Crying Under the Moonlight (Step Climbing)

Dead Forest

But the white starling suddenly returned again with his army of black starlings, they perched on a tree that surrounded these 3 young men "ehhh see that white starling back again" he said as he pointed towards his jaw.

They looked directly at the direction pointed by the dirwan, and the white starling descended directly in front of andre and turned into a middle-aged male figure wearing a white robe and a white headband,but can only be seen by Andre alone .

"what is your purpose for this mountain ?" asked the white-robed figure while staring intently at andre, but andre calmly replied "me and my friends just want to enjoy nature and be grateful for this healthy pleasure" he said politely.

after andre answered the question of the white-robed figure asked again "i am the guardian of the region here, you do not mess around on this mountain, and the bird from below is my messenger to watch over you" he said

andre was confused why he was being watched but he kept thinking positively "owh that is mbah, I will not macem-mok, I am here also because there is an inner invitation from someone" he said andre while humbling his head humbly.

Then the white-robed figure was amazed that no one had ever had this noble goal "It turns out to be true what my lower back said about you,I believe in you but you should not be incited by other beings" he said

andre just nodded with a smile, but a moment later the white-robed figure suddenly fell down to sit like a soldier and he said "sorry prabu why the prabu can be with this child ?" asked the white-robed figure who did not dare to raise his head.

"this is my grandson, he is my descendant, he is my successor in the future, if you meet this child I ask you to look after him "he said the prabu

The white-robed figure was stiff and trembling as the prabu spoke and he replied "yes the prabu, I apologize if I have been presumptuous and sent my subordinates to watch over them " bowed and bowed

the prabu just smiled and disappeared slowly from behind andre.The white-robed figure also disappeared, but Dirwan and revelation saw the bird fly away from before them.

what Andre felt was a very long conversation but in fact just a blink of an eye, both of his friends did not realize what you just did.

Krucuukkk..kruucukkk , the sound of a rumbling stomach, the source of the sound is heard from the belly of Revelation.

"Duhh what sound, kya the sound of thunder" said Dirwan while laughing

"sssuutttt I laper tau, we have walked this far" he said while holding his stomach

Because the next post is near, they decided to travel back "already later in the front post we just eat it" Andre said,

they immediately rushed to the next post, because it was visible from the boundary of the dead forest.

Not to forget also the black starling bird that always leads them in front as a guide..

They have been climbing for 5 days, which was initially only 3 days, but during the trip, their logistics supplies never reduced and increased, a small example of water that has been used is suddenly filled to the full again as before,.

Not long later we continued the climb and finally around 17:30 until Post 6 Pesanggrahan which is where we camped. As usual we immediately set up a tent, cook dinner and chat while enjoying black coffee in the cold air that reaches 10 drajat.

After dinner together we start getting ready to rest because we plan to start the summit around 2 am. In the camp area Post 6 itself there are only a few groups of climbers who can be counted fingers. It makes us at that time have to camp up a little from post 6 on a rather airy land on the edge of the climbing path that only fit about 7 tents only.

The night sky was getting darker and the sound of strong winds hitting the trees was so gripping.

At midnight suddenly there was the sound of Bagas sniffing near our tent. Out of shock andre immediately awakens the revelation and says "there's a pig outside". While watching the fear of Bagas sitting the tent, Lucky Bagas just passing by and not nyerang our tent.

Here they are a little relieved to be able to meet other climbers, but not calm here often a lot of bagas that roam, before him when in the basecamp, ,ranger said "if you guys ngcamp in post 6, he said,trash or just hang it up" he said

no one remembers that message.

Revelations returned to sleep and andre also fell while watching, not long after they both fell asleep too tired.

And finally at 2 o'clock arrived andre tried to wake up dirwan and revelation but they were very difficult to wake up. Maybe because the effect of the temperature outside is so cold accompanied by the sound of strong winds that are gripping. The edges just woke up at 3 o'clock even because of the revelation kebelet peeing "wan wake up wan, I pee yuk " pat the body of the dirwan who is still sleeping. But Dirwan just opened his eyes and turned to sleep again .

revelation also woke up andre "dre wake up, anterin I pee yuk" but before the revelation of andre's body, he woke up first because of pee keblet too..

"just want me to wake up, I pee yuk", he said to invite andre

"yukk I also want to pee kebelet terribly" he said while waking up.

the two of them went out the tent, when out of the tent they looked at the tent next to it which still had 3 tents but like there was no one in it.

andre and Revelations went to the front of the tent, looking for a safe pee spot.

after they finished peeing did not immediately go back to sleep because the time was 2.30 am, those who intend to summit and wake the dirwan "wan woke up summit ayokk" said the revelation

it does not take long to get up and out of the tent . "before the summit we make breakfast first, bikin instant noodles only practical" said andre while preparing equipment and instant noodles.

When andre was cooking instant noodles, the grandfather came in his subconscious and said "cu later you will meet a woman, but you do not obey what he said" he warned

"yes, I will also pass the cake to my friend" answered Andre in his heart.

Instant noodles are ready to be eaten, while eating instant noodles andre told his friend "later if you meet girls, just be sure, pkonya do not say hello or anything" he said andre

revelation also greeted him "yes, yes, calm down" he said while devouring noodles

Noodles that are so hot feel cold when eating, given the temperature conditions of 10 degrees with an altitude of 2500s, even hot water was immediately cold like ice water.

After all was up and cleaned up the equipment for fear there was Bagas who broke the tent..

and they set out for the summit with enough supplies to relax on top of the peak..
