Magic Key

PART 2 - WHITE FIGURE

Me and some friends who were on the morning shift went to work together. Ah not working. We still have to train for about seven to ten days.

As introduced yesterday, we stopped by Bu Yayuk's food stall. There are various kinds of breakfast such as nasi uduk, yellow rice, grilled rice, or rames rice. I bought a package of five thousand that included fried and one glass of mineral water. The package name goceng. It contains rice, not using side dishes such as chicken or fish. There is only rice accompanied by stir-fry and one fried tempeh or bala-bala (bakwan). That's enough for me who still has to save money for about a month to two months.

After breakfast at Bu Yayuk's shop we continued walking towards the company.

There is a motorcycle taxi driver at the ojek base who was informed yesterday by the leader who led our journey. But it's better to walk around. Exclaims. Morning sports as well.

Arriving at the company gate, we were directed to head to the open hall. Our security guard in black and white is still not an employee. So all of us in the same clothes gathered in the open hall, waiting for the next briefing.

*****

When I first entered the production room after several briefings that took a long time even until the lunch break was just finished, the smell of rusty iron went straight into my smell. Perhaps it was the smell of scrap metal that had stood firm for this company until the age of seventy.

Toilets and drinking water taps are available in each part of the production. And I got a part in one of the parts in the first part of the production roses here. First production process. The running of production is dependent on how the condition of our parts works. When it comes to sewing, my part is to make patterns and cut materials as possible. That kind of thing is about.

I was introduced to the leader who will be my leader for the future. After going around introducing me to the colleagues under the leadership of Mr. Suparman, I was given the task according to what I got in the training room this morning. I need a separate process to do the work I'm looking at right now. Indeed, in theory I have memorized it out of my head, but in fact to practice it I still need guidance alone. I'm kuwalahan. You guys are just like me, aren't you? Theories understand but if told to practice it will think two to three more times to understand? Is it just me? Haha... That's how I am. Especially my first day of work. As much as possible I will not make mistakes even though the nervousness continues to spread throughout my body.

"Hi, Airy. Welcome to one piece flow." Sapa who just came to me.

"Thank you." My reply is as polite as possible. Even though he looks the same age as me, as a new person I have to respect the old people, right?

Oh yes, the one piece flow mentioned earlier is my part. The first part I meant. In the future, maybe I will call it more.

"My name is Eva." I woke up from my daydream. Fortunately, I still heard his name. Evas.

"My name is Airy." My reply without further ado.

Stupid me! Didn't Eva just call my name? He knows my name why I'm still introducing myself?

I smiled awkwardly.

"Hopefully stay here. If anyone does not understand directly ask the friends here. If we can't ask Superman."

"Sir Superman?" I frowned because I was confused.

"Yes. Our leader." Reply Eva while giggling.

"Suparmans? Superman?" From here I started to have a feeling, and..

"Yes that. We're all here calling him Superman. He is kind and likes to joke. I wouldn't be hurt if I was fooled. Don't be afraid even if it looks bad." Eva's story is long.

"Hehe, yes." My reply.

"Ah yes, I know who here. That's Dena's mom. That one is Ipeh tea. Grandpa, look at him he's old, right? Ubanan. Haha.if that's Sapri. And his style is like that boss's om Japar." Eva started introducing my new comrades occasionally interspersed with carefree laughs with her slightly hoarse voice.

Eva kept chattering about interesting things during her time working here.

After a little chat with Eva, I knew that Eva, Risa and Uci had just graduated this year just like me. The difference is that they are native here, even before their diploma came out they were already working here. It's been about three months.

From Eva's story, I know that although Ipeh tea looks as mature as Dena's mother, Ipeh tea is unmarried. Unlike the mother of Dena whose marriage age has stepped on the third year. Then I can't just talk let alone offend Ipeh tea. That's the one thing I should remember the most.

If your grandfather likes to sing while working, let's not sleepy he said. Often even in the middle of work hours he went to brew coffee and hang out near the toilet. Why near the toilet? Because during working hours only the toilet is a place that can be visited in addition to the production room. Want to make coffee at work hours? there must be security. And usually if he wants to sing will invite a duet friend like this time.

