The Treaty of Invisibility
LEGA

Dinner in the living room at Mahmud's house was stiff, there was no chatter during the meal or afterwards. Mahmud, Dewi and Arin are still upset with Kosim who still decided to accept his friend's invitation to work on the Seismic project in Central Java.

After eating Mahmud immediately left the living room intending to sit casually on the terrace.

"Wi, make coffee, yes, Masnya on the terrace." Mahmud said before he walked away.

"Yes Mas. Sim, you want coffee? All Maak make.." said Dewi.

Although it harbored resentment but the Goddess could still hide it. He continued to behave as usual towards Kosim. Unlike Mahmud and Arin, yes maybe the taste level is different.

"No need to let me make it myself" replied Kosim.

The goddess immediately went to the kitchen. Now only Kosim and Arin are still feeding Dede. Kosim lit a cigarette, a moment later sucked deeply and then exhaled slowly while occasionally glancing towards Arin and Dede.

Arin's indifferent attitude is felt by Kosim as a matter of course, as he often received before he was determined to perform the ritual of pesugihan. So, Kosim also let the uncomfortable atmosphere.

While Mahmud was a little surprised when he opened the door intending to sit on the front porch. He saw that Abah Dul was sitting leaning on the right side of the house while smoking his cigarette.

"Huh, it's been a while Bah?" Ask Mahmud.

"There are only ten minutes of Mud, hehehe.." Abah Dul laughed.

"Loh there is Abah Dul," said Dewi who appeared to bring coffee for Mahmud.

"Yes, I was also surprised when I opened the door, Abah was sitting. Make one more Wi," said Mahmud.

The goddess came back in after putting coffee in front of Mahmud and then came back in.

"Last noon how did Mud's chili harvest?" Abah Dul asked open the chat.

"Thank God the harvest this time is abundant, unlike the previous harvest. Destroyed, hehehe.." said Mahmud sumringah.

"Is the price good or is it coming down now?"

"Lumayan again high Bah, even directly pointed at the same place of the city of chili. Yes not everything I sell anyway, deliberately I sain one sack to be divided into neighbors. If Abah wants me to bring it, then" said Mahmud.

"Well, hehehe." - Tipal Abah Dul.

"God, what are you doing? permanent singles want to cook hahahaha.." lelakar Mahmud.

"Abroadly you Mud. Watch out again also be your sister-in-law," said Abah Dul.

"Emang Zakiyah would?" Mahmud was surprised to hear Abah Dul's confession.

"Just wait for the surprise, Mas Mahmud the most sabaaaarrr, hehehe.." as always Abah Dul.

Mahmud only laughed a little, he still wondered if Abah Dul was joking or serious. But from his words it seemed serious.

"Gus Aaron will soon be able to mud. At least half an hour," said Abah Dul at the end of his laughter.

"So here?"

Mahmud was a little hesitant because he had emotions last night to ask Abah Dul to cancel it.

"Not good Mud, my time forbids. Gus Aaron came here on his own initiative, he was worried about my dream and the Kosim I was telling you about" Abah Dul said.

"Lah wong Kosimnya himself so, do not want to be helped. I don't appreciate us at all" Mahmud murmured in an annoyed tone.

"Now this is Mud, I thought about it last night. Let Kosim go wandering if it cannot be prevented, it does not mean that Arin and Dede are left alone. We are here to look after Arin and Dede" said Abah Dul.

Mahmud was silent, he seemed to have just realized the explanation Abah Dul still there Arin and Dede who were also still under threat.

"Yes, Bah,"

"Be normal with Kosim. I am also really upset but I am just being honest with what we have done with the Kosim attitude like that. I believe Kosim had his own motivation or reason for deciding to accept the job to ignore the warning of his dream" said Abah Dul.

Mahmud's emotional and upset feelings towards Kosim were like being doused in ice water, his heart instantly feeling cold. Abah Dul's explanation is like a whip that reminds you to think clearly.

"Let's ask Gus Harun to equip Kosim so that it can not be seen by supernatural beings. Now where's Kosim, Mud?" Abah Dul.

