(Missed ) In Nakampe Ivory Village

CHAPTERS I

"Here you go, ready to go Cel ?"

ask Bella.

"It has. Wait for the others, please,

they're not here yet, are they, Bel ?"

"Lost wait for Pedro, Ikbal, to,

Parto and Akhmad. Those cute guys must be late when the car is snapping

we're coming," Yulia chimed in.

"Trus, Joan ?" my many.

"Tuh, again eat," said Hudi

while pointing at Joan who was sitting casually in the warteg not far from the place

we stand.

I smiled at Joan

even though he eats a lot, his body still cannot be fat. Not that, he

deworming or what, but already his athletic stature like the Cast of Characters

the ever popular Xena Warrior Princess series was aired by one of the

private tv station. Joan's body looks like Lucy Lawless.

When I looked at him, by chance

our eyes meet. He smiled, waved his hand

call me, "Hey, Cella. Come here,"

I went to him immediately and

my eyes were fixed on a plate containing 2 pieces of tripe meat, eggs, vegetables and

sambal fried beans, tempeh and chickpeas that still reflect thin smoke

making the worms in my stomach turn. After waking up, shower and prepare

myself to go KKN to the next city, I have not stuck at all

my stomach is a piece of bread with butter and milk prepared

by Madam Sus from half-five this morning.

"You haven't eaten, have you.

I happened to order your favorite side dishes and drinks. Come on, eat

together with me. They have been offered, however, refuse to fear vomiting.

on the street he said. Come, fetch. Don't worry. I already paid

everyone," said Joan as she thrust out a plate and spoon.

"Thank you, Joan.

I woke up not having time to eat," I said while taking rice and

side dishes provided in the table bag. We both ate very well.

***

We were on a rollercoaster ride

cars that we drive at high speed pass through roads that are not

flat, holes here and there, sharp turns while on the right is

the wall of the mountain that at any time can landslide while on the left of the ravine

the deep gaping. Even though we were scared to death, we were at once amazed

with the charm of the natural scenery presented before our eyes.

Bella warned me repeatedly

Dadung, the driver of the car to reduce speed when passing through sharp corners and

downhill road. "Quiet, only, non. I've experienced passing.

the streets are like this" said Mr. Dadung.

The streets are getting sharp, though,

the 5-headed driver immediately turned, the road down, ahead of him

a truck drove in the opposite direction, we all gasped to the right

the cliff, to the left of the ravine in front of the truck, even though Mr. Dadung is an expert

in driving a car but can not shy away from giant vehicles

those. Mr. Dadung chose to cross the lip of the ravine.

The wheels of the car are too thin for

grinding down the narrow streets on the brink for a moment we held our breath

hoping not to fall into the abyss, however, the road was fragile and our car

leaning to the left until the end....

The car rolled around, all of us

hold on to whatever we can hold onto to hold back so we don't

thrown out, there was nothing we could do but scream and cry

until finally our eyes darkened, before my eyes closed I had time

seeing shadow figures coming and sounding...

"Push on, they just

minor injuries and concussions did not die, but the driver was squashed

the body of his life car can't be saved anymore, we have to help him

out,"

I am so grateful to hear it, though,

at least my friends survived. After that my eyes were twitching, then,

my body went limp due to the unbearable pain in my right temple.

***

When I opened my eyes, I found my body

lying in a soft bed, and smelling a pungent fragrance mixed

with the aroma of cooking right next to the bed.

"You're conscious ?" an

the woman who sits on the right side of the bed is about 45 years old,

his face looked so friendly, his eyes showed affection and

when we looked at each other, I felt very comfortable, "You fainted for 2

day," he said.

"Where am I, bi ?"

I asked weakly, "Then where are my other friends ?"

"You're in Nakampe village

Ivory. Don't worry, six of your friends, congratulations. The villagers have been

put them in a guest house not far from here. Restore your health

first you can meet them, son," said the woman

it covered me and I heard my stomach making a strange sound. The woman laughed, though,

"Yes, mom almost forgot," he said as he picked up a few pieces

the soy sauce then put it in the closet.

