahun memang terlewati dengan baik, saya tau persis mau melaksanakan apa untuk topik penelitian saya.

namun akhir-akhir ini, saya merasa bahwa pada jenjang magister tidak cukup hanya “mengerti topik penelitian” , lebih daripada itu adalah mental yang harus dipersiapkan.

daya tempa, akan segala sesuatu yang mungkin gagal karna suatu variabel yang kompleks.

gagal, lalu mengulang step dari awal.

gagal lagi, dilakukan pengulangan kembali, hingga tak terkira kegagalan yang mungkin akan dihadapi.

namun saya ingat nasihat Ibnu Qayyim

“orang yang tumbuh dengan mudah, ia tak akan merasakan apa yang dihadapi oleh mereka yang terbiasa dengan ujian”

ini tak berarti bahwa kita menginginkan ujian, Rasul tak menganjurkannya.

namun mentalitas orang yang mengalami kegagalan dengan berbagai tantangan akan terasa biasa walaupun diombang-ambing ditengah lautan.

untuk segala sesuatu yang telah diujikan kepada kita, Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal.

semoga, senantiasa mental kita bertumbuh.

semoga akan terbentuk mentalitas dari “kenapa aku diuji Allah?” menjadi “apa yang Allah inginkan untuk aku pelajari dari ujian ini?”

salam sayang,

Ajeng.

TW: mention of domestic violence

Larasati looks at the huge house we grew up in.

"So you sold it", she sighs. "Yep", I reply as I light up a cigarette. "Since you've got married and I am alone in here... I am almost never home so. Yes. I sold it. Don't worry though, I'm giving you all the money." "I can't accept, Ajeng..." "I don't ask your opinion, Lara. I have more than enough money for three lives of debauchery." "Can I?"

I hand her my cigarette to let her draw a puff.

"Who bought that stupid mansion right in the middle of the vampire district?" "Actually it's going to be a music and dance school. An eccentric thought the building was aesthetic enough. I've always found it grim but whatever floats his boat." "Mother and father wouldn't be happy", Larasati smiles as she gives me back my cigarette. "Who cares? They're deader than Death herself. And I like music, and you need the money." "I beg your pardon?" "Then beg", I answer shortly while starting to walking away. "Coming?" "Ajeng!"

She runs after me and takes my arm. My baby sister looks so pale under all of that make-up. If she thinks I don't know her husband is violent, she truly takes the piss out of me. I will save her from that gilded shitplace, damn, she is my only family now. Larasati is a good girl. Too kind for her own good.

Too delicate.

Fragile.

War has ended two years ago and her husband proves himself a skilled and zealous officer... and a brute. She is trapped now that she's a mother. The kids, twins, are under two, and she left them at home to the care of the nanny she secretly hires to run away from home when the beast is away.

However my sister is proud. We are the prideful daughters of the Uripnoputri family. Larasati would never admit she is in dire need of assistance.

But I know. I know her better than I know myself.

I know how to decipher her demeanour. Her slight limping, dark and thick eye makeup, lowered gaze, as silent as could be. Larasati has always been a bubbly girl, always singing, always dancing around... She is a mere shadow of her former self.

"I don't need money. My man gains enough for the family to live quite comfortably." "You don't need him though. You can be thriving by yourself", I argue. "I don't like him since he returned." "You don't like men in general", she giggles. "Baby I don't hate men, just all the things they do", I grin. "I think that this man isn't good for you. Listen to your sister for once..."

She sighs again.

"I can't leave with the twins..." "A good first step would be to accept the money."

Before her hesitation, I add:

"Do it to make me happy, okay?" "Fine", Larasati finally yields.

25 TAHUN KISAH SUKSES MERRY RIANA, WUJUD NYATA SEMANGAT JUANG SOSOK KARTINI

“Teruslah bermimpi, teruslah bermimpi, bermimpilah selama engkau dapat bermimpi! Bila tiada bermimpi, apalah jadinya hidup!”. Sebuah kalimat dari Raden Ajeng Kartini, tokoh pahlawan perempuan Indonesia yang telah mengubah hidup banyak orang, khususnya perempuan di Indonesia. Sebuah kalimat yang tidak hanya hidup di masa hidupnya beliau sekitar 100 tahun lalu, namun masih tetap menghidupkan semangat para Kartini Indonesia untuk terus bermimpi hingga hari ini.

