Climbing Mount Slamet

Climbing Mount Slamet
Death Dance



"Roberts"


"Jen"


We called each other in unison after being silent for a long time. The atmosphere of the camp is still crowded. Dance was already aware of her stings. But his condition looks appalling. He daydreams a lot and does not connect when in communication. I don't know what really happened. Dance like she's not her usual self. This time he always looked gloomy and dreamy. His eyes were blank and only wanted to do something if asked. We were all confused, whether what demon had possessed the soul of Dance. Tommy faithfully accompanies the existence of Dance. Though he's more of a prankster than the rest of us, Tommy cares about his friends the most. Lukman, I don't know. He seems busy to himself. He often disappears for a variety of reasons.


"You were the story, Jen." asked Robby. I also nodded slowly.


"Tari and Lukman .. "I cannot continue my words. Like a cavity in my chest. Couldn't help it if I had to tell the disgrace I saw the other day at the inn.


"What's wrong with them, Jen? Please tell me what you know." said Robby expectantly.


"They .. fornicate." I said after thinking long enough to launch the word. Robby's eyes opened wide as if he couldn't believe what I was saying.


"What's? You know where it's coming from?" tanyanya could not believe it.


"It's up to you to believe it or not. But that's the truth." I said again with a little emphasis. For a moment Robby was silent. His face looked riled up, I occasionally saw him wiping his face rough and ruffling his own hair.


"No, I don't mean it like that, Jen" she said later.


"Then?" I don't know why I get emotional. He asked me to tell him what I knew, but he glared at me as if he could not believe my words.


"How do you know they're doing that?" ask Robby later.


"I saw it for myself." I answered briefly.


"A ... what? by when? where's the?" ask Robby.


"Ish .. yesterday was still at the inn. I didn't find any Dance in the room, and then I went out and heard and saw them doing it in the living room" I replied at length. Immediately I stood up and intended to leave Robby.


"Tu .. wait. Where are you going?" asked Robby while holding my wrist.


"I've told you what I know. Now it's our turn to get in trouble for the actions of both of them." I said with a rude breath.


"Aarrhggghhh ... " Robby looks so frustrated. Sure, I am too.


"Jen, Rob. Dance is gone." Tommy suddenly told us something that made us stand in unison.


"How come? Wasn't she just like you?" robby asked in surprise.


"Yes, but I'm gonna grab a drink to let him know he's not in the tent" Tommy said in a panic. We rushed to find the whereabouts of Dance.


"Where's Lukman?" robby asked, looking upset. Tommy just shrugged both shoulders of the unknown.


"Aaarrrrgghhh .. where else is that person." Robby looked furious and furious.


"Just let's find a dance. Don't care about Lukman. Later also back alone." said I'm not less furious. How I didn't get mad. Lukman has often disappeared from all of us, let alone moments of such precariousness.


"For a moment" I said before moving on. Robby and Tommy looked at each other.


"Why the hell, Jen." Tommy grumbling. Robby's forehead is wrinkled.


"It's also what Jenna said. What do you think, Rob?" Tommy nudges Robby's shoulders looking dreamy and thinking of something. Then he just nodded.


"How should we go?" my many.


"We'll find out where the dance is first. Usually not long ago Lukman will also appear." said Robby followed by a nod of the head by Tommy. But not with me. I doubt that this time Dance will be okay.


"You sure?" many doubt.


"Well, how else should we be?" robby asked as if she was unsure of what he said.


"Bro. Quickly come with us." Suddenly there came two men I'd seen before. Yes, they were other camp members who helped carry Tari's body this morning when they found us.


"What's wrong?" ask us in unison.


"Udah come on. It concerns your friends." he said, then made us hurry up and follow them from behind. We walked in a row with anxious and mixed feelings.


"Where?" ask me impatiently.


"A little while" said one of them. My feelings were already filled with all sorts of bad thoughts about to happen. I saw a crowd of several other climbers on a ledge.


"That." they said.


Me and my two friends followed the two men's lead. The three of us looked down, a place where many people saw and pointed at something.


"Oh my God." I'm the face. Robby seemed to be aware of what I was doing. He grabbed my body and slapped my face in the chest of his field. I can't look down. But I've already seen. Dance's body was stretched out there with a pointy twig stuck in her chest. His eyes were glaring as if they were going out of place. There are several SAR teams trying to get Tari's body out of the ravine. Somehow Dance got to the bottom of such a ravine. Though clearly the location of the camp with this ravine is too far. What else is the location is so dangerous like this. There were whispers from some of the other camp members.


I can't stop the tears that just keep melting. Robby and Tommy took turns to calm me down. Fear mixed with the loss of friends who from childhood have been accustomed to being together, now he has to find his death in such a terrible way.


After taking a long time and a difficult process, the body finally managed to lift Dance. I saw a woman's face in a red dress grinning not far from Dance's body. Again my crying cannot be contained. I was getting hysterical when I saw the woman approaching and trying to tear Dance's body apart. I really can't see it. Strangely everyone who was here did not seem to see that figure. It's just me.


"Rob." call me shrewd.


"I see, Jen." she answered with a serious face. I'm getting sobbing.


"That's it. It's not your fault" he said.


Dance's body was immediately taken by the SAR team members to take home. We still have to find Lukman.


"You'd better come with them home, Jen." asked Robby.


"No. I have to help uncover everything." I said.


I decided to stay at the top, wait until Lukman comes back or is found. Dance's body was carried by medics and police. I informed Tari's parents by phone and apologized for not being able to accompany Tari home.


"I'm sorry Jena, Mom, sir. If we knew it would be like this, Jena would have forbidden Taru to continue with this plan."


Although they do not blame, the guilt remains.
