Abandoned House (True Story)
True Story - I'm Back Part 5

The sounds of activity from the workers have begun to be heard filling this sunny morning. It was a much different atmosphere compared to when night came. If only every night could be like this, it would be very quiet for anyone who occupies this magnificent house.

Fresh water washes away the withered skin from the drowsiness that is still firmly attached. After taking a shower I immediately headed to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, and met by one of the workers named Ento. It seems that he was busy cleaning the Sement spoon which was slightly filled with dry claws.

I went up to him and stood in the doorway, "Gimana, Mang. Comfortable sleeping in Gg. The chain?"

He turned and lifted his chin. "Eh. Mas ... Comfortable, Mas, can sleep soundly me," he replied, smiling. "No kayaking here, a lot of weird stuff, Mas." He resumed his activities.

"meaning?" my question is, step over to the kitchen table.

"Yes ... Strange interference that, deh, Mas," said to doubt Mang Ento.

"Oh, that's ... Yeah, there's a guy, Mang." I was trying to remember something, "never mind, Mang Ento was unable to move while sleeping?"

Hearing my words, Mang Ento stopped his activities, and exclaimed, "Well! Also, Mommy?" Heard that Mang Ento was a little surprised and then stood up from his squat. "I'm so much, almost every night!"

"Last night my body felt stiff, unable to move at all" I said.

"That's it! Why would I go to sleep in this house ... Serem Mas."

"Ah, come on, Mang, don't get too carried away." Seeing Ento mang gelagat that is so easy to believe, I so do not want to continue this discussion, because I fear it will make him more afraid. "I don't know exactly what's going on either."

"If in my place it's called Rep-repan, Mas, it is said, our bodies are overpowered by subtle creatures," said Mang Ento.

I knitted my eyebrows, and parroted, "Rep-repan?"

"Yes, Mom!"

I rubbed my chin, tried to remember something, as if I had heard the term but somewhere, "Ah, no, Mang, no need to discuss." I poured hot water into a white glass filled with sugar and coffee. "Yes, Mang Tohir already noted the lacking ingredients?" I continued, while stirring the coffee I made.

Mang Ento seemed to think with his fingers that seemed to be counting something, and said severedly, "Sement, brick, sand, Same wall paint, Mas."

"That's it?" my reply, accompanied by Mang Ento nodded faintly, "okay, I will tell Mr. Yudi," I continued, then walked into the living room.

"Ready, Mas."

Upon arrival in the room, I immediately picked up the mobile phone to contact Yudi.

"Bang, sorry to bother you. It's at the building materials plant thinning, how is it?" But I caught something different from my interlocutor, "again some recitation, Bang?" I continued, hearing the reciting of the Holy Quran. Maybe Yudi is attending a lecture.

"Den, sorry, Babang is busy again can not handle it today, try Deni told Wa titi first, then let Babang clear everything," said Yudi, said, I want to quickly end the call.

"Oh, yes Bang, Deni to Wa Titi now," I replied, and the call ended.

If I've been paying attention lately. Every time I called him, he was at the study. But it should have been like that, considering he has several houses that have just been built. Praise be to him for all the sustenance he has.

"Which, if Arif asks, says I'm preparing lunch at Gg. Chain," I said, at the Tohir mang stirring Sement in the front yard of the house.

"Oh yes Mas, ready," in short, raised his right arm, showing respect while throwing a smile.

Not wasting a long time, I immediately put on the Helmets and started the vehicle, rushing off into Arif's house to confirm the dwindling stock of building materials.

How many minutes later, I had arrived at Arif's house. Wa Titi opened the front door of the house.

He looked out, "Arif didn't come home, Den?" tanya Wa Titi, standing in the doorway.

"Gga Wa, still sleeping in the Lodge" I said, opening the Helmets.

He snorted, and slightly muttered, "That kid's a habit of getting up late just ... Come in, Den, make coffee, gih."

"Let's go ahead, let Deni" I said, sitting in the front seat. "Yes, Wa Hasan is there, Wa?"

"There, Den ... Bentar Uwa call," Wa Titi replied and passed. "The coffee's not, Den?"

"Deni udab coffee, Wa, at the Lodge."

Wa Hasan soon met me, and we talked for a moment before finally contacting Yudi from my mobile phone.

Although there was a debate between Yudi and Wa Hasan, but eventually Wa Hasan agreed to lend some funds, in the interest of building a Lodge house, but eventually, and finally I moved to leave the house in Gg. Chain, with Arif's father to go to the Material Shop.

Around 11:00 p.m., we arrived at a fairly large material store. The shop is surrounded by a wall fence that is half an iron fence. There is a large storage shed in the right corner of the store. Paralon Pipe, and Galvanized Pipe neatly arranged from various sizes. And right on it, there is also a stack of asbestos that looks like a card that is aligned.

On the left side there are two large trucks that are parked neatly appear to be on standby to deliver consumer orders in this Material.

Here usually Yudi ordered a variety of building materials needed for the construction of Lodge houses, and Yudi recommended us to this Shop.

