Pickup Transportation
(Part 1: Sister Rosa)
“New home Mbak?” Aditia greeted the passengers of her transport car.
“Iya Dit, just shift day so night home.” Rosa who is a cable rolling factory worker answers her subscription question.
Rosa used to sit in front while riding an angkot, especially the driver Aditia, she strongly believes that Aditia is a friendly and polite person. Unlike other transport drivers, it tends to be brash when it is night.
“Dit, quiet yes no ordinary kayak.” Rosa asked.
“Ah no, rame.” Aditia smile.
“Luck does not test yes Dit, if not hard way from the factory out.” Indeed the factory where he worked away from the big streets where angkot.
“Tomorrow I do not narik ya, so go up aja passing first, do not go home too late, pity your children Mbak, wait at home.” Rosa is a widow of 3 children, her husband went with other women, Rosa feels comfortable telling stories because Aditia is a good person and nice to talk to, so they look familiar.
“You know I was waiting for you, abis if others I fear Dit, understand, I am a woman, it's late at night, even though my clothes are covered gini still if the intention is evil mah.”
“Iya that's why I said, if you need to ask for a pick up subscription ojek yes, Mbak.”
“Ngak Dit, expensive, right home Mbak Far.”
“Yaudah important be careful only mbak.” Aditia reminded me back. Aditia does consider Rosa like her own sister, because she sees her mother in Rosa. Struggling alone to care for 3 children. The difference is that Rosa was left by her husband because of infidelity, if her mother Aditia was left dead by her father and angkot this is the only inheritance from her.
...
“New home Ka?” Dita, his sister Adit asked.
“Iye, Where is no food?” Aditia asked.
“Tuh at the dinner table, I slept about 30 minutes ago. Wait for you to know, come home really late what time is this.” Dita pointed at the wall clock that had shown at two past ten in the evening.
“Bawel," replied Aditia.
“Lu rese, angkot tuh usually only until ten, and then go home. Well you're two o'clock past just home, nganter satan you!”
“Huss .... “ Aditia covered her sister's mouth with a palm.
“Napa?” Even though it was closed, Dita can still ask.
“Ntar disamperin satan lu.” Aditia scares her sister who is very timid.
Instantly Dita immediately hugged her brother carelessly, Aditia laughed with satisfaction because she managed to prank her sister, even though what Dita said was not entirely wrong.
“Dah ago, your weight, do not realize yourself big body is still aja coward.”
“Elu rese, already ah I want to sleep in the room.” Dita and her mother slept in a room, because it was their home that only had 2 rooms.
“Dit,”Aditia called her sister, turned on the flashlight from her mobile phone and pointed it at her own face, just as Dita looked up.
“Kak!!” Dita immediately ran to her mother's room.
Tok ... tok ....
Someone knocked on the door when Aditia was enjoying a simple meal. He never eats out, always goes home hungry.
Aditia saw the clock show at three in the morning.
He then approached the door, as he was near the door the knock became loud and irregular.
“To-looonggg .... “ A heavy and raucous voice came from behind the door, Aditia picked up something from her jeans pouch.
The knock on the door again sounded but slowly as before.
Aditia started chanting,
“Diteuteup ti hareup sieup,
Mikaeunteup,
Mangka eunteup sieup,
Ka's crewed, ka,
Ti luhur kuwung-kuwungan,
Panca buana in central buana panca,
STAY ALERT!!!”
Along with the shouts of expelling, he also pressed the thing he took from his pants pocket onto the door, so that it stuck to the door, knocking the door still there but very weak, very weak, again Aditia attached the object with her hands to the door more tightly and immediately the sound from outside stopped.
...
“Kok tumben ngeh if I pass?” Aditia asked. Rosa just looked down.
“Mbak, any problem?” Aditia asked again, while the one asked was still downcast.
The night air was cooler, Aditia occasionally looked at Rosa who was still down.
“Mbak? healthy kids?” Aditia tried to melt the atmosphere again.
“Dit, stop here,” Rosa talk. After almost 30 minutes, they kept quiet.
“Why Mbak?” Aditia was astonished, but still stop the speed of his vehicle near the gate of the cemetery area, Aditia did not want to stop too long here.
“Dit is right you said yes, it turns out your angkot is rame every night.” Rosa spoke with a blank look forward.
Aditia glared and asked, “What did you see?”
