FIZAH (Female Kolong Garbage)
PART 79 "Suddenly Arrive"

*Hafizah Palace

Ratna finished her meal very quickly. Just this time I saw him wanting to chase after someone he didn't know. What happened to Ratna? I watched his enthusiasm. I saw his lips tell me to hurry without any change in rhythm to his voice. His looping and low voice height remained irregular from the start. I comply.

Before crossing the door line, I held back a step.

"Don't be in a hurry, Ratna!"

I myself must also carry two bags on my left right shoulder.

I got out first. Look left right. I threw my eyes two hundred meters in any direction. I looked at Ratna, nodding. I pulled Ratna's arm. I took Ratna to walk over until two hundred meters later. Our steps are safe. We can walk slower. But, unfortunately I have not found Yazeed. He really left us once I didn't agree to his offer. I try to keep myself brave. I thought yes. I haven't been able to meet someone who's taken me to a safe place.

"Ratna, we keep praying, yeah."

"If you had just accepted it?" Steps ceased.

"Honestly I can't believe it."

"I believe it, Zah."

"But relying on that feeling is not enough."

"You usually do, Zah."

"What if..if he's no different from the people there? We don't know what his real motive is."

"But this time I'm sure. Trust me, Zah."

I looked at his face. My eyebrows fused together.

"OKAY. Okay. Where are you going?"

"We're looking for Yazeed until we can."

Since she was pregnant, I obeyed her will. Now we're on the outskirts of a road that's not too crowded. I'm actually quite worried. I was also confused which way to go.

"Ask the old man."

Someone is passing by.

"I'm sorry, if I may know where we can take public transport?"

"Where are you going?"

"We're going to Magetan!"

"Wait for the bus to pass by at the stop, Ma'am. I'll drop you off if I get confused." Pointing towards the south.

"Snell people here?"

"Norgh, Ma'am. I ran out of my goat feed at home." The man whose age ranged under thirty-five was guiding his bicycle.

Also true. There was a sack full of grass in the bonnet of his bike.

Ratna whispered, "Where would they be stopping us there?"

I think Ratna has a point. I looked back. Secretly the two of them were out of nowhere, I rose, I forcefully pulled Ratna's arm until the man did not realize that we were no longer behind her. My breath immediately stung. I hope they both don't realize my move away from her surveillance. They are both like jailos. Not invited home not delivered. Ratna who I was holding her hand was talking about asking what was going on. He looked behind him there was no one. Finally, he took off his hand. I pulled him again even though he was upset.

"There's Mr. Su. They're following us."

I clucked later. Know-how their position has moved in front of me. A little far from my position. He glanced in any direction. I swiftly pulled Ratna's hand, hiding behind the wall of a still deserted restaurant. I saw there, there were only two men nesting and copying their meals. If I go into that place of eating, Mr. Su and Mas Hakim will definitely know because the stall can be reached with one stare. I looked to my left side. There's a pick-up car carrying cargo. I don't know, but it doesn't seem like much of a payload.

"Ratna, there's a car."

Ratna followed my index. Then, he looked at me. Nodding. He understands what I mean.

"I was hoping with us hiding in this pick up, me and Ratna could go far. Mr. Su and Mas Hakim must have always thought we were going to escape by bus, "my inner self.

Not long after, there were two men who were heard chatting something near the car. Their language is like a pesantren.

📞"Gus, stock books we've bought. Sedanten sampun. Wonten's taking maleh mboten?"

Translation: (Gus, we have bought the stock of books. Everything is complete. No more tidings?)

Car door closed.

"Mas, know these two women don't?" And then someone asked. It was obvious Mr. Su's voice.

"Where?"

"The two women. But, she wears a hijab."

"Nluren. How can I not see, sir."

There is no continuation of his voice.

I was relieved when the car went slow. Rewind it. Ratna opened the tarp a little. Ensuring the whereabouts of Mr. Su and Mas Hakim outside. They both haven't left. Ratna hurriedly closed it.

"Why?"

"Something like he saw this car."

"Related you?"

Ratna nodded. My chest was like being hit by something. Drive faster.

"They're bad guys. If they really know or suspect this car, I'm afraid they're gonna follow us, then get in the way of this car, Ratna."

Ratna was sweating coldly. I held her wet palm. He's very scared.

"At least we're with two men. We need to calm down, Ratna."

The journey has taken about half an hour. I don't know where we are. There were no bad signs like the one I was worried about. I opened the tarp a little. There were a few cars lined up in the back. The bike quickly overtakes from the right. I stammered even though it turned out that it was not Mr. Su and Mas Hakim. I became parno.

Ratna overslept. Seeing him sleep, I became sleepy.

A few hours later. I heard the sound of the door closing. The car has stopped. I opened the tarp a little. And, how surprised I was who was immediately faced with the faces of two men who as I remember had eaten in the stall earlier. I memorized the color of the skullcap and the shirt. It feels so shameful. I'm not picking. Mouth's silent. I woke Ratna up with a slow touch of my hand.

The man held out his hand. Staring at me wonder. So is the man beside her. He whispered, then left. He and I are both silent. But, his gaze investigated. Clearly he felt strange why suddenly two strangers hitchhiked in his pick up.

The man who left was back with the man without a copy. Her straight hair is fluttering.

"Every other santri comes in. Don't let there be a hurrah."

The one who was told to immediately nodded in understanding.

"Get out!" gently ask.

Really embarrassed. Ratna's pinching my body.

The man took out two of my bags.

"Where are you going? Come outside!"

I still don't answer.

"Please out! The cargo will be removed."

Ratna and I went down the car slowly. I looked around. Although honestly I was very embarrassed to be caught by three men at once, but I was very happy to find my whereabouts now. I'm sure I'm in the pesantren. I don't know where it is.

"Gus, can we talk to you for a second!" The voice came from my left. I'm turning. Haaa?

The man smiled faintly.

"Well, is this the lodge she's talking about?" my inner.

"That's Yazeed, right?" ask Ratna.

"Yes. I'm astonished. Everything's sudden and unexpected, Ratna. What if this is really the cottage he's talking about?"

"This time my feet are right, Zah."

Yazeed and the man called gus approached.

Sorry just got up. Yesterday 2k words were missing. So, it should be up today 5k words, but it can only be 3k only. May you wait patiently. Jazakumullah khairan's.. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
