The Treaty of Invisibility
Kasak Kusuk's

Day 8 at Purnama,

These two days Kosim and his son and wife occupy his home again. Arin had returned to his usual routine before evacuating to Mahmud's house. Early in the morning at 6:00 am Arin went shopping to the stall to buy vegetables cooking needs on foot.

Warung Bi Sumi seems to have been crowded by mothers who buy vegetables and buy breakfast. Warung Bi Sumi is the only one that sells vegetables and yellow rice which is the closest to Arin's house. Usually if in the shop Bi Sumi has run out of vegetables that he is referring to, Arin will look for it at the Bi Aminah stall which is a little further away.

"Bi Sumi, ask for vegetables for soup yes," said Arin while choosing cucumbers for vegetables.

"Rin, where did it look?" Tanya Bi Sumi sumringah saw Arin.

"Hehehe.. Abis lives in the house of Madam Dewi bi," replied Arin smiling kindly.

"Well, is the Goddess sick?" Ask bi Sumi astonished.

"A, anu, Mas Mahmud's sick mother," replied Arin puzzled.

Bi Sumi did not ask again, deftly choosing vegetables for soup.

While the mothers next to Arin were whispering with some other mothers. Arin Cuek alone did not care much about it even though his name and the name Kosim were mentioned by one of the mothers of gossip spreaders.

"Ssssttt, you know the news is that Arin is the same Kosim long time not living in the house was tirakat," said the mother berdaster.

"Huh? Tirakat's? Thirakat what, nyari togel number, hikhik.." timpal other mothers accompanied by laughing bated while covering his mouth.

The giggling sounds of mothers are very clearly heard Arin but Arin remains silent and does not want to respond.

"Bukaaaan, reportedly tirakat pesugihan," whispered mother berdaster.

"Huh?! The mob?! Chirps the last mothers.

"Damn! Amit-amit!" Other mother's timpal.

"What's Erni's assignment?!" Ask one of the mothers.

"Ssttt said the monkey!" Erni's mother whispered but was quite clearly heard by Arin.

Arin immediately glanced at the mothers with an unhappy face. His blood had boiled in the tubes, his ears were already hot hearing the shoes of those mothers talking about it.

"It's Sumi's bi, so how much is it?" Tanya Arin wanted to quickly leave the stall.

"So it's all twenty-five thousand Rin," replied bi Sumi.

Arin immediately paid him with the right money then rushed to leave the Sumi bi stall. Arin walks home feeling ungodly, there is annoyance, there is anger, annoyance and big question marks in his heart to hear the gossip of mothers in the stall.

Actually his ears were hot even though he vaguely heard the mothers talking about it and even accused him of indulgence. But Arin tried to be patient and hold his anger in the heart.

Along the way back to his house, Arin starts to gamang. There's a curiosity about the truth about the allegations of performing the ritual. Arising a sense of marketing, is it true that Kosim underwent a ritual pesugihan as the mothers talked about earlier? Then Arin connects with strange events that continue to disturb Kosim and Dede even himself.

Arin's mind began to be consumed by the gossip of the mothers earlier. His steps accelerated want to get home immediately want to complain to Kosim while asking about pesugihan.

Meanwhile at home, Kosim looks busy burning garbage in the corner of the yard. He sees Arin coming hastily with a facial expression implying anger.

"Rin, why?" Ask Kosim in wonder.

Arin continued to step inside the house not responding to Kosim's question. Cosim was astonished to see Arin's changed attitude, then followed him in.

He saw Arin sitting in the kitchen while slapping his face on his hands near the sink. His body was shaken, Arin was crying.

"Rin, what's wrong?" Kosim approached stroking Arin's hair.

But unexpectedly by Kosim, Arin's reaction immediately brushed off Kosim's hand rub in his hair. Then Arin raised his face that had been covered with tears.

"Mas, is it true that Mas did the ritual of the sacrifice?!" Asked Arin with a tone of anger.

Kosim gasped in shock, his heart immediately pounding as he grew nervous at Arin's question.

"Honestly, is it true to perform the ritual of the exodus?!" Arin was getting angry.

"Nh.no! Who said it?" Answer Kosim to calm Arin.

"People at Mas stall, hukuhukuhuk.." Tangis Arin also paled.

"No Rin, that slander" Kosim continued to try to convince Arin.

"Honestly, the proof is that the disturbances of the subtle creatures even Dede several times almost died, Mas!" Arin Seru.

Kosim was silent, wrongly answered and wrongly wrongly answered, he thought.

"Jawab Mas!" snapped Arin who could no longer hold back her anger.

Kosim was very nervous about being asked a question that he himself did not want to answer by frankly telling the truth about the surrounding residents' gossip.

"No, no, Rin, that's not true" replied Kosim resignedly.

"If it is not why we have to evacuate long at the house of Mother Goddess. Then why does that subtle creature always come to terrorize even almost to make you die, making our child also almost dead?!" arin shouted, starting to flutter.

"Sss. sa, I don't know Rin," Kosim can't speak anymore to give his lie.

"Even, enough! Enough Mas! Want to get rid of, want anything whatever!!! I don't want a monkey husband!!!" arin exclaimed rushing out of the kitchen with half a run.

"Rin, Rin Arin, listen to Mas's explanation first, Riiiin..!"

Kosim tries to prevent Arin from leaving by reaching for Arin's arm, but his hand is immediately pushed over by Arin. Arin kept running out of the kitchen.

Kosim was fixated just staring at the back of Arin who ran forward and lost blocked the wall.

"Yes Allaaah... Why should it be revealed now? When it's not over yet" Kosim lamented in his heart.

Some time after Kosim's condition was calmer, he immediately met Arin. Kosim was ready to explain everything.

Kosim steps into the room, thinking Arin is crying in the room. Slowly Kosim opened the door of the room so as not to make a sound because there was still Dede who was sleeping.

The door opened making almost no sound. Instantly Kosim was surprised, it turned out that his estimation was wrong. In the room there was no Arin and Dede. Rushing out of the house, Kosim dipped on the porch but Arin and Dede were not also met.

Half-run Kosim came to the house of Mak Ijah who was next door.

"Tok. tok..."

"Maaaak.. emaaak.." exclaimed Kosim in front of the door of Mak Ijah's house.

Some later Mak Ijah came out with astonished face to see Kosim. It was not usual for Kosim to knock on the door and call out like that.

"What's Sim? Why worry so?" Tanya Mak Ijah was astonished.

"Sir, wasn't Arin here?"

"No Sim, what's wrong?" Mak Ijah's face looked astonished and confused.

"Arin and Dede are not at Mak's house" Kosim said.

"You guys got into a fight?" Ask Mak Ijah.

"I, i..iya Mak.." answered Kosim stammeredly.

"Masya Allaaah, don't you see that you're okay?" mak Ijah.

"Yes already Mak, I want to look maybe to the house of the Mother Goddess." Said Kosim then rushed to leave Mak Ijah who was still confused.
