SAWMILL
64. WORK DONE PAK AGUS
“Oh so there is someone else who has worked there bu?”
I pretended not to know in front of Tugiyem's mother, but this statement from Tugiyem was quite helpful to me as well
“Mommy often talks to Yetno?”
“Unfortunately I have never spoken to him, I was only told by Mbah Karyo who was close to Yetno” at the time
“Is there any info about Yetno again bu?”
“Waduh I forgot son, but if not wrong yetno had told Mbah Karyo that Mr. Wandi was often gone, and it was almost every night go”
“Wah so sir Wandi it turns out, so Yetno is close to the late Mbah Karyo?”
“The late Mbah Karyo said what else bu?”
“Ndaknya kayaknya, because Mbah Karyo is quiet and rarely talk to me”
“Oh so yes ma'am..., if with Mr. Solikin what Yetno ever chat as well.
”I don't know son, because I was there only during the day just”
“Eh by the way his wounds nak Agus how?”
“It has started to dry bu, because it was treated... uh .. treated by doctor Joko”.
Oops I almost said treated by Tina, mak deg rasane hehehe
“I know doctor Joko is son, he is a medical expert caused by things that smell supernatural.”
“Luck nak Agus can meet with doctor Joko and can also meet with Pak Panat”
“Ya already ma'am, I want to leave first, I was here through the main road so as not to meet Burhan first bu”
“Because I want to chat with Mr. Solikin without Burhan, besides I also met with Pakat”
“Oh so , I was also surprised, kok son Agus can bring a motor, what is not far if passing the main road”
“Oh obviously far away turned out bu heheheh”
“Yes already nak Agus, be careful on the road. This is anik he said kangen same nak Agus”
“Eh this mother lhooo slander. who misses not anik, but mother herself kan” shouted Anik
“Hussh you are there-just Anik” said bu Tugiyem while glaring
My journey is still a long time to get to the sawmill house, fortunately the motorbike I use is still able to take me to N village if said Tugiyem ma'am earlier.
Now I've gone into the woods leading to the sawmills.
Today's day was quite hot, as a result of the heat my chest became a bit sore, probably due to exposure to sunlight.
But fortunately after entering the hot forest the sun was blocked by shady leaves, so the atmosphere became cool with a breeze that hit my face.
“Wah it's 11.00 this time, I'm very late to home”
“Means this out Bu Tugiyem came with his son”
A few minutes later, from a distance the creepy saw house was seen.
The sound of a diesel engine moving a saw indicates that the activity there is running, meaning Burhan currently plays a role in supervising work.
The closer the sound of the machine along with the person who hit the nail is the more noisy it is.
After parking the motorcycle on the side of the house, I entered through the front door which happened to be unlocked.
Before I headed towards the back, I first entered my room to check if anything had changed with the state of the room.
Apparently nothing has changed except one.. Here the smell…!
“Why is there such a smell as smoke here, eehhmm, not the smell of ordinary smoke, but the smell of incense smoke!”
The smell of incense smoke stuck in every corner of the room, including in my bag my clothes too.
I looked at the floor of the room carefully, every corner and side of the room I checked if there was anything suspicious.
Apparently found, under my bed there are traces of burning frankincense. precisely under my head!
Means there's a guy who goes into the room and burns frankincense right under the side of me putting my head to sleep.
Hmm strange, if Burhan was here last night, he should have known someone had come in here. I'll just ask him why until someone comes in.
Aside from the incense burn marks, there is nothing strange here.
Who dares to go into a room when I'm not home, and does Burhan know about this?
Let me ask Burhan if he was here last night or not.
After finishing the room, I headed to the back of the house, coincidentally the back door was open.
“Mas Burhan.
“Wah.. Thank God Mr. Agus came too, I was worried because Mr. Agus from last night had not come”
“But take it easy Mr. Agus, all work is in order pak”
“Where sir, have you met anyone who understands the situation here?”
“Before mas, even the ngawur shamans who pretentiously repel all creatures here at the cost of tens of millions”
“I need people who understand, not jtabul shamans who are pretentious an mas”
“Wah ya difficult sir, because this place is secluded”
“Eh mas Burhan last night sleep where?”
“Sore day after knowing Mr. Agus did not come home, I went to Mr. Wito's house, I slept there”
“For him I stopped by Mr. Solikin's house to invite him to work”
I didn't have to ask and say anything about the smell of frankincense under my bed, because she would have said nothing.
Daytime ocean or break for workers…
Mr. Solikin was among the pallets that had been glued, he was looking at me with a strange look.
Usually when the ocean is like this he comes up to me and invites me to talk, but this time he doesn't, he just sits around alone.
Similarly, when Tugiyem came to give lunch to the workers, Solikun just sat in the amben while eating, without talking to me at all.
“Nak Agus.. later in the afternoon I wait at home because there is something I want to talk to nak Agus” whispered bu Tugiyem before he went home
“Good ma'am..”
What else will he tell me, does he just remember something so important that I have to go to his house later in the afternoon?
This afternoon there was no incident whatsoever, the worker worked according to his work, no one was sick or experienced anything.
Even in the afternoon, I had to find an excuse to go to Tugiyem's house without Burhan who would definitely come with me.
She must be she'd be suspicious because there's no way I'd go alone without her unless I had a reason to go into town to get to the hospital.
“Mas Burhan, this morning when I opened the door of the house, there is something strange?”
“Eeemm ndak no sir, the condition of the house as usual really, I came together with the pack workers, so I do not feel afraid”
“Ya already mas, I think the state of the house or room there is a change”
“Oh yes mas, I want to go to the city first, because I want the hospital to change the bandage”
“Reader bandage should be to hospital continue pack?”
“Sakjane ndak also mas, it's just that my wound is different, so the treating doctor should know my condition every change bandage”
“But Pak Agus later tonight home right?”
“Clearly go home mas..”
I had no other reason than to go to the village to the hospital, afraid Burhan would ask me to come to Tugiyem's place if I said I wanted to go to the village next to the river.
But if you go to the village next to the river by a detour clearly far and long, especially at night.
During the day the road there after passing the iron bridge was horrified and deserted, lha if the night apane not added suepi.
I think to go to Tugiyem's house this afternoon I'd better postpone it, better tomorrow morning before going to Tina's house, I go there first.
“I think I'm not going there mas, my wound is quite healed, tomorrow morning I go to his doctor”
“Ya already you sir, if so I cook rice for dinner this sir, later we can make fried eggs and instant noodles course”
“Ya ndak papa.
The more afternoon, mumpung not yet dark the better I take a shower first.
When I'm going to go in the bathroom..
“Pak Agus, the water I have not yet recovered from the well, briefly I planted it first sir, all I meet the bathtub”
“Ya wis mas, rather quickly mas, because now it is getting late afternoon”
Burhan didn't answer me, but he drew water from the back of the house many times.
Long time also to meet the water in the bath is wide enough and but not deep.
I went into the bathroom to see the bathtub in this house still there was a little water Burhan was carrying.
Strange, this bathtub turned out not to be as deep as I thought…
The height of this bathtub may be about one and a half meters when viewed from the outside tub wall…
The width of this tub may be only sixty centimeters, and the length of this bathtub is about two meters more.
But the size of the inside of this tub may be only a meter deep….
And the strange thing is that the base cement of this bathtub is not too mossy, and looks a little new than the cement on the wall.
All this time I never noticed the state of this bathtub, because the water is always full. But today when this tub is empty I can see this tub.
