Climbing Mount Slamet

Meet Grandma Guard

The sun is rising. While the throat feels more dry and sticky because it does not enter the slightest water. Half a day I walked to the right, but there was no sign that I would survive. There is even a thickening of the wilderness.

"Damn it, why am I following such an obscure clue as to where it came from." I grumbled to myself. My calf feels hot and like it's coming off. But to return I am also impossible. Besides being so far away I walked, there was still a possibility that I would be reunited with the settlement owned by the woman who yesterday took me to her house and her neighbors.

"Hiii.." my hair stood up as I remembered the events of that night. As the man with the pale face took out and sipped voraciously every piece of meat from the beast he was carrying. As well as the carcasses of animals that have rotted neatly presented in a wooden cabinet. What happens when it all goes into my stomach. Imagining all of that made my head suddenly feel so dizzy.

"Corn ... Jena's... Awake, come. Don'tstop. In a minute." The woman's voice woke me up again. I who did not realize when to fall asleep now suddenly woke up, my energy felt filled again. Although the body feels very tired, but the hope of survival that forces me to wake up and rise again.

"Aaarrggg... Do I really have to follow that voice?" i grumble. But I kept my feet up to move forward. Until at the end,

Urruuuggghhh ...

The vision was dark and I felt nothing anymore. My body collapsed, hitting something hard down there. The pain of impact I can no longer feel. I slept, not knowing how long. Until the scent of something pierced my nose, forcing me to open both eyes.

"Jen... You realize? Jena, you hear me?" a gentle pat on the right cheek helped make me quickly realize what was happening. I woke up, there was no one around, deserted. I cried, honestly, I was scared.

"Son. Why alone?" a voice made me stop my crying.

"Si ... who?" I looked back and forth, there was no one. Until my sight ended at a corner under the tree. A small stall looks simple, with someone standing there. An old woman, with a hair on her head.

I'd let go if he wasn't human either. I'm desperate. I wish I could find help at a time like this.

I stood up, trying to walk up to the woman.

"Miss, where is this?" tanyaku lirih and stammering. The woman smiled gently. Face shaded. Makes me feel a little calm finding someone I wish could help me with.

"Drink." the woman offered a glass of warm water. Doubtful, of course I hesitated to accept it. What if he's not human. And the water I drink?

"Ah, whatever. I just need intake to recover energy." My inner self sipped water in a glass. Immediately my strength recovered. My face feels fresh, and excited.

"Sir, I have no money to pay" I explained when I saw the grandmother looking at me with her smile.

"I mean grandma? Grandma used to meet people who didn't have money like me?"

The woman nodded.

"How long have you been lost, Nduk?" ask her.

"I don't know, Grandma. But it seems to be three days." I replied doubtfully.

I'm telling you where I got here from the beginning. Grandma just nodded and listened to my story. Sometimes also chimed with advice and small talk made me a little forget the tiredness that I did not feel so.

"Try, Grandma, look at your feet first." the door stunned me.

"Huh?"

"Say yesterday was given medicine with a strange herb and tied up? Let grandma see for a moment" he said repeating. I stretched out my right leg and apologized repeatedly for feeling disrespectful when I stuck my leg out at him.

"Look, Nduk." the Grandma showed me my legs that had been opened by him. The cloth that tightly wrapped my ankles was pulled and shown to me.

"Ta.. The rope is."

Grandma was smiling.

"It's okay. He just wanted to help." Grandma said as she cleaned the rest of the potion stuck to her feet.

"But why have to be with a pocong rope like this huh, Grandma?" my many.

"Hehehe... Then what kind of rope?" grandma's giggling laughter made me laugh. I can't imagine for a few days that my legs were tied to a rope belonging to a pocong.

"Hhiiii.." Just thinking about it made me shudder in horror.
