BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 125: THE MISSING BOX

    After getting out of prison, out of the temporary detention house in Polsek, Podin along with the residents returned to his home. Surely the residents apologized to Podin and immediately took him home by riding a motorbike in a row, bellied, in the arak crowd. Yeah, because when those people picked up, a lot of people came along. And of course because it is rather close, then they are quite in tandem with each other riding a motor vehicle.

    "Thank you, Mr. RT .... Thank you, Mr. RW .., for helping me, for getting me out of prison" said Podin who greeted Mr. RT and Mr. RW. Of course he felt excited, because he felt free, had been released from prison, had been helped by Mr. RT and Mr. RW, and also the citizens who accompanied him in a crowd.

    "Together, Mr. Podin .... Me and all the villagers, also apologized to Mr. Podin .... We've all been wrong, guilty of Mr. Podin. And of course, once again we all apologize. This is not intentional, but just because of a misunderstanding. People who do not know Mr. Podin thought Mr. Podin was a thief. Please forgive me, Mr. Podin" said Mr. RW representing the residents who stood on the street in front of the house, taking Podin home. And of course, Mr. RW also apologized because the residents had mistakenly arrested him. It even ganged.

    "Together, Mr. RT, Mr. RW, and the citizens all .... I'm sorry too. Frankly, I was going to enter the house, but because the house was locked, and I did not bring the key, I could not enter, I was forced to open the window. And I went in through the window. Please forgive me too" said Podin to those still shrouding in front of his house.

    "Lah .., Mr. Podin .... If it's just the keys to the house, bring it to me. The keys to the house were tipped to me by Mpok Rina .... Because Mpok Rina when she returned to the village, she did order to me, if for example someone wants to buy the house, so they can look inside, the key that brought me, Mr. Podin. This is the key I cantongi." said the man who of course had once been entrusted with the key to sell the house.

    "Well, it's already been, sir .." said Podin who was certainly already sorry.

    "Well .., it's okay .... This is an experience for us. Yes, later at least I will also ask the residents first, if for example things like this happen again, we are more vigilant and careful .." said Mr. RW.

    "Yes, Mr. RW .." said Podin who then received the key from the man who carried it, who had been cheated by his wife.

    "What does Mr. Podin want, really, to get into this house again? He said this house, same Mpok Rina want to be sold? That's why the key was left me." said the man, and of course also noticed by the residents who still shrouded Podin.

    "I'm going to get some clothes, sir .... My clothes are left behind, the most historic clothes, the clothes that most have memories of me. That's why I want to take it for me to take it back to Jakarta" Podin told people watching him. They're still covering up for Podin.

    "Well .., yes already .... If it is taken. There may still be. His stuff is intact. I never went into that house either. Yes understandably I was from morning until afternoon working in the factory, and did not know that yesterday morning Mr. Podin was beaten by residents. I've gone to work at the factory" said the man.

    Eventually, Podin will enter the house. Podin began to open the gate, which of course was also helped by the residents. Understandably the condition of Podin is certainly in a battered state. Not only was his face shattered, but even his hands and feet were bruised and scarred.

    "Sir Podin, you will be battered .. His legs and hands also hurt .., here, we help open the door" said one who later helped open the door. Yes, indeed, Podin who was bruised all over his body, certainly experienced pain that was not rusty, because he was beaten by his own neighbors, who thought he was a thief.

    Then the door was opened, and Podin entered. Many people followed in as well. Then Podin tried to open the door. And it was also easy to open it. Then Podin entered the house. Likewise some of his neighbors, entered the house of Podin. There was even a neighbor who helped fix the window that had been poked yesterday by Podin. And the window was nailed to shut, so that no one would enter the house again.

    Indeed, the items in the house lived worthless items. Mostly just chairs and mattresses and closets. While electronic goods and other valuables have been brought by Rina, to be taken home to her village. Yes, when Rina came home, indeed she rented a truck to carry her valuables. Including items in the kitchen where he sells in food stalls. Like refrigerators, freezers, stoves and other items that are easy to carry, everything has been transported and taken home to his village.

