MIRACLE MIRACLE MIRROR
NINETEENTH EPISODE

"This? Village Office?"

Ali's surprised.

A small building that looks more like a boarding house, there is only a signboard the size of one meter and a half meters reads:

...KA-DUT VILLAGE...

...WONO-IRIS...

...JAVA TE-GAH...

Ali's eyes swept through the writing that some of the letters were missing.

Even the basic color of the board that should be white has turned dull yellow so less like the office of the village.

Keti down from the back seat of Ali's mountain bike.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Geez, the conditions are really awful!" muttered Ali slowly. He was also afraid if his voice was heard by the state apparatus working in the village.

"Where is Satan?"

"Said Miss Susana, sir Satan was told to tripe the grass around the office!" answer Keti makes Ali hiss. "What office? It looks more like an empty room!" Slowly his voice.

"Come on!" take Ali to Keti.

Keti.

The girl followed Ali while wagging her hair that was pigtailed like a cat wagging its tail.

"Assalamualaikum, excuse me!"

"Waalaikum salam. Can anyone help?"

Ali gasp.

A man about 50 years old dressed in service like the PNS in the village office stood up from his seat.

Their eyes looked at each other.

"Ketti? What was? Want to take care of the papers?" asked the man, but looked at Keti.

"No, Mr. Toha. Here, Ali Akbar. New residents living in Kandut village. Filling his house Mbah Toro Margens. Make a report of moving from Jakarta."

"Oh, so! Come, please sit down!"

Ali extended her hand while smiling.

"I'm Ali Akbar, sir! I want to make a report of moving to this village. So the father citizen. Hehehe.." he said he tried to be as courteous as possible.

"I'm Toha, Kadus here. Hehe... Hope you stay here!"

It turned out that the Head of Kandut Village was friendly as well.

Ali gave the map that had been held by Keti.

"This, the affidavit moved from my previous residence. Here, a photocopy of ID cards too."

Mr. Toha checked the documents that Ali submitted. Head nodded.

"The good young man. Know the good state governance." The thrill made Ali blush.

"A lot of people are indifferent to their own homes. Especially the newcomers who will only stay a month and two months. Hehe... They rarely report moving domiciles."

Ali laughed a little. I nodded despite not daring to comment.

"Live here because I have a letter of Mbah Toro's home certificate, sir! Hehehe.., all go home to their parents."

"That's good. Empowering hometown. Do not urbanize. The village is deserted because its citizens go to the city. Hehe..."

"By the way how many KK are here, sir?" ali asked after feeling their chatter was already more familiar.

Ali's stunned. The face of Kadus Toha sir looks stiff.

"One hundred KK, pretty much anyway. But...why do the houses look deserted and empty? Even many houses collapsed because the owner left behind. Do those hundred KKs include the owners of abandoned houses, sir?"

Mr. Toha looked at Ali's face seriously.

"It's been going on for about ten years."

Ali listened to Mr. Toha.

"What... is there a problem?"

Mr. Toha sighed.

Jeleggerrr

Plashhh

Byurrrs

Instantly a torrential rain fell suddenly after lightning struck above the sky.

They move from the seat located near the glass so that it feels tampias rain water.

Keti immediately jumped in search of a warmer place, away from the torrent of rain that entered through the window.

Kuprak.

Everyone looks towards the door.

Seen Pak Satan who was wet with rain water that came suddenly.

"Origin? A keti? What are you doing here?"

"Create a report on the move, sir! What are you doing?" Ali asked after answering.

"Again grass tripe, Li!"

"It turns out you know each other." Mr. Toha chimed.

"Yes, Sir. Ali's Embah Toro's grandson."

Mr. Toha and Mr. Satan looked at each other.

Jeleggerrr

The lightning returned to make Keti approach Ali until their skin touched each other.

"Sir, I'm confused... The family card of the natives here is a hundred. But where are the citizens? Because along this road, I only saw Mr. Satan's stalls and some houses that have residents. The rest, even I don't see anymore."

Again Mr. Toha and Mr. Satan looked at the words of Ali.

"Ali..., this village, is cursed!"

Ali gawking.

Jeleggerrr

Jeleggerrr pyarr

Everyone is surprised not to play.

A large tree seemed to be struck by lightning and fell down to make a loud noise.

"Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullahal'adziiim!!! What curse?" pekik Ali said the phrase istighfar.
