Climbing Mount Slamet

Climbing Mount Slamet
Found Lukman



The night is getting late, but the stage activities held by supernatural beings there are no signs of ending.


"I ... it .. " said Tommy stammered with his index finger toward the dancers. We both looked in the direction that was pointed. There appears a figure very similar to Dance is dancing to the groove of gamelan sound that is tabooed by strange masked anchors. His face that looks pale despite the makeup and also the fancy dancer-style clothes do not reduce the creepy aura of his face.


"The soul of Dance is held back by them" Robby said, making us shudder in horror. How could we not be afraid, the body of Dance may have been buried but her soul could not go quietly. Dance still had to continue to serve the women in red dresses and become slaves for their entertainment. I shed tears, unable to see the fact that my best friend had such a terrible end to life.


"Rob, is it possible that Dance can be set free?" tanyaku.


"Hopefully yes, Jen. We'll try." she replied patting me gently on the shoulder.

A yellowish hue began to emerge from the eastern horizon. Looks like it's starting early in the morning. Somehow, suddenly the dance stage is not visible in front of the eyes. Even in just a very short time once the winking eyes had all vanished without leaving a trace.


We didn't get many leads all day to find Lukman. We were just focused on thinking about the tragic fate of Dance. Even I was more moody considering the things that we both often did together all this time. Our relationship is very close, even we can be considered as an inseparable brother and sister. No tears just flow when remembering beautiful things that we cannot repeat anymore.


"Already, Jen. Don't cry over the departure of Tari. Let him calm down there." wipe Tommy gently on my shoulder. He felt, he must know very well how I feel right now. So did Robby, he stared in the shade at me. I nodded and smiled. I don't want to burden them both. I gently rubbed the shiny green pendant on my neck. I will try and promise to release the still restrained soul of Dance. I want my best friend to go quietly and rest in peace.


"Rob ... Ariston ... " Tommy tapped Tommy's shoulder. His eyes looked in one direction.


"I .. It's Lukman." said Tommy, pointing to a place.


We turned in the direction Tommy pointed. As soon as we get down to see what's going on there. Lukman sat next to the girl in the red dress they saw several times on stage. His face was pale, his eyes empty. There was not even any expression visible from his face


The woman's hand touched Lukman's body. Even his tongue licked Lukman's entire face. With the accompaniment of gamelan music, the woman savored every inch of Lukman's body. Until it arrived on his right cheek, the woman bit and tore Lukman's face with her sharp teeth.


Spontaneously, Robby closed my mouth with his hand. If it were just a little late, my screams would make them know where we are.


Lukman's howling broke the hearts of anyone who heard. The sound of mercy echoed, rumbling filled the entire universe.


Slowly the demonic woman enjoyed the dish before her. Lukman's body twitched, hardened to endure the pain of each bite. While Tari, with her sparkle she still wrapped around her body. Occasionally a small whip drifts into her slender body if she stops moving the body of the item for just a moment.

"Are you okay?" Robby handed me a warm drink. The day is light. It seems I was unconscious when I saw that disgusting scene last night. My stomach contents suddenly revolted, asking for his right to take out the entire contents. I ran, spewing out everything in it. The pain made me cry.


"Already, Jen. We've been trying." Robby approaching.
