Tuban is referred to as Wali City because Tuban is one of the cities in Java that became the center of the spread of Islamic teachings.
But some circles there are who give the nickname as the city of tuak because Tuban area is very famous for producing drinks (tuak & legen) derived from sari siwalan (ental).
It is in this city that Cak Dika and his entourage are currently located. The train brought them here.
The group walked out from inside the station. As usual the grab car they ordered will take them to their destination location.
In the car containing Cak Dika, Rahman, Deni and Mas'ud. They were busy talking about the postal highway.
A highway that was the inspiration of the Roman Empire. The postal highway was built along approximately 1,000 kilometers in Java Island.
Daendels Road, as it is called, stretches from Anyer to Panarukan. A Highway that stretches for 1,100 km from Anyer (West Java) to Panarukan (East Java).
"So here Mas, usually this Redi does his wild racing!" clearly Rahman showed the map to Cak Dika.
Cak Dika who was sitting next to him was watching Rahman's explanation carefully.
"Oh this is the highway that the Dutch built first! Waduh, this is mystical as it seems. Those demon kids could be translators!" said Cak Dika.
His face looks very calm. Not the worries that are engraved there.
"Lohs... If the Dutch era means horror keroso, Mas!" rahman said again.
Cak Dika mangosteen just heard that. He confirmed the words of Rahman.
"Again" said Rahman again opened the map of information he managed to collect from the highway.
There he showed a photo of the crash victim. The victims were two young men who died there from wild racing.
"Wild racing along the Daendels road, precisely at kilometers 7-8 of the road. Tuban City, Palang, precisely in Tasikmadu Village. The victim was found dead at one o'clock in the night. The collision resulted in both of them bouncing and dying at the scene!" rahman told them again.
"That accident-prone location means!" deni said chimed.
"Why was there an accident? People were racing last night. The more the night, those in power there get stronger. Those who are weak in faith must be easily fooled!" cak Dika.
"Come right! So we're here with good intentions. Redi is sorry for the victim who knows nothing. The motor he bought was waiting! So yo, let's help him. Pity if misfortune befalls him!" mas'ud chimed in.
"Hoam..." Cak Dika yawned hearing Mas'ud's narration there.
Hearing that it felt like Mas'ud was underestimated.
"Sak.. You ngremehin me ta?" ask Mas'ud to him.
Cak Dika raised one of his eyebrows. He had no intention of belittling Mas'ud here.
He was just tired and his eyes were heavy now. Why was the boy suddenly as sensitive as Rara when she was menstruating.
"Well I yawn, I don't mean to underestimate you!" said Cak Dika to him.
"Yo you yawned after I talked at length!" mas'ud protested.
"Yes Allah... Ud, why are you so sensitive like those women?" cak Dika said to him.
Feeling increasingly disdained. His language Mas'ud came out. I don't know why that thing has become so sensitive since it got here.
"Oh mboh wes talk about your Dewe! How do you know I speak alien language!" said Cak Dika annoyed when he heard Mas'ud nagging with his Madurese.
Both Rahman and Deni who were there were only able to laugh at what was going on in there.
The car continues to drive through minutes of travel. In the end they arrived at the house of Buk Ijah.
When their car was parked in front of Buk Ijah's residence. The owner of the house came out of the house.
"Assalamu'alaikum Buk!" said Cak Dika greeting Buk Ijah who welcomed him.
Buk Ijah was happy to smile at that.
"Let's go in!" invite Buk Ijah to Cak Dika's entourage.
The Gautama Family group also entered the house of Buk Ijah. When Cak Dika entered first with the others.
Rachel and Thariq who were in the rear row stopped their steps to enter.
Grepp
"Oh!" rachel screeched as she felt her left wrist being gripped by Thariq.
"What's up, Riq?" rachel asked slightly looking down at Thariq's severed face.
Helpme! He almost got me! Please release me!. Said one voice of the young man who was out of nowhere.
There was no vision that Thariq found here. Until he opened his eyes again.
He saw a charred-faced young man standing right beside a racing motorbike.
"That!" thariq pointed at the motor.
When Thariq pointed that direction, Rachel turned her net in that direction. But when Rachel looked there. The figure was gone out of nowhere.
"What's wrong?" ask Rachel again.
Thariq turned his head to the side to meet Rachel's eyes.
"I see a charred-faced young man!" thariq told him.
Rachel was surprised to hear that. Why only Thariq could see it. While he did not feel the presence of any figure here.
"The bike is the source!" thariq said again.
Because you do not want to guess too far before hearing the story directly from the source. Rachel could only smile.
"Judah, let's go inside! Let's listen to what our source says!" take Rachel to Thariq.
Hearing that, Thariq smiled. He then again stepped in with Thariq into the house of Buk Ijah.
Seen there Gautama Family was sitting filled the living room. From inside Buk Ijah brought his son, Rudi to come out.
When taken out. Rudi looks moody. He was silent saying nothing. His face was as gloomy as a depressed person. The eyeballs were empty as if they had not reacted.
Gautama Family noticed. Then beside him Marsya appeared Barend CS who also took notice of Rudi who was silent.
"Marsa!" call Barend to Marsya beside him.
"What?" marsya asked while looking to the side.
"Marsya, half of him isn't her! Half of him is being sealed in one of the many streets of our people!" obviously Barend to him.
It wasn't just Marsya who heard that. Gautama Family also heard what Barend said.
Where is that other road, Barend?. Ask Cak Dika through his inner eyes.
Cak Dika did not say. He was still looking at Rudi. But talking to Barend through his inner eyes.
"Well, that street is called Daendels! That's where half of him is locked up!" barend replied.
Cak Dika nodded then he smiled. After the answer is found. Cak Dika also explained what happened to Rudi at this time.
Starting from the motorbike that Rudi bought. Until the owner of the motorcycle died in an accident. Until Cak Dika also explained. The day Rudi did the race. That's where part of Rudi's self gets stuck.
So there Cak Dika also promised to help Rudi as much as possible. Buk Ijah as his mother Rudi also hopes his son will return to the way he was. Not silent mute pecking like a dead man like this.