Bicara tentang mimpi, lekat dengan Mimpi Sejuta Dolar yang telah mengubah hidup seorang Merry Riana. Kerusuhan Mei 1998 di Jakarta membawa dirinya terpaksa merantau ke Singapura untuk kuliah S1 di sana. Segala keterbatasan, ditambah beban hutang pendidikan ratusan juta, menjadi tantangan yang dihadapi. Saat ulang tahun ke-20, Merry Riana bertekad membuktikan bahwa dirinya bisa menjadi orang sukses sebelum usianya ke-30 tahun. Seperti yang RA Kartini juga pernah katakan, “Banyak hal yang bisa menjatuhkanmu. Tapi satu-satunya hal yang benar-benar dapat menjatuhkanmu adalah sikapmu sendiri.”. Berkat doa & kerja keras, kurang dari 4 tahun sejak lulus kuliah, Merry Riana berhasil melunasi biaya hutang pendidikannya dan mencapai pendapatan 1 Juta Dolar pertamanya di usia 26 tahun. Sukses membangun bisnis no.1 di Singapura serta menerima banyak penghargaan.

Segala pencapaian dan hidup nyaman yang ia sudah raih di sana, justru membuat Merry Riana tidak berhenti untuk meraih mimpi yang lebih besar. Saat ulang tahun yang ke-30 Merry Riana memiliki mimpi yang baru yaitu ingin Menciptakan Dampak Positif Dalam Kehidupan Jutaan Orang di Indonesia. Mimpi itu jugalah yang akhirnya membawa Merry Riana, setelah 16 tahun tinggal dan membangun Bisnis di Singapura, untuk kembali ke Indonesia membangun Merry Riana Group.

Saat ini, sebagai Entrepreneur, Investor dan Content Creator Merry Riana telah memberikan dampak positif di kehidupan banyak orang: lewat berbagai Puluhan Cabang Merry Riana Learning Centre di Indonesia, Camp, Ribuan Konten, Seminar, TV, Radio, Buku, Film, Lagu, Jutaan Followers Media Sosial serta membantu UMKM naik kelas melalui pendanaan dan juga pembinaan. Saat di ulang tahunnya yang ke-40 dan sampai hari ini, Merry Riana memiliki mimpi yang lebih besar lagi yaitu untuk bisa Menciptakan Dampak Positif Dari Indonesia Untuk Dunia.

Semua hal ini diceritakan oleh Merry Riana melalui sebuah tayangan singkat di Kanal YouTube Merry Riana berjudul ‘MERRY RIANA JOURNEY : IMPOSSIBLE DREAM, UNWAVERING FAITH & MIRACULOUS LIFE | 25 Tahun Dalam 11 Menit’. Dalam rangka Hari Kartini, melalui tayangan ini Merry Riana mengingatkan untuk siapapun yang membaca ini khususnya para perempuan Indonesia, “Jangan pernah menyerah dan berhenti mencoba, Fight Till The End And Never Give Up, karena kemenangan tinggal selangkah lagi”.

The Tale of the Golden Snail (a Fairy Tale from the East with Curse element in it)

Before going deeper, I want to say that CPC depictions is lacking eastern (Asia and Africa - and maybe southern America as well?) fairy tales that depicted on the media - the closest of the eastern tale depiction is the magic lamp from "Aladdin" which is from middle east asia. Jack finds the Braided Island that inhabitants with people with appearance that different than him, is also similar with how westerner see easterner folks [which either got amazed by their exotic appearance or horrified with them to point of being racist]. It's a shame IMHO because as someone from East, I want to say that Eastern Fairy Tales is a giant gem box that ready to be explored.. Especially from my own country, there's many fairy tales with curses on their story - like becomes animal (monkey, snail etc), petrified to becomes a stone (Malin Kundang) or born cursed (example, has face of a gourd). I like to introduce my own country and it's culture but without being posh doing it, slow and honest introduction by said my country as Batik Kingdom - islands based Kingdom from faraway place from the continent where Plaid-Pastel-Polygon Kingdom resides. I am headcannon-ing that Frederick reads fairy tale from faraway continent as well, based on ep 34:

Well, let's move on to next topic which is about the Golden Snail Tale!

