Climbing Mount Slamet

Setiba At Home

I was found a week ago. During that week, many rituals were performed by local village elders. Likewise, many through the help of kyai who help pray and try to restore my sanity lost due to being lost in other realms for three weeks. It was a shock when Mama and the people around me told me how long I had been missing. That long? While I felt for only three days I walked, hanging to and fro looking for a way out that I never found.

Slowly Mama and Robby tell me what really happened. From the beginning we left until I was found.

"Ja-so, Tommy?" Robby nodded. Hearing Robby's story about Tommy made me angry and devastated. How could he sacrifice himself to help me. The black male figure that followed us from the beginning we were intending to descend the mountain to suddenly chase after us, and set the three of us apart. The other climbers didn't even help us. It looks like they were made not to see the three of us to make the three of us confused themselves because they were chased by creatures from other realms. Said Robby, so afraid I ran somewhere without caring about the two of them, Robby and Tommy who were originally still together with me finally separated. I ran and did not look when I called. Even he said I infiltrated the bushes and entered the forest making it difficult for them to find me.

"How's this, Rob?" tommy asked as he was almost desperate to find me. But in fact I was not found for a few days. Robby and Tommy escape the pursuit of the black creature. Surprisingly, it seems that the creature was indeed from the beginning only targeting myself. I was chased to nowhere. Until I finally realized I was separated from Robby and Tommy. At first I thought they just left me. Moreover, what I felt at that time I just fainted from fatigue and suddenly I realized I was alone.

"Then, how did Tommy get fucked?" manya curious. Robby took a deep breath and again threw it away violently.

"At that time, day three. Some people who help search for your whereabouts eventually find a bright spot about your disappearance. Among them there are those who can see and try to find out where you are in more detail. It's just, he said you look just circling in place. But never to get out of that place." hearing Robby's story made me a little reminded of the incident where I had walked far enough and just returned to where I was. To the place where the two big trees in the cryptic post were located.

"Tommy was mired into the abyss, before she yelled calling your name. Though it has been banned by many people, but he said he saw you under the ravine waving to call his name." Robbie continued his story.

"Then, am I really there?" manya curious. Can't wait to hear the continuation of the story that made one of my friends meet his death.

Robby shaking. His face turned grim and looked sad.

"It wasn't you there. Even the prohibition of some people he ignored. Tommy is tired. He wanted to go home and end it all. He wants to find you soon and come back home." Robby continued.

"Then, why would he go down into the abyss if he wanted to go home? While going down the ravine is tantamount to suicide." I asked.

"I don't know either, Jen. Only a few people know what really happened. To be sure, after Tommy saw you he immediately ran and mired into the abyss. Her body was found two days later. Surprisingly, his condition was already severe and rotting." I fell silent. For two days but Tommy's body condition has rotted? A very unreasonable and impossible thing to see from the medical side.

"How's the condition?" my many.

"The whole body blackened. Like he died many days ago. You'll be scared if I tell you everything." Robby tried to stop the story. But not with me, I really want to know clearly the condition of my best friend at the end of his life.

According to Robby, Tommy's eyes were wide open, with his mouth open like a person in a lot of pain. Some of his face was black, some were bluish like bruises. Maybe because of the wound due to hit a hard object when mired into the abyss. The body is in the same condition. In addition to experiencing fractures in some parts, Tommy's body also blackened. The foul smell had also strengthened from within his body.

"Tommy became the victim of the subtle creatures of mountain bouncers. He replaced you and gave himself up. Release you from the pursuit of the supernatural and replace him with himself." I covered my mouth with my palm. Tears flowed so hard to hear the story from Robby. So great was Tommy's sacrifice for me, even willing to give up his own life to save me.

I thought about what happened to us on the mountain. Due to the indecent actions of two people, causing others to feel the pain of unnatural death. Mama tried to persuade me not to think too much about what had happened.

"You rest first, son. Mama's going down." Mom told me. I have now been brought back to Jakarta. We went back to our house and were able to get together with our family.

I nodded, as Mama disappeared from behind the bedroom door. I looked around, seeing the condition of the room that I missed so much. Grabbing a glass frame containing photos of the four of us. Me, Tari, Robby and Tommy, the four of us grew up almost simultaneously. Pain in the chest reappears, while a little memory of events some time ago reappears in the mind. Shadow of Dance and Lukman while in the inn, until the intention of Lukman to harm me while on the mountain, made me feel the pain is very great on my head. I groaned, banging on my own head to reduce the pain arising from within.

"Jenne." A voice called my name. I who was in pain did not make that call.

"Jenna." back the call was heard. I looked around, looking to the source of the voice. There was a woman standing right in front of the door. His face was soft, a few scratches appeared on his face. The skin of his hands and body contained several bruises and bruises. She was crying, looking at me and saying something to me.

"What do you want?" I asked as I continued to hold the still throbbing head.

"I'm sorry, Jen." the woman cried. His hands extended towards me hoping to grab and hold me. I brushed it off, I didn't even care about her being there.

"I'm sorry, Jen. I'm tired, I want to go quietly." said the woman to make me wipe the tears silently.

"Go away. I never held you back." I said indifferently.

That figure didn't leave either. He just stood up and kept looking at me.

"Go away. I don't want to be disturbed." I said making the woman disappear for a moment and went somewhere. I myself again felt a severe and excruciating headache. I roared, shouted and I also tried to hurt myself to shift the pain I was feeling right now.

"Jenna, wake up." My mother came and hugged me. Giving me drugs and trying to make me stop the stupid things I do.
