BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 17: INEVITABLE PLOT

    It is not morning yet. The sun is far from rising. But Podin still wants to go home soon, of course, want to see the treasure he brought. Yes, it was his intention that Podin wanted to open and count the treasure together with his wife in the sealed room. And later, it will definitely be stored in a closet that is always locked.

    After coming out of the island, and arriving on the mainland, Podin who lifted the treasure chest with a limp, because of the weight. He went straight to the beach, to pick up his motorcycle which he parked on the side of the trench road. Then the treasure chest was raised on his motorbike. Of course it is very difficult, because of the weight and magnitude of the treasure chest, which is difficult to put in the front vehicle. Finally, Podin placed the treasure chest in his backseat, as well as being shaken. But of course, because the treasure chest he brought was quite large and heavy. So Podin had to hold the crate firmly. But of course it is also a hassle, because the road it crosses is a narrow rocky road, making it difficult for motorized vehicles to pass.

    It was so difficult to hold the chest in the rear bonnet, even the chest almost fell, then Podin finally had to stop for a moment, in order to find a rope to tie the chest. Of course, on a dark day, it will be difficult to establish a rope that will be used to tie the coffin. And finally, Podin got the idea. He saw a banana tree, then he took a few pieces of banana stem midribs, then used to tie the chest in the bonnet of his motorbike.

    Even Podin also took the banana leaf, which was used to wrap, covering the coffin, so as not to be seen by others. He was worried that if the strange-shaped coffin was seen by people, surely those who saw it would be suspicious and wonder. Sure, because the form is like a treasure penti that people see in the story picture or film Aladin or Alibaba in ancient times. Finally, Podin took the banana leaf and closed it on the crate. The crate was wrapped tightly by banana leaves that had been tied with the motorcycle seat on the back.

    Now, Podin is free to ride his motorbike. The chest was tightly wrapped, and the obvious one was already firmly tied. So that Podin can run his vehicle, walk freely in crossing the highway. Podin can drive very fast. Of course he had to speed, because he wanted to get to his house soon.  At least he could reach his house when it was still early in the morning. Podin continued to accelerate the speed of his vehicle to get home soon.

    However, even though the motor driven by Podin has run fast, the travel time is the distance divided by the speed. Although Podin is fast enough to ride his motorbike, but because of the distance is very far, the time needed is also quite long. The day is light. It was even quite noon, when Podin entered through the gate of the luxury residential guard.

    "Good Morning, Mr. Podin .... From where, Mr. ..., early in the morning have brought this much stuff ...?" ask the security guard at the entrance post.

    "Back of work .... The break is overtime ..." replied Podin who looks shabby due to lack of sleep.

    "What's wrong, Mr. Podin ...?! How does it look heavy, so ...?" shouted the other guard, who was certainly curious about what was brought by Podin.

    "Regular ..... It's a job, to work overtime at home ..." replied Podin who of course also worried that the box under it was known by the security guard who was on guard. Thankfully, without looking and not questioning again, the security guard opened the door, and immediately allowed Podin to enter. Of course because the security guard who guarded the Housing had memorized with Podin. Podin also quickly entered so that the box was not seen.

    "Yes ...!! .... Ibuk ...!! Lst ...!!"

    Once at home, Podin yells to his wife, as the door of his house is locked. His wife must be in the house. At most I watch TV. His two big kids have gone to school. So if you have to deal with his small children, most easily stamped TV, continue to be invited to watch TV.

    "Sir ...!! Mom ...!! Lsti ...!! Lst ...!!" Podin called his wife back, of course, knocking on the door. But for a while, his wife did not leave the house either.

    Then Podin tried to open the garage door next to the terrace. Turns out the garage door wasn't locked. Podin immediately opened the garage, then the motor that shook the treasure chest was directly inserted into the garage of his house. Of course, Podin immediately closed the garage door. Well, so that the goods in the bonnet are safe, invisible to its neighbors.

    Next from the garage room which is only to put the motor and car, Podin headed to the middle room. It just so happened that the connecting room was unlocked. Next, Podin went into the room of his house. Of course while lifting the treasure chest he brought from his place asked for wealth to the old grandfather on the Island of Berhala. Yes, he found his wife crying. Even her two small children also cried, for fear of her mother crying. Of course, the sound of his wife and children was not heard from outside.  Because of the size of the house of Podin. Moreover, the sound of crying was also inferior to the sound of a TV that was quite loud.

