Dreams of Old Bums

Dreams of Old Bums
Episode 5's



     Mr. Dasim and Dipa, eating with greed, understandably both very hungry. They rarely eat in a few days because the atmosphere is very chaotic. Usually when the situation is calm, they always routinely get food rations from the manager of the hole, or from donors or donors, or from traveling traders who deliberately come to each hole.


     When the two were busy eating food, suddenly Titin's tea husband, Mang Kardi and his friend came. Mang Kardi was very surprised at first, because there were other people in his house even though the situation was chaotic. But after knowing that the person is Mang Dasim then look bright mang Kardi face.


     "Duh mang Dasim, it's been a long time ?" Ask mang Kardi


     "Just now....eh sorry jang Kardi is troublesome, emang and this friend are very hungry !" Said Mr. Dasim


     "It's okay mang, but maybe so, understand in recent days we can not spend, because the situation is now chaotic in the way." explained mang Kardi."


     "Ehh..it's messy how's jang Kardi ?" Ask Mr. Dasim pretending not to understand.


     "You mang, people are on the thought that our hole has been melted. This is all, initially from one of the scavengers found the waste products containing gold, and the scavenger was likely, disseminating news that is not necessarily it. As a result, many people are heading here to ask for rations, even though it's nothing.it's slander !" Angry mang Kardi.


     "But jang, it's all a lie I know !" Mang Dasim said.


     "Well, they were told to prove it themselves. Why is this anyway ? it wants to exist, want to do, this is the business of each hole, do not have to interfere with others." explained mang Kardi, with a slightly raised voice.


     "Yes jang Kardi, it's like something's conditioned like this." Terka mr. Dasim.


     "It seems so mang, but the necessity, we all have agreed when one hole is liquid, one hole, then the other holes will not hold an attitude of envy or act assortment against the liquid hole." Mang Kardi.


     "Yes right ! a similar situation occurred in the hole emang, from last night until the morning there was a commotion. Emang and Dipa are suspected of hiding something." Said Mr. Dasim while taking a glass that has been filled with water, then drink it.


     "Then how is mang ?" Ask mang Kardi curiously.


     "Yes, of course, we both argue and try to explain, that all of that is not true. But they did not believe, instead they kept urging us to confess, and one of them threatened us. Good thing it was broken by someone who felt sorry for the hole members just as much." Said mr. Dasim.


     "Lantas next how about mang ?" Ask Titin tea to join the pulpit.


     "Yes, he then invited Dipa to run away, because they were constantly urged, repeatedly persecuting even as hard as they could defend themselves, many times and Dipa swore, that we're not hiding anything. But still they do not believe, then when everything is still quiet, they immediately run away leaving the hole. And when it was a little far from that place and Dipa was caught, they shouted after us. Fortunately it was still night, emang and Dipa could save themselves by jumping down the cliff edge of one of the other holes. We can hide because it's dark. We both stayed there for a long time, unable to go anywhere for fear of falling down the cliff. But when the day was a bit bright, when we were going to try to escape suddenly one of us caught us and shouted. We tried to ignore the scream and kept running. and since the surrounding is very dense and lush by the bushes also often by the trees of course we can freely sneak and hide. After all who chase after only two people, of course they can be tricked." Mr. dasim's story


     "Wow mang, something's wrong !" Suspicious mang Kardi.


     "Rubber ! I was confused as to why I should be trapped in a world like this !" Complaints mr. Dasim


     for a moment both of them were silent, and Mr. Dasim and Dipa had already finished eating.


     "ohh yes jang, Ohim and Dade where are you now, are they still here ?" Ask Mr. Dasim, he just remembered his friends, especially the village that is Dade and the Ohim.


     "No idea, they haven't been seen for a long time, they haven't gone anywhere." Mang Kardi.


     "Dad baby." Guman mr. Dasim while gulping down the remaining water.


     "Want a plan next how ?" Ask Mang Kardi while staring at Mr. Dasim.


     Somehow the heart of mang Kardi felt pity and worry for Mr. Dasim. But once the situation was safe, and the hole promised hope, he was eager to have Mr. Dasim come in the hole.


     "Jang, in fact, is confused but there is no other choice but to get out of this mining area.hopefully you can help emang." Please Mr. Dasim.


     "It could be mang, even if it's hard !" said Mang Kardi while staring intently. "And also does mamang have no provisions ?" Add mang Kardi.


     "Well let alone provisions, food has none, all this because it is forced, driven by feelings of annoyance and disappointment. Why does all this have to happen." Complaints mr. Dasim.


     "Patience is actually me too, but if we are careless we can die silly, silly, and the wife actually wants to leave this place because it is very thin hope to achieve anything that used to be imagined, want to be rich, want to have a house, a car. Well that's just an empty wishful thinking that torments." Mang Kardi's.


     Hearing Kardi's explanation, Mr. Dasim fell silent, his mind was more confused.


     "So how's jang ?" Said Mr. Dasim.


     "Look at mang, I have a little supply that can be given to emang, so that you can get out of this place." Rose of Kardi. "But actually I feel worried and do not have the heart to see the state of this emang. It's not an ordinary mang trip, but it's an incredible journey, it's a life and death mang journey. Because for days, weeks and even months have to penetrate the wilderness living in a jungle full of threats, either from wild animals or wild people." Mang Kardi.


     "Betul jang Kardi, if calculated there seems to be very risky or cancel the intention. But then again, I'm desperate, wanting to get out of this area." Firmly Mr. Dasim was unanimous on his intentions.


     "Yes then I can only pray that the journey will be safe. I also know some of the experiences that happen to people, can be expected as a lesson. People who work abroad alone can run through the forest, they run away because they are threatened with punishment, he said, they are considered illegal workers.well according to the story, they finally arrived in his hometown. Well mamang also desperate, but there must be supplies, later I will prepare." Tukas mang Kardi's.


     "Thank you, jang." Sahut Pak Dasim with a feeling of joy.


     "Emang should bring a few packs of matches for cooking, bring knives and machetes for hunting, a small pot for cooking and others, all of which I will prepare, he said, including a few liters of rice." Mang Kardi's remarks gave hope.


     Hearing the offer and idea of mang Kardi, Mr. Dasim suddenly happy, hope suddenly reappeared.