"Because you're not well,

so, here let Bi Midar bribe you," said the woman while

take a plate, fill it with rice and add the soy sauce

still emitting a thin smoke, "This soy sauce meat, is good to eat while

warmly like this. Come on, open your mouth,"

I immediately opened my mouth and tip

the spoon that had been filled with rice and the side dish slowly went inside

my mouth.

"Gosh, it tastes so good. Haven't

I've eaten meat like this, "I cried in my heart.

The woman smiled, "How about,

son, it tastes good, doesn't it ?" tanyakanya.

I nodded, "Enak, bi.

can you tell what the name of this dish is ? And who made it ?" my many.

"Oh, the people in this village love it

once cooking meat limes. Almost everyone in Nakampe Gading village

it can cook it. But, not as good, bi Midar," he said half.

whispering and laughing, "If you want, let Bi Midar teach you,

that's why, get well, yeah, nduk..."

"Of course I would, bi..."

I told him to then Bi Midar back to bribe me. A friendly woman

and good. She's like my late mother who died 13 years ago.

Remembering his affection, unknowingly my eyes glazed over, making a woman who

I called Bi Midar wrong.

"Lho.. you know..

crying, nduk ?" ask her while hurriedly putting down the dishes and wiping

tears that wet my cheeks. This act made me cry even more

until finally he was confused.

"Well, then there's Bi

Midar's wrong, huh ?" tanyakanya.

I shook my head, though,

"No, Bi. I only remember my late mother" I said.

"Oalah." said Bi Midar.

hugging and caressing my hair lovingly, "If

I see, you can think of me as your mother, nduk," he continued.

"Thank you, Bi.." I said

while Bi Midar was back to bribe me, "Take this really

delicious," I said as I continued to chew and chew until finally the plate

in the hands of Bi Midar that was left there are traces of soy sauce, soy sauce,

"You want to add, nduk ?"

tanyakanya.

I'm ashamed to say

"Yes," but my stomach is still in revolt, because it is

some days not filled. BI Midar smiled, then went back to taking and

fill it with the same side dish and then feed me back.

***

When I opened my eyes, I was in the

a fairly large forest. The trees grow around me, and,

his height may be five times that of an adult in general.

Fertile, so lush that sunlight can only leave

lines of silvery white light on the sidelines of twigs and leaves. Illumines

the green grassy streets where I stand.

Partial dew points

soaking leaves and grass, it made me walk in the middle of a diamond

glittered. The path was long and broad, as far as the eye could see

only green grass stretches like a rug. I can't remember

how did you get to this place. However, it is as if moved by

invisible force, makes these feet step. Light as without

load or weight. Stepping down those streets. The road is over

in a small village, could it be the village of Nakampe Gading as it is

told by Bi Midar ? my question is in my heart.

I kept walking until the end

up to 2 pieces of the gate made of natural stone as high as 6 meters. At the

the top of the gate was engraved with a statue of a giant creature. The shape of the statue

it is strange to look like an animal like a buffalo, has 2 iron horns on the right side

the left side of his head, as well as the middle. His eyes wide open, his eyeballs wide

it seemed to come out and emit a burning red light.

The statue is similar to the statue on

the gate on the right. Between the 2 gates was attached a giant banner

15 Meters long at the end is tied by a rope tied to the wrong

one side iron horn statue of the strange and creepy giant creature.

There are a few sentences on

That banner.

"WELCOME TO NAKAMPE VILLAGE

IVORY It takes sacrifice to progress and develop "

Good job, I think. Period

stupid with every slogan, the important thing is that I have to know where I am

being now, how did it get to this place, then where did Joan go

and the other one, why am I alone in this place.

thinking of the millions of questions that ran deep inside me. I keep going

step up and I don't find anyone in this place, even though I've

walking far from the gate it reached this place.

Suddenly, I saw a figure

the middle shadow walked towards the East through the rocky path

far from where I am.

