Iko Trail

5. tree gate

seeing Iko very comfortable sitting under a tree, Koeda finally sat next to Iko.

"where are you from?"

Iko pointed to herself to convince her that the question was for her. Koeda nodded his head.

"gue from bandung."

Koeda scratches his head that does not itch. he increasingly feels strange with Iko. 'actually who the hell is he?' inner Koeda.

"here's a place called bandung.but whatever.I'm more confused!"

"who is confused about doang? I'm also kali!"

gerutu Iko with his Indonesian language.

"what?"

Iko immediately shook her head.a few minutes passed. Iko increasingly felt unable to bear the need to continue to remain silent there.he finally decided to ask Koeda.

"do you know how to get out of here?"

Koeda seemed to think for a moment, looking around like he was looking for something.

"what the hell is it?"

"you found your way in. Here it's outside."

again Iko was astonished by Koeda. 'ah the entrance? my people find their way home and even talk the way in. go where else? rat hole?' Iko felt very anxious to say that, but in fact, she just said it in her heart.

"where did you go?"

"to haruki. this is right in the outside area. have not entered the gate of real life!"

Iko increasingly does not understand.he just nods assuring.maybe God has predestined Koeda to help Iko find a way out.

"let's go in."

take Koeda but, before Koeda takes her in, Koeda stares at Iko's thin body once more.

"wrong-wild?"

Iko covered her body with both hands, she slightly avoided thinking that Koeda would do something strange.

Koeda went to a lower tree whose leaves he could pick. Koeda picked up some leaves and went back to meet Iko.

"stick this on your body!"

"make what?"

because he did not comply, Koeda forced to stick it on Iko's body.

"heh, don't be so rude!"

Koeda did not care about Iko's nagging.he plucked his thumb and index finger in front of Iko. instantly the nightgown Iko wore turned into a shirt shaped like a very wide leaf. the shirt is similar to the model of clothes worn by Koeda. inside the shirt is also like there is a wind that is milling around. feels cool and comfortable to wear.

"waw. cool! teach me dong too."

"ooh! come on in."

Iko was silent to stare. he did not know where to go. in front of him there was only a meadow and a tree that stood firm.

"hey, let's spit it out!"

"where in?"

Koeda pointed at the tree in front of Iko.

"we're going in through there."

Iko furrowed both eyebrows because Koeda had walked ahead, with Iko finally trailing Koeda into the tree.

now Iko and Koeda are standing right in front of the tree that Koeda was referring to.

"this is the only door to haruki. Are you ready?"

Iko gulped her saliva and nodded her head.This is a real girl don't really invite me into a tree? protect your poor servant.' Iko's prayer in your heart.

Koeda clasped Iko's hand and carried her through the tree. Because of fear, Iko closed her eyes.he felt a lot of wind blowing hard.Inwardly, Iko said all the prayers she could.

"hey, uda sampe kali. open his eyes!"

hearing Koeda's orders, Iko slowly opened her eyes. Iko froze as she looked at another strange thing before her eyes.
