DO NOT DELIVERY GO-FOOD IF YOU ARE INDIGO

UNSPLASH

Within the subsequent story, a Gojek driver will violate the taboo (my very own composition) which states that drivers with indigo skills are prohibited from delivering Go-Meals. What’s the purpose? The younger man who’s the primary character of our story will show it.

“Do not ship go-food in case you’re an indigo!” mentioned one in every of my associates who gave this account. I simply nodded then. In spite of everything, all this time my potential to see spirits and spirits was fairly a burden for me. So I did not dare to tug at evening as a result of properly, I would even choose up passengers that different drivers could not see. I additionally all the time refuse go-food orders each time somebody is available in. At first I puzzled why he requested me to do this. What is the level of the ban? What does my potential as an indigo man must do with on-line meals supply?

Now I perceive.

For the reason that Covid-19 outbreak, I have been tempted to interrupt the taboo. The reason being after all as a result of my earnings has decreased drastically if I solely depend on shuttles. Lastly, out of necessity, I dared to simply accept my first go-food order. At the moment there have been completely no passengers from morning till midday, so I could not assist however do it. As a substitute of no earnings in any respect, proper?

Nonetheless, only a spoiler, I instantly regretted it.

At the moment there was a passenger whose home was near the put up the place I frolicked with my associates, fellow Gojek drivers.

“Soto Pak Tengkar?” I requested, “Have you learnt the place it’s?”

“Tumben you obtain a go-food order. Often you do not?” commented one in every of my associates.

“Wow, the soup is de facto scrumptious. It is on the finish of the highway. However be ready, the road might be lengthy, as a result of the store could be very busy!” mentioned one other buddy of mine.

It was true, the store was full of holiday makers. Bizarre, I assumed, however it’s an abnormal place. Even like an abnormal road stall. However why is it so fashionable? Is it going viral on social media? Or is their soup actually that scrumptious?

“Sir, one soup, please.” I mentioned.

“Use the appliance, sir?” lyrics of the person with a thick mustache who’s pouring soto sauce right into a bowl. He will need to have seen the inexperienced jacket I used to be sporting. “Is it okay to attend a second? Don’t fret, Mas, I all the time put the Gojek driver first so you do not have to attend too lengthy and may discover extra sustenance.”

“Wow, thanks sir!” this man is so variety and understanding, I assumed. He have to be the proprietor of this restaurant.

“I understand how laborious it’s to generate profits. My store was once very quiet, Mas, however luckily it is promoting properly now.” he mentioned once more.

He additionally saved his promise by prioritizing my order and I additionally delivered it to the client who had ordered it with out lingering.

“Ting!” I heard a notification that I received 5 stars. I additionally returned to the put up and never way back, I received one other go-food order.

“Huh?” I assumed, “Is that this the client from earlier?”

“Why are you ordering once more, ma’am? This is identical order because the earlier one, proper?” My chat is curious.

“Sure, Mas, I felt how the soup was totally different, it wasn’t good. Possibly as a result of it is chilly. Strive shopping for it once more and telling the vendor to maintain it heat. Please ship as quickly as potential.”

“Okay!” however in the course of the journey to the store I could not cease considering. Regardless that I’ve delivered it as quick as potential, how come it is chilly so quick huh? Or was there a seasoning that you simply forgot so as to add so it does not style good? Ugh, I am so curious concerning the style. Subsequent time, I will purchase it myself to really feel the feeling of the soto that is going viral.

“Oh, sir? Again once more?” requested the vendor. Apparently he nonetheless remembers me.

“Sure sir, the order is identical as earlier than. Earlier, my buyer mentioned it did not style good as a result of it was chilly after I received there.”

“Oooooh I see, I do know what the issue is. I will make it once more.” he mentioned with a smile, “Mas simply sit down first.”

“Uh, sir. Really, I have been dying to pee. Is there a bathroom right here that I can use?”