"Hey, wait a minute." I cried.

as hard as possible while running closer. The shadow does not seem to hear

my screams, he kept walking. I was moved to follow him, then,

I decided to pursue him. Suddenly, my footsteps stopped in front of me

suddenly there appeared a man who, to me, was very familiar with the Pedro,

tall skinny and his skin dark, who is he.

"Pedro, where have you been ?!"

my broom.

"Don't chase anymore, Cella

..." he said, "He deliberately lured you in, to go deeper inside

again, then, if that were the case, your soul would be stuck there forever,"

"What are you talking about, dro ? I didn't

understand,"

"This time, trust me,

Cel... You and your friends get out of this damned village, please...

trust me," whined Pedro slowly his body disappeared and

it amazes me, "Dro... Pedro, where are you ? Answer me, dro,"

No answer, my eyes swept

all around I saw was a thicket of bushes. Pedro is not there,

am I hallucinating ? He wasn't just in front of me and why now

lost as if swallowed by the earth.

"Come here, son..."

The voice sounded between the gusts

the wind that swiped the branches and leaves. I looked around, looking

the source of the sound but, there was no one in that place.

"Come here, kid...

come here.we're waiting for you,"

Again. The voice was heard, there was a voice

but there is no form, could I have misheard ? No. gabe. I'm sure there's a voice

who called. I can hear it clearly.

8 Meters ahead there, visible to me

a black shadow, he sat behind me. The strange shadow was wearing

black clothes were tattered, skinny and slightly bent.

"Sir,

where am I now ?" ask me when I'm standing behind

that figure. The figure did not answer, my ears heard the voice of "Kraus...

Kraus... Kraus.." Looks like that guy's eating something.

About eating, me and my friends

easily tempted. Moreover, when looking at someone who is eating voraciously,

making our stomachs very easy to be tempted to enjoy the food.

As for now, I seemed to have walked quite a distance, and

draining all my energy, my stomach is very easy to feel hungry.

"Sir... If I may know where

I am now, "my deuteronomy, this time I ventured to

touching the shoulder of the figure. He looked up, slowly he looked. And...

I screamed, in disbelief

with my eye view. His forehead bone protruded over his pair of small eyes

looking wild in red, having no nose and lip bones, he

grinning showed her rows of sharp and pointed teeth on the

the edges are decorated with red liquid mixed with saliva.

I backed off some follow, temporarily

a pair of my eyes stared at his black fingers again pointy

clutching a bone. Right, between the groin, there's

the pieces of meat were drenched in blood and it was not buffalo meat, a cow

or chicken however, it is a piece of the human body. Apparently, he ate meat

the humans. Lost my appetite, now replaced by a creeping fear

all over my body.

"Luscious and tempting meat...

he..he.he." he said in a creepy voice. It's slowly

standing up, his body was once probably taller than the trees in the

around this place and walk towards me.

I fell down, the creature was getting

it's getting closer, as far as I can get away from it.

The creature opened its mouth

wide, pointed teeth and wet with saliva. I keep going

pulling my body back, backward and backward, when it was a little far away from me

that creature, then I can stand up and run as fast as possible.

However, the land where I stand as if

shaking violently, I don't care, as much as possible stay away and keep moving away.

Until I arrived in a field that is quite large, only for a short time

sighing in relief before finally, the ground I stood on seemed to be slipping

into and my body went into the ground, after which the atmosphere was pitch black,

I don't know which is up, which is down, which is left, which is right. My body is like

glide with speed until....

When I opened my eyes, Bi Midar's face

the pale one was already in front of me, not only him but, Joan, Joan,

Bella, Yulia and the others also looked at me with anxious gazes.

"You're making us worry, man,

Cel..," said Yulia.

"What exactly happened

to make you faint for a long time ?" ask Bella.

"Did I faint again ?"

my many.

"Your body convulsed some

then passed out. Bi Midar was confused and asked us to take care of you

meanwhile, he's the one to check on you" Julia said.

"I'm okay ? Some days

this where have you been ? Then where are Pedro, Ikbal, and Parto ?"

