TRAPPED IN THE MAYIT VALLEY

CHAPTER 86. OLD FREAK

The clothing store near this market is crowded as well, it is also only seven in the morning but once this store is opened buyers immediately stormed this clothing store.

There was nothing strange when Novi and I bought clothes for me, which was more important to have clothes than to wear shirts and pants with Novi.

“Now we look for breakfast first. There is a rice stall that tastes pretty mas” pointed Novi to the left of the clothing store

We went to the food stall, only after coming from the clothing store I felt as if someone was following us from behind.

Several times I looked back, but no one followed us, if the one who passed us was of course a lot…

I don't know if this is just my feeling or if someone is following us, but I just don't feel safe when I get out of Novi's house.

“This is the food stall, we can have breakfast while thinking what else we will do mas”

“Eh mas Wildan from earlier why the hell look back and keep like that?”

“So it feels like someone is following us Nov”

“No mas no.. It's just the feeling of Wildan” said Novi while looking back.

“Ya it could be just my feeling Nov, but still we have to be more careful than before, we are not safe Nov” at all

In a stall that was currently deserted, maybe it was too early in the morning we were here so the buyer of this stall is currently only me and Novi besides one old man who wears a dull batik suit and a dull blue box holster.

The seller also seems to still be inside, because I hear the sound of spatula or my language called sotil that hit the pan.

“Wait here first aja mas, maybe the seller is masak” said Novi

The stall is not large and simple, because in this stall there are only two long tables with long benches.

So if in a crowded situation, buyers will be crowded to eat here.

I sat on one of the long benches made of hard wood. Next to me the old man who was wearing batik clothes. He just sat there smoking his cigarette.

Novi was sitting across from me, so he was facing directly to this old man who was next to me.

There is no coffee glass or food in front of parents who are busy smoking cigarettes at a glance, uh not at a glance, but indeed cigarette smoke smells similar to the smell of frankincense.

When I looked at the cigarette packs on the table next to the iron matches but not Zippo, the metallic green matches were dull..

Instantly I smiled to myself when I saw the brand of cigarette packs written.

KLUBUNJANI…. NAGGING

Hahahaha cigarettes are not familiar.cigarettes are usually sold at flower stalls and funeral equipment in the market.

I've known Nanta from Bluekuthuq several times smoking this cigarette, the smell of sangar, the smell of frankincense, but strangely Nanta mas like the cigarette.

Novi and I waited and sat down with the old man who was smoking a cigarette and exhaled his smoke upward…

Huuugh….

Actually I'm a smoker too, and I'm used to being full of cigarette smoke, but for this one it really makes me unable to breathe for a second.

When the white smoke from the old man in front of me began to fade, it turned out that the old man was staring at me and Novi in turn, the old man's eyes were very sharp looking at me and Novi…

Not long after that the old man sucked deeply into his cigarette, and exhaled his smoke throughout the shop room…..

The smell of frankincense that resembles this fog made my eyes poignant.

Novi several times coughing, not only Novi only, I also coughed because of the terrible cigarette smoke.

Slowly the cigarette smoke faded away, but before fading completely in front of me the stall owner was stirring up a fry!

A basin containing various fried foods was arranged and in taru on our table.

Novi held my hand while glancing at the chair where the old man who was smoking was.

In front of us there was no one..

“Mas.. This is not the place to daydream and date, you want to drink and eat what?” ask the shopkeeper

“Mbak .. You are the owner of the empty house is kan” said the shopkeeper again

“Eh yes ma'am, uh we did not daydream ma'am, from earlier we were both watching the old man sitting in front of me, the old man who smokes”

“You are there-anything..my shop just opened, only you two just entered here!”

“From yesterday you two I asked what you want to drink and eat what, but you are just daydreaming!” said the seller sniffly

“Eh was next to me and in front of this Novi mom there is an old man who smokes, the cigarette is strange ma'am, cigarette stamp menjan made in muntilan”

“Then the smoke he blew until this mother's shop was full of smoke that smelled like bu”

“Cigarette smoking there is also a sell in the market there, in the part that sells flowers and death tools hahaha” replied the seller

“Hahahah... You guys are just-nothing, early in the morning how you behave strangely.. Come what breakfast, so you guys are not weird again”

I could only quietly listen to what the seller's woman or the owner of this stall said, I could not dodge it anymore if what I saw was not real.

Me and Novi breakfast immediately lost appetite after I and Novi saw something that was not real. But it feels very real, with the figure and smell of cigarette smoke.

But for now I do not want to discuss and extend the matter, because here there is still a rice seller mother, I do not want to be a gossip event here.

“Bu. I want to tanya” said Novi

“What mbak”

“Eh was there a friend of mine whose characteristics gondrong around this market?”

“Ngak.. What is it mbak?”

“Yesterday night my friend took a walk, but until this morning has not returned” Novi said again

“Ngene ae mbak, I love the solution, until both to the post at the end of the market there. The guard night until later at eight is Mr. Keri. try to ask Mr. Keri just”

“But the guy's eyes duitan mbak, just love it so that he is not lazy to answer questions until mbak”

“The person said he had knowledge also mbak, but that's it, he did not free the information he would give, surely he asked for mbak” rewards

“Ya already ma'am, I'll try to find him sir Keri, uh how many bu?”

I actually don't want to ask anyone about Gilank, I can think that GIlank is not our friend who should be, so I think there is no he is also not papa.

Because he looks like a trigger for trouble for me and Novi.

But why did Novi ask this seller about Gilank, but later I discussed with Novi.

*****

“Nov, why did you ask the seller about Gilank?”

“I don't think we're dealing with Gilank Nov, I think we're being directed to something dangerous by claiming to be GIlank it”

“About Wildan sure that WIldan's friend is not the real one, is he invisible?”

“But from the incredible smell that Novi sure it's a real Gilank mas mas mas mas"
