Itinerantur Temple

TEMPUS 6: Getting Different Things

I just went into Bang Wara's room. Room whose condition is always organized and clean, just like Kak Elang's room. Bang Wara is also a bit of OCD, so all the items should look so neat and correct.

When I entered my brother's room, I didn't dare to touch anything carelessly. OCD people will feel uncomfortable when their goods are touched by others, because it could trigger a change in the layout that has been justified itself.

I saw Bang Wara open her desk drawer. The first drawer, where it stores objects needed daily such as batteries, scissors, small screwdrivers, insulation, and other trinkets. All of it is also stored in an orderly manner using containers after containers of the same shape and arranged in a row in the drawer.

I, as a woman, feel inferior to my brother's level of neatness. I want to be like that, but I'm the impatient kind of person. Returning jackets and socks alone is always out of place. It's better to just throw it, hihi.

Bang Wara has invented the pocket watch battery. It was small in size and thin round in shape like a medicinal pill.

“Sit in bed.” Tell her.

I was still standing, then nodding when told to sit down. Bang Wara also directly sat beside me. He had also held a thin iron ruler, which was thirty centi meters long.

The ruler was used to open the edge of the back cover of the pocket watch. In order to be able to insert or replace the clock battery which is located on the back.

However, I saw my brother frowning in wonder when he had pointed the tip of the ruler at the back of the pocket watch. I asked, “why Bang?”

“Kok no edges yes.” Bang Wara muttered, then showed it to me.

I also just realized, that the pocket watch does not have an edge for opening access on the back. There should be edges and a slight gap in the clockwork player section, but this is not there. I was astonished too. “Iya well.. why is there no anyway?” My toot.

“Maybe they were designed that way, dek.” Said, who now calls me ‘dek’.

I nodded, but still astonished. “What do you do if you can not enter the battery? It's saved? How strange..”.

Bang Wara was seen wrinkling her forehead. “It should work and can be turned on.” Surely said.

“Bang Wara no solution?”

“You just wait.”

“Means?” I ask who does not understand.

“Waiting for how that pocket watch works. Father's gift items, it will show how it works itself later. And only the owner knows how the goods he has.” work Bang Wara. Then he put the pocket watch on me.

I see in the back, there is also the same writing as at the bottom of the box. Latin writing is ‘Tempus Itinerantur’, which the word Bang Wara means time travel or English is Time Travel.

The pocket watch is not just that. But it also has a chain that can be used for necklaces, hung on the waist of pants, or can be hung also on the back of the rearview mirror in the middle of the car.

“So I have to witness for myself how it works?” my many.

Bang Wara nodded immediately. “Just wait.”

“But it will actually work Bang?”

“It is, it definitely works.”

“Kok brother is sure?” Askaqua.

Bang Wara chuckled softly. “Yes sure lah, Lova. You just experience something strange every day. Should be this father-given thing working.”

“Indeed, if you do not experience anything strange, it means that this object from the father will not work?”

Bang Wara nodded. “Iya, kayak Ravi.”

I nodded my head, feeling a bit familiar with that explanation. “Unfortunately you all also get a pocket watch?” I asked who was curious again. Well, how'd you like? I was like a newbie who needed to be guided, taught, and asked a lot.

“The Eagle alone is the same as you. He also got a pocket watch.”

Before answering my question, Bang Wara stood up and took something from inside the briefcase that she carried with her every day. Black box work bag that looks elegant.

Bang Wara sat down again while holding something in her right hand. It looked like it had twigs as well and was round like my pocket watch. Only one of the spheres was plain-colored round, and the round object could be opened.

It looks like a locket. But wait, inside it also displays numbers and clockwork. I kept quiet and wondered in my own mind.

“Pocket watch necklace. The point is the clock as well, but in the form of a pendant. Like necklaces. There was a picture of my father here too. Not the brother who attached, released also can not. Father's photo here looks fused with this thing.” Bang Wara.

I also stared for a moment. Still observing Bang Wara's stuff. When the locket was opened, the empty right-hand side was indeed displaying a picture of the father alone. The father in the photo is just a formal style, like a KTP photo.

“You hold?” Tawar Bang Wara's.

Of course I nodded and immediately accepted the thing. I held the pocket watch and I looked at the photo of my father who seemed young, as there were no whiskers around his lips.

I smiled too. Looks like Bang Wara's belongings are the most special, because there is a photo of the father. Understandably, my brother will indeed be first.

“Both Bang. It also has no rust..” murmured.

“Entah why can it be so. To be sure, all the stuff that the father gave us - we will never rust or fade. It looks like it is from a rare and durable metal material. Will look new continue, the important thing also must be wiped occasionally, kept clean.”

“Can take a shower?” My toot.

Bang Wara chuckled softly. “You want to wear that pocket watch as a necklace? Where to mind taken shower all.”

“I was just aja, aja if the bath.” My word.

“Better don't, if the water comes in and breaks how?”

Ah, yes, too. Although this pocket watch of mine has no edges on the back for access to be opened, but it seems like this pocket watch is not waterproof like my mascara. Hm, that's ridiculous of me.

“Hehe, yes yes. Continue if you have Ravi Kak what Bang?”

“Ravi can Compass, the color is also silver like this. If Eagle, the same pocket watch model as yours.” Answer Bang Wara.

Hearing that answer, I snorted a little. “Then, there must be times when I dong nanya to him? He has the same thing as me. Males ah Bang, nanya to Kak Elang tuh feels like a police detective who is ready to interrogate the suspect.” My complaint.

“Hahahaha, just relax. Wherever the Eagle may continue like that. The eagle also has a caring side, only you are not close to him. Brother sure, once he knows you've opened father's box and have the same thing as him, surely Eagle will also sympathize.”

“Haish, where possible!”

“Be looking forward if you don't believe. But remember, surely the function of your pocket watch is different. Ah, I don't know either. Better just make sure yourself.”

I also pouted. Confirm itself? How-to? This pocket watch alone cannot be given a battery. So how does it work like?

I'm very curious. Maybe the answer will happen tonight. So now I don't want to hurry back to the room. I don't want to go back alone first.

I decided to linger in Bang Wara's room. I'd better ask him about his abilities.

“Bang, can you clear or certain the ability that you have from pocket watch it?” Askaqua.

Bang Wara seemed to weigh and sighed softly. Then he nodded. “Bby. But promise me, don't mess around in this room. Quite silent on the mattress only.” Strictly because I might be worried about ransacking his room.

I nodded obediently and put on a grin. “Oke.” Reply while I put my body in the most comfortable position. That is sitting cross-legged while holding my brother's soft pillow, preparing to wait for Bang Wara to start telling stories and explaining.