The motor has pulled over right in front of the Office space, the entire front of it is covered by glass. It looks more like an office than a Material Shop.

I'm not talking much here, just trailing Wa Hasan who has walked into the Office room.

But I and WA Hasan was confused after knowing the price dibandrol by this store is quite expensive. Of course the look on Wa Hasan's face turned wry.

"Si, how about tea Yudi! The all-expensive store is glimpsed," exclaimed Wa Hasan, who just got a receipt for all the items we ordered.

"Yes, Wa. Why come all the way here, if you want to be expensive, in front of Mount Batu also a lot," he said.

"This is Mr. Yudi's address at the Lodge, yes, sir?" ask the workers who are serving us.

"Yes, right" Wa Hasan briefed, and the worker then left us giving a receipt containing an address to a man called Koko who was sitting behind the counter.

The man was of ideal stature, his height was probably 170. He was slightly reddish-white, with narrow eyes and army-style hair. It is very obvious that he is from China. Maybe his age is not much different from Yudi. I don't know what they're talking about, but it seems like a pretty serious thing.

Soon the Chinese man met us, "Father of the people, who is Yudi?" ask Koko.

"I, Father, Yudi," Wa Hasan said.

"We're people made dizzy, sir! by the Father's son," he cetus, specially made, he then sat behind the glass storefront that separated the two distances.

"He's the one who hasn't paid, the last building material we sent to the Lodge house," he continued, leaving Wa Hasan stunned to hear it all, his face looking confused and nervous.

"For this matter, I, as Father Yudi, did not know about it," explained Wa Hasan, sounding quivering from his tone, "The thing is now, I want to buy building materials, I want to buy, and this is paid Cash," continued Wa Hasan.

Hearing that the shopkeeper was silent for a moment, like he was considering something. "Alright, But please help us, give my greetings to Mr. Yudi, because your son never answered my phone call," he concluded, giving a receipt to one of the workers, for immediate processing.

After everything was clear, using a motorcycle, we immediately left this Shop to return to Gg Chain.

The daytime weather felt so hot, like a sunshade right above my head. Wind mixed with dust, seen flying on the road body. Lucky I used the helmet, so it wasn't too affected.

On the way home, Wa Hasan and I did not talk much, he seemed to be very focused on driving. Naturally he was very careful in driving, in addition to his age is vulnerable plus the path we take seems so dense.

I opened the glass Helmets and slightly pointed the neck to Wa Hasan's shoulder."Wa ... Later Deni down at Batu Mountain Market, huh?"

"Not to Gg. Chain, first?"

"Let's not go back and forth, Wa," I added.

And soon Wa Hasan pulled the vehicle right in front of the market of Mount Batu. "Later ask to pick up oruh when it's settled, mah," he said, giving a piece of paper— list of groceries that I have to buy.

"No need, Wa. Let Deni go home to take ojek aja," I said.

"Oh, I see, Uwa first, yes, Den," he concluded, I nodded faintly and he passed.

The atmosphere of the market that was not so crowded anymore, made me anxious

the shop I'm going to. I sped up my pace, entering the market past the shophouses that lined the narrow streets—by merchandise.

My only goal is to meet Mang Bedi, he has a fairly complete grocery store in this market, besides that he is still a brother of my Grandmother.

I've twice ordered all the essentials from him, and that makes him different from other stores. In addition to the price is much more efficient, I also do not have to bother thinking about how to bring all the groceries, because he drove him directly to Arif's house in Gg. Chainlet.

From a distance I looked at the shop that looked as crowded as ever. "Assalamualaikum, Mang," He gasped, then searched for the source of my voice among the ranks of others who filled his shop.

"Wa'allaikumsalam. .... Eh. si, handsome," he exclaimed, slightly shouting from inside the shop. "Here oruh! Login ...."

"Yes, Mang, used to want to order more," I added, looking for a piece of paper in my pants pocket.

"Oh, you snob, where is the note," said the Bedi man, welcoming the paper I gave him. "Slaze! There is all this ... Later Inter, Den."

"Okay, ready! Thank you, Mang," I said. "On the path of thought. Still open no Mamang store, and Alhamdulillah, it still ...."

"Eh, that's why it's a little slang, Den! here, save Mamang, yeuh!" said Mang Bedi, giving his business card, "Died 'Hello' sent me his groceries."

"Well! Try from yesterday-yesterday, Mang ... If there's a number, right, so good," I said, chuckling, while pocketing the card he gave. "Yes, please excuse me, yes, Mang," I said. But Mang Bedi even knitted his eyebrows.

"Where are you going, anyway? None! Copy first, here!" he said he was going to pull my arm. But I managed to avoid.

"Yes, Mang! Thanks ... Another time, yes, Mang," I said, slowly stepping away.

"Daddy!. Yes already oruh .. later this brother Mamang between Deni's order to Wa Titi's house," he replied.

"Wa'allaikumsalam. Careful, Den."

"Ready," I said, continuing.

At that time I then went from the store mang Bedi, by using ojek back to Arif's house to take lunch workers.

