Legend of Pinto's Pinto Ring (RING TREASURY OF KING SULAIMAN),
*****
A light blue angkot stopped in front of them, the hauler driver let out a hand greeting them, saying hello,
"Kawi Mountain is buk?" ask the driver.
"I mupuppong nang Gunung Kawi" said the driver who said that he would go up to Mount Kawi.
"Yes mas" said Cicilia briefly, the day is already noon if still waiting for the car is very difficult because it is fortunate for there to be angkot to Mount Kawi at this hour.
The angkot driver came down and brought Gayatri's mother's bag and was stored in the angkot. They boarded the angkot after all sitting down the car began to walk slowly.
"The number to mount kawi is only light blue, today the only one who climbed to the mountain kawi yes this car" said the driver when the car began to run.
On the front bench a middle-aged couple sitting next to their driver seemed to be of Chinese descent. Cicilia understand that not all angkot want to continue to mount kawi unless passengers can four or more "yes maybe because they are just angkot this want to go up to mount kawi" thought Cicilia.
"You want to go to Mount Kawi, ma'am?" asked the middle-aged man in front with a Chinese accent.
"Yes .. I also went to Mount Kawi right?" ask Cicilia.
"Yes ... We husband and wife told friends that in Mount Kawi there is a magic shaman who can help smooth sustenance and overcome the problem of difficulty obtaining offspring" said the man.
"Ooo so" said Cicilia understand that the mystical nuances of Chinese are rather thick in the slope of Kawi. It is not advisable for Cicilia if the Chinese who go to mount kawi just perform shamanic rituals.
Angkot runs quite slowly either because of the climb or because the car is not healthy, even though there are only four passengers, plus Fhadlan and Tatang. Moments later, their car entered a deserted pine plantation. The streets look empty, there are rarely cars that cross with them, Mount Kawi should only stay an hour away.
Arriving the engine of a dead car is not strong through an incline, somehow the car is very difficult to turn back on, making the driver look irritated, until the day before the car is back to life.
Fhadlan and Tatang who had fallen asleep woke up, he rubbed his face when the car returned to walk. His stomach began to rumble because from lunch he had not eaten.
Seen from behind the car glass, pine trees neatly lined up. The angkot driver clucked upset, he should have left early so as not to stay like this.
Fhadlan who was feeling hungry started to whine at Cicilia.
“Tan...Hungry cave,” Fhadlan told Cicilia.
“Same, lan. Where there are no more traders,” timpal Cicilia.
Cicilia asks the driver to slow down the car.
“Pelan-pelan aja pear, who knows we find angkringan in front,” said Cicilia.
Sure enough to surprise Cicilia saw an angkringan stall on the side of the road. It seems like a coffee shop that provides a menu of boiled noodles as well.
"Stop pears stop first my son is hungry" said Cicilia.
The driver stopped slightly forward from the position of the angkringan stall. after the car stopped they all went down and stormed the angkringan stall. Their stomachs are very hungry, can't wait to be fast in the food.
There were three men who were visiting Angkringan. The three of them were thin, wearing shabby brown t-shirts and black trousers. Regardless of the three men Cicilia approached the shop owner ordering boiled noodles.
"Mak order four boiled noodles" said Cicilia then returned to the place where Gayatri and the children sat.
After their order was ready, they immediately ate their food, either because they were hungry or indeed the noodles were delicious, so that for a while they had spent their order boiled noodles.
So greedy to eat from Fhadlan's forehead and Tatang pouring profuse sweat sometimes dripping into the bowl of noodles without realizing it.
"Gok ... Fhadlan was full" said Fhadlan, shaking his head.
Cicilia approached the owner of the angkringan stall asking how much their order was worth.
"How much mienya mbak" asked Cicilia.
The owner of the stall did not answer to only give his finger code ten, maybe because of mute but who was stung in Cicilia's mind if the bowl of noodles cost ten thousand, it cost ten thousand, then in the exit of two pieces of money Twenty thousand and then handed over to the owner of the stall.
“Mas, I think something is wrong,” Cicilia said to the driver when she returned to the car.
The driver also became suspicious.
“Iya ma'am, mendingan we continue on the road,” take the Driver.
Without chiming in the words of passengers, the angkot driver left the angkringan. Sometimes he looked back and the woman who owned the angkringan stall was still staring at him flatly.
"The devil's tuh," decak Fhadlan.
"Hus, don't say anything at all," timpal Cicilia pulled Fhadlan's hand..
There was something strange when they returned to the car, the front car seat was filled with jasmine flowers. I don't know who planted the flowers. The driver and the two passengers in front began to panic, they then threw away the jasmine and immediately hit the gas.
The car was speeding through the road uphill and cornering, all those who sat in the car quietly did not know what to talk about.
"Mas! Mas! Look what it is!" cicilia shouted pointing forward.
"Setannnn" The driver who was driving the car shouted in panic while also pointing at something in front.
"Hannntuuu.." they shouted together.
There were three skinny men sitting in an angkringan stall, like floating quickly in front of their car. The bodies of the three men were like floating in the air with their feet not stepping on the ground.
"Kang slowly slowly in the back there is a car" said Gayatri.
The driver and all the passengers were greatly relieved when a car was seen behind them, and the driver slowed down as the car behind gave a code to move aside to give way.
"Please mas" said the driver while issuing a hand giving a code so that the car behind precedes them.
Surprisingly, when it has moved to the left the driver continues to be led by the car behind him. When looking at the rearview mirror, the driver is quite upset with the driver behind him.
"Sentannn ... let's go through" said the driver annoyed.
But at that moment he was shocked, because when looked at in the right and left rearview mirror there was not a single vehicle behind him. Road conditions were completely deserted, including in the opposite direction.
"Just see there's no car behind us" the driver asked.
Simultaneously Cicilia and Gayatri saw from the rear glass, as the car behind him turned on the dim light again. And the condition is the same, the car is only seen in the middle rearview only. Because he was still curious, the driver several times looked at the rearview center, left, and right to ensure the existence of the car behind him earlier.
"There were no cars, only two flashlights floating in the air" Cicilia's voice trembled
When they arrived at the top of the hill the driver returned to gas, but when the car drove suddenly in front of him there was a tronton truck and suddenly made the driver shocked. Fortunately the driver's response was very fast and then beat the steering wheel to the right to avoid the truck.
This really astonished the driver. Because before the incident the road conditions were completely deserted, there was not a single vehicle in front of him. But suddenly there could be a truck in front of him.
"Aaaaahhhkkk brakenya blong" shouted the driver when he realized that the brake feels blong, but, even though the driver tried to drive back to the left but still drove to the right of the road where there is a very deep gap.
"Braaakk" the car crashed into a roadblock and fell into a bottomless abyss.
