Kosan Dwellers?

PPL (Part 7-End)

My PPL is three months. Signs that I and all PPL friends will soon leave SMK Mandiri.

It's sad to be parting ways with kids who are like friends. They are also sad because we will finish accompanying them to study in class. Even if it's just PPL teachers, at least we really teach like real teachers. Goodbye is always painful.

***

That morning I set off as usual from kosan by riding my matic motorbike to SMK Mandiri. My distance to the school is quite close, at least about 10 minutes until. That's also at a speed of 4okm/hour.

I drive my bike while breathing the morning air. Oh yes, every time I go to school, I must pass the rented house that Wati tea will rent. And the house still hasn't sold. I don't know, maybe the Bungsu doesn't want his house occupied by a stranger.

My bike will soon arrive at SMK Mandiri. But just about to enter the gate, I was taken aback by the sight before me. The tree in front of the school is gone. The tree that stood firm with thick leaves has now become pieces of wood that are still scattered. What was?

Why cut down?

Didn't he say the tree shouldn't be cut down?

"Take this," I thought to myself.

Until school, sure enough he said from yesterday many are possessed. It just so happened that yesterday I didn't come in because there was no schedule.

Oh yes, FYI (for your information), in SMK Mandiri there is a guard, he is like a gardener, as I recall. But he is a school guard who is not the original guard. He is a special guard because he is responsible for guarding the school from special things as well. Like the attacks from 'them' for example. Call him Mang Karman, his age may still be around 55 years.

Like that afternoon. Mang Karman, who is rarely seen at school, was in the cafeteria on break. Me and some friends of the PPL were sitting at one of the canteen tables to enjoy a bowl of spicy meatballs owned by Pak'e at that time. And we met Mang Karman.

It also happened that Mang Karman was chatting with ice cup sellers who were not far from the meatball cart pak'e. We did not intend to eavesdrop on Karman's chatter with the ice seller, but because his voice was quite loud, and it happened that our distance was also close, so we heard their chat. Not intentionally, hehe.

"Ngamuk last night" said mang Karman eagerly explained the incident last night at school to the iceman.

"There was news that the tree in front had to be cut down, I stayed here all day" continued Mang Karman.

The big tree in front should not be cut down, a lot of waiters, he said. Well yesterday finally the tree was cut down by who knows. But the point is, the reason the tree was cut down was for the widening of the highway. Front SMK Mandiri is the main street of the city.

Regarding the cutting of trees, it is actually not anyone's fault. It's just that I personally regretted that the shade tree had to be cut down. The big tree must be decades old, right? Too bad. Because to get a tree that big again also takes a long time.

Reforestation!!

Why the forest should not be deforested let alone deliberately made bald? Oxygen guys, oxygen.

Are not trees good for reducing global warming? Especially growing up on the side of the road. The tree is good for absorbing carbon dioxide emissions from passing vehicles. That's all I love. About the tree it's a lot of demitnya, I don't care ✌

"Certainly how is that? Front Demit is the one that's raging?" Mang ice chiming.

Me and the other friends were silent, pretending to eat meatballs while busy listening.

"Yes. He's rampaging. I had him communicate last night. A lot of pisan demit."

"...." - ".The ice also listened silently.

"One of them is Kuntilanak. He's raging come to me. He said, why is his house cut down?" Mang Karman explained.

"Then yesterday he made school noise by entering the students here. He wanted to show that he was angry" he continued.

"I negotiated with him. I said don't bother the kids here anymore, and thank God he wants to. He just asked to find a new place for him to stay."

Guys, do you understand the new place? And why did Aunt Kunti ask to be found? Why not search for yourself?

That's because everything is not as trivial as I used to look for kosan ya guys 😅

In their nature, they already have their own place. There was a waiter in the tree. In the corner there is already the demit. On the roof there is a demon. And other places with a gnaw like a waiter. Well, the point is they live like us, with their respective residences.

For that when their homes were destroyed, they were not easy to find a new place.

Just imagine if our house is evicted, where will we move?

Can't we move to a house that already has an owner? Can be thumped our citizens 😅

Yes that's how it is. Their world is like that too.

Aunt Kunti asked for a new place, and Mang Karman agreed.

Mang Karman has been staying at school for a few days. The goal is only one, keeping the creatures that were driven from the front tree so as not to plunge in the corners of the school and make it their residence. After all, the school is full of them. Especially if added to those who just disperse from the tree? It can beat the population of Indonesian citizens only later.

During the night vigil, one of the representatives of the socialite group Miss Kunti initially threatened Mang Karman that he would disturb the students of SMK Mandiri. But thankfully Mang Karman can promise a new place for them. Who knows where it is. Obviously not in school.

What I think, why are they so selfish? Shouldn't they be able to dooong bestow all their anger on us, man? Not all of us can see them. How do we know they're sitting in a henchman on a tree or even next to us right now?

They want it to be understood. Kayak you. Yes you.

"Because women want to be understood."

That's how the song Ada Band says.

Oh yeah, there's one piece of info I've gotten out of who, I forgot.

What is clear, he said, in their world there are clearly two types of traits, namely the kind of good and evil. But he said, the best they are there is comparable to the evil of humans in this world.

If the good ones are equal to the bad ones here, then what about the bad ones?

Wallahu nature.

Always increase our faith in God alone.

And in the end, as comfortable as I was at SMK Mandiri, I had to say goodbye to everyone in it. Especially for the students I teach, may you all be successful.

See you in the next episode.
