44. Similar to Rex

When Rex arrived on the ground floor, Gama asked.

" How long is it, there's nothing above...?" tanya Gama was suspicious.

" It's nothing.." Rex said quickly.

" Related...?" asked Gama while looking at the clingy Rex.

" Confidently. What do you want...?" ask Rex.

" Want I, Lo honestly if you squirm or fuss about something. Here I'm not a moment Rex, so if there is something that is dangerous for Me and others please just tell me." Pinta Gama without a shadow of aling-aling.

Rex looked at Gama for a moment then let out a long sigh. Then he grabbed Gama's shoulder and whispered something in his friend's ear.

" I'm writhing that weird chick again Gam..," whispered Rex.

" Seriously Lo, where is...?" ask Gama.

" It's still in the same place, under the mahogany tree on the side of the road there." said Rex quickly.

" How do you want Rex...?" tanya Gama riled.

" Want I samperin, Lo come with me...?" ask Rex.

" Now...?" ask Gama.

" Yes is. If you run away,." said Rex.

After thinking for a moment, Gama nodded. Rex smiled then stepped ahead of Gama.

Seeing Rex and Gama coming out of the shophouse, Mira reprimands them.

" Where are you guys going. Eat first...!" said Mira.

" Yes Ma, go first. There's something I want to take care of first with Rex out there. Just for a moment Ma..," said Gama.

" It's important that you refuse to eat together...?" asked Mira in a disappointed tone.

" It is not too important but rare because it will not happen again later..," said Gama origin while chasing Rex who has arrived outside the shophouse.

Thinking Rex and Gama are chasing a woman, Mira smiles. He imagined that he would soon have a beautiful daughter-in-law and of course a granddaughter who would make his life colorful.

Meanwhile Rex seemed to cross the highway and then approached the mahogany tree. Rex observed the mahogany tree closely.

" Gimana Rex, there are signs of former people standing there. Kan Lo said the girl stood there long enough. Once something was left behind...?" ask Gama.

" There's nothing. But I can't possibly miss Gam. The girl is still in the same position and wears the same costume." Rex said as he looked around.

" That's yes. Kok, I feel that the girl is a delicate creature yes Rex..," said Gama carefully.

" I also think rich is Gam. Moreover, I also had a dream of the girl..," said Rex.

" When...?" ask Gama.

" Abis help people crash on this road the other day, ." Rex said quickly.

" Well, if you have entered into his rich dream will be serious Rex..," said Gama riled.

" What about Gam...?" rex didn't understand.

" It means that the girl really wants to interact with Lo. Maybe someone wants him to take it. We just do not know, the girl is still alive or just a spirit who has not been able to go home because it still has a transport in the world.., "gama said to make Rex surprised.

" If he's a spirit, it means he's a curious spirit dong Gam." said Rex gusar.

" Exactly. Why, you're afraid of Rex...?" ask Gama.

" Not that, I became a mediator between people living with the spirit of Gam. I don't want to...!" rex said while shaking his head.

" Well, Abis wants what else Rex is. You have been horrified if the person who was chosen to be a ghost mediator with humans is not an arbitrary person. It means Lo's great Rex. And you can't deny destiny. So my advice, Lo accept your destiny and live as you can. Gratitude-gratitude can help people use the ability Lo..," said Gama sage.

Rex was silent because he didn't know what to say anymore. For him to see a kind of subtle creature Miss K, pocong or genderuwo is common. Because his duties as a state servant often intersect with places inhabited by subtle creatures. Sometimes the subtle-beings he saw did have their own ties to the place he came.

Having nothing to gain in that place, Rex and Gama return to the shophouse to join their families.

" It's good for our rich beginners." says Gama.

" Yes Bang. Hopefully in the future more people will come here for the car or the bike." said Edi.

" Aamiin..," said Gama, Ipung and Riki together.

" Oh yeah. Because it's just the beginning, we close before the Maghreb.

" Lho, why don't you just have a night Bang. That's nine o'clock or ten o'clock. The road is still rame at that hour," proposed Riki.

" Just Bang..," said Ipung and Edi.

" Aren't you tired...?" ask Gama.

" Cappy but seneng Bang. We haven't had a job in a long time. Usually just hanging out on the side of the road while looking at passing vehicles. Uh, now we can hang out in a nice place. Both mengeliatin passing vehicles, but now We can get money..," said Ipung who is owned by Edi and Riki.

Gama smiled at Ipung's words. He does know the past of the three employees were from Rex. Three men with the ability to tinker with the machine was like three masterless heroes. They are not thugs, but their presence is enough to make the thugs lift their hats. And Rex sees this as a plus.

Rex thinks they can be a multi-functional employee for Gama because in addition to mechanics they can double as security in the Gama's workshop.

" Ok, we'll be open until ten in the evening. Take it easy, you will also get overtime and free dinner...!" said Gama.

" Yeey..., thanks Bang...!" sayahut Edi, Ipung and Riki together.

" Together..," said Gama with a smile.

Then Gama stepped towards the upper room. It seems that Gama needs a break because he was a little tired after supervising the work of the three employees earlier.

Gama laid his body on the bed and a moment later his eyes closed.

Gama wakes up to Rex's hand shake. He blinked his eyes and saw Rex standing by the window while turning his back.

" What time is Rex, I just went to bed..," Gama said as he yawned.

" It's not good to sleep ahead of the Maghrib..," Rex said quickly.

Gama reflexes turned towards the wall clock which at that time showed at half six in the afternoon. But a second later Gama was shocked. Apparently Gama only realized that Rex's voice was very different from usual. It sounded soft and distant, similar to a female voice.

Gama turned to the window where Rex was standing and saw no one there. Suddenly, the feathers of Gama bristled.

Because it was uncomfortable Gama rushed up from his sleep. Gama also tidied up the bed while staring around him before deciding to go downstairs.

While shaking the bed, Gama heard a heavy knock from behind the window. Convinced that it was a subtle creature that might inhabit the shophouse, Gama rushed down to the bottom floor.

On the steps of Gama passed by Rex. Worried that Rex in front of him is the genie incarnation, Gama just ignores Rex to the point of causing Rex confusion.

" Gam Assalamualaikum. I don't see anyone here. Get down and come on Lo." said Rex.

" Alaikumsalam. Uh, Rex yes. Sorry Rex..," said Gama with a smile of relief.

" Yes, it's me. Who do you think, ghost...?" ask Rex with a funny mimic.

" Don't start again Rex. I just saw a ghost that looks a lot like Lo..," said Gama riled.

" Similar to me...?" ask Rex in disbelief.

" Yes, it looks like almost a hundred percent. Just a different voice..," said Gama.

" How different...?" ask Rex curiously.

" His voice resembled a rich female voice, refined and distant. Sampe I shivered with horror..," said Gama while shuddering.

Rex was surprised to hear Gama say. He also looked up. Rex's actions make Gama even more uncomfortable.

" We're going down Rex. All the way to the mosque aja yuk, it's almost Maghrib..," invite Gama.

" Ok deh..," said Rex resigned and then followed the steps of Gama.

Rex continued to step up while thinking hard. While stepping away from the shophouse, Rex took the time to turn to the upstairs window. Again Rex was surprised when he saw the figure of the strange woman standing by the window while staring at him.
