Climbing Mount Slamet

Tommy's Sacrifice

My body feels so painful and heavy. But no matter how much I try to move, it feels impossible and futile. Like something was tying me tightly and preventing me from moving.

The sound of teaching is heard by my ears. But when I want to look and see, these eyes are very difficult to open.

"May I be blind?" I was almost frustrated. What the hell, yesterday I got lost and walked here and there alone. Now I have to go blind after getting away and get back to my family.

A hand gently rubbed my forehead and stroked my hair. His hands felt so soft and smooth. Sobs sounded from his mouth.

"Mama." I muttered. Of course Mama didn't hear my voice. I wanted to scream and tell him I was okay.

"Aaaakkkhhh.." I shouted as a liquid that was probably water soaked my entire body. From the tip of the foot, slowly go up to the head. The heat I felt so intensely that every little shower began to wet my skin. I screamed with all my might, but it was in vain. It was still dancing on my body and someone was washing me with water in it. Of course with that floral scent, aaahhh, I don't know. The smell is I don't like.

"Mama, geez, Ma. It's so hot my body." I thrashed, screaming for help. But apparently none of them are pestering. Until finally a woman came to me. And that's where I can first see after being able to return from another world. The figure of the woman I've seen, even I seem to have spoken to her.

"What's this?" I only realized when I saw what the woman was holding in her hand. A very large rope he fastened firmly on my body. It seemed that the woman pulled me by force until she put all her strength into taking me. On the one hand, some people tried to call me. It was not clear who they were calling out to me because the air suddenly fogged up and blocked the view. But from the voice I heard, it seems they're my family and Robby's.

"Mom, let me go. I want to go home." I said as I rebelled, struggling to be released immediately. But apparently the old woman who turned out to be the one who helped me while near the market and tied my ankles with dirt and a pocong rope even more strongly pulled me.

Finally there was an interesting attraction between the old grandmother and also some people who called me. I didn't see her face, only the old woman I saw clearly. Nobody wants to give up. So do I. I don't want to lose this war. I want to go home. I miss everything.

"Let go, Grandma. You can just take me." a voice appeared suddenly from within the fog.

"T-Tommy?" I screamed as Tommy approached the old woman and the woman's hand immediately grabbed her by the neck. But there was no expression on Tommy's face. He just seemed to smile, then told me to go home soon.

"Go home, Jen. Live well." Before the creature disappears with Tommy in his hand. I cried when I saw one of my best friends sacrifice his life for me.

"Tommy. Once you leave in this way. This is not what I want. Come back." I wailed, yelled and cried calling Tommy hoping he'd hear and come back again.

"Jen. Jenna's. Sir, Jenna's shedding tears." I heard a voice I knew it was Mama. I'm sobbing, I miss Mama. But I also want to find Tommy again.

"Jen. You see us?" I saw some people swarming over me. My body wrapped in a rag seemed wet and I was cold. Apparently I've been bathed by some people for what purpose. To be sure, the water that was hot made my body feel almost blistered now even makes me shiver cold.
