The Treaty of Invisibility
DECREE

The night is approaching 24:00 wib. Mahmud, Abah Dul, Kosim and Mang Ali began to feel the cold night air, as cold as the atmosphere in the living room today.

Yes, unlike usual, the living room of Mahmud's house is always warmed by jokes and casual but serious chatter but this time it feels tense full of frustration, disappointment and feeling stiff.

Regardless of being sincere or not sincere, which human being is not upset and disappointed is very when he feels his efforts feel ignored and as if they are not appreciated.

Moreover, this is a help that is not mediocre but by risking lives even up to four lives is at stake selflessly just to protect someone who is not even his own flesh and blood.

"Sim, think again. Have you made the decision to join your friend?" Abah Dul broke the silence.

His voice was a little heavy and trembling. Anger within his chest tried to restrain him. His eyes flashed with a sharp look at Kosim who continued to bow while he played a cigarette in his hand.

"Not Bah, I say tomorrow the decision," replied Kosim bowed.

"I want to know, what makes you not believe in the warning of the dream Sim?!" Abah Dul's voice was slightly emphasized.

For a while Kosim was silent and did not answer Abah Dul's question. His face was still smearing, his ego appearing in his heart. He felt that this was absolutely his personal right but he kept the alibi in his heart did not dare to be disclosed.

"No idea, I just want to get that much money" said Kosim flat.

If you do not see Mahmud as his best friend, maybe Abah Dul is lazy to help him. It is very human when Abah Dul or Mahmud is angry and disappointed with Kosim.

"Yes already, that's Sim's right. I am not someone you are if it has become your desire like that," said Abah Dul while sipping his coffee.

Mahmud only listened to the conversation while occasionally smoking his cigarette. He looked already very lazy and indifferent. He felt his help had been in vain and was no longer considered by Kosim. Though he was so sincere to help as hard and as possible because he loved his family especially to Dede, his son.

"Yes already Mud, I go home ya.." said Abah Dul full of tones of disappointment mixed with anger in his heart.

"Yes Bah," replied Mahmud flatly.

Abah Dul understood Mahmud's feelings because they must not be much different from what he felt.

"I am too, Mud." Mang Ali.

"Yes, yes Mang Ali" said Mahmud with the same attitude.

Abah Dul and Mang Ali also moved from the guest chair. After experiencing everything he stepped out followed by Mang Ali.

After going through so many life-threatening events and desperately defending him but in the end Kosim's attitude was very disappointing. Which makes Abah Dul, Mahmud even Mang Ali very hit, when only just reached the peak in the betting conditions of his own life and death, Kosim even did not heed his warning and did not want to hear his advice.

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

DAY 4 IS FULL, THOUGH,

After the Fajr prayer, Mahmud said goodbye to Dewi to go to the chili garden he would harvest today. Mahmud looks excited because the harvest of chili this time successfully abundant especially when the selling price of chili is high. Unlike the previous harvest, some of the chili is rotten due to floods and heavy rains that continue to pour into the village.

Cold air in the morning blind sends Mahmud to his chili garden after previously slapping Pak Karyo who will help him harvest.

Two days ago Mahmud had asked Kosim to harvest chili after receiving news of his dismissal and at that time Kosim would enthusiastically help him. But this morning Mahmud did not try to invite him again because other than Kosim had not woke up also because his heart was still disappointed and upset.

Two hours later around 6.30am wib of morning sunlight began to give it its sunny warmth. Meanwhile Kosim had just woken up from his sleep and he had already missed the dawn prayer time for the umpteenth time. After washing his face, Kosim immediately brewed black coffee in the kitchen and then waltzed out and sat on the terrace.

"Sim, Ma'am go to work first. Where's arin?" Tanya Dewi stepped down the terrace.

"Yes Ma'am, Arin agi to the stall. Mahmud hasn't woken up yet?" Empty back to asking.

"Mas Mahmud has left for the garden after the dawn prayer." The Goddess walked away.

Kosim remembered that today Mahmud had harvested chili and Mahmud had brought him two days ago. Kosim's face looked confused, whether to catch up with him or not.

"If I go to the chili garden, what will Udin do?" Kosim said in his heart.

As promised, this morning Kosim will provide answers related to the work offered by his friend named Udin.

Kosim seems to have been lulled by the payment he would receive from the Seismic work in Wonosobo. Dishonnya had soared to the sky seven, just two months of receiving a wage of five million is a very large nominal for Kosim.

"Assynolt,"

"Valaydaikumsalam, Din. How come it's suddenly here?!" Kosim said surprised.

"You were the one who was so dreamy from earlier" Udin said.

"What's up here, Din?" Ask Kosim.

"Good angkot, Sim. How about Sim?" Udin was very hopeful that Kosim would come along.

"Calm down, slow sit down first I make coffee yes," said Kosim.