    Podin passed by his wife who was still crying. He carried the heavy treasure into his room. Then Podin put the treasure chest into his special closet. The closet was locked tightly. So that no one can open it. After that, Podin entered the bathroom. He washed his hands last night covered in blood and also his legs which were also exposed to blood. Maybe when he kicked a human head that rolled into his leg last night. After looking clean, then he went out to meet his wife who was still crying.

    "What's up, Mom ...?! Early in the morning we cry ...?" of course, Podin was confused to see his wife and child crying.

    "Oah, Sir .... Where did you come from ...?! The call cannot .... Wanted not found .... Don't know people are in trouble .... Not knowing his son had an accident, it was why he went unattached, now comes even kayak so.." said Isti who was certainly confused to deliver news from the school.

    "What does Mother mean ...? What distress ...? Who was the accident ...?" podin asked who was certainly also confused to hear the words of his wife.

    "Rpa .... I was contacted by his teacher Eko .... He said Eko had an accident in front of his school .... Huuhuhuuu ..." said Isti who instantly hardened his crying voice.

    "Huh ...?! Accident ...?!" Podin realized the words of his crying wife. Of course, he was shocked when he heard the words of his wife who stated that her biggest child had an accident.

    "Yes, Sir .... His teacher Eko called .... I called you many times .., but it is not active .... Her phone could not be reached, never picked up .... We are in trouble, sir .... Lah, kok called just can not, the phone is not appointed anyway, sir .... What is that father, Mr ...?? What should we do, Mr ...??? Huhuhuhu ..." said Isti who was certainly very sad to hear the news from his teacher.

    "Sorry, Ma'am .... HP I sell .... After that, I no longer have money ..." said Podin who immediately lowered his head because he felt guilty.

    "Oh my goodness sir ... What is that father? Come ..., now we go to school Eko .... Let's look at our son, how he's doing ...!" said Isti who certainly told her husband immediately rushed to school.

    "Yes .., come on, Ma'am ..." said Podin who immediately prepared to leave.

    However, just released the motorbike, will follow his son who is said to have an accident at school, Isti is also closing the door of his house, will piggyback on Podin. Suddenly there was a security guard who was riding a motorbike, along with another motorbike driven by police officers. The policeman shook off Dewi, the number two son of Podin, who attended one school with his older brother, and another a man, his teacher Dewi.

    "Pak Podin .., this is a guest from the police with Pag Guru, bringing Dewi home ..." said the security guard who delivered him.

    "Oh, yes .... Thank you ..." said Podin who finally put the bike again, not so leaving. So did Isti, who again opened the door of his house.

    "Come, Mr. .., Mr. Police and Mr. Teacher .... Please enter ..." said Podin welcome two people who came to deliver the Goddess. But Podin's feelings remain uneasy, as his wife has told him that Eko had an accident. But why is it that is delivered home only Goddess?

    The goddess who got off the motor, immediately ran into the house. She hugged her mother while crying.

    "What's up, honey ....??" ask his mother who certainly feels the sadness of his son.

    "Mas Eko, Ma'am .... Hua .., hua .. hu ..hu ...." The goddess cannot tell a story.

    "Sorry, Mr. Podin .... Our arrival with Mr. Teacher is willing to convey the news ..." said the police officer who had sat together in the living room.

    "News about my son being in an accident, yes, sir .... This was me going to the school, Mr. .." said Podin, who cut the police conversation.

    "Rubber, Sir .... Maybe the school called the family. We need to say, Mr .... Father's son had an accident in front of the school while crossing the street .... Eko was hit by a truck, sir .... Now it's still in the hospital ..." said the policeman again.

    "Certain ..., my son how, sir ...??? Let's get to the hospital .... I want to know the state of my son, sir ...!" said Podin who is certainly very frightened by the fate of his son.

    "Patience, Sir .... Please Mr. Podin stoic .... Eko, Mr. Podin's son is dead .." said the police officer.

    "Huh ...??!! Eko ..........!!!" Podin screamed hysterically, lamenting his son's negatives.

*******

    An accident that happened in front of the school. Actually, that morning when Eko and Dewi left for school, they took a transport from the road in front of the housing to the school. Because his father, namely Podin, who usually drove his two children, overnight until morning did not go home. So his mother immediately told his children to ride the angkot only. Yes, of course so that his son is not late.

    When Eko and Dewi, these two children came down from the city transport, of course they had to cross the road to enter the school. Then after descending, they both crossed the street. But suddenly, there was a truck coming from the opposite direction. And the truck was going very fast. Probably without being known by Eko or Goddess. It is also possible that the driver did not notice when two children crossed the road. The truck that drove very fast was directly hit and hit Eko.

