That morning Merlin approached Gita at her house.
"Where are you ready yet?"
"Udah, just wait for Ustadz Zacky aja," replied Gita continued to stare at his cellphone
"Cie's starting to pedecate," Merlin's tease
"Anyway, that person is a suggestion from you let me be allowed to come," said Gita
"Well, I hope you can get closer with this,"
You don't know Mer, I went to the Gathering to meet Barra. I miss him so much that I always want to see him. I would do anything to meet him. I'm sure he'll come when I'm in danger.
Gita immediately opened her phone when she saw the incoming message notification.
"Assalamualaikum Git, I'm sorry I can't attend the gathering with you because I have to replace Kyai Sodiq to fill the tausiyah to the neighboring village, but you don't worry because after the show is over I will definitely catch up with you, sorry again" Ustadz Zacky said in a short message
"Judah let's go!" take Gita immediately carrying her backpack
"But where's Ustadz Zacky?" ask Merlin
"Later on, he again lectured first in the next village" replied Gita
"No, you can't leave if you're not with Ustadz Zacky, I don't want anything to happen to you. Inget Git, you've often been disturbed by subtle creatures, so I'm afraid if something happens to you later," Suryati said to hold him back
Gita then explained to her mother that Ustadz Zacky would accompany her. He even showed evidence of a short message sent by him.
"Surely Mom I'm not lying, if you don't believe me please call her," Gita assured her mother
But Suryati who was so afraid of something happening with her only daughter was still kekeh forbid Gita to go.
Gita could not force, he was forced to follow the will of the mother and wait until Ustadz Zacky finished tausiah.
"Sorry yes Mer, I can not follow, maybe if my mood has returned I could follow Zacky," said Gita
"Ok, you just go there later I tell the same boss to wait," replied Merlin
When Merlin was about to leave they were surprised by the arrival of Arya who approached them.
"Assalamualaikum everyone, sorry I'm late!" exclaim the young man
"What's your call?"
"Oh yes, I first told you the purpose of my arrival here is because of Mas Zacky's request to take his future wife on vacation to Mount Semeru" said the young man
"Cie cie wife-to-be!" merlin Goda
"Astaghfirullah Zacky, there's-there's aja you use send everyone to take care of me,"
"Yes Allah so very sweet Mas Ustadz, he is very attentive to my son, hopefully this is the sweet beginning of the beginning of their relationship" said Suryati so happy
"Benefit Budhe, he was so romantic that he sent his bodyguard to keep the Gita, exactly rich in romance novels," continued Merlin
"That's right, the handsome gini period is said to be a bodyguard," said Arya
"Lo does not look like Bodyguard Sep, I think you are better suited to be a tile than a bodyguard!" gita's Cibir
"Sue lo Git!"
"Mas Asep, please pick Gita yes, take care of her so as not to be disturbed demit," said Suryati
"God willing, Mom,"
"Kok Insha Allah the Great?"
"And I can't make your promise, Mom, so God willing, but I'll try,"
"Ok, then I'll let Gita go because there's Mas Asep, monggo enjoy your holiday, happy,"
Gita says goodbye to Suryati and leaves the woman alone in her home.
After traveling long enough, Merlin stopped his car in front of a motel.
A big bus was waiting for him.
"So they're staying here?" ask Gita
Merlin then takes Gita down.
"Wake up!" gita's Exclamation woke Arya up
Arya immediately opened her eyes and looked around her.
"Udah let's go down" Gita asked
"Patience dong Neng, wait for me to feed my life first" said Arya
"Only on the streets where lives must be collected all," said Gita ketus
"In your heart eaaa" replied Asep
"What the hell Asep can't do,"
"So my boyfriend can't?" ask Merlin
"Can't why not, as long as it's not the second" said Arya
"Aseeek, kuy the road!"
They soon joined the entourage that was waiting for him in the motel yard.
A group leader then checks the number of participants. After making sure everything was gathered, he then invited them to immediately board the Bus and continue the journey to Mount Semeru.
"Because everything is complete, now let's take the bus again to get to the destination immediately,"
It only took four hours to travel they finally arrived at the foot of Mount Semeru. After hearing the briefing from the group leader, everyone immediately rushed to their respective destinations, Ranu Kumbolo.
"Why don't you wait for Zacky's arrival first" Arya said, making Gita stop the steps
"There's you, why wait for him" replied Gita ketus
He then went up to climb. Seeing Gita's attitude that began to suck made Arya immediately pull the woman's hand.
"You think you can meet him at this place??. You will only take your death if you go to the lake without waiting for the arrival of Zacky" said Arya
"Don't Sotoy, Barra will definitely save me if anything happens to me" Gita replied
"But he is still in the law because of you, you should as his wife you better understand his condition instead of adding to his sentence" said Arya
"But didn't you say no supernatural creature would touch me because I'm the wife of prince Gondoruwo, so why am I afraid!" sahut Gita
"That only applies if the mark on your hand is still there" Arya replied again
Gita immediately saw the mark on her hand, and how shocked she was when she saw the mark on her hand had already begun to fade.
"Why did the sign disappear!" exclaim Gita with a panicked face
"Maybe since your agreement is done I don't know very well either, only you know
answer,"
"Is it because we've had your night together, or because Erwin is dead??, but we never made a pact to end our marriage. Why do you know everything about me and Barra, who are you really?" ask Gita.
"I'm Asep Git,"
"Everyone knows that Lo Asep's name, I mean who's that kid?" ask Gita again
"Obviously it was my father's son,"
"Ish really nyebelin, yes I know that lo is the son of your father's mother, meaning your identity is loh who, are you a shaman who is disguised, or a demit who is disguised?" ask Gita again
"Oh if that, nothing really.
What is clear is that I am Asep, a child who is fascinated by hobbies that change every day, and my ideals want to be the ustadz in Gandrungi women, especially the children of officials or ministers, and my goals are, that's my real identity" Arya replied
"Basic sarap!" gita then hurried to leave her
Seeing the escaped Gita makes Arya immediately run after him.
"Oi wait!" arya shouted back to hold the girl's steps.
"Well, if you insist on seeing the lake, I will allow it, provided I have to tie your hand with this magic ribbon" Arya said, unbinding it from her hand
"Is this why it smells like jasmine flowers?" tanya Gita scrunched her forehead
"This is a piece of my mother's shroud, I hope this thing can protect you, so never let go" Arya said
"Why should I wear this clenical thing, why don't you protect me, Zacky didn't ask you to accompany me so you should accompany me wherever I go," sahut Gita untied her hand
"Not so, I'm just afraid I can't use my powers here. This place is believed to be the home of the gods, a sacred place that should not be plastered by just anyone, and not everyone can use its power here, do you understand now?" arya
"No," said Gita then changed to hold Arya's arm
You stubborn!
Arya again tied the white rope in Gita's hand.
"Don't let go or I'll leave you here" Arya threatened
"Based on a strange man" replied Gita back up the climb
Long enough both of them climb following the direction of the leader of the group.
After climbing for almost 4 hours, they finally arrived at Ranu Kumbolo. Everyone immediately set up a tent not far from the location of the lake.
When everyone was busy setting up the tent, Arya was busy observing her phone.
Why hasn't Mas Zacky arrived yet, it's late at night, what if he doesn't come??
He was more furious when he saw the full moon began to shine brightly illuminating the lake that looks more beautiful under the moonlight.
