TRAPPED IN THE MAYIT VALLEY

CHAPTER 11. WHAT'S WITH THE FOG?

The atmosphere returned to normal again after Gilank said about guyonan (joking) about Brewok empal. Now that Mr. Sapudi was looking at all of us, it seemed like he was studying our faces.

“Heh you... “ said sir Sapudi to Broni.

“Who shows here there is a village?” the question from Mr. Sapudi is repeated again….

“I don't know sir, I only met that person in area B when we were lost and in a coffee shop” Broni replied

“Try you tell me the characteristics of that person and how you can meet that person, and please be honest with me, no one covered cover” said Mr. Sapudi

“So that time my friend and I had attended a meeting in the city of P. That time my friend and I stayed at the party secretariat in the city of S” Broni started the story

“A night trip home accompanied by Drizzle, especially plus the condition of both of us who were a bit drunk resulted in us getting lost pak”

“Actually the road from the city of P to the city of S is straight until.. But somehow when on the robin pedestal we did not know at first how, we were suddenly already among the trees in the forest”

“In a semi-conscious state we met a young man who was either really a young man or not, anyway he said if you want to follow me safely and do not get drunk when on the trip”

“For a moment, then we were already on the big road leading to the city of S, so I decided to stop at a satay stall that was still open at that time.”.

“Well while we were eating, there was a young man who came and ordered satay as well. I did not respond so much to the young man, only he had time to ask”

“Exit from the party event ya mas?. I replied yes mas.. In the city of P, and is on the way back to the city of S”

“Because at that time I got a task from my supervisor to find a remote village to be held well just extension eh.... uh disguised campaign pak hehehe, then I asked the young man, so I asked him, is around here there is a village located in farosok”

“Then the young man said there was.. And he explained to me how to get to that village. And finally we got here” said Broni finished his story.

Eight cups of coffee appeared in front of us. then Mr. Sapudi told us to drink the coffee. from the look of Mr. Sapudi's face there seems to be a little change after Broni finished telling the story.

“Mas Broni.. First I will say that you are very, very lost” said Mr. Sapudi after sipping hot coffee made by his wife.

“This village is without name, and it is located in the valley of Mayit. Residents here are no more than fifteen souls.we live from the field and gardening” said Mr. Sapudi.

“You are far from the route told by the person who met you Broni” mas continued Sapudi sir

“Both of you do not need to hold a campaign here.. Because this village does not need help from anywhere, we here already live in peace and thank God and nature that we can be happy in the simplicity of”

“Three... you must leave here before the fog comes.. before the fog hits you on Jalan“ said Mr. Sapudi.

“Now enjoy this makeshift food made my wife, and then think of a way to get out of here” said Mr. Sapudi with a serious face

Fried empal and its grain (fat) has been served in front of us, there is no white rice, there are only tubers and fried meat with large portions.

“Please eat, the salary is useful in the cold like this, uh happened to be my wife got a bit of meat, so it can be served to y'all”

No one answered Mr. Sapudi, because we were busy with our food. I who basically do not like to eat beef or the like, especially Gajih obviously only take a little meat served by Mr. Sapudi's wife.

Ivon and Novi also took a little. Unlike Gilank who filled his mouth with meat provided by Mr. Sapudi's wife…..Broni is like Gilank, they both seem to be starving.

Fats.. not hard, a bit of loss like meat that dipresto, and a little musty smell.maybe the meat of wild animals in this forest.

“Pak Sorry.. Where is the bathroom, sir?” asked Gilank suddenly after spending a few pieces of meat and fat that were large in size

“Sorry we are here bathing and urinating in the river.. Uh, um, we're gonna pee. Now just to the river before the fog comes” replied Sapudi sir

For some reason, Pak sapudi always talked about the fog that would come with a slightly smiling face. Was it just me who felt that he was smiling a little or my friends were looking too.

“Which side is the place to urinate and to shower pack.?” ask Gilank, whose face is holding up a taik that will come out of his ass

“You cross the bridge with bamboo barongan right.. before the bridge to the left, there is a path, later there you will see a place to bathe and to defecate” replied Mr. Sapudi

He said with a smile again, something seemed to be hidden from his face, but the smile was not visible at all, and now he showed us a place where we could do morning activities.

But bright eggplant, I will not bathe if it is here, the air here is very cold, maybe to defecate even I will think twice if I have to touch the cold river water.

“If you are going there fast, do not get to the first fog that can not be guessed when it comes”

This guy drove us away or there was something about the fog to come…

Or let me explain that last night at twelve o'clock we had met with the fog, would he say something else after I told him about the coming fog?

“Pak Sapudi, last night when we got there in the forest, when our car could not move because it was squeezed by trees, actually we were exposed to mists”

“The fog is thick and lasts only about uh how many Von, how many minutes the fog it appears?”

“Five minutes mas Wil” replied Ivon

“True sir..the fog had broken through our car for five minutes... is that the fog you mean?”

Mr. Sapudi's face changed…. He was not smiling like before, he was silent and seemed to be thinking.

Is it true that fog is meant by Mr. Sapudi…. Because he was just silent

But only briefly, because next he then smiled back.

“Not...not that fog I mean..in the valley of Mayit there is a dense fog and gray, if the fog comes the residents here enter the house, the house, because the fog is very cold and misleading”

“Means I tell you to get out of here immediately before getting lost in the fog which sometimes also brings strong winds”

“Oh yes sir, why is this valley called mayit valley?” broni asked suddenly while still chewing the large size fried meat

“That's just the name of the residents here, because we often find bodies lying in the forest before the river.. Maybe a murder victim or something, I don't know”

“But every resident here found a corpse in the forest, they immediately buried there behind the house you occupy it” replied Mr. Sapudi

“Just we here often get a corpse that out of nowhere comes, and we bury it in this village”