    "Braakh .....!"

    Eko who could not escape, then was crushed in the street, right in front of the school gate. And the truck that hit Eko immediately escaped. Of course at that moment the people who were there and saw the event were directly on shouting.

    ”Awas... !!”

    ”Hoei....!!”

    ”Walah... there was an accident...!?"

    "Where... ?"

    "In front of the school.... "

    "Who....?"

    "Schoolers.... Schoolgirl SD...."

    Of course, that morning the atmosphere in front of the school was immediately crowded. Everyone was shocked, everyone immediately scattered out. Not only the surrounding community, but also the SD students and teachers. Everyone came out, witnessed the accident. And certainly want to help the child who had an accident, Eko who was crushed by a truck.

    Dewi, his sister Eko who was crossing at the same time, immediately screamed hysterically, crying so badly that even rolled Komeng on the street. Of course, he was so shocked and lamented the fate of his brother who was hit by a truck.

    "Let's help ...!!"

    "Pocket .... It's his blood spattering ...."

    "We .., lha is .... Take the newspaper ...!!!"

    "How ...?!"

    "The victim died ...!"

    "Cover up the newspaper ...!!"

    "Instatus ...."

    "Wadm .... Who is it ...?"

    "Eco, Ms ...!"

    "Mother Goddess ...."

    Some female teachers immediately grabbed the hysterical crying Goddess. The headmaster called the police, reported an accident in front of his school, and took the victims of students from the school. Many people screamed, including teachers also screamed, even female teachers were crying, because they were so excited to see the state of the accident that morning befell their students. The blood that pooled right in front of the school gate, already looked terrible. Especially when watching the body of Eko who was crushed by the truck, it was really very terrible, because the head of Eko who was crushed by the truck was gone from his body, and there was nothing in that place.

    His teacher Eko, a fourth-grade teacher, called his family immediately. The first person to call was his father. But many times contacted, his phone is not active. So the teacher asked Dewi, the phone number in his house. By the Goddess was given the HP number of his mother. Then the teacher called his mother, and of course only said that his son had an accident in front of the school. I dare not say that his son is dead. Of course, so that his mother does not panic.

    Shortly after, police officers came to handle the accident. They opened the newspaper used to cover the body of the victim. And after opening for a while, he closed it again. Surely the police who came could only shake his head. It was a tragic accident.

    "Where is the head ...?" ask the police officer who dared to approach.

    "It has been sought, but not found, Mr. .." replied the resident who had helped by closing the newspaper.

    "Request for help to find his head, yes ..." said the police officer iyu who certainly looked for the head of the victim who no longer existed.

    "What car did ...?" ask the other officer.

    "Truck, Sir .... Directly hit the gas, escape ..." said the people who were there.

    "Know its features ...?" ask the officer again.

    "Truck of a diesel, in front of it is green there is a picture of a snake wrapped around the woman's body, like a snake dancer .... It was dark blue, but there was some kind of painting of the flames from the back of the head to the back door of the truck.

    "At the back door of the truck is a picture of human skulls, sir ....Many skulls ..." added another, who had seen the speeding truck.

    "Someone knows the license plate number ...?" ask the officer again.

    "God .... Don't know, Mr .... The truck was speeding up ..." said the others.

    "The driver's weird, sir .... Like the one who was dressed in the ghost cave that was in the market that night ..." others also added.

    "Yes, right .... The driver looks like a ghost .... Her hair was shuffled, wearing white clothes like child's twigs, and her face was serem ..." another chimpanzee.

    "Don't the night market employees have bad luck ...?!"

    "Yes .., maybe the ghost cave keeper who hasn't had time to change clothes ...."

    "Cnationngg .... Uwing ... uwing ... uwing ....!!"

    The ambulance came. With swiftness his officers directly transport people who had an accident. But a moment later stopped, because the victim's head was missing and had not met.

    "How is this, Mr ...?" ask officer lakalantas.

    "His head is gone .... He said he had been looking, but had not met ..." said the police who came first.

    "But we can't be long .... The victim was clearly dead .." said the officer who was transporting him.

    "Are we just hauling ...?"

    "Yes .... Faster is better ...."

    "Father ..., Mother ..., brothers everything .... Sorry, this victim will be taken to the hospital. Headless .... If later or when, someone finds his head, please contact us directly or report to us" the police officer told people still swarming the place.

    "Ready, sir ..." said the people who were there.

That day, Eko, the first child of Podin, had been in an accident, hit by a truck with a ghost-like driver, as well as a truck with a creepy picture. And Eko's head was missing not found.