“They.” Rosa pointed to the back of Aditia's angkot, without turning her body, only her finger pointed back.
Aditia limp and pay attention to the entire body of Rosa carefully, Aditia is indeed rarely seen clearly the body of the passenger, because it is not polite, especially someone sitting next to the driver, can be considered harassment. But this time he was forced to pay attention to Rosa's body and make sure while hoping that what he thought was wrong.
“Mbak!!” Aditia cried after screaming for Rosa's name, she was crying like a child with tears pouring out incessantly.
“Adit, Mbak has tried nurutin as you said, ride the first angkot passing, but it seems that day is the time Mbak.” Rosa crying.
“That day after three days you did not catch, Mbak came home very late because Mbak Shift day and came home at ten pm but continued overtime to add money because the youngest wanted to go to school, and then he went to school, mbak so go home late, at 11 pm just come home. Ma'am riding the first angkot that mbak met. It was a bit suspicious because not long some young men rose, they smelled of alcohol, Mbak sat next to the driver as usual, but somehow suddenly the driver turned his angkot to this cemetery.”
Aditia was still crying but focused on listening.
“After the angkot stopped in the middle of the funeral, they forced Mbak down, see Adit.” Rosa showed me both hands. “Mbak not wearing jewelry, wearing closed clothes. But, look at Adit what they do.” Rosa showed me her stomach.
The stomach was stuck in a wood that looks sharp on both sides, fresh blood coming out of the stomach, Aditia crying again.
“They gang-raped Mbak, then killed Mbak with this wood. They were drunk Adit, it hurt so much. They buried Mbak who is still in a dirty state in this cemetery with unworthiness.”
Rosa shows her place, Aditia and Rosa are already in the cemetery area.
“Please Mbak, Adit. It's been a week they've been waiting for Mbak to come home, Ma'am's kids, Adit.”
Adit nodded and called the police, looking for traces of the crimes of the young men, after which came the police and dug the grave appointed by Ms. Rosa, of course the police he used to call.
“How young is Dit?” Mr. Dirga who is the head of the crime division police asked, this man has known Aditia since childhood, his father used to always report events like this.
“Rosa said five sir, the only angkot driver, but the characteristics that Rosa said I did not know, maybe the application driver because I know all the angot drivers in this trayek.”
Mr. Dirga exhaled and prayed for Rosa.
“Tell Rosa, return to nature, the world will be my business,” Mr. Dirga said.
“Mbak, don't worry, the three children will help me meet with good people so that they can still go to school, I already have a regular donor for orphans, without them going to the orphanage. Ikhlas Mbak, after this let their grandmother take care of him.”
Rosa nodded and thanked him and left along with the appearance of fragrant jasmine from the grave that had been excavated. It was there that his body was buried with contempt, but now he will be properly buried and return to his Lord.
Aditia returned to her angkot and saw there were still five passengers, now she had to find the head of Mr. Asep, he said, he said he was in the begal and his head was beheaded with a machete and then left in the bush near the times, it is not difficult to find times according to the characteristics that Mr. Asep said.
Then there was a grandfather who was left hungry by his granddaughter who wandered far away, his legs were rotting, Aditia sighed and began to imagine Dita would nag again, but want how else, he said, this is a trust from Dad.
...
His name is Aditia, currently he is 22 years old, entered college at the University of Indonesia because he got a scholarship, if he went to college in the morning narik angkot, he had to go to college and work because his father had died, the only one who makes a living is Aditia, she has to finance her mother and sister, although sometimes mothers take a job catering in people's place, but it is not enough for their daily needs.
At the age of 20 years Aditia, his father was sickly and finally critical because of the disease that until now a mystery to their family, but that is not what makes Aditia's life changed, Aditia, Aditia a young millennial must hold the trust of her father, a trust that if anyone hears it will laugh and even insult.
“Nak, drive this angkot, accept all types of passengers and deliver them with all their needs.” then his father gave a mini kris to Aditia's hand, an object that is always in his pants pocket, and his, because those who ask for help are sometimes evil souls and intend to take over sensitive human bodies. Hence his father Aditia counsels to look further when helping people.
At first Aditia was afraid, but after helping some lost creatures, Aditia finally realized, her father's trust is the responsibility God has given to those who are blessed.
Therefore, his lectures were abandoned and not yet completed, because of the duties as a head of the household and the trust of his father.
From there the story of Aditia begins, the driver of a lost soul picker.
