TRAPPED IN THE MAYIT VALLEY

CHAPTER 23. TEAR OFF WHITE CLOTH

“Try you light the wet hair Von..

“Mas Wil.. do not need to be curious mas.. let's go from here just” said Novi.

“Quiet Nov... We try to think logically first, who knows in the room there is a secret door that leads to the outside, and who knows there are indeed people who live in this village.”.

“because last night I heard the sound of people kayaking cutting hair in this room, so try to think logically that there are people living in this village and we can ask for help”

“Think logically that ghosts won't be able to cut hair and can't bring wet clothes here…. Really not rek?”

“Iya mas Wil” replied Novi in a carefree voice

“Well now try to look at that hair... does that wet hair match our lost friend's hair?”

“It seems not deh mas Wil. mass hair Gilank nggimbal nggilani, like crazy hair. While the hair of the Broni curls, while the one here is straight mas” replied Novi

“Ya already then.. return the clothes we used for bedding, we immediately find residents here and or we leave here”.

“Please wait for Wil, there is no harm in finding tubers first mas, yesterday Ivon saw next to this house there are many cassava plants that we can take for breakfast mas” said Ivon

“In addition to that yesterday afternoon Ivon had put a bucket that Ivon found outside, Ivon put it outside to hold rain water, later the water we can boil for drinking water we”

“It should be remembered we are in a plateau with cold air temperature, energy is needed here…. So let's unplug some cassava plants now before we leave this village” Ivon said

True said Novi. hair that does not belong to our lost friend, I had deg deg an, earlier, because the wet flannel there is similar to Gilank's who likes to wear Flannel motif clothes.

But after I looked carefully, the wet flannel was smaller in size compared to what Gilank used to be.

After finishing cleaning the clothes we used for bedding, we planned to take some cassava trees planted in front and side of this house.

But uh the cassava tree that is eaten is a root.cock it is the root of a tree…..

My mind is always negative…

“Yuk out of the house rec..aku wis starving, like eating cassava grilled good also heheheh” said Tifano

Bondet opens the door…

Huff again the fog is still in front of the yard, interspersed with spatter.

“Rek who took cassava, mosok we all out there rain heheheh”

“Let me ae sing take Tif, you take care of the house just as you add firewood in the furnace.”.

“Oh yes Von, the bucket that contains rain water where did you put it?”

“By the side of the mas house, Ivon will take it mas” Ivon replied

“Ayo Wil.. Same I ae take the cassava, let the cassava tree cepet, Soale kaike mist here start thick huh Wil?”

Right said Bondet.. Only five minutes later we open the door of the house, the fog that was initially ordinary, slowly the land began to thicken.

Mana hawane cold not karu-karuan sisan. pantesan houses in this village use wood and no ventilation at all except the gap above, for the outflow of smoke from the fireplace.

“Eh Ndet. we unplug the closest to this house only, not far away, I am worried about this mist Ndet”

“Yang next to the house only Wil. right next to the house is still on the home page is also”.

Ivon, Novi and Tifano were inside the house, while Bondet and I headed to the side..

The courtyard of this house was spacious as well, but the terrible one was fog.. This fog casts a shadow of a monstrous silhouette over the trees that were around here.

Several times I was surprised, I felt like I saw shadows or silhouettes of people, but after I looked more carefully it turned out to be only the shadow of a tree.

“Why Wil.. You see what?” ask Bondet who knows I'm surprised

“That's there Ndet, take a look.. It was like a human silhouette, but it was only a tree covered in fog alone Ndet”

“Mangkane it's Ndet. but from earlier my feeling is not good continues when we get out of the house Ndet”.

“Udahlah Ndet.. now which cassava tree we will remove Ndet ..bbrrrr... cold here Ndet”

“That's just Wil. if you look at the size of the tree, must be cassava in the ground is also large Wil”

“Yo Wis Ndet this one we just take.. fast yuk.... bbbrrrr...”.

I cut the trunk in half by breaking it, so that it is easy to pull this cassava tree from the ground…

I'm sure it's easy to pull it, because last night it was raining, the land here must be loose, not as clean as the land that is rarely exposed to rain water.

After several times we tried to pull, finally the roots of the cassava tree which is the cassava tuber we managed to pull out.

And it's also true of Bondet kara, cassava tubers are large and long, and unfortunately wrapped in loose clay..

.

“Wil... do not clean the soil first... it will be full and wrapped in cassava clay”.

“Let ae Ndet at home.. I'm not very cold here Ndet”

“Yow whiskah karepmu Wil. nek in unloading inside the house even make dirty Wil”

“Bbbrrrrr, we take it home first ae Ndet, tell Tifano and Novi to clean it...I'm wrong iki, out of the house do not pack a jacket..

Heavy Uggh also carries trees along with cassava tubers.perhaps because cassava tubers are still wrapped in clay so that it adds to the heavy burden of cassava itself.

*****

“Tif, Nov... please clean the cassava tubers from the ground bbbrrr...... I'm not strong cold air” me and Bondet are already in front of the house, it turns out in front of the house Novi, Ivon and Tifano sudan are waiting for us

“Salah mas Wildan out of the house do not pack a mas” jacket Novi said

“Von... The water you put in the bucket so you boil the pack?”

“That's a pot of mas..in the house when Ivon was looking for a place to boil, it turns out in the corner of the house there is a pot, and the condition is still new, and the, because when Ivon saw the inside was still clean there were no stains at all.

To warm myself from the cold air outside, Bondet and Ivon were chatting while Novi and Tifano were cleaning right in front of the door.

The situation outside the house is still drizzling, sometimes a bit heavy, sometimes only a soft drizzle, and fog.. The fog never disappeared from this place.

My body temperature was getting warm, I was not feeling cold anymore….

“JANC*K !” tifano shouted in front

“Rek kesino rec..fast” shouted Tifano again

I headed to the front of the house, where Novi and Tifano were cleaning the cassava that Bondet and I had taken out.

Some large cassava seeds have begun to be released from the loose soil by Tifano, but not the size of the cassava that makes Tifano surprised earlier.

But there is a tear of a white cloth that looks like the color of the ground that is wrapped between cassava tubers that are large in size.

The white cloth seems to have been in the ground long before this cassava was planted, because the position of the white cloth was wrapped between the cassava tubers.

“Mas Wil..” said Ivon looking at me

“Eh rec... how do you think, uh that white cloth what rec?”

“Wil.. don't be bad to think.. It could have been next to the house was a dumpster, and there were clothes wasted there” Bondet said

“Iya Ndet... but my mind can not be as logical as your mind ndet” I saw Ivon who was still stunned to see a cloth wrapped in cassava tubers
