The Treaty of Invisibility

The Treaty of Invisibility
All Peace


It's still the 10th day ahead of the full moon,


The sun still feels hot to shine even though it has passed the culmination point. Kosim and his wife arrived at his house on a motorcycle loaned by Mahmud.


A simple house with a minimalist white design combined with brown color looks dirty once in the yard that is not so broad. Many dried leaves of mango trees were scattered everywhere.


"Assynoltom..."


"Kretteeeeeekkkk.'s.."


Arin opened the door of his house that had not been lived in for a long time. Moist Eve from inside the house immediately hit her face when the door was opened. White floor patterned looks dirty covered with thick dust piled with insect dirt scattered everywhere.


"Uhukk.. uhukk"


Arin coughed in air from inside the house. Kosim dropped Dede from his carrier and sat in a dirty terrace with dust along with two large bags of clothes during his stay at Mahmud's house. Dede gave him his favorite toy car so as not to fuss.


"Mas, it's so dirty. See what shit is that?" Arin yelled at a small black shot in the corner of the living room.


Arin continued his steps into the room. Hearing Arin's call, Kosim rushed into the house looking at the corner of the living room as Arin pointed out.


"Cat dung can not be like that, if people's feces also can not be bebe here," Kosim murmured.


Cosim was stunned to see the feces of many animals scattered everywhere. In the living room, in the living room may be in the kitchen as well. But Kosim did not think and prejudiced any negative, his mind said all of it is natural because it is not occupied long enough.


"Assynoltom..."


Kosim was a little surprised to hear the sound of greetings from outside the house,


"Greetings waalaikum..."


Spontaneous Kosim turned towards the door, "Eh, Mak Ijah, this Riiin is no mother," exclaimed Kosim at Arin who was already in the room.


"Just come Sim?" Tanya Mak Ijah who has held Dede.


"Yes Mak, do not enter Mak is still dirty," prevent Kosim.


"Dirty? Every day my mother cleaned up. Just all day this mother has not had time to sweep Sim," said Ijah Mother astonished.


"Yes Mak is very dirty as if he had finished his pilgrimage, hehehe." said Kosim.


Mak Ijah was stunned as if in disbelief inside the house was dirty even to the point of a lot of animal shit all. He was curious to force his way in and looked around the room.


"Soddy, yesterday-yesterday is not dirty like this. Every day if I sweep just dirt dust but why is this a lot of animal feces?" Said Ijah's mother in heart.


Mak ijah himself has been considered as his own parents by Kosim and Arin. She lived alone after Mang Iksan died while her two daughters went with her husband.


During Kosim's escape to Mahmud's house, he was sent to Mak Ijah whose house was next to him. Mak Ijah took care of it, sweeping it, turning the lights on and off every day. Hence Mak Ijah astonished inside the house Kosim a lot of dirt.


"Yyyyyamaaaaakkkh...!"


Kosim and Mak Ijah gasped in shock suddenly hearing Arin yell from inside the room. The two ran towards the room.


"Riiin.." exclaimed Kosim while running to the room followed by Mak Ijah behind him by holding Dede.


Arin looks scared standing on the bed. His face was covered with both hands.


"What's Rin?!" Ask Kosim.


"That's...!" Arin replied while pointing to the corner of the room beside the wardrobe with one hand still covering her face.


"God willing!" Kosim Seru.


"Oh God!" Mak Ijah was no less surprised.


In the corner of the room lay the carcass of an animal. After being noticed it turns out the carcass of a black cat. It seems to have just died or maybe just died last night because it saw the condition is still intact not damaged and does not emit a foul odor.


Seeing Kosim appear at the door of the room, Arin immediately jumped down from the mattress and hugged Kosim with trembling.


"Surprisingly, this is very strange Sim. Every day the clean mother never found dirt let alone carcasses. And also not as dirty as this, even though only today the mother has not had time to clean up. Do not know today the feeling of a very lazy mother wants to clean up," said Mak Ijah astonished.


"Yes, it's okay, Mom. I took a broom just as much as a crook first," said Kosim.


"Already, it's Rin. It's just a dead cat, let's clean up first." said Kosim calm Arin.


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


Finish praying Magrib, Kosim, Arin and Dede chatting sitting casually in the middle room while watching television and occasionally joking with each other. The new cosim felt the complete happiness of gathering, joking with his wife and child.


Previously Kosim had never felt this happy, where every home after selling cilok around Arin immediately asked for money from selling it. If it is felt that the income is less, Kosim always gets scolding that is not clear the base of the end.


Though all day Kosim went around from village to village trying to make the trade run out. But what he fought for was not comparable to the treatment of his wife when he returned home. Boro-boro was offered a meal, not getting a scolding was enough for him.


Now Kosim really felt complete happiness. Arin is back to his true nature, the loving Arin, the caring and spoiled Arin.


Kosim himself does not know at all if the change in the nature of Arin occurs when he experienced torpor for two days. (*read the episode of suspended animation)


"Mas laper.." said Arin amid his laughter.


"Well, his mother is hungry, De said," Kosim asked Dede to speak.


"Rest first play well, his father wants to buy food first" he continued.


"Eat outside or wrap Rin?" Ask Kosim.


"Mmm.. eat out aja yuk Mas, we have not eaten outside for a long time," said Arin.


"OK, yuk." said Kosim.


Riding on Beat Kosim's motorcycle, Arin and Dede go out to eat. The distance to the city center is not too far only takes 15 minutes. In this city center, a variety of street vendors served five-foot food, pecel lele, fried rice, jamblang rice, nasi uduk to seafood dishes were there.


Kosim motorcycle drove slowly when entering the city streets are quite crowded. Kosim and Arin were busy glancing to the right and left choosing a street food stall.


"Rin, seafood aja yuk," exclaimed Kosim while looking sideways to be heard by Arin.


"What?!" Arin did not clearly hear Kosim's words mingling with the noise of the air and then the sound of other vehicles.


"Eat seafood!" Kosim is louder.


"Yes!" Answer Arin.


Kosim rotates direction between the vehicle back and forth carefully. Seafood leg five has already passed a bit far.


Kosim's motorcycle stopped in front of a five-foot seafood stall. No parking attendant approached him but Kosim kept parking him. Biasalah, the parking lot is so rich Jaelangkung, came uninvited when he wanted to go come for money, hehehe...


After parking his motorcycle in front of a banner that read SEAFOOD Kosim and his wife's child entered and chose a seat at the back table.


Moments later Kosim and Arin look around for a moment at the menu on the table.


"I want oyster sauce shellfish, Mas" said Arin.


"Would she want to?" Ask Kosim.


"Mmm, can be," replied Arin.


"I'm an oyster sauce crab. Make the Dedenya?" said Kosim.


"Dede let the same shells but do not use sauce using soy sauce," said Arin.


The waiter records the food ordered and leaves the table Kosim and Arin. After the waiter accidentally eyes Kosim staring glued to the cart at once used as his kitchen.


"Tail sieve.." murmured Kosim in heart.


His gaze was sharpened again paying close attention, "Yes monkey tail!" in Kosim's heart screamed.


Kosim gasped unable to hide his shock. His face turned pale instantly, a sudden feeling filled with fear that suddenly overwhelmed his heart.


Arin is not aware of Kosim's change in attitude, he is joking with Dede. Kosim tried hard to dampen the fear in his heart. His attitude as if made accordingly did not want to make Arin wonder.
