Map of 7 Souls
Singularity : Eps. 19

october 2, 2011 -

Hakiki walk down the stalls in the famous mall in Jakarta around Hotel Indonesia roundabout. He is looking for a birthday present for Arini. From a week ago, he thought hard, what gift is suitable for his best friend, but until now he has not been able to decide. Yesterday he went to Tanah Abang intending to find clothes, but he forgot because of the fucking stalker, he said in his heart.

The young man stopped at the doll shop, noticing so many dolls one by one displayed in the storefront. His big but wistful eyes seemed to solve a very big problem but were still in a relaxed state. The right index finger tapped on his upper lip. "But last year I've given him a doll, it doesn't seem to be for this year." He undoes the intention, then walks back down the hallway of the mall casually.

It's the fourth year he's known Arini. The first birthday was known to Arini, he did not give a gift and did not even say anything, because at that time he was only 4 months to know Arini and was still sitting in the 1st grade Junior High. But because Arini remembers her birthday, a few months after Arini's birthday and her best friend gave her a gift, she finally decided to repay Arini's kindness every year when her best friend celebrated her birthday.

I still think hard. Walking still with slow footsteps, a flat face without a smile but the charm still radiates.

His long footsteps stopped. In front, between the left and right intersection, between, there is one accessory outlet that is right in the middle of the hallway and the outlet is splitting the road to the right and to the left forming an angle of 45 degrees to the right and 315 degrees to the left, like a leg that was stretched and straddled, the booth was in the middle as if it was the stomach of a mall hall map. Maybe this store is designed to be in the middle.

Entirely fixated on one accessory hanging on the neck of a velvet-coated mannequin in black. The locket called him to come closer. He stood about 2 meters away from the accessories storefront. Fixated. His eyes were sharp looking at that thing with a glare. The pendant is in the shape of a woman's head with a neck, beautiful in appearance. Just as much as it's a pendant shape, not the whole body. Her hair was long but there was a part that was carried slightly upwards, the bun was in the shape of a jasmine flower with 5 petals. From the artwork, the beauty of a girl is deliberately emitted. Underneath it is 2 chains and under the chain there is a shiny white stone. While on the other strand there is still a small chain that dangles but under it is not a stone but a toy that is in the form of a small key.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzz....."

"Well...." Hoot sigh. The index finger of the left hand is slightly raised and stiff. Like an electric shock entering the body. His body was silent for a moment. Trying to feel the small electric shock spread in the bloodstream. He then woke up. Quickly step towards the right of the passageway and pass through the shop slowly. He already knew what the locket was made of and he tried to get away. While walking, he turned his head to the left, observing the store until it was almost finished the block of the store, but after that his left leg turned to the left suddenly, arriving, and then, headed for the passageway between the accessories store and the shop next to him, without him ordering. Then turn left again through the left aisle that is angled at 315 degrees according to where he stood rigidly before. It turned out that he circled the accessories store in reflex. Her feet kept moving, she tried to fight but in vain, she finally reached the front door of the accessories store, opened and went inside.

"Good afternoon, how can we help you?" ask the beautiful shopkeeper with a soft greeting.

Totally confused. The look on his face was very visible depicting that expression. He was silent after the door that opened was closed again. He looked down at his feet, then looked around the shop.

"Mas, there's something we can help you with" the waiter asked again. This time he came a little closer to the Truth.

Right away immediately awakened. "Hmmmmmh..... I.. want to buy a necklace," he answered stammered.

"Oh, can. Please look at me, which one."

"Ah.." his sigh. He endured the pain on his fingers, his face slightly flushed. This time nearly ten fingers were electrocuted. A little downcast withstanding the pain.

"Mass?" ask the waiter. She's confused. Find out what's going on.

"Mba, I want a necklace with a pendant of a girl's head on display in front," pointing to the display case. Then he continued, "This is my debit card, please just swipe and immediately packed a neat gift, I wait outside." I tried hard to take the wallet in my pants pocket, then took out one debit card and gave it to the waiter. Then he came out in a hurry, opened the door and waited outside. He stood 2 meters from the shop door.

Of course the shopkeeper was astonished. The store manager who was not far from the shopkeeper earlier, immediately moved out and came to Hakiki.

"Sorry, I really want to buy a necklace with a Madam Rafless pendant, which I pointed at earlier." The manager asked sternly, he's a man.

"Yes mas. My debit card is the same as me. Please proceed quickly." The truth is speaking a little stiff.

"But didn't you see the price first and look at the locket?" ask again.

"The pendant with the traditional girl's head is khan?", the store manager asked to reassure again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Nearly 1.8 million mas."

"Yes already. Processed only directly, packaged neat."

"But at the time of payment, the mas must enter to press the pin in the EDC Card."

"Khan's wireless EDC? Can it be taken out to press my card pin?"

"Oh. Could it be but is there something wrong with our store?.

"No. I'm just not healthy. Please process immediately. Can khan?.

"okay." The store manager went straight inside with a confused face. But he was even more confused when he saw the Truth speak. The young man was not well, he thought.

Actually still waiting for the process of packaging the ordered goods. Sometimes he squeezes his stiff fingers. His face held a little pain but was not as severe as when he was inside the store. Now his body seems full of electric shocks and spread throughout the body according to blood flow. Rome's feathers in both hands stood up. His white face flushed slightly, as well as both ears.

Almost 15 minutes he stood in front of the accessories store. Sometimes he glanced a little inside the store, checking if the order was finished.

Not long after the store manager came out and thrust the EDC Card machine. And he had already brought the goods ordered by Hakiki. So, maybe he thought all of you gave goods directly to the Essence so as not to pacing.

"Sorry, so bother like this. Again I'm sorry." The real show of regret from his face, then he punched some numbers on the EDC Card machine proffered by the store manager. Press the okay button. Put the receipt out.

The store manager ripped the receipt.

"OK mas. It's a receipt and debit card for the mas. Her stuff. Thank you." Thank you." He's bowing a little.

"Thank you back. Again I apologize for being troublesome."

The store manager just smiled sweetly and left Hakiki, entered the store.

The truth is to walk slowly. He took the route where he first walked down the stalls in the mall.

On the other hand, not far from the accessories store, a tall thin-bodied young man had a wide chest field smiling. It looks simple, but charming. He wears a white baseball cap. Wearing a maron-red t-shirt and the bottom is paired with faded blue jeans. His legs are covered with white sneakers.

This young man from the beginning had been paying attention to the Truth until he finally bought the necklace. Then he moved in the opposite direction to the one taken Right. He walked leisurely, straight down the hallways of the mall and towards the elevator. He was waiting for the elevator to go up. The elevator stopped on the 3rd floor, where he was standing. He went inside and pressed the number 7 button to the top and pressed the button ordering the elevator door to close. Before long the elevator moved up, he was alone inside. When the elevator was on the 4th floor, there was a sound indicating that someone else was going to enter the elevator. The elevator door opened slowly. In front of the door stood a young man wearing a blue cap. He wears a white T-shirt paired with brown skinny jeans that fit snugly on the lower body. The shoes are a type of brown deck shoes. The young man entered the elevator, then stood parallel to the young man wearing a white hat that had previously climbed up from the 3rd floor.

They both stood facing the elevator door. The white-covered youth slightly smiled then turned his face towards the young man beside him. "Next it is your duty to draw out his strength." The young man said in a soft tone.

The young man wearing the blue hat laughed. He showed his teeth. Her white face adds to the adorable impression within. The youth who was slightly shorter than the young man standing beside him said, "Give it to me."
