The Treaty of Invisibility
Day 20

The sun on the weekend is pretty bright. The light burst into Mahmud's house from the wind and from the window. The air blew coldly as if greeting two small family families who had gathered in front of the house.

The chirping of wild birds becomes the rhythm of the accompaniment of sumringah faces. Mahmud, Dewi and Kosim, Arin and Dede have dressed neatly in casual clothes.

On Mahmud and Kosim's backs were carried backpacks. In the hands of Dewi holding a mat that is set up bound rolled up and on the terrace floor beside Arin's feet lay a red bag of Dede equipment, while on his chest tucked a sling fabric for Dede. Dede was seen sitting on the floor playing with his cars.

"Hello, assalamualaikum Bah. It's ready" Mahmud said via his mobile phone.

"Oh.okay, okay. From Abah the money was yes, hehehe." Mahmud continued and hung up the phone.

"Abah Dul has gone yet Mas," asked Dewi.

"Udah again fill gasoline first in POM he said," replied Mahmud.

This weekend Mahmud intends to invite Kosim, Arin and Dede to visit his hometown in Tegal-Jawa Tengah to visit his sick mother.

The day before Zakiyah, her youngest sister reported that her mother was sick. Previously wanted to go straight away for the night but after considering, Mahmud also decided to leave Saturday morning alone while traveling. Incidentally from the house of his parents Mahmud adjacent to a tourist spot that is quite famous that 'Hot Water Baths Gunung Guci.'

Another consideration has been this week the situation and conditions in Mahmud's house are never again there are terrors from the monkey demon. So that makes Mahmud and Kosim seem to be forgotten with threats, tension, anxiety and worry.

Similarly, Abah Dul who enthusiastically participated in visiting the home of Mahmud's parents in Tegal. But unfortunately Mang Ali can not come because it coincides with the time to spread the fertilizer of his rice fields. If left worried that the rice that has been seeded will first be attacked by pests and damaged.

"Tiinn.. Tiiin..!" A red Avanza stopped on the edge of the village road as seen from Mahmud's house.

"That's the car coming. Come on, leave, in check again maybe there is something left" Mahmud reminded.

"Eh, hold on. The house keys have been given to Mak Sumi yet?" ask Goddess.

"My father gave Wi, all the house" replied Mahmud.

"Oh yowis, yuk" said the Goddess.

Arin rushed to hold Dede while carrying a small bag for Dede's needs to walk beside Kosim. Dewi rushed to take a mat step along with her husband towards the car.

"Punten Pak Komar." Mahmud said as he passed in front of his neighbor's house.

"Where are you going Kang Mahmud?" ask Mr. Komar.

"You go home first sir, the old man there is sick again. Monggo Pak Komar." said Mahmud.

"Damn, njih. Monggo, be careful in the streets of Kang Mahmud, Ma'am Dewi all" said Mr. Komar.

"Jih, matur nuwun.." sahut all at once while continuing his steps towards the car.

"Any refshing Bah?" mahmud said as soon as he opened the front door of the car.

"Every thousand percent is, hehehe.." sloroh Abah Dul.

Kosim sat in the back seat alone while Dewi, Arin and Dede sat in the middle seat. Shortly thereafter the red Avanza car started its way leaving the village of Suka Ratu.

"Where to Bah, by public road or by toll?" ask Mahmud.

"Hallah, your style is Mud kayak has an e-tol bae card" said Abah Dul.

"Must use that card? Money can't it?" Mahmud.

"I don't know to forget Bah, hahahaha.." - Seloroh Mahmud.

Kosim, who was sitting in the back of the conversation, immediately exclaimed, "Don't go by the highway, Bah!"

"Yes, who's going to take the toll, Sim. Lah wong We don't have any e-toll cards, hahaha..." Abah Dul and Mahmud.

The car drove in the pantura lane towards the direction of the cirebon through the brebes. From the Brebes intersection the red Avanza car turns right taking the middle lane towards Tegal.

Not only this time Abah Dul drove Mahmud home to his hometown. Every time Lebaran Mahmud often asked Abah Dul to deliver it. As a result, Mahmud was able to close his eyes during the trip, he no longer needed to give directions to his parents' house.

......................

At 11.30 wib, after a 3-hour trip and a half finally the red Avanza car stopped in a large yard with a stretch of green grass. The cool air of the mountains has been felt since the trip entered the foot of Mount Jars.

Abah Dul turned off his car engine and opened the window. The fresh mountain air immediately hit his huge body. He looked at his passenger who appeared still asleep but deliberately did not wake him. Abah Dul left him alone and was left sitting on a large rock in front of the car.

He took out a packet of clove cigarettes from his pocket and then took a stick and then ignited it. A moment later he sucked deeply into the smoke of his cigarette and then exhaled slowly as if very enjoying his surroundings.

"House has not changed. It still retains its ancient architectural form. Only in the canopy there is an additional light steel roof," murmured Abah Dul while looking at the house of Mahmud's parents.

His memory opens up memories of his moments still mumps in Madura. Since childhood he and Mahmud both live in pesantren but in different pesantren. Abah Dul went to Madura while Mahmud went to Lirboyo-Boyolali.

His encounter with Mahmud was accidental. When he came home by bus from Surabaya take a bus headed for Jakarta. When the bus passed in the Boyolali area, there was a teenager his age boarded and sat next to him. The teenager is Mahmud who until now became a lawyer.

It was no longer like a friend but a sister. Several times he spent in the green house every time the pesantren agenda entered the holiday ahead of Lebaran. Mahmud's family also considered Abah Dul as his son.

Mahmud always asked her to go home together and be invited to his house and stay overnight before he returned to his village in Suka Official. At that time Mahmud's parents were still intact, his father was very kind and very wise. His father Mahmud is also not a random person, he is very respected in the environment around here. People are known as smart people.

Likewise with his mother, a woman who is also not a mediocre person. He still has a descendant of blue blood, noble descent from the Kingdom of Kasepuhan Cirebon. His great-grandfather was Mbah Kuwu Sangkan or another name Prince Cakra Buana.

After her beloved husband died 10 years ago, Nyi Mas Ayu Ning Tiyas was the name his mother wore Mahmud preferred to act almost every day fasting.

Long enough Abah Dul pensively looked at Mahmud's house until a cigarette that had been ignited was almost exhausted.

"Tiiiinnn...!!!"

Kontan alone Abah Dul jumped shocked to hear the sound of a car horn in front of him which was only two steps away.

In the car, Mahmud chuckles at the shocked reaction of Abah Dul who is followed by laughing Dewi, Arin and Mahmud.

"Haha... Thank goodness! Maen lives, hahahaha." exclaimed Mahmud as he opened his car door.

Abah Dul also laughed, because he felt that first started their fad. Mahmud immediately invited Abah Dul into the house, while Dewi, Arin and Dede came out and followed Kosim.

"Mud his house is deserted, Zakiyah where are you? From now on I sit here there are no nongol-nongolnya" said Abah Dul.

"That means you've been sitting here for a long time, Bah?!" ask Mahmud.

"Now, a bar, hahahaha.." as always Abah Dul.

"Basarrrr...!" Mahmud threw his sandals at Abah Dul but Abah Dul ran to the door.
