Chapter 14's

"Well, the tires are leaking, Dek!" exclaim Mas Damar.

"Yes it's been, Mas. Stop first. It's in front there's a workshop. "I replied.

Jenar who had fallen asleep, had to wake up with her eyes still sticky. The children I invite to walk, because the location of the workshop is only about 20 meters.

And , Mas Damar. He pushed the motor with it still turning on.

After arriving at the workshop, Mas Damar immediately expressed his intention to patch the tires. The workshop owner nodded, then began to work on his task by occasionally asking.

"Where is this family going?" ask him kindly.

"You to***, Mas. Move!" answer Mas Damar briefly.

"Oh, far away. As good as it is to rest, Mas. Afraid of her midnight to sawangan!" bargain the repairman.

"No, Mas. I'll be a little confused. To get to the city faster. We will rest there." refused Mas Damar.

"Relatedly? Still 20 kilos, loh Mas. Just arrived at the city. What can be penetrated with 2 hours. And the badly damaged road? " The repairman tried to convince Mas Damar.

Actually I was also anxious, but Mas Damar strongly believed in the words of the old woman who became his neighbor there.

After waiting for almost an hour, finally the tire is done. Due to severe leaks in the front and rear, it was eventually replaced by new tires. The tools used are still very simple.

"How, Mas? Are you sure you want to continue? " ask me trying to convince.

"Related, Deck. Still this hunt!" mas Damar said he was back wearing his helmet.

I just follow. Can no longer deny Mas Damar's conviction.

"Mom, Jenar is sleepy" Jenar said as she clung to my arm.

"Prophey, baby. Later bob again on the bike. "my word calms him.

The motor is back. I don't know why I don't see a cheerful expression on Sekar's face at all. Usually the child will laugh and smile all the time. I don't know why he's quiet now.

After passing through the house whose location had started infrequently, our end actually arrived at the sawangan that extended along the way.

Sawangan is an empty area that does not grow trees or stand buildings at all. Ordinary it will only be weeds or elongated shrubs.

The wind that blows opposite the motor current makes the feather shudder. I docked my body to Mas Damar. Squeezing the strings to reduce the cold a little.

Her life was unusual. I feel like there are a lot of eyes watching us. Moreover, the sky is dark without any moon and stars. I was scared, very scared.

But many times I tried to catch my breath, soothe my heart so as not to think.

Sekar began to show a strange gelagat, if we began to enter the sawangan which was grown by weeds along the way he began to point towards the road.

Right from his face he was so frightened. I nudged Mas Damar's shoulder so that, he was aware by the change of his son.

"Mas, look at your son. She why? " i said in panic.

Mas Damar immediately lowered his head and looked towards Sekar.

"What's wrong with you, son? " ask her casually.

"Auu... Auuuu!" yells that are becoming.

His hands were holding on to the steering wheel head even he snapped.

"Mas, what's the matter with your son, Mas? " my exclaim is getting to feel like something's not right here.

"Already, quiet, Deck. Read the basmallah and verse chairs along the way. We'll be fine!" sergeant Mas Damar.

I comply. My mouth was busy reciting the verse of the chair and the short surah. But unfortunately my mind can't focus.

Moreover, the smell of ylang ylang sharply spread around the trip. Although the speed of the motor is getting faster, the smell of the motor flower seems to follow the speed of our motor.

Our motor light suddenly goes out, it makes you more unsettled. Some moments live, but it goes back out and it continues to repeat up to several times.

I think Mas Damar feels bad too. Seen from his hands were also those that looked trembling.

After the lights go off, now the sound of the motor faltering like it will die. Mas Damar is increasingly pulling gas to the pol, but the speed of the motor as usual.

I'm tightening the grip on Mas Damar. He seems to understand too.

The thing I was most afraid of actually happened. Our bike stopped, with very dark road conditions. I immediately felt the bag and looked for the phone, holding Jenar's hand firmly.

"Let's... Auuu!" As busy as I was saying something because I couldn't see his hand movements, I didn't know what he was saying.

