Pickup Transportation
Section 502: Mulyana 7
“Can we go there, dad?” Mulyana asked Drabya. Because they were stalking, stalking mothers who were buying vegetables at a traveling greengrocer, a place where information was always well distributed.
“We will go there, not as a subject, but as an object, today just to know, what role can we play to get that information.”
Mulyana and Drabya apparently scouted the house around and saw from afar the mothers who were buying vegetables, did not participate in the trip, because it would definitely be suspected.
“Well, we're not looking for information?” Mulyana asked again, they were going home in the Carry.
“We will get the information tomorrow, take it easy, you do not always have to act quickly, sometimes, the right time is needed, to make sure your plan can run well and succeed.”
Mulyana did not fully understand what her father was talking about, so she finally just kept quiet.
…
The next day, Mulyana was seen sitting on a bicycle seat, she was seated in a piggy bank by a man, the bike was pushing a cart filled with vegetables.
“Sayur!” Tereak Mulyana, the one riding his bike, a middle-aged man just looked ahead with a blank look.
“Wah Mang, this is his son? Tumben trade vegetables bring kids.” A mother had approached the vegetable maker, she did not answer just keep glued to the front, the mother of prospective buyers did not pay so much attention, she was busy choosing vegetables and raw side dishes.
Not long after, the other mothers came, Mulyana was still sitting in the piggy bank.
“De, tumben follow, where is his mother?” Asked a mother, who did not really know the vegetable maker, they only thought Mulyana was the son of a vegetable maker because of the piggybacking.
“Against going to grandma's house.” Mulyana answered innocently, because it is true that her mother was at the grandmother's house, but not the wife of the vegetable maker of course.
“Oh, pantes trade with his father, not school?” Ask the other mother, still with their respective busyness, to choose what is needed in the cart.
“School, now it's a holiday first, because temenin mr.” Mulyana made up again, even though she was not equipped at all with good public speaking skills, only answered immediately and she focused on the mission.
“Do not often skip, later do not pinter loh, he said if you want to pinter, must be diligent school.”
“Iya Bu, but like to follow the father of commerce, but it was through the road serem yes, he said it was the way of transport.” Mulyana entered on the approach of the worries of mothers, surely they will be immediately provoked to talk about that path.
“Tau from where the road is haunted?” A mother asked while holding a package of colorful crackers that were still raw, it seemed like she was confused, wanted to buy a pack or two, maybe the housenay people really like to eat crackers.
“So pass by, ask ati-ati, if there is a delman he said do not be tight, afraid of being dragged.”
“Oh so, yes really, ati-ati only if through that road, yesterday he said there was a delman whose horse was raging again, the place was haunted, understand me, deh, the road was once a place where jin threw away children, so yes so.” Started to trap.
“Jin throw away children? Is there really anything like that?” A young mother asked, maybe she's a new resident, because she looks like she doesn't know anything.
Did you know, that the term jinn throw away this child was even responded to by an expert in Forensic Linguistics at the University of Indonesia, Mr. Frans Assisi Datang. He said that the term is generally used for dislike or rejection of a place. He also added that, Jin is a demon, you throw away the child, meaning he is even more evil. So, the devil alone does not like his son until he discards his son. Satan, we do not like it, let alone the devil who threw away his child. That place means a cursed place, a place that you don't like.
Can the road be referred to as a cursed place?
“Eh yes know, emang that place is not a good place to pass, he said it used to be a swamp, there are white crocodiles there, and then it became a road, because of our housing, this, so white crocodile so-so it's angry, so he bothers passing.” Mother who seemed to have lived here for a long time said enthusiastically, maybe she used to be the first stone laying in this housing, because of her style of speech as if the ancestors of this land she was familiar with. Are there mothers in your neighborhood like this?
“White crocodile, ih very afraid, pantes if through that animal on so wild, if I say mah, surely he tuh ngeliat white crocodile, so on possessed.” If this, is typical of mothers who are easily instigated, the example of mothers who if they get information will immediately make the information is the benchmark of their lives.
“Emang animals can be possessed?” The young mother who might be a newcomer was confused, at least her young age did not make her stupid, asking over things that looked awkward.
“Yes can, they also have the spirit to live, so can be possessed.” The mother who had been leading the gossip said.
“Caused anyway.” The young mother could not be expected to turn out, she even got the talk of people as well.
“White crocodile is what aunt?” Mulyana asked, she had never heard of it, Drabya tend to rarely give theories, so that later Mulyana will compile a book that makes the herd able to study various supernatural beings with many forms, so that later Mulyana will compile a book that makes the herd able to study various supernatural beings with many forms, because Mulyana herself compiled the book from her life experience.
“That little children do not need to follow chat, later you become afraid, after school only real yes.” Refusing to tell Mulyana about the myth, Mulyana is upset and watches the mother with sharp eyes.
Mulyana walked and ran.
From a distance he hid, seeing the greengrocer patted on his shoulder violently and realized.
Afterwards Mulyana ran again so as not to be caught or caught, not far away, her father's Carry car was seen.
Mulyana entered the car with a breath of gasp for running fast, afraid of being caught by the hordes of mothers.
“Where?”
“I almost got caught.”
“Kok can?”
“The price of groceries, I know, dad did not tell me to memorize the price of vegetables, you just told me to shake hands with the vegetable you were soaking up, then ask what myths are developing about that road, as soon as they asked the price, I immediately panicked, so I ran away, for fear that the vegetable maker would wake up because he was patted or shaken by them.
Father said, the gendam you did, could be detached from the greengrocer, if the handyman was patted or shaken, I was afraid that the mothers made him aware in such ways, that's why I ran.”
“Why don't you just rock? You're smart about counting?” Drabya confused why his son even panicked, why not just call it.
“Because I was confused, his vegetable brother tied kale is not uniform, there are many there are few, if the little I love the cheap price, then how much does it compare with thick kale? Do I have to calculate the number of bars first to get the right price? The percentage of the price must be balanced, otherwise the mothers must be suspicious, why I gave the price does not match.”
“Jeez Yana, you just call it, why is such a trivial thing you think too much about in detail.” Drabya is amazed and annoyed at his intelligent son.
“Yes, I don't understand dad.”
“You don't not understand, but you're too smart, no, don't discuss kale, can we discuss the core of the problem?” Drabya reminded, what the main purpose of Mulyana disguised as a vegetable boy.
“Oh yes, he said on the road, the haunted road, there is a myth about white crocodiles, white crocodiles are angry because the road was covered by land when housing was built, white crocodile is it Well? what is Albino?”
“White crocodile? If you want to hear the story of the white crocodile, then I'll tell it.
The white crocodile is a prince who cursed his father accidentally, the name of the prince is Eagle Figures Wijaya, the habit is, eat while sleeping and accustomed to laying down the body right after eating, the habit of eating, until his father who is a king, or trusted messenger of God, said that his son like a crocodile.
You know, if the King's speech is an edict for the universe, so turn him into a white crocodile Mulyana was visibly riled up and straight away from her father, their Carry car was leisurely walking.
“I'm afraid dad misspoke and I turned into a crocodile.” The thoughts of Mulyana's children are not to blame, she is indeed very small.
“Tidka, I will never talk carelessly to you, because for Kharisma Jagat, oral is the main thing to keep.”
“Yes, but I have to be careful yes, I don't want to be a white crocodile.”
“Yes my dear son, but is it true, this is about the white crocodile?”
How do you think?
