MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
CHAPTER 10: CCTV FOOTAGE
I always lowered my eyes every time Mr. RT tried to look at me and I didn't talk much at the time. What was on my mind at the time was how I was able to get out of that place. It's not comfortable to be in that position.
"Okay, can we see the CCTV footage in front?" ask Mommy Ning later.
Mr. RT's face seemed surprised to get such a question.
"Well, did any of your stuff go missing last night, Ning?" Mr. RT asked.
"Oh that's not what it means. None of my stuff is missing. It's just, I need to see the results of the CCTV footage last night because Dik Sinta this last night saw something suspicious in front of the house," replied Mbak Ning diplomatically.
"Oah, kirain Ningrum. What did Dik Sinta see last night? Don't tell Sinta this is being peeped at someone, huh?" ask Mr. RT to me.
"Oh, no Mr. RT .. uh M-mas Galih. Not so either. Last night I saw a strange object in front of the house, but it was just as I saw it this morning with my husband no longer there" I stammered in nervousness.
I deliberately emphasized the word 'husband' when talking to this Mr. RT to know that I am married and it is not appropriate for him to behave like that to me.
"Ooo ... Sinta is married apparently, huh? I guess it's still bujang because it looks like a girl. Okay, then I'll take a cell phone for you to see the CCTV footage last night" RT said as he moved from his seat.
"good. We will wait, Galih," replied Sister Ning politely.
Not until five minutes, Mr. RT was back with his phone. After that, he opened an application in it and clicked on some buttons that appeared on the screen.
"What time did it happen last night?" ask Mr. RT to me.
"Throughly twelve o'clock more," I replied politely.
Mr. RT showed a video of the CCTV footage last night and it was shown to both of us.
"Please swipe the button to check if there is anything suspicious. Usually, there are no more people who pass by here. At least six o'clock in the morning then the front neighbor passed because he wanted to go to work," said Mr. RT while thrusting his phone to Mbak Ning.
Ms. Ning received the phone and watched it with me in front of Mr. RT. The time on the video screen shows at 00.00 WIB. We watched carefully the video while randomly swiping the buttons from 12pm to fiveam as Mas Diki and I checked forward. As long as we watched it, we didn't find anything strange that the video showed. Mr. RT patiently waited for us both to watch the video. While we both feel anxious because we have not found someone who passed by in the video.
"Getter, can this video be sent to my WA number? You see if you are watched at a glance afraid that someone is missed, while if you watch full like it takes five hours. If the video is sent to my number, it would be good to be taken," Mbak Ning asked then.
"Good idea, Sister Ning. That way I don't have to stay here too long" I said in my heart.
"Oh, can Ningrum. You just send me your wa number. I sent the video," replied Mr. RT.
"Oh my God!!!" screeched Ma'am Ning suddenly.
"I forgot my number, Galih. Hape I was also left behind at home," Ma'am Ning replied suddenly.
"Your number I keep in my phone really, Ma'am," as I take out the phone.
Ms. Ning and Mr. RT were directly staring at me.
"This is Dik Sinta bring a hape. Pake WA number Dik Sinta alone is more than still bother looking for Ningsih number," said Mr. RT.
"No, Mas Galih. I forgot my number. If Ms. Ningrum's number is listed on my name's contact list," I replied while scrolling through the names of my phone contacts.
Maybe because of nervousness, the name of Mbak Ningsih I never found.
"No, I didn't see you. Let me hold the hape!" said Mr. RT while seizing the phone that I hold.
I don't know why I was silent when Mr. RT seized the phone in my hand, but I think it was disrespectful. I can only look at it when Mr. RT opens the WA application and clicks on the button that displays the barcode on my phone. After that he also scanned the barcode using his WA application and we ended up making friends with each other in the WA application. Something that really made me regret finally happened as well. Mr. RT also returned my phone and he sent the video recording on his phone.
"This is how if we forget the WA number. Yummy, right?" ask RT sir to both of us.
I didn't answer because I was still upset by this man's presumptuous attitude. Ms. Ning was the one who was bearded as an answer to Mr. RT's question.
"Galih, we're saying goodbye, huh? I think the mothers started coming home. It's not good to make them work without our company," said Ms. Ning later.
Finally, the time I was waiting for arrived. I've been caught off guard at this man's house that I find disrespectful. I don't know how the story is how this person was chosen to be the chairman of RT? Is there no one else more polite to hold the position?
"Yes, Ningrum. I'm sorry, are you here not treated?" said Mr. RT.
"Oh, it's okay, Galih. The important thing is that we've got the video recording audah very grateful," Ms. Ning replied.
"Oh, yes, if you need anything or see anything strange again, don't hesitate to report to me. Dik Sinta, I already have my WA number, so can be contacted at any time. God willing I will come to help soon," replied Mr. RT while throwing his perverted smile at me.
"Damn it, ogah ah, I don't want to call your number, Mas Galih. At the most this is your number I just delete it from my phone contact," I wrote in my heart.
"Thank you, Galih. Assalamualaikum ...," Ma'am Ning's greeting.
"Everything. Waalaikumsalam," replied Mr. RT.
We both left Mr. RT's house to Ms. Ning's house. Along the way I have prepared blasphemous words to nag my cousin's brother.
