“I don't know for sure. But it feels like someone pushed me from behind.” Friska said.

All quiet. Krisna watched Jeny's face begin to sweat. All eyes were also watching Jeny. Krisna actually did not want to accuse, but her suspicion was only on Jeny.

“You're the one pushing?” krisna looked at Jeny.

“Why do you accuse me?” Jeny asked back.

“Little children also know you are the most suspect in this case.” said Erik.

Chris waited for Jeny's answer. Jeny was silent. Still, he won't confess. Krisna was tired of waiting for Jeny to confess. Throughout the journey he remained silent.

“Udah brother. Rice is already porridge. Don't let me talk anymore. Said our brother should not worsen the atmosphere.” said Irwan gave a solution.

“True. Thank you.” said Krisna while taking a deep breath so that the anger in her heart was gone.

At about 10:00 they had reached a house under the ravine they had descended. The house was tall and the entire building was made of teak wood. The smile of Krisna's squad expands when he sees one of the seniors there.

“Happy you have arrived at the birth house of W. R. Soepratchem. Next you can log in for half an hour and find the information you need. Then wear this around your neck.” said the senior by giving them still a big green handkerchief.

The house looks simple. It doesn't look like a rich man's house. In front of the house the yard is not wide. While behind the house there is a path that they had passed and in the west of the road there are cliffs that may be ready for landslides if it rains.

In front of the house on the right there is a small building about 80cmx50cm similar to a tile with four pillars. There were puree plants surrounding it. At one of its poles there is an inscription indicating the place is the burial place of the ari-ari/placenta of W. R. Soepratchem.

The six of them put on the handkerchief and entered the house. In the house there are no interesting decorations. But many paper paste on the wall that says about the short history of the Indonesian songwriter Raya.

Friska and Krishna read it carefully. While Erik and Irwan saw the entire contents of the house. Unlike Jeny and Aldi who sit because of tiredness.

“You also read.” said Krisna looked at them.

They slowly stood up and read the writing for a while and moved on to other writing. Suddenly Krishna nudged Friska who was still reading the writing. Both eyes are clashing. However, Friska immediately turned her face away. Krisna was in pain, but she kept quiet and continued reading.

The Indonesian nation has a national anthem titled Indonesia Raya which was created by Wage Rudolf Soepratman or who we often know W. R. Soepratman is a young man who was born in Dukuh Trembelang, Somongari Village, Kaligesing District, Purworejo Regency. The place of his birth has been debated due to differences in opinion from various sources.

Wage was born in Meester Cornelis Jatinegara Jakarta, but since the last quarter century was found and obtained testimony that he was born in Somongari, precisely on Thursday Wage March 19, 1903. His mother was named Siti Senen from the Somongari region, his father was a KNIL Jumeno Kartodikromo soldier from Yogyakarta.

As Jumeno's task force moved around, at a time when there was a family dispute, in an old pregnant state Siti Senen returned to Somongari. At her sister Soprono's house, Siti Senen gave birth to a child named Wage, according to her birthday Thursday Wage. Then about two months later, by bringing her son Siti Senen back to Jatinegara and her son's name is equipped with Soepratman.

After his mother died, Wage followed his older brother, Roekiyem Soepartiyah, who was married to Dutchman Van Eldick. While in Makassar, Wage forged his education including his musical arts talent. At the age of 19, Wage played the violin. Rudolf's name was obtained when he played the drama as Rudolf well and amazed the audience.

And at Konggres Pemuda II in 1928 the song was played accompanying the outbreak of “Sumpah Pemuda”. But when the song was disseminated, in 1929 it was declared banned by the Dutch Colonial government. This is what causes Wage to have to deal with the police. Even around 1935 hunted/chased up to Somongari.

Wage then fell ill and from Bandung he was sent to his brother's house in Surabaya. He finally died on August 17, 1938 and his body was buried in Kampung Kapas Surabaya.

Then his tomb was moved to the street Kenjeran Tambaksari Surabaya and was made the National Monument Pecipta Song Indonesia Raya. For his services Wage was signed by Bintang Mahaputra and the title of National Hero of the Government of Indonesia in 1971 and the song Indonesia Raya was confirmed as the national anthem with government regulation No. 44 Years of 1958.

While in Somongari, there are currently silent witnesses in the form of an ari-ari (placenta) Wage place next to Soprono's house. By the government of Purworejo Regency, this place was proclaimed as the Birthplace Monument (MONTALA).

Half an hour passed. The senior who was on guard earlier told me that time was up. They're out of that house.

“You, why?” the senior asked to see Friska's wound.

“I fell Brother. Missed.” says Friska.

“Can you continue??? If the pain stops here. You guys haven't searched the cave, have you?” ask the senior.

“But Brother. I can still continue kok.” said Friska.

“Iya Brother. We can still continue the journey.” said Krisna as she approached Friska and Erik.

“Oh yes. You're the leader, right? Do not let any member fall again. Being a leader is a heavy responsibility. It is not easy to stop a lot of people, but at least try to be better.” said the senior.

“Iya Brother. I will try.” said Krisna.

They also continued their journey. This time they went up the hill and headed east. The path they walked continued to rise. Krisna invited them to sit under a tree that was quite shady.

While walking, Krisna continued to reflect on what her senior had said earlier. He increasingly regretted mixing personal affairs with activities like this. He also realized that this was all his fault.

“Friska,, how are you doing?” krisna asked him to try to fix everything.

“Can be seen right? Just fine. I was just aja.” said Jeny.

“Iya right Jeny said. The more you ask me, the more upset Jeny is. So that's it, I can take care of everything myself.” said Friska ketus.

Not that their relationship is getting better, but it's getting worse. Krisna patted his eel, not knowing what to do.

“I failed.” murmured Krisna.
