The Treaty of Invisibility
Real Hallucinations

The cold air of the "Ng" Mountains pierced to the bone marrow Kosim only wrapped in a blue levis jacket salted eggs that have faded moustache. Kosim walked gontai with a backpack on his back leaving Mbah Utung hutkan down the dirt road left right filled with thickets.

The sounds of typical mountain animals become travel companions that accompany step by step gontai his feet. Above the trees are a number of monkeys like watching along the journey of Kosim. Some were hanging on branches, some were sitting under trees with sharp eyes watching Kosim.

Kosim did not pay much attention to the behavior of the monkeys. He continued to take a step swinging his legs towards the big road. There is not a single transport vehicle or taxi driver that passes because it is not a public road and there is no traffic activity.

As far as 2 kilos meter then Kosim reached the paved public streets. While unwinding, he sat on a large rock on the side of the road waiting for a ride passing by.

His right leg is superimposed on the knee of his left leg, he incandescent feet that hurt. Between tired and hungry compete with each other in his body. Kosim just remembered, there was still leftover bread in his backpack that he brought when he left. In a hurry he opened his backpack.

"Thank God, there's still food." Say it in the heart.

Just as the bread was removed from its plastic wrap, a hairy hand quickly snatched the bread from Kosim's hand. Cosim reflex allowed his gaze to follow the run of the greatness of the creature that had taken his bread.

"Monkey...?!" Kosim gasped in surprise.

His eyes saw a large gray monkey quickly jump between the thickets and trees across the road and disappear.

"Damn it..!" Kosim Umpat.

Kosim exhaled his annoyed breath in his seat considering the only bread as a buffer hunger just vanished just taken away monkey. Lucky 20 minutes later, incisions were heard in the distance from the sound of vehicles that seemed to be passing.

And sure enough a truck appeared from his left, Kosim immediately stood waving his hand for a ride. Luckily, the driver stopped the truck.

"Where are you going kang?" Shouted the driver from behind his wheel.

Kosim directly bows his head from the left side window, "Ke terminal Mas," Kosim said expectantly.

"Oh, let's go up the kang. I happened to be passing through the terminal." Said driver.

Kosim rushes to ride in the truck but is prevented by the driver, "Front of aja kang, empty!" Sergey driver.

"Quite my misfortune only on the bread that the monkey took." Kosim murmured in his heart after sitting next to the driver.

Kosim sat speechless and his mind floated far away to his house, his son's cute face clearly drawn. Empty smile of his own considering the behavior of his son.

But a moment later his smile suddenly disappeared his face turned grim shadow appeared the face of Arin, his wife.

"Where to make a lot of money! Lots of need to pay debts, buy pressers, buy milk, blah.. blah..". blah.." Arin's words stuck in his mind.

"Where did kang come from?" Ask driver.

Kosim remained silent, his eyes blankly staring straight ahead. He did not hear the driver's question.

"Kang...?"

"Eh, yes, yes, mas.." Kosim was shocked.

"Where have you come?" The driver repeated the question.

"From Kang's place of sodara," Kosim replied trying to cover up his visit to the lodge.

"To my knowledge where Mas stoppedop my truck was no residential, there is also a Mbah Utung hut. Which village is it?" Said driver.

Kosim a little hesitant to hear the words of the truck driver. "Wow, wrong answer." Bait Kosim in the heart.

"Eh, anu. i.iya mas, yes it is my sodara Mbah Utung," said Kosim.

"Many loh mas, people from outside Java who also come to his place Mbah Utung. Everyone here already knows who Mbah Utung Mas is, so don't be shy to be straightforward ra popo, hehehe.." Said the driver as if he understood what was covered up from Kosim.

Kosim only smiled wryly at the words of the truck driver. There is a feeling of shame in his heart because he was found out his actions asked for pesugihan.

"Sampeyan, see a lot of monkeys there?" Ask the truck driver.

"Yes a lot of Kang. Even while waiting for a ride, my only bread was taken away by a large monkey," answered Kosim.

"Grey big monkey? Take bread?!" Ask the driver to convince.

"Yes Kang. The size is not reasonable three times the size of a larger monkey than the general," said Kosim.

"According to the people here, if you meet a big monkey and take something from that person, marked..." The truck driver hesitated to continue.

"What's Kang?!" Ask Kosim curious.

"That's the terminal in front of the kang, down next to where's the kang?" The truck driver did not answer Kosim's curiosity, either because it happened to have reached the destination or deliberately did not want to be frank.

Sounding from a distance shouted the touts and bus conductors offered the destination bus.

"Mayakarta... Jakarta...!"

