Mahmud came with a hoe draped over his shoulder with Mang Karyo from his chili kebon.

"Mud, I went straight back" said Mang Karyo.

"Oh yes Mang, mature suwun yo. Most next week ready to harvest Mang," replied Mahmud.

"Liat weather aja Mud, if the rain continues better accelerated the harvest is afraid of being damaged." Mang Karyo.

"Yes, Mang." Timpal Mahmud's.

Mang Karyo also passed home to his house which was only two houses adrift in front of Mahmud's house.

"It's been a long time Sim? Ask Manhmud.

"From the morning Mas, hehehe." replied Kosim smiling blandly.

"Sim, wash it first." Mahmud said to Kosim.

Mahmud walked to the side of the house to put his hoe under the kitchen window and then took the key placed on the sidelines of the wind and opened the kitchen door.

Kosim still sitting on the terrace with his face still aggravates anxiety. The rest of the cigarettes on his finger were snapped until they were thrown away into the courtyard and then returned to pick up a cigarette and lit it.

"Sim, make some coffee!" Mahmud from the kitchen.

"Yes Mas," Kosim said immediately stepped into the kitchen.

STILL ON THE 8TH DAY AHEAD OF PURNAMA, the weather on Monday the sun is quite hot, like the heat of Kosim's mind. At 11pm, Kosim pulled two black coffee cups out of the kitchen door.

"I don't think Arin is here" Kosim murmured.

Although Kosim has not had time to ask Mahmud but he sees the situation there is no sign of Arin to the house of Mahmud.

Not long after Mahmud nongol then sat leaning against the wall near the window while Kosim sat in his position originally leaning on the pole of the house.

"It's the same way Dede where Sim, from earlier, is invisible" Mahmud said.

Kosim's heart immediately beat fast. This was the question he was worried about that made him confused to explain it.

A few seconds passed but Kosim silent never answered making Mahmud astonished and curious. He looked at Kosim's face deeply.

"You have Sim's problem? Your face is so tangled" said Mahmud.

"A... anu Mas this morning Arin same Dede here not?" Cosim asked back.

Mahmud was more astonished, he just had Arin and Dede but Kosim instead asked Arin and Dede.

"Loh, loh... You here nyari Arin? Arin left from the morning?" Mahmud said he did not understand.

"Iya Mas, this morning after the morning from the vegetable shopping at the Arin stall inquired about the monkey vivacity," said Kosim.

"God, how do you know?!" Mahmud was shocked to hear Kosim's explanation.

"Say people in the stalls talk about it Mas" Kosim said.

"Keet you tell me what Sim is with Arin?" Mahmud was getting anxious.

"Arin was angry Mas, we had a fight in the kitchen when I tried not to confess and explain. Arin then ran I think went into the room but I followed it to Arin's room and Dede was not there" explained Kosim.

"But this morning Arin and Dede weren't here, Sim. Well, where did he go," said Mahmud increasingly anxious.

"After I called Dewi," said Mahmud then got up and rushed into the house to pick up the gap.

A moment later, Mahmud spoke on his phone as he walked back to the terrace.

"Yes, Wi... This is Kosimnya here again nyari. Whoops!" Said Mahmud talking to Dewi on his phone.

"Yes Wi, yes... Yes, yes, Assalamualaikum." Mahmud said he closed the obrolan on the hape.

"Where do you say Madam Dewinya?" Sergey Kosim is hopeful.

"The goddess knows nothing at all Sim" replied Mahmud.

"Wooh! Where do I look for it Mas," said Kosim lethargic half desperate.

"Yet, just found out around the house and no one knows." Kosim.

As Mahmud fell silent, Kosim showed confusion and anxiety.

"Sim, is there no hint of a voice without a likeness?" Mahmud remembered the advantages Kosim had.

"So I had a chance to fall asleep and between waking up and dreaming the voice appeared Mas," answered Kosim.

"Keep, what do you say...?" Timpal Mahmud was impatiently curious.

"It wasn't Mas's hint, but that lookless voice was angry with me" Kosim said in a regretful tone.

"Why get angry?" Mahmud was confused by Kosim's answer.

"I don't know the exact cause but I feel like I've ignored the message. At that time I did not believe it and considered it just a joke before I was found in the cemetery, Mas." Kosim.

"I don't think I deserve to be followed" he continued.

"God willing.." murmured Mahmud.

"I also regret Mas, it has been two days not practicing the remembrance given by Gus Aaron." Say Kosim with a clean slit.

"Is the figure of the voice without likeness Khodam dhikr that is Sim,?" Mahmud.

"I don't know Mas, because the presence of the figure of the voice without likeness after I died and run the dhikr," said Kosim.

"If the figure of the voice without likeness could be asked may be able to know the existence of Arin, Sim." said Mahmud.

"Ah try to ask Abah Dul for help, Sim.." exclaimed Mahmud.

Kosim's face immediately sumringah like getting a hint of hope.

"Oh yes, I don't think about it. Call now Mas," said Kosim.

Mahmud was about to call Abah Dul but stopped seeing the Goddess coming in a hurry. His face was full of anxiety and panic.

"Sim why could Arin leave without such news?!" cecar Dewi is still on his motorcycle.

The face of the Goddess implied mixed anxiety restraining her anger. Kosim looks nervous about getting a sudden question from his sister-in-law.

Kosim seemed confused to answer it, his tongue felt funny. How to explain it to Dewi while the cause of the quarrel is related to the ritual of the sacrifice and Dewi is the same as Arin does not know it yet.

If explained his brother-in-law must be getting angry and disappointed.

"Sim, answer why?!" said the Goddess with a slightly elevated tone but still held back her anger.

"Sstt... Wi, Wi. Patient Wi, slowly embarrassed to be heard by neighbors," said Mahmud pacifying Dewi.

Mahmud's action gave Kosim a little breath of thought, "I and Arin had a fight this morning Mbak then Arin went to take Dede with him. I thought Arin was in the room not knowing she was gone. I think Arin must be here, Ma'am" Kosim said carefully.

Slowly the Goddess began to calm down, her face no longer implying anger but now changing to hold back her cries. As a sister her anxiety was greater than Kosim as her husband. Moreover, Arin is the only brother and also his family because both parents have died 5 years ago.

"Must continue to find where Mas.." said Dewi Lirih holding back crying face to face with both hands.

"Sabar Wi, calm down first, this is us again trying to think about it," said Mahmud.

"Mas I'm afraid Arin why-why.." sergeant Dewi.

"Yes, yes, I understand. I called Abah Dul first, maybe he could help" Mahmud said.

Kosim was deeply lamenting the events that came crashing down on him. Just two days of feeling happiness with his wife and child now in an instant has changed with anxiety, panic, fear and anxiety.

But the matter of the departure of Arin logic more dominates his mind so that he considered a reasonableness. Even his thoughts about the monkey demon were considered to have passed after two days of living in his house there were no more disturbances.