Once upon a time, Daha was a prosperous kingdom under Prabu Kertamerta's reign (Prabu means a king in English). He had two beautiful daughters: Galuh Ajeng and Candra Kirana.

When these two princesses had come of age, a crown prince from the Kahuripan kingdom came to propose a marriage. Raden Inu Kertapati was a handsome, strapping crown prince from a prosperous kingdom, so Prabu Kertamerta welcomed him and accepted his proposal.

Despite Princess Galuh Ajeng being the eldest, Raden Inu Kertapati chose Princess Candra Kirana. It rose Princess Galuh's wrath. She plotted a devious plan to expel Candra Kirana from the palace so she couldn't marry Raden Inu Kertapati.

She sought an evil witch to cast a spell on her sister. She wished Candra Kirana became so disgusting that no one wanted to get near. Not long after that, the witch cast a spell on Candra Kirana to become a keong emas (a golden snail). Before she threw the snail into the river, she told the princess the curse could only be broken by meeting Raden Inu Kertapati. [Note: the curse is broken not by "True Love's Kiss" but could simply by meeting the beloved, this nice insight]

In another version of this tale, the one that cursed as golden snail actually a queen which got cursed as bad karma by bad mouthing a 'magical' golden snail that she founds at the street. I take the most popular version instead because the character's name fits better ("Kirana"). Kirana is my OC of my planned multiple chapters fanfic series, her summarized backstory as the following: A witch cursed her to becomes a golden snail every night and teleported her to far away place (similar with Thermidora's story) - the Male Monastery site.

Kirana meets Whitney and they're platonically becomes close - her ideal that every curse could be broken eventually leads Whitney to becomes a curse breaker [which very important as being the one that recognize Frederick's curse properly]. Meanwhile Kirana go to get more informations and money so she could return to her kingdom someday, by becoming a journalist/reporter. This will be important plot point later on

^ How I imagined Kirana looks like, with her kingdom's outfit - Batik - and blonde hair which similar with her curse. Credit of the art piece with the watermark on the upper part

One day, a poor old lady caught a snail on her fishing net. When she saw it was a beautiful golden snail, she brought it home and kept it in a crock (an earthenware pot). 

The next day the old lady went fishing. Unfortunately, she only caught a few fish. She was devastated because she could only buy a bit of rice. Imagine her surprise when she found plenty of food on her dining table. Feeling so hungry, she ate them without asking questions. Since this bizarre experience occurred every day, one day, the old lady pretended to go fishing. Then, she sneaked back into her hut and found a beautiful maiden cooked and cleaned.

She immediately confronted the maiden, who happened to be the cursed Princess Candra Kirana. As soon as the princess told her story, she became Keong Emas (golden snail) again. That's the beginning of the friendship between Candra Kirana and the old lady.

In the meantime,  the news of the missing princess spread throughout the kingdom of Daha. Feeling that she had no other competitors, Princess Galuh Ajeng tried her hardest to replace her sister as the bride of Raden Inu Kertapati. 

However, since Raden Inu Kertapati was deeply in love with Candra Kirana, he set off on a journey to find her. Knowing this, the evil witch shapeshifted into a crow and followed him. 

When the crow talked to him in human language, Raden Inu Kertapati was amazed. He believed it was a magical creature that could help him found Candra Kirana. So, he followed the crow's leads. He didn't realize that the crow led him further away from Candra Kirana.

One day, Raden Inu Kertapati met an elderly, who asked for some food. Being the kind person he was, the prince happily shared his food. It turned out that the elderly was a wise man; who knew the evil crow had tricked the prince. So, as a payback to the prince's kindness, he hit the crow until it evaporated into a puff of smoke. Then he told him where to find Candra Kirana.

Thus, Raden Inu Kertapati set off to Dadapan village. It was a long journey. Several days later, the prince ran out of provisions, so he approached the closest house to ask for water. Imagine his delight when he saw Candra Kirana was cooking in there. He rushed into the house, and their reunion broke the curse.

Soon the couple returned to the kingdom of Daha and told the misfortune of Candra Kirana. Afraid of King's wrath, princess Galuh ran to the woods. That's the last time anyone heard of her.

In the end, Raden Inu Kertapati and Candra Kirana lived happily ever after. They invited the old lady to live in the palace and took care of her.
