THE WOUNDED EARTH

TRAPPED

***

In the afternoon, the clock shows at 17:00.

Remember my plan with Ririn who was going to the hospital to find information about Ridwan's brother.

I rushed to finish my task of checking the stock of display items on the shelf.

"Yat.." Ronald's sudden bang was behind me.

"Yes bang, what's the matter...?"

"Can't today you overtime because Elin again can't enter, her sister who was treated at the hospital just died.."pinta bang Ronald.

"Can bang.." I replied casually.

"Love ya.." said bang Ronald smiling then passed away.

"Let me postpone the plan to go to the hospital with Ririn.

"Oh Yat, I'm still here anyway...?"

"I've been waiting for you." - Ririn's voice with her crisp tone.

"Sorry Rin, Ronald asked me to change Elin's shift because Elin's sister just died so she couldn't get in.." my light.

"How do we proceed with our plan...?"

"We postpone it .." answered me with a bad feeling to Ririn.

"Hmmm yeah, if so I go home first.."

"Be careful .." I accompanied Ririn's footsteps away.

It doesn't feel like dusk is coming.

The voice of Adzan was everywhere.

I went back to worship and then prayed magrib.

The path of life lived by humans is different.

And this is my way of life, more suffering and problems I feel than I like them.

I just hope to be given patience and sincerity in living it.

I stepped into the locker to pick up the phone in the bag.

Poor mom will worry about me if I haven't come home, so I send a short message on the watshapp to Bani's number.

After making sure the message has been sent, I turn it off and return the phone back into the bag.

Then lock the locker to make it safer.

For a moment I was silent feeling a whack of mules in my stomach.

I quickly set foot to the toilet near the musholla.

"Ah there is a person.." My inner when I want to open the door handle but locked from the inside.

I had to choose a toilet that was a little far away, located next to the back shed.

"Thank God it's empty."I thought and rushed in.

When I finished, I was quick to clean myself but suddenly the lights in the toilet went out.

I open the handle, but it's locked from the outside.

My heart began to panic, my mind was not upset.

"Relax Yati.."my inner.

From the fentilation cracks I saw the bright atmosphere outside, the lights were not extinguished as I expected.

I have a bad mind.

"Hey, don't mess with dong.." yelled at me while banging on the door.

While I was silent, trying to catch a sound from outside there might be someone I could ask for help.

"Please..please.."I directed the sound through the fentilation hoping that anyone could hear, although I knew the distance from the front to the toilet of this warehouse was quite far.

If there are also people who want to go to the toilet would prefer the one near the musholla rather than here.

"Oh my God, what else is this...?"my inner.

I leaned against the wall, contemplating my fate.

Only the do'a in the heart continues to flow without sound.

I tried repeatedly to climb looking out through the fentilation, looking for a way out or screaming for help.

And it doesn't feel like I've probably been trapped in this toilet for almost 3 hours.

Tired of standing for too long, I sat down crouching.

I took the dipper and then hit the tub of water repeatedly hard.

I keep hitting it non-stop.

Tears were slowly dripping along with the dipper punch in my hand.

The tiredness in my body and the sleepiness that started to linger in my eyes forced my consciousness to slowly disappear.

"Yati, yati..you're inside...?"

"Bang Ronald.." muttered me who suddenly woke up from the sound.

"Bang,bang Ronald.I'm here bang, please open the door.." cried out to me while banging on the toilet door.

I heard a rapid step approaching.

"Wait a minute Yat.." Shouts from the outside.

There was a loud punch in the door handle, but it could not open yet.

"Yati, try to back away from the door.."ask bang Ronald.

"It's bang.."I replied.

Brucks.

Brucks.

Breakdown...

"Are you okay...?"bang asked Ronald looking worriedly watching my whole body.

I greeted his hands with glazed eyes.

I sat down weakly with tears that continued to flow nonstop.

Bang Ronald clasped my shoulders and rested my head on his chest.

"Have no fear, I'm here." he said calmly.

Slowly Ronald helped me get up and walk.

"Wait a minute." she said after helping me sit in her car.

Not long after he came to bring my bag.

The car is traveling at medium speed.

"Have you eaten...?"

"Not bang..."

Then the car turned in a warteg on the side of the road.

Bang Ronald quickly got off and then opened the door for me.

"Let's go down, you must eat first so as not to limp.."phended him.

"But bang.."reject me.

Bang Ronald pulled my arm slowly making me no longer evasive.

We sat facing.

"Mbak, please make 2 teas warm same rice ointment ya.."his request to the owner of warteg.

"Well, mas." answered quickly.

2 Cups of warm tea have arrived at our table.

"Drink first..."

I just nodded in agreement.

"Alhamdulillah."my inner self after feeling the warm tea that soaked my throat.

Hose 10 minutes, last night in the message also came.

"Let's eat .." said bang Ronald who helped pull his rice plate.

We eat without talking.

I'm the lyrics to Ronald bang that look very greedy.

The person who noticed finally realized and smiled.

"Harap, after breaking the door.."whisper it.

Without feeling I smiled at her joke.

I didn't think Ronald, who is famous for his stiff and cold attitude, could be joking too.

"You want to add...?"bargain her.

"Udah full bang.."I reply.

I sipped a warm tea that was still half a glass.

A moment of silence between us.

"Now try to tell me, how you got stuck in the warehouse toilet." said bang Ronald break the atmosphere.

I told everything to Ronald.

He silently watched .

He heard the long breath.

"That's a good thing you're not doing anything."

"Tomorrow don't go to work, just rest at home."

"All right hand it to me, let me find the culprit."

Ronald's bang voice was full of emphasis.

I also nodded.

After the Ronald bang paid, the car drove towards my house.

"Thank you so much bang,"

"If there is no brother, maybe I am trapped there until morning." I said after getting out of his car.

"It's okay, now go in and rest..."

Slowly the car moved away.

"Assynoltom..."

"Wa alaikum salam..."

"Kok came home late, brother..?"ask the man who opened the door.

"Sister asked for overtime because brother's sister friend brother died." answered me while sitting taking off his shoes.

"Yes you know, but it's almost 12.. his return hour is also a mole...?"search Bani.

"Oo that, there bang Ronald who did not send you home all we stopped by to eat first in warteg.." I explained.

"Ooo that..."

"Yes, I don't want to rest first ..capek.."

I put my body on the bed, enjoy being able to lie down.

I can't imagine being trapped until morning.

"Who would do such a thing to me....?"

"I don't think I've ever been in trouble with anyone.."

"Let's bang Ronald finish it.."my inner.