"They disappeared, villagers

it's been looking for him everywhere, but, no news yet,"

answer Hudi.

"We have to go look for him,"

sahutku.

"Yes, we all plan to

seeking them. We won't be able to find him while you're alone

constantly relax in this bed," stressed Hudi.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you

for your attention,"

In Bi Midar's care, my health

he recovered so quickly, in addition to the meat, meat soup, and many other irritants

foreign cuisine that whetted my appetite, Bi Midar also cooked a variety

vegetable variety. All of Bi Midar's cuisine is delicious and nutritious, occasional friends

also stay at the woman's house. All are treated like children, all,

we feel good living there.

***

That night, the village of Nakampe Gading looked

empty, not seeing any residents. It's the third night we stayed

in that village. Bi Midar himself was invisible, usually he sat in the furnace

fire while cooking something. Tonight is so beautiful with the light of the moon

a full moon hung in the sky and stars scattered around it.

Me and my friends sat there

front porch while enjoying the enchanting natural scenery. Because, in

the house where we were born, it is rarely shown such a sight.

Suddenly from a distance there seemed to be a figure

shadow walked over, from his posture, we could recognize who

the shadow's owner. Hudi.

"Eh, Hud.

gathering," said Akhmad, "Your face is pale, why ?"

"Well, we'll talk about it at

in the house alone," said Hudi while inviting us in.

Once inside, he looked

going around making sure no one else is watching. Once it feels safe,

he closed the doors and windows and we were all astonished by this.

"So, when you're coming here...

I passed Mr. Sujar's house. One of the residents came to him, " whispered

Hudi.

"What does this have to do with his pallor

your face ?" ask Julia.

"The arrival of the people, then,

I take it as a matter of course, however, after seeing the two men's facial water, however,

I became suspicious. I'm trying to hear what they're talking about,"

***

"How ? Have you been

doing the job I gave you, Jono ?" ask Mr. Sujar.

"Already, sir.clean and tidy.

None of them knew,"

"We never have been this long

guests from the city. Make sure they feel comfortable and comfortable

lives here. Don't be careless, they are students, of course, facing

they are not as easy as facing SD, Junior High School or High School children. Let's go to the room

prayer, we must negotiate it with other residents," explained Sir

Sujar.

They both walked out of the room, stepping

to the west, there is a large and quite large building, the area

minimal illumination, illuminated only a few lanterns depending on

walls and torches were stuck on the ground.

In the room, even if only

illuminated by torches and lanterns, the atmosphere looks so festive. The villagers

that, both men and women wearing minimal and thin clothes, sat cross-legged

facing a large and terrible statue.

The statue is a creature that

it has 4 horns.2 horns it sticks to the head of the right, left and two

the other horn stuck right on the left and right forehead. Her eyes

red widened, staring at the residents seated before him.

Mouth gaping, revealing a long and pointed row of teeth.

Number of hands 10 pieces, 2 pieces

placed on the chest, 4 hands attached to the left body carrying objects

like swords, spears, trident and mace. 4 other hands, attached to the side

right carry human head, poci/cup, heart and plate. Sculpture color

it was jet black like charcoal, seemingly alive when the light of fire on the lantern and

torchlight ignites.

Shortly thereafter the residents

raising his hands, bowing his body as low as possible, his forehead clinging on

the ground and their mouths hummed a strange song. Also the spells

it contains magical powers, makes Hudi uncomfortable and eventually passes

leave that place.

***

"So, you mean, the residents

this village is a group of demon worshippers?" sahut Akhmad with a tone

somewhat tall, hurriedly Hudi and the others closed the mouths of the haired youth

curly it.

"Take your tone, man,

stupid.." - Joan said, "Your rascals can harm us all, you know,

understand, no ?!"

I was pensive, thinking back to my dream

a few days ago, "It feels like the statue you're talking about is similar

with my dreams, huh?" I said, leaving everyone speechless a thousand languages,

their eyes asked me to tell them.
