5. Acquaintance
Four years ago
A painful year for Beno. Seeing his parents killed without leaving a trace. The government feels very lost, because they both are the most productive professors. Has made various discoveries, and one of the most famous is the neuron transmitter. Which is very helpful for law enforcement, to handle murder cases.
Papa
My Dear, never give it and show this necklace to anyone
Papa
And remember why your name is Beno? Beno in the Javanese language means Flood. I want one day you can become a manifestation of the meaning of Beno. Let everyone also feel the pain
Beno
Why are you talking like this is the last day we gather?
Papa
Dad and mom will go on business trips abroad. There will be technology transfer from Indonesia to America.
Papa
This job will take a while, so don't miss us
Beno
Why are you acting strange?
Mama
Trust me, we will meet again
Mama
Mama and Papa should take a leave
Papa
Don't forget our message
Three days later, there was a report that Professor Beno Kartosuwiryo and his wife Asri Benowo Wati had died in a plane crash from Ukraine heading to England.
The point where changing Beno's mindset in seeing the World. Which led him to become a man full of anger
Armin
Ben, look at this file. This Moster was a researcher who helped your father in conducting Neuro transmitter research. He even made the emitter to receive signal waves from the brain, so they could be converted into digital signals.
Beno
Why do important people end up like this?
Armin
See the next page. Information from our spies in China said, Prof. James Wang is doing research in Wuhan.
Armin
What surprised me most was that they were doing research on genetic mutations in gamma waves.
Beno
We should not over-assume
Beno
Angelica said that tomorrow we have a meeting with Prof. Ling from Beijing. So please keep this creature a secret from everyone. If needed just say that this creature has been burned, to maintain the spread of the virus.
Beno
Why suddenly I remember what papa said back then
Beno looked back at his necklace, there was seen a small sculpture bearing 55-83-33-21-09-1
Beno walked to the old warehouse in the basement. He looked at the old table where his father used to work.
He saw a computer that still seemed to be functioning. With the hope he could see old photos of his father and mother. Beno tried turning on the computer. Plug in the power cord, and after pressing the power button, the computer is still functioning.
On the computer screen a command prompt that says "who are you" appears.
Beno
Ah really, he still doesn't trust his own child
He wrote his name, "BENO".
Then again the writing, "the meaning of your life".
Beno
Now you want to play with me?
Beno
For this one I always remember Dad
Beno
My name is taken from the ancient Javanese language which means "flood". Isn't that right, Dad?
A message appears on the screen
Dear Beno in the future
If you have seen this, it means that we are already in a different realm. Papa is proud of you because every word you say you always remember.
Papa
Sorry for leaving you too soon
Papa
Papa doesn't have much time to explain all the things that your mother and I have gone through.
Papa
Too many greedy humans around us. Keep an eye on our every move.
Papa
And maybe want to kill us on the spot.
Papa
Son, I left this necklace because I'm sure you will be able to "flood them with something we call love".
Papa
The key that you must always guard is your heart, son
Papa
As long as you don't lose it, your path to happiness will get closer
Papa
Your mother cried on my lap, had no words to share with you.
Papa
She loves you too much
Papa
And my last message, the number on the necklace is the key to open encrypted files on this computer.
Papa
They have come, daddy must hurry
Beno cried lamenting his fate so pathetic
To solve all this mystery
Beno
Which file is meant by father
There is a folder that says "Family". When trying to open, the file has been encrypted. Then Beno entered the number on the necklace. A notification appears that reads the length of time for decryption. The time needed is one day.
Beno decides to return to Amelia's house to rest.
Saraswati
Ben, tomorrow Prof. Ling will come here to discuss this further.
Beno
I got word from the government about that. So you need to calm down
Saraswati
Why do you look like someone who just cried?
Beno
I remember my parents
Beno
Today is her wedding day
Saraswati hugged Beno very tightly. Without realizing they both shed tears. Not many words spoken from both. They looked at each other in sadness.
Beno
Because your name reminds me of my mother
Saraswati
As long as you're happy, why not. But, you may call me wati if only the two of us are in the room.
Saraswati
Oh c'mon, don't start it again
Saraswati
It's better when you smile
Saraswati
Yeah you should go to rest
Beno
Thank you for understanding
Jako
Mak, there's a good news for you...
Beno walked away from Saraswati, while wiping her tears. And Jako as usual, told the events that afternoon with great enthusiasm.
Amelia was very happy to hear this encouraging story, and again Jako received a loving punch from Saraswati
That afternoon became a distinctive memory for Beno. Because he is grateful to get a new family that always makes him happy.
