MY LOVE IS SHACKLED WITH LIES

Starving

Starving

“Harap kak.” complained Aldi.

“Iya. Food is not. Water is a little. Can die of hunger nih.” said Jeny.

“Kak, let's find food.” said Irwan.

Krishna nodded. Irwan and Erik went to look for her. Suddenly they saw there was a stone guava tree whose fruit was probably only three. Irwan climbed the tree, which is about 3.5 meters high. Erik caught the fruit from below.

“Kak, we can three.” said Irwan girang.

“Let's eat together.” says Krisna.

“I don't want to. The fruit is still very hard so.” said Jeny.

“From hungry Jen.” says Aldi.

“So, you want to eat or not. Maybe you will later find roasted chicken in this forest or even starving.” said Krisna pulled out a knife and split the 3 guavas into two each.

The hard guava is split into two and the color of the flesh is reddish. Jeny just glanced at him. He was hungry at the time, too. But he was ashamed and did not admit it.

Friska, Aldi, Irwan, Erik and Krishna ate it. Jeny just saw them. There is still one part.

“Make me yes Jen.” said Aldi took it.

Jeny just kept her hunger. But he actually prides himself on eating food like that. The six of them continued their journey. The path they went through continued to climb and the sun was increasingly showing itself. The hunger they feel makes the road feel longer.

The land they went through was dry and somewhat wet because the weather that month was uncertain. Actually, that month was already the dry season. I don't know why it sometimes rains.

They passed through a forest covered with mahogany trees. The path they keep going up. The heat they felt at that moment was very runny into the skin. Sometimes on the road they found gutters made of bamboo. It looks like the gutter is the aqueduct of a spring. Sometimes the gutter is clogged with leaves.

When the water in the bottle they carry runs out, they take water from the gutter or from the river they meet. But water alone is not enough to fill their stomachs. Even most drinking water will make them bloated and urinate a lot.

The sweat dripping on their bodies no longer ignored them. But that doesn't happen with Jeny. Jeny always kept up her looks. Especially her face. It turned out that he slipped a small mirror inside of him that was not secured.

“Kak, I'm still hungry.” complained Aldi.

“I know that too. But what else. Look, there is nothing we can eat. You want to eat a stone?” krisna asked with a laugh.

“Yes is not.” Aldi pouting.

“Kak, we have to find food before entering the cave later.” said Friska.

“Search what food?” ask Jeny cynically.

“What are we going to eat in the cave later?” Friska asked back.

“We go first. Later if there is food we kumpulin.” said Krisna mediate before Jeny angry.

Erik looked at the map he was holding. He rubbed his sweat.

“Kak, about 50 meters away we reach the cave.” said Erik later.

“Sgratitude.” Irwan breathed a sigh of relief.

They sped up the pace while looking at the place around looking for food. Ten meters later they arrived at a place on a hill that is overgrown with duwet plants or often called cumin.

The tree is almost like a mango tree and the leaves are like guava leaves but thicker and smoother. Luckily the tree they saw was full of fruit even though there were still many green ones.

“Kak, lots of food.” said Aldi girang.

“Ngak. The fruit is just like wine.” said Irwan supports Aldi.

Friska walked forward and picked the purple fruit and ate it. Everybody saw.

“Heh! Soky kid knows. Why you eat. If ntar poisoning is ngrepotin we know!” jeny said to be snapping at him.

Friska looked at Jeny for a moment. Friska held back her anger towards Jeny. He picked some more fruit.

“This jamblang. The purple ones are ripe, the red ones are half-baked and the green ones are still raw.” Friska said flatly.

“I know. I read.” said Erik approached Friska.

They both picked the ripe fruit and ate it. Krishna saw them cynically.

“Udah do not eat constantly. Let's pick it up and collect it for lunch later.” said Krisna staring intently at Friska.

Friska realized she was being blamed for her behavior. Friska took Erik to a tree that branched a lot. Friska told Erik to go up to the tree. He held a plastic bag downstairs. The rest of the squad gathered fruits that were not very high.

“Rik, chepet dong Metikya! We still got a little nih.” cried Friska from below.

“That's great up here Fris.” said Erik.

Apparently Erik climbed too high just to see the scenery. Friska could not wait for Erik who was sitting casually on top of the tree. Friska climbed up the tree.

“Where is a beautiful sight?” friska asked after reaching the tree.

“Friska!” erik shouted in shock until he almost fell.

“Why?” asked Friska who was picking the fruit.

“You can climb? What kind of hands are you? It's just coming down. Later sick.”tanya Erik.

“Nothing. Can hold. I was curious when you said the view was good.” said Friska.

Friska just smiled. Friska then looked around from above. Aldi and Irwan are on the right. They want to climb trees. While Krisna and Jeny pick fruit that is not too high. Friska looked far south.

“Rik, right you said. It's really beautiful. We can see the cities, the rice paddies and then the beach with its blue water. The southern coastline looks beautiful from up there and the Sermo reservoir in Kulon Progo is visible.” said Friska.

“Crue? But you are careful yes.” said Erik.

Chris looked at them with annoyance. In his heart, he was extremely envious of Erik who could be that close to Friska. Why are they so familiar? Does Erik and Friska have more feelings.

“Fris, you're down now. Girls downstairs only. Fear will fall.” said Krisna.

“Nmobile. I'm fine aja.” said Friska flat,

Friska looked for a rather comfortable trunk and sat down. He plucked a palm and ate it while enjoying the scenery. The gentle breeze brought him to the memories of the past.

“Let's go again. I'm bored here.” said Jeny.

“OK. okay. Everything went down and prepared to continue the journey.” said Krisna.

Some of them started to come down. Suddenly Friska looked towards the south which was closer to their location. Suddenly Friska panicked.

“All! Quickly up the tree again. Another 10 minutes *** the forest will pass!” yell Friska hard.

Everyone looked at Friska. Aldi and Irwan climbed higher.
