Coffe Ritual

Bang!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFyC5dP8UB
Crash!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTDYmYkfBM
Giono kicked the table in front of him. Pieces of wood splintered, scattering shards across the floor. A glass of coffee teetered on the edge before spilling, leaving dark streaks across the carpet.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QqxFg6Hg3
Packs of Sukro-brand peanuts and Djarum kretek cigarettes tumbled onto the floor with soft thuds.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0li99Fg15
Giono stomped back a step, his chest rising and falling like a bellows.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrytN46dY9o
Giono: "Weladalah! Weduus! Wedus!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog2GDfuI2V
His eyes blazed red, veins standing out on his temple. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms, trying to contain the storm brewing inside him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj2S3NytUI
Fifty of his men bowed silently, backs stiff, hands clasped, not daring to breathe too loudly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSXD4TlNVS
The Green Gang headquarters suddenly fell into an almost eerie silence. A few ceiling fans spun lazily, as if afraid to disturb the tension.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ePtIIWU8
Giono: "Karto! Make coffee! Quickly!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC5A7Mrtgk
Karto jumped, nearly tripping over a fallen peanut pack.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktBDzF6MTA
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBnyXcfZIR
Quick-thinking Turiman stepped forward, snapping his fingers at two men.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzKznpAVEU
Turiman: "You, Parto, and Suraji, bring a new table in front of the boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGMvMVyMmh
The two men scrambled, dragging a fresh table. One of them stumbled over a splinter, wincing before recovering.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUE5w62QCC
Giono: "Karto, don't forget! Make it bitter!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZDDIMsgzG
Karto saluted hastily, almost tipping over a chair.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfv8wayky
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYKUJWz6Aa
Giono: "Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZMHWDHoTJ
Karto: "Yes, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE8N0vAGGR
Giono: "Stir it eighteen times. Not less, not more!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzg8FqyF5Q
Several Green Gang members snorted quietly, trying to suppress smiles. A bead of sweat trickled down Turiman's forehead as he glanced nervously at Giono.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vOQjkmxAw
Karto dashed to the kitchen, returning a moment later with a steaming cup of bitter coffee. The aroma hit the room, sharp and intoxicating.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSF7wITAOm
Slurp!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLilLgKXVT
Giono: "Weduus! Perfect, Karto. Two spoons of coffee, half a spoon of sugar, stirred eighteen times…"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40T9qzI2nM
Some men wiped tears of suppressed laughter from their eyes.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nK6Oi70Rj
Giono lifted the cup, inhaling deeply before taking another sip. His shoulders relaxed, chest rising and falling more evenly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV8Kc0jl0X
Blood circulation slowed, his head cleared. The anger that had boiled inside him seemed to settle like sediment in a cup of coffee.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM3GjlvM3S
He tapped the side of the cup lightly with his finger, eyes scanning the room, calculating, plotting. His voice softened, but a sharp gleam lingered in his gaze.

Mariana's Cunning
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSuJ8xIlc4
Giono: "Weladalah… This cannot be tolerated! This is outrageous!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iu1ZE5ibW
His men remained motionless, hands hanging by their sides. Some chewed their lips nervously.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpnbrXMjC6
Giono lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply. Smoke curled around his face, accentuating his furrowed brows.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjCEIqJhG
Giono: "Danu, tell me what happened at Kembang Setaman Discotheque! "
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLVoCzjZnA
A security guard, shoulders hunched, stepped forward. His hands trembled slightly as he fidgeted with his cap.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J14yaJ5VZ
Danu: "It happened very quickly, quietly, and silently."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLWBxmG1Cu
Giono leaned forward, elbows on the table, his fingers drumming lightly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NmeU9IgIV
Giono: "What do you mean?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGx640KfAG
Danu swallowed, eyes flicking to the floor.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4pZBQkluM
Danu: "There was no resistance. Until finally, Handoyo voluntarily handed over the disco to the Big Lady."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpknY9YTgQ
Giono: "Weladalah… Then?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBxhfjyNTO
Danu: "They threatened Handoyo's wife and children."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdTiNGTxVy
Giono's eyes widened. Smoke escaped his mouth in jagged streams. His hands clenched into fists on the table.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE3igl4fU3
Giono: "Weduus! The Big Lady is truly cunning!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXKIXmNZh7
Danu: "Her bodyguards were also armed."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXd5QVb2u2
Giono sipped his coffee, tapping the cigarette against the ashtray with a sharp clink. He leaned back, staring into the half-empty cup.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkTiuOhwey
Giono: "Hmm… And?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX54NBDArw
Danu: "No chaos. Even the regular visitors stayed calm, as if nothing happened."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw5C2AgIiP
Karto, hands behind his back, nodded grimly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WzAe3x5lc
Karto: "Kembang Setaman Discotheque, owned by Handoyo, is one of the Green Gang's biggest donors in Tanah Abang."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SHhsTv79v
Turiman slammed his palm against the table, sending a small cloud of coffee steam into the air.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8h3yTPPKP
Turiman: "This cannot be allowed!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybLH7F6FAI
Fifty Green Gang members erupted in chaos, bumping into one another as they waved fists and shouted.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAJRfaokxy
"Take back what's ours!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeywQBnrVp
"Let's fight them!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzttVo1F0i
"Let's beat them up!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx31eIr2EPS
Giono inhaled deeply, letting the smoke curl lazily from his lips, his eyes scanning each member, weighing their energy and loyalty. His cup of coffee was half-empty, yet he savored it as a balm for his brewing temper.

