There Is No Such Thing As an Enemy

The trio of Bayu, Agatha, and Iwan is taking their investigation easy. The result is mediocre and ends up as one of many convincing conspiracy theories. By far, they create the best one and the most realistic possibility thanks to evidences they've gathered for a year. Meanwhile, this year is Indra's time to hatch his plan. Iwan gave Bayu a call on this election day. They will only vote for the urban village representative, as they are replaced every year.

"Hello Bay, who'll you vote for?"

"I vote for my neighbour next door. Her vision and ideas are rock solid. Her vision is 'nurturing Sinduadi into a better place'".

"That's a typical vision; everyone only wants continuation and progress. No change at all."

"But her missions are spot on, 'revitalizing the pedestrian area and metro stations to be comfortable, creating competent and transparent governance; ensuring stability, peace, and prosperity; using invincible light for insects lamps for household and public spaces to reduce light pollution.' That's it. But the latter is interesting, right?"

"Absolutely! Finally, someone takes light pollution seriously. Unlike our investigation… Blurred light balls, dim lamps, and caps don't work that well."

"So… Who'll you vote for?"

"No candidates are interesting to me. So I'll just vote randomly."

"Hehehe, you can't abstain here."

"Yeah… Oh, Indra is one of the candidates!?"

"What?!"

"Let's see, vision… develop Caturtunggal to the max. understandable… Missions, using invincible light for insects lamps for household and public spaces to reduce light pollution; creating a healing center in Caturtunggal; establishing justice; implementing drone tax for private owners, and making sure that people with disabilities and the elderly live on the first floor of any housing. Quite promising, he didn't promote himself during campaign season."

"Didn't expect that one coming; if I were you, I would vote for him. He's chill, and our investigation ended up being underwhelming."

"Good choice; maybe I'll bet on him. I agree with our investigation. Barely any seriousness, we goof around, bonding, and discuss with other theorists."

"Nice, alright then, I'll take my leave. It's time to look for a sale on the 'hood. See ya!"

"Thanks! See ya!"

Iwan still has plenty of patients to take care of, so a nutritious breakfast is necessary. He still has leftover rice in the fridge. It's time to make fried rice; the ingredients are simple. Eggs, rice, wok, and fire; for the extra, there are spring onion, oil, salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and some chillis. Turn on the stove with jet-fire mode and turn off the smoke detector. Coat the wok with oil and replace it with new oil. Fry some eggs and break them down into bits. Add rice, destroy them, and make sure each grain is separated. Clumped rice is illegal. Always move your food on a hot wok to ensure it's cooked thoroughly; high heat can create wok hei. Wok breathes life into the fried rice, as proven by the thick smoke during cooking. It smells good and wards off mosquitoes. Add seasonings, stir well, and shake the wok. With experience, less food will fall while shaking the wok. After the white part of spring, the onion goes first, and the green part goes last. After that, egg fried rice is ready to serve.

Healing is quick, but one patient takes quite a while. Handling cancer is no easy feat; without a crystal, Iwan's arm would've given up. After healing 12 patients, it is time to meditate. This meditation is a method to bless the earth and your wishes. Make sure the wishes are positive, such as a healthy family, peace in the world, and no more wars. But indulging yourself with your wishes is acceptable, such as reaching passive income, traveling across the globe, catching a bluefin tuna, getting a girlfriend, becoming rich, having abs, and so much more. Unlike Bayu's tingling legs, Iwan's legs are of galvanized bones and reinforced muscles. No tingling or cramps can stop him now. After 30 minutes of meditation, he has cleansed his body with the universe's energy. Since his energy vibration is significant, it can attract others with low energy vibration on rare occasions.

One of them is in the hallway, right in front of Iwan's doorstep. Followed by looking around and knocking on the door. Iwan opened the door, and Indra's weak vibration energy got repelled.

"Indra! Come on in, you want coffee?"

"Thanks, Wan. A coffee would be great."

"How's the voting?"

"Still waiting for the real count, but I won the quick count by 59 percent."

"Nice! I also vote for you. Your programs are good, especially about light pollution."

"Thank you! You follow the issue as well?"

"Yup, laron is a good snack, but when ampal and cockroach got attracted. You're done; either you turn off the light and wait for them to leave or destroy them on the spot."

"I ever heard that you apologized to a plant before cutting its branches off, but maybe you're not that magnanimous."

"When it comes to pests, like cockroaches, paper wasps, and rats, I don't mind sending them straight to heaven."

"Do you accept EMS?"

"EMS, airmail, naval vessel, you name it… Here's your coffee."

"It seems counting from seven really makes us friendly now, huh?

"I guess so. Your energy is quite low in frequency. You want to get better?"

"Oh yeah! I forgot to ask you; I want to join your healing organization to heal myself."

"I see, but be careful with this knowledge. Your life will be under so many tests and challenges. If you misuse this knowledge, you can no longer heal. Instead, you hurt others. You start from the bottom, basic class. It's quite expensive, it lasts two days. Once you follow the class, open your heart, eyes, mind, soul, and body to the fullest. Are you ready?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, let me test you. I will heal you first while listening to this chant."

"Okay, go ahead."

"I send energies, but you're unreceptive… Hey, why are you floating in the air?"

“Gdeyhfbveahfeubayrwyfhyvchnhrkwvbnlkjaywruortw.”

"Alright then, let's turn off the chant."

"Oh, what happened?"

"You float on the air and speak gibberish. There's something inside you that forbids you to attain this knowledge. Good thing you met me; had you met my master, you would've vanished into thin air."

"How do I remove it?

"I'm not an exorcist, and shaman would be too risky. I'm sorry… I can't help you with this one."

"No problem, I'm sure it'll be just fine. Plus, it just doesn't make any logical sense."

"Keep one thing attached to your mind; always believe in what you can and cannot see. But don't let what you can't see deceive you from logic and facts."

Wok hei, translated as 'breath of a wok,' is a distinct charred, smoky flavor from stir-frying foods over an open flame.
