(Hakiki Hulmi) Episode 18

Singularities

How crowded Tanah Abang market is this Sunday. Actually walking to join the crowd in that market. If you look at it using a drone camera, 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, took a 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. Currently, 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 plan to look around for interesting items or objects to give at Arini's birthday a few weeks away.

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 wanted to simultaneously look for a gift for Arini related to clothing, 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 on 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 this hustle and bustle, it seemed like he would have chosen a quiet road.

The real has gone to the excavator downstairs. Turn around, set foot on the escalator ladder. He was silent but his eyes were looking around. Suddenly, his eyes caught something suspicious. It seems like they are being followed by someone. 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. Probably 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 it, the suspected young man quickly turned 45 degrees, pretending to look at the clothes attached to the mannequin that was outside the shop, but which he saw the women's clothing. The truth is getting suspicious. 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. Entering the clothing store, as if wanting to buy, but his eyes looked towards the escalator. He's looking for the right place to scout. A little hiding behind the mannequin. 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, heading to where he's at the moment, on the same floor. The young man's face was not clearly visible because the black hat worn too deeply covered the head. It seems like he was intentionally wearing a hat like that. 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. Eeeeeeee.. I'm looking for a mukena mba for my sister," she replied.

His ears heard the words of the shopkeeper. Mind realized. Hailing. His face was pale and embarrassed. He also recently realized that the mannequin in front of him only uses *********** 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. uh I mean entered the wrong store. Excuse me," he answered. Get out of that place quickly.

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

Really a little bit of a quick walk. Find mukena 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 him or because of the wrong entry of the store********* and bra. Only he and God know.

He's trying to control himself. His eyes now glanced more often in several directions. He still feels followed and is right. In the distance, he saw the black-clothed young man standing on the pillar of the building. The young man was a little hiding. I could see the man with his eyes. 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 it never knew the existence of its 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. Shows some type of mucene.

The mind is not focused. Just nodding his head as the shopkeeper spoke. Probably didn't hear much from the shopkeeper. His eyes were still glancing and stealing glances to and fro, looking for the stalker dressed in black. But not found. The truth is to choose mukena that are of medium size and of good quality. He also bought peci for his younger brother. Pay for the groceries, then immediately move out of the store. Steps faltered. The real glimpse of the stalker from a distance, was on the right. Standing among the crowd but Hakiki had seen his gait, only the uniter was wearing an all-black outfit and the gelagatnya very strange.

Take a step to the left. Turn around the shop you entered earlier and take it to the left again. Entering another block. Different one block with a hallway shop where out after shopping. Walk quickly through a few 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, take another left. So he turned towards the hallway where the stalker was standing. Intentionally twisted. Walk slowly towards where the stalker is standing. Of course his eyes were looking to and fro. This time it was clearly looking, not looking with the tail of its eyes. 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, stalkers are also looking for someone who is looking for the Truth.

Intended to trap the stalker.  Walking quickly and standing in the middle of the hall, not far from the young stalker, was probably about fifty meters away.  Then stood firmly in the middle of the hallway, his legs widened, his chest puffed up and his hands folded on his chest, groceries 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, automatically turned around. In a hurry and in a desperate condition, the stalker hit 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 while crouching and then ran away from Hakiki.

I really don't see it very clearly. But the young stalker saw his neat hair, like not the usual crooks who were rogue and long-haired. Her skin is clean and white. Like not a stalker in a movie with a cruel face, he thought. The real walk slowly towards the escalator up to the top floor. He thought hard about what happened. Trying to find the answer to some questions in his head and of course not find the answer. He just wanted to go home and rest. That was directly in his mind. And forgot about the stuff for Arini's birthday gift.