Storming Kembang Setaman Discotheque
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1DPwfomQY
A man stepped forward, shifting his weight nervously from one foot to the other. His gaze avoided Giono directly. This was Kardun.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtYqGV448u
Kardun: "Everyone is ready to storm Kembang Setaman Discotheque!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkUeS5w10H
Giono studied him, noting the slight trembling of his shoulders. He was nervous… or afraid.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1rQQBvpuG
Closer inspection revealed Kardun's eyes were slightly cross-eyed, darting away from direct confrontation. Yet there was a spark, a glint of determination, hidden behind the wandering gaze.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1uZFJXO7g
Giono smiled faintly, curling one corner of his lip.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcNgrDBhub
Giono: "Are you ready yourself, Kardun?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg6qHErngY
Kardun's eyes flicked to the ceiling for a split second.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nrKIxS8fA
Kardun: "I'm ready, Boss! As long as the others are ready!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1S0AOCzO5
Turiman leaned closer, eyebrow arched.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z7TH8gf20
Turiman: "You're scared, Kardun?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MN5hSHWTJ
Kardun grinned, revealing a slight gap in his teeth. Eyes still partially averted, he gave a shaky thumbs-up.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeeIERmv1J
Kardun: "If we attack together, we'll win!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6bbdAwShS
Karto stepped closer, folding his arms.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqFeIRYrNz
Karto: "What if you go alone?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Lis08IPA
Kardun glanced around, chest rising with nervous excitement.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOI5tGKuHf
Kardun: "If I go alone… better for me to go to the hospital instead, Boss!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19IQTUUneZ
The room erupted in laughter, some men clutching their stomachs, others slapping tables.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgal9JCIqj
Turiman shook his head, chuckling.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m7bbI19UR
Turiman: "Are you afraid of bumps?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJptyiCl46
Kardun grinned broadly, finally lifting his gaze to meet Giono's.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvvXnpRTQs
Giono looked at him, tracing the subtle focus behind the wandering eyes. He nodded approvingly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16qXCRjxi
Giono: "Ladalah! Good… good…"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwrfS7a2m7
He scanned the room. Fifty of his men were bouncing on their heels, fists clenched, brimming with energy.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURQuKkT2Rl
Karto: "Let's reclaim Kembang Setaman Discotheque."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Daf7YFAr
Turiman: "Let's return it to Handoyo!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynoag8VDy3
"Agreed!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdbus6z9HN
Fifty voices thundered in unison, echoing off the walls:
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLujZL4C1J
"Long live Giono!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStiBcPoHkh
"Long live Giono!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6F7VYlz9M
Giono's lips curved slightly, proud. He lifted the dregs of his bitter coffee and swirled it in the cup.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKhLMb1064
Giono: "You, Karto, prepare the weapons!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qD4XtW3aT
He exhaled a thick plume of smoke, letting it drift lazily toward the ceiling.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe3XZzuonb
Giono: "And you, Turiman! Prepare ten vehicles to transport our people!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfSjGyBRBW
The men erupted again, some pumping fists, some slapping each other on the back.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryOIEHPwG7
Giono: "Alright! Tonight we storm Kembang Setaman Discotheque!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyij6brG1G4
Cheers and laughter mingled, echoing throughout the headquarters, carrying excitement, tension, and a trace of humor.
