Climbing Mount Slamet

Climbing Mount Slamet
A Archway



I looked at the amazement of a building similar to the shape of a gate. The enormous archway on the right and left sides formed a door. More like the so-called gate. Like the royal gates on soap operas that you often see on tv.


Like a thief who was afraid of being caught by the owner of the house, I walked around and approached the gate. I leaned back and tried to see what was behind there.


Pock


I tiptoed when someone patted me on the shoulder. When my eyes saw who was standing there, it made my mouth unable to utter a word. My mouth is open, and my eyes cannot blink. My body is limp, lunglai feels boneless. I collapsed, fortunately my body was still supported on the gate wall. So that it can prevent me and I don't fall to the ground. Lukman and Tari are on either side of the archway. Strangely I did not see the two of them when they had not reached this place. The two of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shocked me like this.


"T-Dari." My tongue was confused when I said that name. I know very well where Dance is right now. And now, my best friend is standing right in front of me with her same smile.


"T-Dari, is this really you?" I retreated, my body leaning against the wall of the archway. Dance approached, grabbed my hand and held it.


"It's me, Jen. Your best friend." she replied as she continued to hold my hand. The frightened me was not at all wrinkled and only fell silent as Tari clasped tightly onto my hand.


"Jen, I'm sorry, yeah. Because of me, you're so hard." said Tari and wanted to grab me into her arms. I refused, with a feeling of fear I chose to crouch down and lean back.


"Jenna, I'm sorry for us." Lukman walked closer. His face was pale, somewhat damaged because of the visible wounds on his face. At first glance I remember the incident where Lukman was being preyed upon by a female demon in a red dress. But at that time Lukman's face was completely destroyed. Even the wound on his face was spewing fresh blood and the woman immediately drank it to the end.


"If you're sorry, let me go back and go home." I replied in a raucous tone. I hope this time I can really go home. And I hope Lukman and Tari can help me get out of this godforsaken place.


"We will help you, on condition that you forgive us, Jen" Lukman said. I, who was afraid of his figure, chose to be quiet and not look him in the face.


"Well-well. I forgive you guys. But how can I go home and get out of this place." I replied as I continued to throw my face.


"You guys, why don't you just get out of here?" I kept closing my eyes and closing my ears.


"Chihui...Jen, I'm like this because of you." Dance walk around. I could only look down and close my ears. As much as possible I did not hear any obscure ramblings from them.


"Jenna, I'm sorry I took Lukman from you." again, I just listened to what Tari said. At least I don't intend to answer. While Lukman, he stood back up as Tari pulled his arm. I try not to rub it. Eventually the sound disappeared on its own.


I took a long breath. How could a friend and also a man that I had estimated could end tragically like that. What did Tari mean to take Lukman from me. As for him, he became a victim and died unnaturally.


The sun felt so stinging. There are no trees around the gate. Different from the place before I walked here. All the forests and the big trees. I sip the remains of the water in the bottle. But it seems everything is empty.


"I'd better try to find some water around here."


I went and tried to get inside the gate. It doesn't look anything there. Even this gate is apparently only an old building. Behind it there is nothing but an empty and steep expanse of land. Like empty land due to fire.


"Aaarrkkk.." My body fell, mired in a deep hole. I don't know who made this hole here. Like a hole for irrigation. It is shaped like a tunnel. I tried to follow to one side, hoping to find a spring at the other end.


I smiled when I saw a place that seemed familiar to me. A place I've been to before. I tried to get out of the hole by holding onto the roots of the weeds. The grass is very strong and strong.


"That, that. Please-in. Who is it." a faint voice sounded before I finally fell asleep and was unconscious.