"Well, I can" said Udin, sitting on the porch lips.

Kosim immediately moved from his seat stepping in to make coffee leaving Udin sitting alone. Udin seemed to see the attitude of Kosim, according to his estimation Kosim will definitely follow.

"Eh, there's a guest..." Arin came to say hello.

"Where is Kosim?" Ask Arin.

"In the future make coffee" Udin said.

"I live first Mas." said Arin Ngeloyor went in through the side of the house directly to the kitchen.

In the kitchen Kosim had just finished brewing a cup of coffee for Udin and was about to leave the kitchen the same time Arin appeared to open the door.

"Who is Mas?" Ask Arin in a slightly taut tone.

"It was Udin Mas's friend who worked with Rin," replied Kosim enthusiastically.

Arin did not realize it anymore his heart was already upset since last night. Kosim hurried to leave Arin in the kitchen.

Arin was still upset with her husband. Last night Kosim insisted that he wanted to go to Wonosobo to accept his friend's offer even though he was banned by his two brothers.

Arin was suddenly anxious to remember the words of his brother-in-law, Mahmud, who said about the warning of dreams related to the full moon.

"What's with the full moon?!" arin said in his heart.

In his incomprehension, in Arin's heart came a sudden feeling of anxiety over him. It seemed like the full moon was a great danger that would befall her husband, Arin thought. But Kosim last night didn't heed the full moon.

When he no longer demands anything from Kosim but Kosim's attitude makes him very disappointed. In the past, maybe he will immediately approve Kosim to go any length of time as long as he returns home with a lot of money.

But now that he had realized his mistake and had begun to accept the situation, Kosim even disappointed him. Negative preconceived feelings were milling in Arin's head, not expecting Kosim to play with fire behind him. Because it was far from possible because Kosim loved him so much but the negative thoughts just came to worry about his safety.

"Ohhhhkk..!"

Arin closed his face, his mind drifting too far thinking about the worst thing that happened to Kosim. Without feeling his tears had wet both cheeks, he imagined that his departure to Central Java was forever.

Meanwhile, on the front porch of the house, Kosim and Udin were seen the faces of the two chatting occasionally interspersed with laughter.

"Wuih, I'm really happy that Sim you want to come," said Udin.

"What time is Din leaving? Will the car come back here?" Ask Kosim.

"About ten o'clock in the morning, you wait in front of me on the side of the road to quickly pull out," said Udin.

"OK," said Kosim.

"Then I'll excuse Sim, see you on Tuesday, okay.?" said Udin saluted Kosim and then stepped away from Kosim.

Kosim's smile accompanied his friend away until he was not seen again. Kosim's face looked so cheerful, "When again get millions of money. Later I will take Arin and Dede shopping at the Mall, eating at a restaurant or anything that deh pokonya," he imagines.

Kosim did not realize that his decision made many people angry and upset. It is only fitting that Abah Dul, Mahmud and Mang Ali consider Kosim does not appreciate his efforts that have been trying to protect from the threat of Monkey Demon with a gamble of life.

Had everyone known what Kosim felt when he got a job offer in exchange for 5 million it would have understood his determination. For Kosim that much money only this time he will get from the results of his sweat that has been plastered in front of the eyes. That's why he doesn't care about the full moon dreams.

He knows what it is like to have no money when there is an urgent need. He also knew what it was like to be caci maki because of his income.

But more reminding him, when he did not pocket money at all suddenly his mother came to borrow money to buy rice.

"Son, may you lend me money to buy rice."

Kosim confused half-dead, want to ask his wife is afraid to spray. Kosim then entered pretending to take the money.

But when passing through the milk cardboard of his son in the corner of the middle room he stopped stunned,

"How many millions of dollars to buy his children milk in the span of three years, while he was from infancy to the age of his children breastfed his mother with his breast milk full of affection" murmured Kosim in his heart.

"You have given all my affection, possessions and all to me selflessly, and all that I have received for free. Forgive me Mak who does not know the return of the favor." he murmured.

Kosim hurriedly half ran out from the back door towards Mak Ijah's house to borrow money.

At that moment Kosim immediately prostrated himself at the feet of his mother. A few moments after his mother had just burned him, Kosim stood looking at his mother's face that was shady despite being eaten by age.

Kosim kissed his mother's forehead and gave her Rp 1 million, crying Kosim said; "Mom, don't say borrow again yes, my money is mother's money too. Pray that I will always be filial to you, Mother,"

His mother was in tears, saying;

"Son, in every circumstance Mother always pray that the children of Mother are given healthy and abundant fortune. Mother also always begged that all of us can always gather in the world and in Heaven later in happiness..."

Without realizing it, Kosim's eyes glazed over remembering the course of his life. Hurriedly in my gouges his eyes with his palms before anyone saw him.
