MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 129: COERCION

Herman and Cintia finally finished eating their lunch in the form of their favorite pecel rice together with a glass of warm tea. By the time the two of them were about to leave their table, Mr. Antoni suddenly came to the table.

“Having finished her lunch, Ms Cintia?” greet Mr. Antoni with pleasantries.

Herman who saw Mr. Antoni carrying a tray of cakes already knew what the man was going to do. He could only smile at himself to see the man. This time the man chose to be quiet because he wanted to see firsthand how Cintia overcame such an unpleasant situation.

“I-iya, Sir. We just finished lunch and now our stomach is full,” Cintia replied with a depressed feeling.

Cintia's eyes were already on the cake that was on the tray that the man was carrying.

“Well, that's it, Ma'am. I came to Mbak Cintia to let you know that I have a new cake product that tastes guaranteed endul, Mbak!” said Mr. Antoni while putting a tray containing cakes on the table right in front of Cintia.

“Aduh, Sir. But, my stomach is full, nih!” cintia answered while holding her stomach intending to tell the merchant not to force her to buy the cake again.

“Wah, Mbak Cintia just found out, huh? My latest cake is small. So it does not matter even if it is eaten when the stomach is full. Moreover, the material is deliberately chosen from high-quality ingredients, Guaranteed Mbak Cintia will not regret buying this cake. Oh yes ... One more, this cake is good to eat after a meal, Ma'am. Because it can burn calories so that the body can remain slim Cintia Mbak. If Mbak Cintia remains slim, guaranteed the boys will have a crush with Mbak Cintia all. Isn't that right, Mas Herman?” mr. Antoni said with a slight whisper.

Herman who did not think his name would be called ok Mr. Antoni could only nod because of the automatic response.

“I-iya, Sir!” sahut Herman spontaneous.

“Tuh, right what did I say? Herman said it like that! Mbak Cintia will still refuse to buy my latest cake,”, said Mr. Antoni again.

“Anu, Mr. Antoni. I am still not interested,” said Cintia trying to strengthen herself not to be affected by the words of the cake seller in front of her.

“Mbak Cintia can't believe me, anyway? Here, Miss Cintia can try one. Later, if it is not good, Mbak Cintia does not need to pay,” Pak Antoni replied while picking up one of the cakes and thrusting it on Cintia's right hand.

“But,Pak?” Cintia is still trying to resist the wishes of Mr. Antoni.

“Try it already, Ma'am!” said Mr. Antoni while staring intently at Cintia's eyes.

Cintia at that time could only look alternately at the eyes of Mr. Antoni and Herman. It seems that Herman tried to remind Cintia to try to eat a free cake given by Mr. Antoni and vomit it in front of the man.

Cintia was still hesitant at the time, but she was at a loss as to what to do at the time. Mr. Antoni had closed his mouth tightly at that time. He was just waiting for Cintia to chew on the cake she had already held back then. Finally Cinta had no choice but to eat a small cake made by Mr. Antoni who had already been given to him. Herman who saw Cintia began to bite the cake made by Mr. Antoni was smiling at Cintia and wading a thumb at Cintia. Certainly without Mr. Antoni's knowledge. Cintia chewed the cake made by Mr. Antoni slowly with attention by Mr. Antoni the cake maker and Herman his coworkers as well as people who are liked by Cintia.

By the time Cintia began to chew the small cake, Cintia began to feel the peculiarity of the taste of the cake she ate. The sweetness is unclear, the asinna is unclear, and there are scents that should not be present on a wet cake. Herman who was watching Cintia eat the cake began to see the unusual reaction of Cintia. He also gave the code to Cintia to spit the cake in front of Mr. Antoni. Herman excitedly continued to code Cintia to vomit and remarked badly on the cake given free by Mr. Antoni. The longer, the more excited Herman was because he saw Cintia's reaction that was like holding an eneg in her mouth.