"Neng Risa, let's go here with Grandpa."

And Risa happily agreed. Their duet became a separate entertainment for me. They are not one family, but they look harmonious and compact. So I thought I should also quickly blend in with them so that I wouldn't be labeled autistic.

If it's Japar like Eva said, he acts like he's the boss. He even likes to rant around, Superman. Eits.but only joking, not that serious. He's pretty funny, but this tall guy talks about slovenly stuff. And I know I have to put a little distance with Japar. I also still have the shame to hear such slovenly things.

And there's so much more that Eva told me. But I just skip the story about Uci, Risa, Feby tea, Teti tea, Kokom tea, Adah tea, and many more, let not most.

I picked up the tools I should have used when I was working. Once twice Eva gave me a briefing so that my work could be efficient, so that the conveyor part did not experience problems such as having to wait.

I was thinking 'the guys here look fun and friendly. How are my boarding friends on their own part?'.When I think of my boarding friends, I see a white shadow in front of the table where I do my work.  I retreated instinctively. My chest's up and down. My heart was pounding so many times faster than usual.

Whatisit? I'm sure it's not a human creature. I can't see things I shouldn't see. I don't even want to have the ability to see astral beings.

I'm like a daze. Where'd Eva go to talk to me since? Then why did that creature pass in front of me? If it really is an astral being, have I disturbed or offended its existence?

Sweat all over my body. The wet palm I squeezed tightly. Still thinking senselessly, suddenly my shoulder was patted from behind.

One sec. Two seconds. Three seconds I was still silent. I'm cradling it's gonna turn around or not. What if the one who patted my shoulder was the white figure I saw.

When I opened my mouth wanting to scream, a large hand suddenly shut my mouth quickly. After gathering some courage, I opened my eyes and looked at the person who had surprised me right now in front of me.

"Sorry." Said that man.

I didn't answer because I was confused. My mind is still floating somewhere.

The one standing in front of me grabbed my hands and held them gently. I don't know why I didn't refuse the stranger's hand.

"I'm Zaki. I'm an intern here. Sorry I missed you earlier. But for what you saw just now I saw it too." Said a person who claimed to be named Zaki.

I glared widening my eyes full. Manatap probed on Zaki 'so it's an astral creature?'

Like I can read my mind. Zaki nodded his head. "Yes right. Don't take your hands off and look at the pipe on the third row from where you're standing."

I don't know why I didn't refuse again. I squeezed Zaki's still faithful hand into my hand. Then I slowly followed his words.

I looked up and slowly counted the pipes to find the answer to what Zaki said.

Again I rewind myself as if by retreating I would be free from this situation. But Zaki held back my steps.

"Not to be afraid. They were here a lot longer before we came. It's only natural that they just want to meet new people." Tucked into the humor, but I became even more afraid.

How am I not afraid? Did he say I should get acquainted with an astral being that I had never even seen in my entire life, before today of course.

If you were me, wouldn't you be afraid to see those white figures swaying in the pipes above where we work. There was also a person sitting on the pipe and swinging his legs while laughing. And the creepiest thing was, when I saw those who were dressed in white, I felt distant from my co-workers. It was as if my co-workers were made deaf if I cried out for help. Or as if it was made blind so as not to see my frightened self as a result of that astral being.

I was thinking 'What was this place before it was made into this automotive factory? Or maybe a dead grave or something like that in the horror movies I've seen?'

"I have to get back to work. You don't have to be afraid. If you're afraid they'll bother you even more. But you also have to be careful. We'll see you again."

Without waiting for me to say a word or reply to his words, Zaki was gone.

Waitaminute! I didn't even tell him my name. Yeah, well, he didn't ask, did he?

Ah right too. Our uniform is the same. Black-and-white.

*****

Nahlo.began to appear creatures that make fear.

Guess what the white figure meant? I think a lot of people know, haha..