    Podin went straight to the room. He was looking, of course he was looking for something. Yes, Podin was looking for items that had been targeted when he came to the village, far from Jakarta. Podin willingly came to his village to see the house that is now empty, abandoned by his wife. Podin had gone into his room, and of course he pretended to open a closet. Podin pretends to look for clothes in the closet. Surely Podin did not look directly under the bed, because there are still many neighbors who follow him. And of course, Podin will also keep the goods he is looking for.

    So Podin just took down two pieces of clothes. Yes long-sleeved hem that still looks very good and may even be new. The long-sleeved hem is white, and the other one is light blue. That shirt looks really good. So his neighbors immediately believed that Podin came to the house on the grounds that he would take his clothes, it reassured his neighbors.

    Next, Podin put the clothes he took from the closet on the bed. Then he pretended to lay his body on the bed. Surely Podin pretended to be overachieving. Podin pretended to be sleepy, and Podin pretended that all of his body was sore and sore.

    "Yes, that's right, Mr. Podin .... Just rest first." said the others, follow advising.

    "Rubber, Mr. Podin .... Mr. Podin is sleepy and tired .... Moreover, Mr. Pudin was also sick like that, his body was all bruised. The medicine is taken, keep Pak Podin sleeping first. Don't go home yet .... Later even nyopirnya not concentration" said Mr. RW who gave advice to Podin.

    "Thank you, Mr. RT, Mr. RW, Mr. everybody .... I plan to go to bed first .... I want to rest first .... My body aches all, my body aches all, and I also drowsiness .... Because last night in custody I couldn't sleep. In the detention room I was also beaten by the people who were there. I was beaten, beaten by two prisoners there .... I dare not reply. I just sit down and shut up .... Can only feel the pain ..." so said Podin who certainly told him his condition in the hospital.

    "Well ..., is that right, Mr Podin? So there's a punch-up in the prison?" ask the people who heard the story of Podin.

    "Yes .... But I did not dare to fight ..." replied Podin.

    "Yes, already .... The medicine is taken .... Keep taking a break" said the others.

    And of course, people feel sorry for Podin. They immediately told Podin to sleep, to rest first in his own house.

    "Yes, already .... There, Bang Podin sleeps .... Rest ..." said the others.

    "Yes, Mr. Podin .... Get some sleep, sir .... Let the spit be healed .... Be immediately healthy .... Let's not sleepy when driving ..." said the others.

    "Yes, Mr. Podin .... Don't let it drive later not concentration." the others added.

    "Well, let's just keep talking .... Let's go home .... Let Mr. Podin rest" said Mr. RW who took his people home.

    "In that case, we go home first, Mr. Podin .... Please take a break Mr. Podin" said the farewell people.

    "Yes .., yes .., sir .... Thank you all ..., Mrs, Mas, Bang, Om .... Thank you for helping me, for getting me out of jail. Thank you all" said Podin who of course while greeting the people who are saying goodbye will go home.

    And finally, the residents, the neighbors of Podin, the people who had been flocking to pick up Podin, even to deliver to the Puskesmas, helped deliver Podin treatment, and then also drove back to his house, now everything is home. And only Podin was alone. Podin. Podin quiet. Podin felt comfortable, although his body still felt all the pain, even though his body was crushed to pieces, and of course he felt happy, because what was said was finished. People were already on their way home leaving Podin alone in the room. And Podin's goal will soon be achieved. That is taking two of his treasure chests, which he once brought from the Island of Berhala.

    Podin crouched on the edge of his bed. He immediately looked under the bed. He wanted to look back at the treasure chest he had once hidden in that place. And he would take it, take it to Jakarta, to take out the tuyul, and ask that his tuyul-tuyul later make a lot of money for Podin.

    How confused is Podin. How disappointed he was. Many times he observed under the bed, it turned out that the things he was looking for, the things he craved, the things he wished for, the things he wished for, the two crates he had hidden under him were gone.

    Loosely squeezed all over Podin's body. Already his face battered, his body crumbled, now his soul floated. It was destroyed because the box had escaped. Lost out of nowhere. Podin was devastated by the loss of the crate.