“Where, Sister Cintia? Tasty, right, my new homemade cake?” said Mr. Antoni then while smiling at the beautiful woman.

Cintia who sat was feeling something uncomfortable in her mouth was beginning to feel confused between keeping the feelings of Mr. Antoni or doing the orders of Herman his friend who seemed to have been very forcing her to immediately spit out the cake that was being chewed.

Mr. Antoni's friendly smile and the plotting of Herman floundered in Cintia's mind. Finally, after being stabbed carefully, Cintia also exerted all her energy to swallow the cake she ate into her stomach even though she did it while crunching. After he swallowed it, he hurriedly drank the rest of his warm tea.

The light of what Cintia did made Herman very disappointed and nagged the woman using sign language unknown to Mr. Antoni.

“Lu-mayan, Sir!” sahut Cintia while still holding the remaining neg in his throat.

“Duh, Mbak Cintia so delicious until swallowed at once. Drink a lot, Mother! Let's not be sprained. This sample is like Bu Retno, so I like the same cake made by me until swallowed at once like that,” timpal Mr. Antoni by throwing his best smile.

Cintia could only speak a thousand languages because she could not say anything more at that time. He really has lost against Mr. Antoni. He could not be as strict as Herman's instructions. Finally, he had to give up again that day.

“This, Mbak cake one box. I have added one piece. Want to pay cash what to pay later?” ask Mr. Antoni.

“Pay only, Sir,” says weak Cintia.

”Alright, I say goodbye first, huh? Want the promotion of cake to others first,” said Mr. Antoni as he breezed away carrying a tray containing his homemade cake.

Herman laughed as Antoni left their table.

“Tega you, yes!” cintia's nagging while hitting Herman's shoulder.

“Ouch! It hurts! Tell me who you don't have to be! I have given you the code, you are not strict!” answer Herman.

“How can I be firm, Her! Mr. Antoni is very antusia like that,” replied Cintia.

“Ya already, means your own risk. Can enough cake can make your snacks work?” ledek Herman again.

“That's so good of you, Her! You don't know, it feels weird on my tongue?” answer Cintia.

“Continue wanting the cake? Do you want to be given to a beggar?” ask Herman.

“Her, thanks the guy the best. Wong eaten I just don't feel good about giving it to someone else. Don't love a stray cat already! Maybe the cat wants to,” replied Cintia.

“The cat should not be forced, yes?” ledek Herman's.

“Where is a cat forced to eat, Her? If you do not like it will not be eaten as pointed,” replied Cintia annoyed.

Finally they returned to their room to continue their work that had been delayed.

“Cin, let's now check the CCTV video of the old grandfather and grandmother's shop!” take Herman to Cintia who's already sitting at her desk.

“OK!” suhut Cintia while taking out the laptop from inside her backpack.

Cintia put her laptop on the table and she pressed the power button to turn the electronics on.

Herman immediately dragged his chair next to Cintia. They wait for the process of booting a laptop Cintia that is not so long larena spec is good. Cintia got the laptop two months ago as a facility given the office to her work.

After the booting process was completed, Cintia also opened a folder containing CCTV video footage that he copied from memory in the CCTV channel of the old grandfather's shop.

“Wuih huge file size, Herman!” exclaim Cintia.

“Iya. That old grandpa's CCTV was cool. Understand Japanese products no doubt,” replied Herman.

“Come, we check now, Herman!” bring Cintia.

“OK!” answer Herman.

Cintia also pressed the play button from the video player on her laptop and the CCTV video recording a few days ago appeared on the floor of the monitor. It contained cars and other vehicles that passed around the warng. It turns out that the angle of reach of CCTV cameras is quite wide. Even reaching to the side of the road. The quality of the video recording is also good resolution.

“Swipe the cursor, Cin! It looks like it was a recording a few days ago. It has a date!” herman commented on the contents of the video recording that appeared on the monitor screen.

Cintia also began to shift the cursor that appears on the monitor screen by using his index finger. He shifted to the right slowly according to Herman's instructions.