He pulled my shirt, with the occasional saying that I didn't know what it meant.

"What the hell is it, kid! What are you talking about!?" my jolt was panicked and upset to see his behavior.

At that moment, I was silent and not acting.

"Prophey Yanti, do not snatch such a child." said Mas Damar.

We filled up the tank before we left. It's impossible if it runs out of fuel.

"How, Mas?" ask me while turning on the flashlight.

"You're calm. Take a breath and calm your mind, Yanti. Like we are getting interference" said Mas Damar Lirih.

I comply. Then try to take a breath, and throw it away slowly. I focused my mind that we were just going to pass by.

"excuse me Mbah, Ma'am, sister, or whoever is here. We just want to ride through, without bothering anyone" said Mas Damar while bowed.

I followed him, but spoke only in my heart.

Mas Damar tried to start the engine again. Thank God this time he wanted to live.

We say hello and thank you before the end to continue the journey. My heart is beginning to be relieved. At least we'll be in town soon.

My dear our exam this time is the eyes. These eyes feel like something is blowing. His taste was eager to be closed. Maybe because it's midnight, it's time for people to rest.

"Let's not sleep!" said Mas Damar who seemed to realize I was sleepy.

"Heheh.. Yes, Mas. Sorry, my eyes are heavy"

I tried as hard as I could to stay awake, but this sense of drowsiness was already very heavy.

Mas Damar stopped the motor speed instantly. I was very sleepy, suddenly very fresh.

"How about, what's going to sleep here?" her question immediately got my clap.

"Hisch... Ngaco you, Mas. Cepet street." cried me who only reply with his laughter.

The motor drove back, until we did not realize now we have started to find one by one the house is getting closer and closer.

My heart is very calm. Mas Damar also said that we would rest for a while in one of the restaurants.

At least I can briefly close my eyes, before it will be another half day on the trip.

Our goal this time was a home-cooked restaurant. There is soto, rice and various side dishes, and there is rice pecel.

This shop is open 24 hours. And this is the only stall open tonight.

Our motorbike clapped, then Mas Damar carried Sekar who looked sleepy too.

This time this child did not throw a tantrum, it made us sure that this restaurant was safe for us to stop by.

After ordering food, Mas Damar also asked permission to stay until the early hours of the morning. Because our journey will not be long. But our energy has been drained since the incident in sawangan.

"You saw nothing, Dek. Passed through sawangan?" ask Mas Damar after we finish eating our order soto.

"Well, what did you see, Mom?" ask me while snacking on skin crackers.

"Mas look. The first one is Kunti. The second is the hairy Mas that's holding our motorbike back." explained Mas Damar who made me painstakingly swallow the saliva.

"Seriously, Mas?" ask me to make sure.

"Well, Seriously! So I ask you to focus and pray." he replied again.

I just fell silent. It was true that my feeling was. I felt something was wrong in the sawangan.

"You're the one who rattles, leaving at night" I chanted.

"Yes already, at least after this there is no more obstacle. All the way up to the area of the house we will live in, there are only houses and villages." said Mas Damar who made me nod.

About two hours we stopped and slept in this restaurant. Mas Damar invited us to continue our journey. Because it will soon be here.

I just nodded, then woke up the children and took them on a journey.

This time it was in the back. Poor him. Jenar was also awake. He lost his sleepiness which was delayed.

The motor continues to go at a speed that is sometimes high and sometimes medium. Depends on the road we meet.

The cold weather was getting worse, as we passed through the hilly area bordering this city with the city we were going to live in.

Along the road full of twists and turns, I could only enjoy every beautiful sight created around here.

The housing we passed, not much. Occasionally we will find a forest that is not much in every settlement gap.

The area is still very beautiful.

It was early in the morning when we arrived at the center of the city. Many residents here with all the splendor of the building.

Makes my eyes stupefied.

"From here it's not far, Dek. Only two hours to go" said Mas Damar who made my smile expand.

The spirit in my heart is growing more and more.
