Waking up at 7am. Purbo felt his body refreshed and excited. True said Mak Nah, wedang parem makes the quality of his sleep improve.
"Where is your body?" dini asked when she saw Purbo rubbing his eyes.
"Ah, well more lightly," Purbo replied as he wriggled and yawned wide.
Purbo this time noticed Dini. His wife slept with long unraveled hair, with pale white skin and blackened eye basins. From the looks of it, Dini is not okay.
"Honey, today we go to the doctor yuk," asked Purbo. She was worried about her health.
"I'm not pa pa Mas. The effects of old pregnancy," replied Dini slowly.
"Of yesterday every time I went to the doctor, so kept your excuse. You look weak and pale Yang, "persuade Purbo.
"I turned ugly?" ask Dini with a smile.
"That's not the problem. I'm worried about your health. When it comes to beauty, you're always number one in my eyes" Purbo sighed.
"Ih, dreadlocks," Dini chuckled.
"Look, we go to the doctor today," Purbo continued to try to persuade his wife.
"I'm not pa pa Mas. You are ngeyel. Who is pregnant with me, who knows the condition of my body. I feel fine, Mas" replied Dini began to be annoyed.
"Hmmm, yasuda. But if you do not feel good or not healthy immediately talk to me? In order for us to hurry to the doctor," Purbo finally relented, Dini nodded in agreement.
The next minute Mak Nah came carrying a tray containing a bowl of porridge and one glass of warm starch. Mak Nah immediately approached Dini and prepared to feed his employer.
"The red porridge of Madam" said Mak Nah while helping Dini to sit down.
Purbo observed the porridge that Mak Nah brought. Granules of rice grains that look large, with a pungent aroma of pandanus. Looks delicious and tempting. It's just that the maroon red color of the sauce is too thick that makes Purbo's nape goosebumps.
"What's Mak's tomb?" ask Purbo curious.
"Oh, this is red porridge sir. A mixture of kentan rice, coconut milk, coconut grater, sugar, and palm sugar. And also some pandan leaves. Master want?" ask Mama while smiling.
"The red color is so thick, Mak?" Purbo seems curious.
"Red porridge is like this sir. Genengan may forget it," refuted Mak Nah.
"Do you want me to bribe Yang?" Purbo turned to look Dini.
"Let Mak Nah Mas," replied Dini kalem.
"Well okay. I'll get some fresh air then" Purbo got out of his bed.
"Don't wander on, sir," said Mak Nah reminded. Purbo is silent. Purbo ogah advised Mak Nah.
As the day before, a thick fog greeted Purbo on the porch of the house. The atmosphere was quite dark, because the sun seemed to lose its power, unable to penetrate the dark black fog. Every now and then Purbo yawns. There is still residual sleepiness even though he slept for more than 10 hours last night.
Purbo observed the grounds of his house which was covered in fog. Although faint, he could see several flower stalks at the shoots of the bushy mango leaves. The mango season is coming soon.
When Purbo was busy looking at the mango tree, the tail of his eyes caught a shadow of a person on the street in front of the house. Purbo squinted, trying to observe more clearly. And sure enough, among the dense fog is seen the shadow of the middle man walking back and forth.
"Who?" murmured Purbo alone.
A little hasty, Purbo took his flip-flops. He immediately ran through the fog that seemed to be getting thicker. Passing through the yard, the cold seemed to make the frozen skin of his ari.
On the streets, there was nobody. The figure that had seen pacing back and forth was now gone. Could Purbo have seen it wrong? For a while Purbo remained silent in the middle of the road. Until he finally realized the footprints on the muddy ground.
Curious, Purbo followed the footprints. During this time Purbo never saw the villagers who passed his house. As far as Purbo, the people of Ebuh village only dwell in the market and settlement area.
Around the corner, Purbo found a man sitting under an acacia tree. The man wore a thick jacket, an ash-coloured skull, and carried a large backpack on his back.
"Hey, helloo," said Purbo.
Seeing the arrival of Purbo the man looked shocked. He didn't immediately answer. Even pay attention to Purbo from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair.
"Sorry, who are you?" the man asked after seeing Purbo up close.
"Ah, I am Purbo Mas," Purbo reached out.
"I am Hasan" the man named Hasan shook Purbo's hand tightly.
"It seems you are not a citizen here" murmured Purbo while observing Hasan.
"I'm with a friend of a campus club of nature lovers exploring. And it looks like I'm on the wrong path to this place" Hasan explained.
"Oohhh right my guess. You are not a villager here," Purbo mangosteen mangosteen.
"There is indeed a settlement of Mas residents?" Hasan looked curious.
"Aren't you just passing through? You also passed in front of my house" replied Purbo.
"Huh? Did ya? Where's Mas next?" ask Hasan again.
"Not far from here. But it was invisible because of the fog," Purbo shook his hand.
"What is the name of this village?" Hasan kept asking.
"Ebuh Mas Village," Purbo replied quickly.
"Didn't you? I just heard there is a village called Ebuh at the foot of this bead hill," Hasan frowned.
"Let's Mas Hasan come by my house. Waiting for your friend to come. Maybe they were behind, "Purbo offered Hasan a visit to his house.
"Duh Mas, frankly I am a bit horrified by the region here," continued Hasan.
"Gery why Mas?" ask Purbo full of search.
"Yes this area is famous 'wingit' Mas. I want to go home quickly. It could be that a friend of mine is waiting down there" Hasan replied half in a whisper.
"Here you are, nothing is so here. The village of Ebuh is very rame. If you walk straight from here you will find a crowded village market at this hour," Purbo pointed to the foggy street in front of him.
"Markets? What market is Mas?" Hasan looked surprised, with his two bulging eyeballs.
"The Mas village market. Right in the middle of the residential area" replied Purbo.
Hearing Purbo's explanation, Hasan seemed increasingly confused. His forehead looks wrinkled.
"Emm if I walk straight, it means it's out of this forest huh Mas?" ask Hasan later.
"Yes, there will be a village gate, just straight. Well after that, down there you will see a field where my vehicle and the villagers are parked. I think after that the main route to the city of Mas," replied Purbo explained.
