The Treaty of Invisibility
Mysterious Creature
The 9th day at 09.00 wib, the weather that since the morning was bright blind slowly dimmed and showed cloudy clouds seemed to be raining.
Abah Dul, Gus Harun and Mahmud were still chatting in the living room. On the table served banana and coffee.
"Nih, cloudy weather gini drink coffee accompanied by fried bananas, hehehe..." Chirps Abah Dul.
"When this morning the weather was clear, it was cloudy now" said Gus Harun.
"Now it is not certain when the rainy season when the drought is difficult to guess Gus," said Abah Dul.
"That same Gus Aaron hasn't slept from last night, huh?" Sela Mahmud half asked.
"Yes, now the eyes of the mighty have begun to be heavy" replied Abah Dul.
"Have a rest first Bah, Gus." said Mahmud.
"Ngabisin this cigarette used to be a responsibility, hehehe..." Answer Gus Aaron.
Kosim emerged from the inside looking neat with a small bag slung on his chest.
"Gus, Abah, Kang Mahmud I say goodbye first" Kosim said as he greeted each other.
"Where'd you go Sim?" Mahmud Sahut.
"There's Kang's work, a friend working on a housing project in the city, it's good." Answer Kosim.
"Will you stay there or go home?" Mahmud turned back.
"Rome Kang, o yes the bike I used to use Kang," said Kosim.
"Yes, be careful Sim do not dream much." exclaimed Mahmud accompanied Kosim stepped out.
"Yes Kang.." Kosim Sahut.
Kosim walked over to the motorbike parked next to the house. When he was sitting on a motorcycle, Kosim was silent for a moment. He looked around him and felt like someone was watching.
Kosim did not notice a pair of red eyes were looking at him from above the water guava tree. The pair of red eyes continued to closely observe Kosim's movements.
Kosim then continued to start the motor, the engine immediately turned on and some time played gas to heat the engine and then put the motor forward leaving the Mahmud home page.
As the passing of Kosim riding a motorcycle, the figure of a supernatural creature that had been observing from the top of the water guava tree immediately shot up and disappeared.
Rain spots began to fall soaking the asphalt road that Kosim went through without feeling awkward at all. The speed is only 60 km/h not too fast but also not too slow.
On the highway pantura as usual is crowded crowded with large vehicles such as buses, containers or trucks with a variety of honks that occasionally startle Kosim when passing by.
Along the way Kosim imagined the work he would get. Cement mortar, shovel, up and down the building, everything is already in the shadow of Kosim because work as a porters building is not the first for him.
Kosim slowed his motorcycle down as the road ahead of him turned. But suddenly Kosim gasped in surprise at once to disperse his daydream. His right hand and foot reflexed pulling and stepping on the brakes simultaneously. As a result Kosim and like a motor almost fell due to slip.
Behind him the sound of horn sounding loudly from other vehicles added Kosim surprised. A motorcycle with high speed almost hit him if only Kosim motorcycle did not slide to the left.
His motorbike zig-zagged to the left before stopping because the front wheels entered into a puddle of large car wheels. Kosim's body was pushed forward until his chest hit the handlebar's head in a landslide.
"Oh..!" Shouted Kosim while holding his chest.
'What was that thing? Very big, ' said Kosim in his heart while grimacing withstanding the pain.
Just now his eyes clearly saw a large figure suddenly glaring across the entrance to the bushes on the side of the road. Only 20 inches from the front wheel almost hit the creature.
Kosim then got off his motorcycle curiously rushed to look for where the creature had slipped in the bushes. But his eyes found nothing there, not even a trace of him.
He also returned to his motorcycle which was still plunged into the puddle of his front wheels mired into the puddle of a car tire that was quite deep in swallowing up to one-fourth of his wheels.
No one in that place polled Kosim because of its position away from the settlement. Kosim alone tried to pull his motorbike from the puddle with great difficulty.
A few minutes later Kosim finally managed to remove the front wheel of his motorbike from the puddle with mud straws at the end of his levis pants. Then he went back on his journey.
"Astagfirefull!" Spontaneous Kosim.
Kosim's trauma dominates his mind when he sees a monkey. Almost Kosim jumped from his motorbike to run but stopped after the monkey-faced figure sang while holding out a plastic wrap of nuts towards him.
"In front of my parents, you are trashing myself." The song came out from behind the monkey mask next to Kosim.
"Damn it, just a busker!" Grunts Kosim in heart.
Kosim reached into his pants pocket and took a dime and gave it to the busker. Between annoyed and laughing at yourself remembering the incident Kosim messem-mesem on his motorcycle.
The red light turned green, Kosim continued his journey to the city where the building project as told by his friend.
Approximately 25 minutes Kosim to the project site. In front of it lay a field and many building materials, sand, cement, wood and rocks piled up on the edge of the site.
Some porters of the building downstream and back transporting cement mortar. Cosim stopped right at two people standing observing the building. One was short fat in his 50s and the other was of medium stature at the age of Kosim.
"Assalamualaikum, punten sir. Want to meet the Mandornya sir," Sapa Kosim to the fat person while experiencing it.
"Waalaikumsalam, yes I am the foreman. What's up, Mas?" Answer the fat man.
"Oh, coincidences. I asked my friend Kosim Juned to join the project here sir, he said he still needs workers," replied Kosim polite.
"Yes, yes, yes. Right, we still need workers. It was Juned," said the foreman as he pointed towards the person who was operating the mole engine.
"Ned, Judged! Here for a moment" cried the Foreman.
Before long a young man of Kosim's age came to the scene, "Yes sir, uh there is Kosim. This is the man I spoke about yesterday" Juned immediately introduced Mandor.
"Yes I trust the same people you recommend Ned. Payment matters later can be discussed with Juned yes, mas Kosim," said Mandor.
"Yes, sir, it's easy about that." Sergei Kosim.
"Please, can work right now. His work clothes asked Juned to do so, yes" said the foreman.
"Come Sim, come with me. Excuse me sir," said Juned passed from the front of the foreman.
Kosim and Juned then walked towards a mess building in the corner of the residential location.
"Change Sim's shirt, that's his helmet don't forget to wear. You're polishing the walls, Sim." Juned.
After wearing the project shirt wrapped in his shirt, Kosim intended to take the project helmet hanging on the wall, suddenly flashed in front of him as a large, grey, hairy figure grabbed Kosim's hand.
With Kosim's reflex retracting his hand, Kosim's hand escaped from the strike. The gray-haired figure then hit the wall made of plywood hard next to Kosim.
"Brakkk!"
Juned who was about to exit the mess was surprised and stopped his steps hearing the voice that was followed by a crackling sound from above the building.
"Siiiim, lariiii..!" Shouted Juned who saw the building was about to collapse.
Juned directly ran out, while Kosim was still standing stunned. A second later the roof of the mess building fell down just above Kosim's head.
"Toloooong..." Juned shouted in panic.
All building workers ran to the collapse of the mess building which was only made of wood and roofed with zinc.
"In my friend, please sir. Hurry please.." Juned exclaimed frantically mixed with anxiety, while showing where Kosim was.
The construction project workers arrived and simultaneously hoisted the ruins of the building right in the position of the accumulated Kosim.
At first, Kosim's feet were crushed by the roof wood. Little by little the rubble material was removed from the top of Kosim's body lying motionless.
No one can say if Kosim is alive or just a pinch. The foreman immediately took his car to take Kosim to the hospital.
