Mystery of Death Flowers
The Dark Side of Mr. Lurah

Mangga village is known to have many residents who work as TKW or TKI abroad, many of them choose to use the services of touts to facilitate the departure process.

These scalpers offer services that promise a quicker departure as they will take care of all the requirements and administration for citizens who want to work abroad.

In fact, the scalpers make it easier for those who do not have capital so they are given capital first for administration.

"Calo gives capital for the manufacture of passports and visas. But, yo ngono iku-cut a lot when receiving a salary!"

Despite this, residents still believe in these scalpers.

The touts usually come to the homes of residents and then give an explanation with lure.

For example giving an explanation of employment as TKW, including higher income abroad. They do this to gain the trust of the people.

And usually, older family members will encourage their children or younger siblings to accept the offer to improve their living standards in the village.

Calo explains by highlighting the process that is easier and faster if using his services, although still sometimes this information is not always true or transparent.

"Does this have anything to do with the father's work before he became Lurah?" ryan asked himself, linking his father's conversation with a guest he didn't know.

Apparently, before becoming Lurah, Pak Lurah became the only scalper who survived until now - after becoming cheap.

His father Ryan, became Lurah also because of the many support from the families of the people he departed as TKW with his "services". They were disinclined and finally complied.

Mr. Lurah has the courage to get involved in the scalper business, although not always legal, to help his citizens find work abroad as a TKW.

But it's not really so, in fact!

"Seeing from the judgment side of all good people, there must be something bad that I never knew. But, what?"

Ryan asked again, trying to figure out the truth about what he had just heard.

Although according to residents, Mr. Lurah shows a great sense of care for his citizens and tries to give them the opportunity to seek a better life abroad, in fact, he said, there are some residents who keep their own secrets, related to Mr. Lurah who is unknown to others.

"I must tell this to Zahra and Radit! But, isn't this going to hurt dad?" ryan asked doubtfully.

Mr. Lurah, looks loyal to his citizens who have given support to him and their families who he departed as TKW. This loyalty became the reason why he became the only scalper who survived as the only one.

Although his initial goals were good, Mr. Lurah often used manipulation to reassure citizens and their families about his touts services, without fully disclosing the risks and consequences of these illegal acts.

"Don't you think Flower's death has something to do with my father's activities as a TKW scalper?" ask Ryan again, guessing.

According to Ryan, his father has the ability to communicate and establish strong relationships with citizens and their families. This helped his father gain their support and trust.

Mr. Lurah established his business as a scalper because he saw the potential income from the departure of many citizens as TKW, and of course this strengthens his position.

He became the only scalper to survive because of the support and trust given by the families of citizens who had successfully worked abroad. Despite the risk and opposition, he managed to maintain his position because of his courage and loyalty to the villagers who felt indebted.

"If father had anything to do with Flower's death, I can't forgive even if he's my own father!"

Ryan said furiously, recalling what happened to his Flower-lover!

"Pak Lurah iku wong is slick, helping many of us find better jobs abroad. I am very mature with him. Thanks for the help!"

Ryan, who had just walked towards Zahra's house, heard two people talking at a crossroads.

"My family Yo, Kang. My son died as TKW thanks to Mr. Lurah's help. He gave the model first. He really paid attention to our fate and guided us well."

Again, one gives praise even though there is no Mr. Lurah with them at this time.

Ryan, don't continue on his way. He was hiding to monitor the situation.

"Pak Lurah is always there to help us. He has a strong relationship with a prospective employer abroad, and thanks to that, my son iso sent a duwet to the village."

Turns out, the citizens' good judgment was really ingrained!

"Sir Lurah, I'm a hero to us. He helped us overcome the challenges and took care of all the complicated requirements to work abroad."

Yes, the villagers are just ordinary people who are not educated so do not fully understand about passports and visas and all sorts of administrations to become TKW.

They believe in Mr. Lurah completely!

"He was very honest and attentive. Mr. Lurah always gives sincere advice and guidance to every citizen who wants to leave as TKW."

"Pak Lurah is a reliable figure. We feel safe and comfortable because he always takes care of all the departures well."

So famous Mr. Lurah, making people turn a blind eye to all his activities that are not good.

"We are lucky to have Mr. Lurah in our village. He has opened the door of opportunity for many citizens to achieve their dreams abroad."

"Pak Lurah is a wise man who knows how to help us overcome obstacles and find a job that suits our abilities."

In this situation, even though the villagers praised Mr. Lurah for his help in finding work as a TKW overseas, there is actually a dark side to the scalper's efforts that many people do not know about.

Some people have known the secret, but they prefer to remain silent for some reason.

"Pak Lurah truly understands our condition in this village and provides meaningful support for us building a better future abroad."

Mr. Lurah uses a variety of tactics to keep his vices hidden from the view of others.

When there are citizens who are suspicious about the practices of touts, Mr. Lurah may give false promises that all departure processes have been done legally and safely.

If anyone knows the dark side, Mr. Lurah uses threats or intimidation to keep them quiet and not reveal the secret to others.

Mr. Lurah also spread rumors about people trying to reveal their vices, to damage their reputation and make others hesitant to trust the information.

Mr. Lurah can manipulate information or eliminate evidence that can expose his ugliness, making it difficult for others to reveal the truth.

He controls access to information related to TKW's departure, making it difficult for others to get truly accurate data.

Mr. Lurah's words to keep people quiet include warnings about the dangers of unlocking secrets, promises of gifts or rewards, or even implying that the person will benefit if he stays on his side.