Mahmud immediately rose from his seat but was stopped because simultaneously the Goddess appeared to bring coffee for Abah Dul.

"Wi, call Kosim here." said Mahmud.

"Yes, it's Mas,"

"Monggo drunk Bah, but no cake has not had time to shop, hehehe.." said Dewi.

"Not anything Wi, mature suwun Wi." Reply Abah Dul.

"It looks like Dewi and Arin, especially Arin Bah still can not accept the decision Kosim. When eating just now in silence all is not as usual, yes including me hehehe.." said Mahmud after the Goddess re-entered.

"Later let me give understanding Mud. It's not good to have one house in the diem-dieman, is it?" Abah Dul.

"Sim here sits," continued Abah Dul as Kosim appeared.

"yes Bah" said Kosim.

Kosim sat next to Mahmud leaning against the wall under the window.

"Sim you've decided so go to Wonosobonya?" Ask Abah Dul.

"Yes Bah, this morning I told my friend" replied Kosim.

"Yes it's okay. But please you there take care of yourself, later I ask Gus Harun to equip you. You want Sim?" Abah Dul said carefully so that Kosim would not be offended.

"Iya Bah, kesuwun sanget Bah. It is my God willing Bah. Mmm, I also want to apologize to Abah and Mas Mahmud, my decision must be disappointing. And once again a big apology, my decision is not the slightest intention to ignore the help of Abah and Mas Mahmud all this time" said Kosim.

Kosim paused for a moment while sighing deeply. He knew that his decision was deeply offensive to Abah Dul and Mahmud.

"I'm Arin and Dede Bah, Mas. Even if I have to be picked up by the stealth monkey I am also sincere, as long as not Arin and Dede," continued Kosim.

Abah Dul and Mahmud were immediately stunned to hear Kosim's words that seemed resigned when the warning of the dream actually occurred.

"I've been thinking and weighing it Bah, Mas. But I am very confident that my departure from work with good intentions wants to support my family. If the Gusti of Allah wills me to accept punishment for my actions in communion with the demon, I am ready and sincere" Kosim said.

Mahmud looked down upon hearing Kosim's resignation. Now he understood the approach of Kosim accepting the work. Even now he feels guilty for judging it all.

"I'm sorry Sim too. I was indeed angry at your decision to judge you do not appreciate the efforts of people who have tried to help you to bet their lives," Mahmud said while patting his sister-in-law's shoulder.

Abah Dul just silently listened to the conversation of Mahmud and Kosim. He actually knew a little about the reason for Kosim so that he could first accept the decision of Kosim rather than Mahmud.

On the previous night Abah Dul was indeed upset and angry at that time so he went home with Mang Ali. But when he arrived at home waiting while Kosim slept, Abah Dul immediately used the practice of releasing his tribe to come to the tribe of Kosim.

In the subconscious, Kosim did not know directly that he had given the reason for his decision to Abah Dul. At that time the tribe of Abah Dul asked it to the tribe of Kosim and the tribe of Kosim said it exactly as Kosim had just said. And Abah Dul also felt the same as Mahmud who now understood it.

Therefore Abah Dul was not too surprised by Kosim's words that gave the reason. But to his surprise, Kosim seemed resigned and seemed ready if he had to die to bear the consequences of his actions.

The atmosphere of that night was back to melt. There is no more strangeness in the hearts of Mahmud, Kosim or Abah Dul. The feeling of Kosim is now very calm and if later he leaves to Wonosobo there is no more maslah that stuck in his heart.

"Tulilit. tulilii..."

"Tulilit. tulilii..."

"Tulilit. tulilii..."

Abah Dul immediately reached into the pocket of his coco shirt to pick up his hape that rang. He saw it for a moment and then he accepted it.

"Assalamuikum Gus, where to? O, yes. yes. yowi just wait there Gus. Yep, yeah... Assalamualaikum." Abah Dul hung up on me.

"Sim picked up Gus Harun yes, in front of Alapa kebablasan said," said Abah Dul.

"Yes Bah" said Kosim.

Kosim immediately rushed into the house to retrieve his motorcycle keys. Not long after, he went back out directly to his motorcycle which was still parked beside the house.
