After living in Indonesia for about 4 years, I have fully adapted to Indonesian culture and have many friends. We also had no intention of returning to Hong Kong at that time. My mother was an Indonesian citizen, but at that time it was not easy for foreigners to settle in Indonesia, even though their wives or parents were Indonesian citizens.

My family faced many problems and burdens when I was in the 3rd grade of junior high school

My father was a smart man, but he was too honest, so he was not suitable to run a business in Indonesia at that time. In addition, parental money was also used for business investment with my husband, which I often mentioned in previous articles. Jewelry and valuables in the house have also been stolen. So that in our 4th year in Indonesia, it can be said that the parents' savings are not much.

My plans to join my male cousin to continue his education in the United States were also not achieved. But our family is grateful to have many friends who always support us, and that is where the strength for us to still want to be in Indonesia even though we have to live a simple life.

Problems in your family were the beginning of the reason why we had to leave Indonesia

When I was in the 3rd grade of junior high school, my brother had a big fight with his husband, then my brother took the youngest child away from his house. Because her husband was not an ordinary person, he sought out his children in various ways and took revenge on his wife's brothers and sisters, including us.

The person who has the power to rule the principal kicks me out of school

Since my brother's husband knew many powerful people, of course he used that power to take revenge on us. One day my mother was called by my principal, and my principal told me that someone in power had ordered her to take me out of school. However, the request was rejected by the principal and teachers rejected the request, risking their positions. Without a proper reason, they would not expel me and would still keep me from continuing to attend this school. My mother and I were very moved by their kindness to me.

Four cars picked us up and took us to a detention center

While we were a little relieved that I was still able to continue school, it turned out that this was just the beginning of a nightmare. One day when I came home from school, I saw 4 cars parked in front of the house. When they saw me enter the house, some people in power came out and took me, my father, and my sister away without giving any reason. My mother was confused at that time because they did not want to tell her where they would take us. They were in the car all just staying, then we arrived at a location, and it was crowded. Then the three of us were put into a cell room where there was only a dirty mattress that was already black and an open toilet.

My mother knew the location where we were detained for RP. 10,000 in my pocket

At that time, my father was confused because all his life he lived in order and straight. So when facing this incident, he was very confused and began to cry. Moreover, my age at that time was only 15 years old, and my sister was only 6 years old. The people who brought us to this place also began to interrogate my father unkindly and used many harsh words. After that, we were put back in the cell room.

After the people left, I don't know where the power came from; I wasn't too nervous and remembered that there was Rp.10,000 in my pants pocket, which was the pocket money that I usually brought to school. At that time, my father did not bring anything because when he took us away forcibly, my father only wore sandals.

2 people were also detained in the detention, they were from Beijing, and they felt sorry to see my young sister and me in the cell. Then they called one of the people who guarded the detention center to allow us to call my mother. I spent Rp. 10,000 for this guy, and he was wearing a helmet and took me to call my mother.

There are many rooms; some are held in a cell, some are held in a regular room and are free to walk around in the detention area, and these 2 Beijingians live in a room right in front of our cell.

At night hear the screams of women

After telling my mother our location, I was taken back to the cell room by the man in the helmet. Tired and sleepy, I didn't care about the dirty mattress anymore and put my head there and rested. While waiting for my mother to come to help us, I heard a woman's screams that were quite loud for a long period of time. At that time, I roughly knew what was happening. At that time, I realized that this happened not only in the movie scene, but also in the real world and was more terrible than I imagined.

In the middle of the night, my mother and her brother came to help us

Even though I was very tired, I had a hard time sleeping. Around midnight, I heard a lot of car noises and then saw my mother and her brother bringing her friends, and one of them was a person who had a high position in the Police at that time. The father was very angry because he saw my brother and me in the cell. In the end, they allowed my mother to take my sister and me away, but my father had to stay there because the man in charge of bringing us to this place was someone of high power. My father was no longer held in a cell, but was moved to a room with 2 Beijingians who had helped us. My father was treated better by the prison guards.

Must return to Hong Kong

After my mother and her brother's struggle for a week after this kidnapping, we had to return to Hong Kong in a hurry and bring nothing. I also couldn't finish junior high school in Indonesia and then had to go back to Hong Kong. In the following articles, I will tell you how our process was to return to Hong Kong and my struggle after returning to Hong Kong with nothing.