"Surabaya.. Surabaya.!" th...!"

Semarangs...Semarang, Berangkaaatttt!" Shouted scalpers and conductors.

Many boisterous sounds of bus conductors offer their bus destinations among prospective passengers. Kosim rushed towards the sound source of the shouting conductor, Jakarta.

"Jakarta kang..?" Ask Kosim make sure.

The bus looks full. Kosim entered from the front door and staggered among the hawkers who were offering his trade.

"Punten. punten..." Said Kosim while sneaking among the hawkers looking for an empty seat.

Kosim rushed after seeing an empty seat in the second row from behind parallel to the door. After putting his backpack on top, Kosim immediately threw his body on the window seat.

His eyes stared out the window. Between the traffic of people with their own goals, he saw a young man playing the port.

In front of the young man there is a monkey dancing here and there, sometimes riding small motorcycles, then change to use an umbrella while carrying a bag of linjing like to go to the market.

"Monkey again, monkey again.." Kosim Gumam.

There was a strange feeling running through his body every time he saw a monkey like there was a feeling of hate and fear. It was as if the shadow of a monkey always appeared wherever Kosim's eyes looked.

After a while, the bus started moving and left the terminal. Kosim positioned his seat to make him comfortable. Coincidentally, the bench next to him was empty, making him more free to squander his legs.

Because of the very taste of exhaustion, it did not take long Kosim was asleep.

"Don't take my son...! No, don't... Fucking monkey!" Shouted Kosim.

Kosim continued to hold his son's left hand while his right was pulled by a large gray monkey.

Kosim stood surrounded by many monkeys like dancing and jumping there and there as if cheering to pick up his friend.

"Pergiiii.. don't bother my son...!" Shouted Kosim.

Simultaneously shouted kosim, the bus he was riding suddenly braked as hard as he could so that all the passengers simultaneously screamed.

"Astagfirullah!!!"

Almost all passengers were pushed forward until his head was sucked in a chair in front of him due to sudden brake.

Kosim was awake from his dream. While rubbing his forehead that hit the seat, he saw the situation in the bus the passengers were unceasingly speaking istigfar.

The bus driver said either to his conductor or to the passengers behind him.

"Surprisingly, there was suddenly a horde of monkeys jumping across the street.." Said the bus driver.

"Where is the monkey, bang! There was nothing, "the conductor.

"So much in front of the road." The bus driver assured.

The debate between the conductor and the driver was endless. Both were confident in his vision. The driver was still convincing in his vision to see a horde of monkeys while the conductor was so because he did not see any monkeys.

"Monkey..???" Kosim Gumam.

"Monkey again, monkey again..." Kosim frowned.

The bus continued its journey to Jakarta.

Beberpa when the length of the bus is seen entering the Semarang toll gate. After attaching the e-tool card and the doorstop opened, the bus continued its march.

I do not know how long the bus drove on the toll road that floated up to Jakarta. Kosim seemed to have returned to prepare to follow his eyes that felt sleepy heavy while leaning his head in the chair.

Suddenly the creaking of the bus brakes shocked the entire bus, followed by the pounding of the bus body pushed wildly forward.

"Brakkk!"

Kosim and the rest of the bus were shaken by a bus being hit from behind by a container.

The bus rolled to the left drove uncontrollably to get out of the path through the grass and reeds and then stopped after one of the front wheels entered the ditch while the bus body was stuck on the barbed wire of the road divider.

"Aaaaaakhhh..toloooong..." The screams of panicked passengers kept each other quiet before the bus came to a halt.

Kosim bounced up to the middle seat of his head hit hard iron chair until bleeding. Passengers overlap one passenger with another.

The atmosphere grew more panicked when there was smoke starting to billow in the back. The passengers rushed to fight each other towards the exit.

With great difficulty Kosim tried to get out through the open window following the other passengers who had already left.

The bus driver and conductor survived with minor injuries. There are only scratches and slight bumps on the forehead.

"Crazy! Again, I saw a monkey. This time a lot like deliberately blocking in the middle of the road. Surprisingly they appeared all of a sudden! This time there's a very large gray monkey." The chauffeur exclaimed to the conductor while enduring the pain on his arm.

Kosim, who was sitting not far from the position of bus driver and conductor, faintly heard the remark.

"Large monkey?" He murmured in his heart.

"Is it possible that the same monkey?" He remembered the monkey that stole his bread.

"Did he follow me..?" Kosim complained in his heart.

Before long the sound of police car sirens and ambulances came together. Luckily, all passengers on the bus survived, only minor injuries caused no casualties.
