The Treaty of Invisibility
Revealed

The call Abah Dul contacted by Mahmud did not connect there was only an answer from the operator who responded if the number contacted was not active or out of range.

"The call is off" murmured Mahmud.

The goddess was more agitated and anxious, while Kosim was just silently bowed looking at the tip of his toes with a grim face.

Kosim really felt like a defendant in front of the Goddess. Not knowing what else to do he could only give up hope anxiously waiting for the reaction of his sister-in-law who seemed to hold back his anger.

"Sim, Ma'am ask me what you're fighting about, until Arin leaves the house?" Said the Goddess with a trembling voice.

Kosim's heart beat faster. His behavior looks clumsy at the Goddess by throwing questions like that. Silent wrong answer was wrong, Kosim confused half brain dead already dead-end can not think anymore.

"Sim, let's answer. Why?!" The goddess started to look at Kosim just silently.

Mahmud felt sorry to see the situation Kosim faced. He understood the confusion of Kosim to answer the question of the Goddess, the answer would definitely be related to the ritual of the sacrifice. While he and Kosim agreed not to tell the Goddess until now. Dilemma, like eating fruit simalakama serbah wrong, answered wrong is not answered wrong.

"Wi, Wi. let Kosim think and answer first" Mahmud meditated.

"Sim, just answer it as it is" Mahmud said as if giving a way out to Kosim.

"A.anu Mbak, Arin initially heard people talking about it while shopping at the stall. Go back and ask me but Arin did not believe my answer and left" Kosim said timidly.

"How are people talking? What did Arin ask?!" Sergey Dewi.

Kosim's chest thumped even more making him gerogi and seemed hesitant to explain it.

"Sim frankly, by the way," Mahmud said, strengthening Kosim.

"Yes Mas. Arin heard the innuendo of people in the stall who said that I did the ritual of the pengugihan.." Kosim's last sentence was spoken full of fear until his voice swallowed. But it still sounds pretty clear.

"What?! The assignment?! The cry of the Goddess was incomparably shocked.

"Yes Ma'am" replied Kosim resigned.

"You did it right Sim?!" The Goddess was no longer able to stem her anger.

Her face reddened Dewi stared intently at Kosim with lips quivering with anger.

"You have a heart, Sim, who did you sacrifice? Dede, Arin or you alone?!" The voice of the Goddess is rising.

Mahmud only silently watched the Goddess and Kosim. He deliberately did not prevent Kosim from frankly revealing the truth. In this case Mahmud felt it was not his authority to explain everything but he was wary of the possibility of the Goddess being confused.

"Yes, I did the ritual of the pesugihan Mbak," said Kosim slowly.

"Civilized you, Sim!" Shouted the Goddess and cried.

"But I failed to do it, Ma'am. And not so undergo the task Mbak," Kosim resigned to try to defend himself.

Mahmud immediately grabbed the body of the Goddess, his wife held in his arms. Mahmud understood and felt the anger of the Goddess, as a brother would be very angry to feel his sister was treated beyond reason, especially when it came to his life.

"I'm sorry Ma'am, I was really desperate. Every day I was being rumored, in caci, in maki because income from trade was always felt to be lacking. For so long I just keep quiet, I keep trying to fulfill all Arin's wishes but still my efforts have no price in Arin's eyes." said Kosim resigned.

The Goddess' cry began to subside after hearing Kosim's utterance. The goddess began to calm down a bit until Mahmud let go of his embrace.

"Ya Allaaah." said Dewi Lirih and slowly began to accept the reason Kosim.

"I also don't really know who was grounded at the time of the ritual. Kuncen only told me the conditions, one of which I agreed to give the chicken (chickens). And I just understood that what the chicken meant was my son" Kosim's voice shook with his cry.

"Masha Allaaah... Dede.." said Dewi lirih back crying.

But this time the Goddess's cry was not out of anger with Kosim but rather crying over the thought of her nephew whom she cared about being grounded.

"But the ritual failed Maak not to complete because only a quarter performed the ritual suddenly in the room where my ritual suddenly destroyed. I was thrown against the wall until it bled out of my mouth." said Kosim softly his voice trembling withstanding his regretful cries.

The goddess seemed to gasp at the thought of the incident on that night Dede was dying and said Abah Dul, Dede disturbed supernatural beings.

"Oooohhh, yes yes I just remember that night on Friday night kliwon at home, Dede almost died. Fortunately, Abah Dul was not too late to help him. And at that time you were not at home he said he was going to Subang in your parents' house," said Dewi had begun to calm down and understand the position of Kosim.

"I'm sorry Ma'am." said Kosim immediately kowtowed to grab the hand of the Goddess who sat beside Mahmud.

With tears of anger Dewi changed with pity immediately patted the back of Kosim.

"Already, it's Sim. Mbak understands and understands it, now just look for where Arin is.." said Dewi.

Kosim slowly rose from his bow. Now that his heart was feeling even lighter, he no longer felt the heavy burden of pressure as before.

Mahmud only sighed, he was glad the situation was better and could understand each other. Dewi did not fully blame Kosim and Kosim also resignedly admitted his actions.

The Goddess, Mahmud and Kosim were simultaneously startled by the sound of Mahmud's hape ringing. Mahmud immediately saw his hape screen, "Abah Dul," he said.

"Hello, assalamualaikum, Bah... Yes, it was a phone call... Arin left the house.Just the same Dede. Kosim is here again nyari.... Oooo yes, okay... Waalaikum..." Mahmud stopped his phone.

"Where can Abah Dul come here?" Tanya Kosim was very hopeful.

"Against the way home, abis from his friend's house in the next village" replied Mahmud.

"Yes, I'm back at work. Let me know if Arin's existence has met Mas," interrupted Dewi.

The goddess moved from her seat to kiss Mahmud's hand and then to Kosim and Kosim to kiss his sister-in-law's hand.

After the death of the Goddess, almost simultaneously Mahmud and Kosim blew his breath.

"Alhamdulillah Sim, it's been a little relieved. I was worried that the Goddess would be very angry and could not accept your explanation. But it turns out that the Goddess can accept it and even forgive you" Mahmud said.

"Yes, now I can be a little relieved. I am also very afraid Madam Dewi is angry. Now just waiting for Abah Dul, hopefully he can find Arin's whereabouts." Kosim.
