Answer 1

It looks like your DirectoryIndex is not set, or not set correctly (it defaults to index.html only). Add the following to the top of your .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.php
Your mod_rewrite directives are not rewriting /mastertransaksi/ to /mastertransaksi/index.php because this is a physical directory and your rule excludes directories.
The 403 results because directory indexes are disabled and no DirectoryIndex document is found.
Aside: You have multiple RewriteEngine directives which are unnecessary and should be removed. Also...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
Options All -Indexes
</IfModule>
Remove the <IfModule> wrapper and RewriteEngine On directive. Just keep the Options directive.