"Mang, to Gg Chain yes." I said to a motorcycle taxi driver in front of the market.

"Oh, ready," said the motorcycle taxi driver.

30 Minutes later I arrived at Arif's house, where I was greeted by Wa Titi who was sweeping the front yard of his house.

"yeah! how to ride Ojek, Den?" said Wa Titi, seeing me who just got off the bike. "Not ask to pick me up."

"Yes, Wa let it be fast, so do not go back and forth." I said.

"Yes, come in, gih ... Will Uwa prepare a meal inside?"

"Later Wa with each other, Arif is also still in the Lodge" I replied.

"Why or not come home with the tea Arif, so Deni who takes care of everything."

"Whoa, tired like him."

"So, Uwa made coffee inside" said Wa Titi, then entered the house.

***

Short story.

Shortly at Arif's house, I got a phone call from Yudi who asked for help to take money from one of his friends who was in Ciomas, not clear what the money was, not clear what it was, but the number is not small.

The meeting between Yudi and me was very short, he just asked me what my name was, after which he gave me a very thick brown envelope and let me go. After I made a cash deposit at a famous bank, I immediately slid into the Lodge house.

Until exactly three o'clock in the afternoon I arrived at the lodge. Just as I entered the parking lot, my phone rang again. Edi must be, here!

"Hello ... Where did you get to?" my question, answer the call Edi, while getting off the bike.

"Still at Cilebut A Station, Ride the freight down where A." replied Edi.

"Fine angkot 07, say it down at the Lodge, in front of Yoniv 315," I replied. Get inside the house.

"Oh, Okay A, later Edi SMS if it's already in the A."

"OKAY. Careful, Di," I briefed, ending the call.

Upon arrival in the house, I saw the door of the room that was half open and it seemed Arif was still preoccupied by the Video Game he played.

"Ah, very bad," I said.

Arif turned his head quickly towards me, "Wes, how about, Den, done?" he said, ending the game.

"Beres, you know," I said, sitting on the side of the bed, "Pity Wa Hasan, Rif, so he's material."

"Lu too, just the way, not the wake-up I used to be," said Arif.

I snorted and wiped his face, "it's like a kebo!" gurauku. And he laughs. "Yes ... You know something happened last night?"

His face was confused, he seemed to be unaware of what had happened to him last night. "No, forget it."

"What the hell, anyway?"

"No ... There's nothing!"

"Yes, yes ... Sorry, deh, do not help, you, later if Babang transfers money gw for two the same, you, deh," said Arif, while grinning the horse.

"Huh? there's Babang, noh! who I send in money," straightforwardly, while giving a savings book to him. "But, when it comes to money, it's like, Babang again there's a problem, deh, Rif."

I opened each sheet of my savings book, and then exclaimed, "Waduh!.. 18jt?" Arif was surprised when he saw the receipt and savings book he held. "Lots of gini money, you say a lot of trouble?"

"So, that was also the building materials bill in the past Wa Hasan." I said, snatching the savings book, "That's also money is not clear what the results are! I took it from friend Bang Yudi. In Ciomas."

Arif turned his head quickly with suspicious eyes, "Well! It's starting to go wrong, people! The end will play up other problems. I am sure this is debt. Males if he's like this, Den!" cetus Arif, it seems that he is worried about Yudi saati's attitude.

I clucked lazily, and tore myself down on the bed, "Yeah, how else, Rif ... Let's follow how it goes in the future. Hopefully smoothly," I reply, then get out of bed.

"Mandi?" ask Arif.

"Yes, Iah! Dust all the skin, me," I continued, walking out of the room.

I think it is better to cleanse the body, While waiting for the arrival of my sister, than to have to argue with Arif, he must have spoken at length when it comes to Yudi's ugliness.

But just now I washed my body with a few strokes of the dipper, the sound of a cell phone rang.

"Den, you call, nih!" shouts Arif, sounds approaching.

"Yes, yes ... Tell me I'll call you back, just get it done, nih!" I answered, hastily finishing the bath.

Before long I opened the toilet door and rushed to the room, "Edi, call earlier, tuh," said Arif gave me my phone.

"Hallo! At. Where did you get to?" ask me, by loudspeaker the conversation.

"This is in front of Gg Lodge, where else, A?"

"There's still no taxi driver there."

"Still, A ... From earlier also on nawarin, but confused to say what to the Ojek builder," asked Edi, making me try to remember the full address of this house.

"ah! forgot On ... Wait there, let's go, Aa, just pick it up," I ended the call, because I didn't want to waste much time. Know for yourself how gloomy the Lodge road is if it gets dark.

Bruum... Brums..

I'm gonna slide right in front of Gg. Loji, to pick up my sister. It felt like there were so many things I wanted to tell him, considering we rarely met since I often paced to Bogor.

But I fell silent, while the vehicle engine was on, I circulated the whole house with a sharp gaze as if full of worry.

You can bother me, but not for my sister!

Bruummiy ...

I pulled the Gas pedal, and darted out of the Lodge.