“Geser ... Slide  …. Terusss .. slide again ... slide again .. hold on! A bit much gesr! Swipe again ... Yak continues ... kind of just slide it, Cin! Terussssss .. shear …. Yak ... slide again! STOP IT!! STOP IT!! STOP!!” herman yelled a little loudly to make Cintia surprised.

“Why stop, Her? Isn't that the car we rode?” cintia protests.

“Swipe left again, Cin! You just got passed! Slide bit!” herman's orders again.

“Which one, Her? I told you just now, it's not the car we rode!” cintia protested while sliding the cursor to the left at Herman's request.

“Well, STOP!” herman's orders were immediately followed by Cintia.

Cintia stared at the monitor screen.

“Large screen, Cin!”herman's orders again.

Cintia also enlarges the image display on the monitor screen. Herman said to Cintia.

“Cin, you saw the man in the cab! Watch carefully!” said Herman.

Cintia also paid close attention to the figure in the car.

“ Yes Lord! That's Mr Dimas!” cintia chuckled in surprise.

“Iya, Cin! Now try playing the video. What exactly did Mr Dimas do on that side of the road?” said Herman.

Cintia pu presses the play button and they both look carefully at the video being played on the screen of Cintia's laptop monitor.

“Loh, who is the man driving the motor that handed something to Mr Dimas? Oh, that package box …. Yes, the package box is what we found at the location of the discovery of Mr. Dimas' body in his room. Means, the person on the bike was a courier who was delivering drugs to Mr. Dimas!” peeked Herman in great surprise.

“Stop! Stopit! Press the screen, Cin. Choose a good angle so that we can recognize who the man is!” herman's orders to Cintia.

“Iya, nice, Cin! Soon the case of this drug will be revealed. I'm so happy today, Cin!” herman said with a happy feeling.

“Iya. Are we going to tell Captain Yosi now? Because we need experts to track the characteristics of the man earlier,” said Cintia.

“Iya, China. In a moment we will tell Captain Yosi about our findings, but try to set once again the video section that was recently there is additional evidence,” replied Herman.

Cintia also played once again the video section related to Mr. Dimas earlier. They both observed the events on the laptop monitor screen more closely. After playing it twice, they were completely satisfied.

“Cin, now we see our car video last night!” herman's orders to Cintia.

Cintia also shifted the cursor to the right.

“Terus ... Continue .. slide on.. yak continue ... yak continue .... continue ... yak slide on.... Stop missed!” said Herman.

Cintia again shifted the cursor to the left.

“Stop! Just right there! Direct press play!” Herman's orders.

Cintia followed the instructions given by Herman. He immediately pressed the triangular-shaped play button that appeared at the bottom of the video. After that, the two of them also jointly pay attention to the CCTV capture of the old grandfather's shop that appears on the monitor screen.

Their hearts began to pound when they did not see the figure of a woman last night whose face resembled that of Miss Larasati. Only the two of them appeared on the monitor screen. Even the back seat was quite clear at that moment. Cintia was looking back and was like she was talking to someone. But the person did not appear on the screen. Herman seemed very carefully watching the picture of himself in the video. He got out of the car to check the engine. After that there was Cintia who got out of the car and tried to find someone. No one got out of that car.

Their minds began to worry and were afraid to see the results of the recording. Doubtfully they played back the video once more to make sure that the woman they met last night was on the screen because all the corners on the car and also on the side of the car were none which escaped from the super-advanced CCTV camera. But again, they both had to find disappointment.

Cintia to tremble because she was so afraid of the experience she experienced last night.

“Cin, it turns out that you were right. The woman last night was not Miss Larasati's twin, but indeed she was Miss Larasati's spirit who was helping us to uncover her case,” said Herman stammering because of the new age this time he experienced mystical events directly.

“i-iya, Her. I am afraid ...,” said Cintia stammeringly.
