It's still the 6th day before Purnama,
The twilight glow of the east side, Kosim still continues to polish the wall with cement adduct on the outside of one of the houses in the city housing project.
"Sim! Down, down, it's half five!" Call on other fellow workers from below.
"Not yet five o'clock Kang took a little more care to stir!" Answer Kosim.
Honesty Kosim already known fellow porters his project. He works according to the time set, never the corruption of time. Perhaps only Kosim is more honest with his work than his friends.
Sometimes humans are strange, when they have not got a job they fervently beg to be accepted to work. But when he was working he wanted to go home quickly and also expected a holiday only. So what do they really want? Yeah anyway?
One block stir the cement last time it's been 5 hours past 10 minutes. Kosim rushed down from the monkey stairs and cleaned up all his scattered carpentry tools. After washing, one by one put back into the bag container that has been scuffed and torn in some parts.
"Krieiiiing...!"
"Krieiiiing...!"
Kriiii...!"
"Krieiiiing...!"
"Assalamualaikum, yes Mak. I'm still at work, Mom..... Yes. yes. mature suwun ya Mak." Kosim hung up the phone from Mak Ijah.
Kosim hastened the process and rushed home to report information from Mak Ijah to Mahmud, Abah Dul and Mang Ali.
The voice of the azan Magrib sounded earthy from the cocong-cocong toa mushola and the mosque when Kosim arrived at Mahmud's house.
"Assalamualaikum" said Kosim.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Mahmud, Dewi and Arin who were still on the front porch.
"Mas, really my guess!" Kosim yang enthusiast.
"What is Sim?" Mahmud replied in confusion.
Dewi and Arin just gawking waiting for the next Kosim speech.
"That's the person who underwent the emergency," Kosim explained.
"Who is it?!" Sergey Arin.
"Yes, who's Sim?!" Timpal Goddess.
Kosim got off his motorcycle, while Dewi, Arin and Mahmud watched with a look of hope waiting for Kosim's answer. Kosim then sat on the terrace.
"But tonight I will tell you yes, all you tell Abah Dul and Mang Ali," said Kosim while grinning.
"Huhuuhhh!" Goddess and Arin chimed in together.
Dewi and Arin were disappointed, the answer he was waiting for was not in line with his expectations. Mahmud only smiled calmly at the expression of his wife and sister-in-law.
"Already, let's pray Magrib first." Sergei Mahmud.
"I take a shower first, then go first. Thank you for waiting for me, hehehe." said Kosim.
Mahmud, Dewi, and Arin, along with Dede, are carried into the house, while Kosim enters through a side door that is directly related to the kitchen and bathroom.
...----------------...
After Isya at 19.30 wib,
In the living room, Mahmud, Dewi, Kosim and Arin with Dede next to him just finished eating dinner on a mat sitting down.
"Assynoltom..."
"Assynoltom..."
It was heard from outside the voice of two people saying their greetings.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Mahmud, Dewi, Kosim and Arin spontaneously brrama
"That's the voice of Abah Dul and Mang Ali" Mahmud said.
"Let me open the door of Mas" Kosim immediately stood up, leaving the living room.
"I clean up first Mas," interrupted Dewi.
"Don't Wi, tawrin Abah Dul and Mang Ali first maybe they haven't eaten," Mahmud said.
Some moments of waiting were heard when Abah Dul and Mang Ali were already sitting in the living room with Kosim. Mahmud rushed after the three.
"Well, we eat first" Mahmud bargained.
"Suwun, suwun Mud, I've eaten. That's probably Mang Ali" said Abah Dul.
"I've also eaten Mud" Mang Ali said.
Mahmud then returned to the middle room to tell Dewi and Arin that Abah Dul and Mang Ali did not eat.
"Bikinin coffee aja Rin, four yes," said Mahmud.
While Dewi is cleaning up the food, Arin brings some dirty dishes to the kitchen and makes drinks.
"Where is Sim, any word from Mak Ijah?" Ask Abah Dul.
"What's Sim saying?" Sela Mang Ali's.
Along with Mang Ali's question, Arin appears carrying four cups of coffee on a tray. Arin had heard Mang Ali's question, and was curious to wait for Kosim to answer.
"Diminum Bah, Mang Ali." said Arin.
After placing four cups of coffee on the table guest Arin was sitting on the armrest chair occupied by Kosim.
"Who Mas? What's up?" Arin confirms the question of Abah Dul and Mang Ali.
"Say Mak Ijah Bu Parni" replied Kosim.
"Oooo..so Parni ma'am, it turns out that she deliberately incited mothers in the stall to accuse Mas Kosim to cover up his actions!" Arin said grimly.
"Yesterday night said Mak Ijah, some residents saw pigs behind the house Haji Goni was rubbing his body against the wall of the house. In the village there is a stir," explained Kosim.
"Do you think it was Parni from Sim?" Ask Abah Dul.
"Citizens began to be suspicious of Ms. Parni because they were often seen buying furniture that looked luxurious. It was just limited to suspicion and difficult to prove that he failed" explained Kosim.
"Where is Mang Ali, execution now?" Said Abah Dul.
"Hayu," replied Mang Ali enthusiastically.
"In the middle room, yes Mud," said Abah Dul.
"Rin, is the living room cleared?" Mahmud asked Arin.
"Already Mas. That I can come see yes, yes, Bah.." said Arin.
Abah Dul was silent for a moment weighing whether the memeungi effect danger or not.
"Yes, I can." said Abah Dul.
"Yesss! I invited Mbak Dewi ya Bah," said Arin happily and then left the living room to inform Dewi.
Everything moved to the living room sitting down. Abah Dul, Mang Ali, Mahmud, Kosim holding Dede, Arin and Dewi sitting half-circular.
"Where's Mang Ali?" Abah Dul asked for an opinion.
"What time is it?" Mang Ali asked.
"Jam eight through Mang," said Mahmud.
"Can't be now Bah, later at 12 o'clock," said Mang Ali.
"Yaaaaaahhh, sleepy hound!" Arin and Dewi were disappointed.
Mahmud, Kosim, Abah Dul and Mang Ali spontaneously laughed at the reaction of Arin and Dewi who were eager to see and know the process of disclosure of the perpetrators of the abduction.
"Maha..."
"Maha..."
"Maha..."
"Maha..."
"Sleep... Ma'am, yuk ah" said Arin moved while grabbing Dede in Kosim's lap and then stepped towards his room.
The goddess, too, with a disappointed face rose from her seat and left the living room. The atmosphere became boisterous laughing at Arin and the Goddess accompanying him stepped into his respective room.
Sometime after Arin and Dewi entered the room, Mang Ali explained the way he had used to uncover the perpetrators of peaugihan.
"Usually the Babi perpetrators to determine the working time is on Friday or Saturday night and Tuesday or Wednesday night. What day is it?" Mang Ali.
"Mang Tuesday" said Kosim.
"In that case, tonight tonight on Wednesday night means the perpetrators will go out to work looking for houses that have money" said Mang Ali.
"How to uncover the culprit how Mang is?" Ask Mahmud.
Mang Ali also explained his ways clearly and detailed. Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul also understand the explanation. It sounds easy and harmless.
"Especially with Abah Dul's ability, it will be easier," said Mang Ali.
"Normally I rely on instinct to ensnare him because I can't see from a distance just to the extent of being able to feel his presence" he continued.
"What about Mang Ali?" Ask Abah Dul.
"Let's wait for the cue from me Bah." Mang Ali.
Time seems to run slowly towards midnight at 24:00 wib. The four of them sipped coffee after hearing Mang Ali's explanation.
