Meanwhile, Osman, who is also a spy for the Japanese Police chooses to serve his own agenda. As it turns out, Swee Lan`s father is a local leader of the Bintang Tiga sympathizers who asked her to establish a romantic relationship with Ahmad in order to gather intelligence for the Japanese movements but Swee Lan falls in love with Ahmad for real.
