I told Novi about Mr. Bowo who was carrying Tejo's truck, and about the fact that Tejo's package had died a long time ago.
Novi's face was of course tense, because what we met near the grave of the balung was only able to be the ghosts of Mr. Tejo and his son.
“Mas Wil, why is it weird gini yes mas?” ask Novi
“Udahlah Nov, I assume all this is indeed something that we must meet and we run, it seems there has been someone who set Nov, so yes live aja”
“Iya mas”
I can feel Novi's answer is kind of like that, there are doubts also with what we did.
Novi and Ivon were in the car, while Kus and I slept on the terrace of the SPBU office along with several truck drivers waiting for the morning to arrive.
Mr. Bowo who was carrying a truck belonging to a dead Tejo pack now goes into the truck cabin, he sleeps there while waiting for the morning to arrive as well.
I don't understand what Novi and I are going through, it all feels like a pattern that was deliberately held for me and Novi.
Even about Ivon, I still doubt whether he is the real Ivon or not. I don't trust the people around me.
I saw that Mr. Kus was asleep, and I was not sleepy at all.
Sitting in the dark and the snoring sounds of some people who were also sleeping felt strange, like they were in the terrible middle of nowhere.
I could only daydream, and the longer I ended up sleeping and falling asleep…..

“Let's wake up w Wildan, it's morning.we continue the journey” said the voice of Mr. Kusno.
“Aaahhmm yes sir, I want to pee first pak”
“Eh sir, the trucks that are here are not there, where are they all pack?”
“Hehehe they from tadu have started mas, the road after dawn. Let's go poop first, I'll wake up Novi and Ivon” said Mr. Kus
The land in this area is empty, leaving only two trucks. They also leave after dawn.
After Novi and Ivon, as well as Mr. Kus dealing with the toilet, we finally continued to head to our main destination.
“We may only be half an hour from here already there mas, so prepare yourself to enter into the valley mayit” said Mr. Kus while driving a car
“What should we prepare pack?” ask Novi
“Nothing, just mentally mbak hehehe
The car drove fast towards the village where we started a social service event with our previous friends. Nothing strange during the trip.
Whether this is set, yes it may have been arranged by who knows.
“Later after we pass the grave balung, we will walk yes, and remember there the fog is very thick, we have to walk side by side”
No one responded to Mr. Kus' words, because indeed we had already named before.
The journey has entered the village, the newly built market is on our right. The car continued to drive towards the cemetery of the balung, the cemetery where we had met with strange people.
“In front already grave balung, vast and ancient grave, grave where buried the unnamed corpse from the time of war”
“Makanya called the cemetery of the balung, because it is said that many bones from the victims of war were buried there”
“Later after the grave, there is a fork, there we will stop the car and start walking towards the river”
“Eh we do not ride ojek only sir?”
“Hahahah no, better just walk and feel what is around us later” replied Mr. Kus
At the market there were some motorcycle taxi stands, but Mr. Kus did not stop his car, this car continued to head towards the grave without stopping at all.
Now to my left is an ancient grave, which is terrible, for the most part unkempt!
The extent of the cemetery, when we were here did not have time to see the grave, but now I can see that the grave is very large.
The car has passed the grave, now the situation here began to be thin fog, the same as when we were here. shortly after the car turned to the right, but did not stop as Mr. Kus said earlier.
“Kok does not stop sir?”
“Let's go mas, so we walk not too far”
The car continued on the same road when we passed here by ojek. This area is already exposed to the thin fog we have experienced before.
The car kept on going and then turned left, onto a smaller road that was worse than the road it had been on.
“Kok turn here sir?”
“This is a shortcut mas, because the road that was too far and if we walk will waste time”
“But at the end of the road there will be a bridge leading to the valley?”
“Iya there will be a bridge, but here we can also cross, because there are parts of the river that narrow and shallow”
What is true this Mr. Kus said, I am increasingly doubtful and suspicious of this person.
But he's been here twice, maybe this road he found while saving his friend.
