Singularity : Eps. 18

How crowded Tanah Abang market is this Sunday. Actually walking to join the crowd in that market. If you look at it using a comraderone, then the humans in this place deserve ants that roam to and fro.

Hakiki asked for help by his mother to look for cloth materials in Tanah Abang. His mother wanted to make a mukena for her sister. Of course his mother could sew if only for family purposes, but if to take a dress order from a customer, his mother would think back.

The young man who had a big but perfect nose was using the bus from his home to Tanah Abang. This market is quite famous in Jakarta if the affairs of fabric materials and everything related to clothing, both men's and women's clothing. Now the Tanah Abang market is more developed, many kinds of goods are sold, ranging from bed covers, mukena, bed linen, shoes and accessories are also there. Many are also from other provinces for shopping in Tanah Abang and goods are only sent through shipping services.

At first Hakiki thought according to his mother's wishes to buy cloth materials but for a long time he thought and decided to buy ready-made mukena, so his mother did not need to bother sewing anymore. Then also he plans to look around for interesting items or objects to give on Arini's birthday in a few weeks.

The truth is already in block B of Tanah Abang market. He was informed that the mucena section was in Block B on the lowest floor or lower ground. Actually, he did not enjoy a place like this, but because he was also only 2 times to this market since he lived in Jakarta and because he wanted to find a gift for Arini related to clothing, which was related to clothing, he finally decided to go to this market.

The blocks of stores filled with goods, were all filled to the brim in this market. All the items being sold are not enough just inside their store block but also arranged outside. Many mannequins are outside in attractive clothes or skirts or pants. The alleys between the buildings per block also felt narrow because of the abundant merchandise out. Not to mention the people who passed by in the alleys without rules. Pantes alone copet can roam freely.

Tracing the narrow alleys is not easy. The truth must be how many times to keep his body from colliding with others. There were people walking straight ahead but their heads and gazes were facing the shops that were at the side. Maybe he was looking for something so important that he didn't notice people walking in the opposite direction. There is also an incident of attraction between one buyer and another buyer, probably because the price of the item is very cheap, so many pieces, while the item is only one. There are also customers bidding in a loud voice and forcing the seller to give a cheaper price and finally the seller was upset and rebuked in a high tone. If the matter of the fanfare of the seller who offers goods from their respective stores, it has been known the Truth from the past when he accompanied his mother for the first time to this market. All sellers we pass by will offer their goods and call mas or mba and try to herd customers to his shop.

Unfortunately, the downstairs that Hakiki had to go through those shops. If he could not have to pass through it, he would have chosen a deserted path.

The real has gone to the excavator downstairs. Turn around, then he set foot on the escalator stairs. He was silent but his eyes were looking around. Suddenly, his eyes caught something suspicious. It seems like he was being followed by someone. He saw a young man wearing a black leather jacket, wearing a black hat and wearing black jeans. In broad daylight like this wear clothes like that, he thought. Very quaint.

That person looks young. Maybe his age. Judging from his posture, his height might be the same, but his body was thin and smaller than the Divine. When Hakiki saw him he turned 45 degrees, then pretended to see the clothes attached to the mannequin outside the shop, but what he saw was women's clothing. The truth is getting suspicious. Then he pretended not to look and lowered his head. He was already half the length of the excavator heading down. After reaching the lower floor Hakiki rushed to take to the left. Then he went inside the clothing store, as if he wanted to buy, yet he looked towards the escalator. He's looking for the right place to scout. He's a little bit hiding behind the mannequin on display. He just wanted to make sure that was true what he was expecting. Before long, his mouth accidentally opened a little.

"Oh."

Entirely surprised. The young man he saw earlier was at the excavator and headed downstairs. Yeah, to the place he's at right now, on the same floor. The young man's face was not clearly visible because the black hat worn too deeply covered the head. He seems to be wearing it that way. I only see the cheeks and ears.

"There's something you can help with" the shopkeeper asked.

Entirely surprised. The mannequin in front of him shifted due to being hit by his elbow.

"Oh. Eeeeeeeee... I'm looking for mukena mba for my sister" she replied.

Hailing. His face was pale and embarrassed. He also realized that the mannequin in front of him only used underwear and bra. This time his eyes were glaring. Almost out. Her lips formed a line downwards, it seemed like she wanted to cry. "Sorry mba. I entered the wrong room... I mean I entered the store wrong. Excuse me," he answered, and he quickly left the place.

"God.... Thank goodness you are cute. I'm sorry," chirped the waiter.

Really a little running. He's looking for a shop. His steps were a little hasty and disorganized. His face was a little pale. Is it pale because of the young man who followed her or because of the wrong entry into the panties and bra shop. Only he and God know.

He was trying to control himself. His eyes now glanced more often in several directions. He still felt followed and it turned out to be true. In the distance he saw the black-clothed young man standing at the mast of the building. He's a little bit in hiding. I could see the man with his eyes. He was trying to behave normally. It seemed that the young man did not realize that the Truth knew was being followed. Not far from where the young man was standing, there was a shop selling mukena. The real walk towards the store casually as if he never knew the whereabouts of his stalker. Apparently, the young man moved quickly and disappeared. I actually went into the store and he talked to the waiter.

The shopkeeper took some goods and showed the customer the Truth. He showed some kind of mucena.

The mind is not focused. He just nodded his head. Maybe he didn't really hear what the shopkeeper said. His eyes were still glancing and stealing glances to and fro, looking for the stalker dressed in black. He didn't find. The truth is to choose mukena that are of medium size and of good quality. Then he also bought a peci for his younger brother. Paying for the groceries, he immediately walked out of the store. Steps faltered. He caught a glimpse of the stalker from a distance, being on the right. Standing among the many crowd but Hakiki had seen the gurgle, only he was wearing an all-black outfit and the gelagatnya very strange.

Take a step to the left. Then he circled the shop he entered earlier and took it to the left again. He entered another block. It was a block away from the store where she came out after shopping. He walked quickly through several blocks of shops. His eyes looked to the left, watching the hallway of the other block, where he saw the stalker. After feeling quite past a few blocks, he took another left. So he turned towards the hallway where the stalker was standing. He deliberately twisted. He walked slowly towards where the stalker was standing. Of course his eyes were looking to and fro. This time he was clearly looking, not looking with his tail. He saw the figure of the young man in the middle of the hallway, in the crowd of the market, not in his original position. It seems he was looking for someone too.

Intended to trap the stalker. Then he walked quickly and stood in the middle of the hall, not far from the young man, maybe about 50 meters. Then he stood firmly in the middle of the hallway, his legs widened, his chest puffed up and his hands folded over his chest, his shopping goods hanging on his right hand. It looks very manly. The True Face is challenging. He put on a proud face reinforced by using a sharp look in both of his eyes.

The young man looked from a distance. Surprised, he turned around. Because he was in a hurry and in a desperate condition, he crashed into someone who was behind him. The black hat he was wearing fell to the floor.

"Where are my eyes!!!" It turned out that the customer who came from Medan was visiting Tanah Abang.

The young man crouched down, picking up the hat that fell on the floor. He turned his head towards Hakiki as he crouched down and ran away, away from Hakiki.

I really don't see it very clearly. But he saw the young man's hair was neat. Her skin is clean and white. Like not a stalker in a movie with a cruel face, he thought. Then he walked slowly towards the escalator up to the top floor. He thought hard about what happened. He was trying to find answers to some of the questions in his head and of course he didn't find those answers. He just wanted to go home and rest. That was directly in his mind. He forgot about the stuff for Arini's birthday present.