“Oh, it is within the again, Mas!” he pointed, “However please perceive, Mas, if it is messy, it is also referred to as a roadside stall like this.”

“Okay sir, thanks.”

I instantly headed there. That is proper, the store could be very easy. Why did not the daddy repair it and even transfer to a greater and extra spacious place? There are loads of prospects like this, certainly the advantages are additionally many. Why does not his father wish to transfer?

As I used to be about to return to the entrance, I abruptly noticed a small room with a barely ajar door. However what shocked me was the stench emanating from the within.

“Ugh, what’s this odor?” I mentioned whereas overlaying my nostril. I then ventured to peek.

I used to be shocked.

Inside, there was a skinny man with a physique coated in boils sitting. The room was dimly lit, however I might see the ulcers on his physique beginning to ooze blood and pus. There wasn’t even the slightest doubt in my thoughts that this foul stench was coming from that man’s disgusting physique.

However what shocked me extra, the person was soaking his ft in a big pot. There was steam coming from the pot, so I concluded that it have to be heat water, and even scorching water. Why did he do it? Then why is there a person with ulcers like this right here? Does he not take note of the well being and cleanliness of this store in any respect? Are they family members of the store proprietor who he has to take care of whereas he sells?

“Son, the soup is out of soup. Hurry up and take it once more!” heard the store proprietor calling his son.

“Okay, Dad!” A younger man in an apron instantly got here into the room. Seeing him, I sneaked again into the lavatory, however left the door barely ajar so I might nonetheless peek out.

The younger man then took the pot that the person with ulcers had used to soak his ft. Then, he did one thing shocking.

He poured the contents of the pot into his wagon pot. He then scooped it up and served it in bowls as if it have been his soto sauce.

A second.

THAT is the soto sauce.

I coated my mouth to vomit.

“Son,” the person appeared on the lookout for somebody, “Did you see the Gojek driver earlier? Please inform me the order is prepared.”

In order to not be suspected, I instantly received out of the lavatory as if nothing had occurred. However when strolling, my eyes by chance become the cursed room. I stared on the outdated man. His eyes have been white and all his enamel have been black and it appeared rotten.

He smiled, as if glad somebody might see him.

I shuddered in horror and returned to the entrance.

“Oya Mas, earlier he mentioned that the soup was chilly, proper?”

“I … sure sir …” I mentioned stuttering.

“Certainly, Mas, my soup is scrumptious eaten right here when it is heat. However for Mas, in order that you do not get complaints and your efficiency decreases, I am supplying you with further seasoning in order that the style lasts lengthy till it reaches the client.” he then took one thing out of the drawer of his cart. A black mouse that squeaked and wriggled. He took it in his hand as if it have been nothing, then picked up a knife and minimize its tail in entrance of me.

I flinched, particularly because the tail continued to wriggle despite the fact that it was separated from its physique.

“Wow, what sort of meat is that, sir? Cow huh?” requested one of many prospects who noticed him minimize the rat’s tail, “I would like it too, sir!”

“Sorry Mas, this can be a particular particular hehehe.” he mentioned. He then put the tail that was nonetheless transferring into the plastic crammed with the soto sauce I ordered.

“It is Grasp!” he mentioned.

“I … sure, thanks sir …” with a little bit of disgust I settle for it.

Even after I put it on the bike and began driving to my buyer’s home, I might nonetheless really feel the plastic crammed with soto sauce transferring, as if the tail of a dwelling mouse wished to return out.

“Thanks sir.” mentioned the client when he acquired the meals. In reality, in his fingers, the plastic was nonetheless transferring, however he could not see it.

I used to be simply silent in entrance of his home when he closed the gate. My mouth feels numb.

Ought to I inform him, I assumed. Ought to I warn him? However, will he consider me?

“Ting!” the notification sound is again on my app.

I appeared right down to see him. 5 stars, however once more with no tip.

Huh, no ideas.

I rotated and left.
