(I had only recently came across the message written above, pinned up on a notice board, while I was having a tea break in the morning with the staffs on 2nd December 2004. I thought I included this secret message with all of you in this chapter. Thanks.)
In early October 1993, Natalia and Gordon were wishing for a house for themselves. In August 1993, Yani and I had secured a terrace house in Nusa Dua after we had returned from Jakarta. This was done because our house leased for one year in Kuta Permai was going to expire in December 1993. Natalia and Gordon had gone around in the housing estates that Yani and I was going to stay. They wished to stay in the same housing estate where Yani and I lived too. So, we droved around the housing estate and when they saw a house that was to their liking, Natalia would ask me to stop the car. Yani in her altered state of mind and I would wait for them inside the car while they went into that house to see the Spirit or Spirits that had occupied that house. Then finally, Natalia said that they had managed to lease a house in their world and it was about 400 hundred metres away from our house. Natalia showed me where they would be living and the human occupants of that house were Christians too. Gordon, Natalia, Margarita, Mas Anton, Ricky, Budi, Soni and Heru; immediately shifted to their new home at Nusa Dua. After that I did not meet them for a couple of weeks and we were too busy trying to settle our own business preparation. I guessed that they were busy too with their new home.
Yani and I managed to find a place just outside Kuta tourist's district for a small food business. It was located at Jalan Tanjung Sari (now Jalan Plambangan). The money payment for this leased was around Rp3400000 for two years leased, excluding the monthly electricity and water bills. It was a good bargain and it was quite a good location. In front of this long row of small shops complex, there were two prominent buildings. A small hotel called Kompiang Hotel (but now it has been demolished and a small three storey shopping retail outlet stands); and a Buddhist Temple. We sold off our Honda Civic car for more cash to be generated into the business and we bought an old Toyota Crown, 1977 model. It was an old car but it was in very good condition. It cost Rp7000000. We painted the shop and bought the necessary things for the food business. We did not do any renovation because our capital was constrained. We opened our business on 25th October 1993.
Yani and I shifted to our new home in Nusa Dua in the early period of November 1993. Yani, Adi and Lek Mim and I were most of the time busy in operating our small food business. Natalia, Gordon, Margarita, Mas Anton, Ricky, Budi, Soni and Heru seemed to be fading away from our lives and Yani was herself again for a few weeks. We had our own lives to live and they had their own lives to live in their own world.
At our new house at Nusa Dua, which was about 12 kilometres from our shop, there was a spirit couple and they had a daughter. They were Muslim Spirits (Djinns). The daughter called herself as "Kakak" or Sister. Her parents did not want to reveal their names to me according to Margarita and Natalia. They wished to be anonymous. It seemed that they were not in good rapport with my spirit family in the unseen world initially and then later things got well between them. I remembered the first time I met Kakak, while an old contractor was repairing the house extension and painting the house. She came quietly and left quietly but I had sensed her presence and behaviours through Yani. So when I questioned her about her home in her world, whether they had a good home, she was boastful and stuck-up. She said that her house had all the necessary materials that were much better than the things I owned. When I questioned her further about herself and her parents, she remained silent about it. I let her be and she left without saying much. Yani personality returned immediately as though Kakak never possessed her.
The old contractor once had informed me that while he was sleeping at night in our new house, a couple of times he had heard very clearly cryings of a little child. He assured me that it was not his imagination and he was wide awake. When he went to check around the house, there was nobody and later the crying would continue again. I listened to his story but I was not afraid. I was wondering whether there was another spirit that I was not aware of or informed by my spirit family in the unseen realm and this little spirit entity was living in our house. I knew Budi, Soni and Heru were the child spirits and I was wondering why would any of them cried in our new house, because Natalia, Gordon and the rest were taking good care of them in their own home.
Kakak was a teenager spirit and she was studying in SMA (College). I was told by Heru later that Kakak's parents were always not around because they were too busy working in a hotel in Bali but there was an old woman spirit, which Heru called as "Mbah" (Grandmother) that was working as a maid. She was taking care of Kakak and doing the houseworks.
After we had shifted, Margarita met me one day at our new home and told me that Ibu came to see our new house. Ibu had said that it was a nice house and Gordon had informed Natalia that our house was a nice place too. Margarita told me also that she wished to give Yani and I a present for that new house. I had no idea what she meant by that.
The next day, Yani had informed me that she had ordered curtains for the house windows when a curtain salesman had passed by the house. It was quite expensive. I knew Yani did not have so much money left in her wallet or in her bank account, so when I queried about where she got the money to purchase the curtains, she said that the money was in her wallet. She had thought that I had put the money inside her wallet. She was so surprised when I told her that I did not put any cash inside her wallet. She disbelieved me thinking that it was a joke. After that we did not talked about it anymore. Two days later, when I arrived home from the shop, I was so surprised to see the double layered curtains, white and blue, were in placed. It was a beautiful sight to see the windows with nice colours that I felt was very smashing and made the house more lively.
Later Margarita met me and said that she had bought the curtains through Yani as a present for the house. Ibu had helped her to put the money inside Yani's wallet. Margarita was very happy to see her present being appreciated by Yani and I. She said that she loved Yani too because Yani was then already liked a sister to her. Margarita informed me that she was staying with Natalia and the rest. She felt uncomfortable staying in the same house with Yani and I because there were other spirits staying in it but she could visit me once in awhile. And then she left.
