Rosa and Kaina's adventure for today starts with getting up early on time, packing up, having breakfast then leaving for the Trans Jakarta bus stop which is quite close to Ruth's contract. Before leaving for work, Ruth made sure well that Kaina memorized the route to Dufan, so that she could leave quietly. It would not be funny if his cousin and his friend were missing in the middle of the dense Capital City which people say is more cruel than stepmother.
Rosa fell asleep on the bus because it was long enough for them to reach their destination. Kaina chooses to read the news on her gadget while occasionally enjoying the scenery outside the glass of the bus. The tall buildings of skyscrapers that he never met in Bandung. Bandung is beautiful, cool, away from excessive heat like in Jakarta. The morning at seven like this Kaina was already sweating. That's why she and Rosa decided to wear white t-shirts - so as not to absorb excess heat - and denim hotpants.
The small backpack contains only a wallet, travelpack tissue, makes up tools, earphones, digital cameras and gadgets. They are also compact to wear simple and lightweight footwear so as not to quickly make the feet tired. Today's gonna be a real holiday!

Kaina's PoV
It's been two years since I last came to this place. Fantasy world. This place hasn't changed much. It's still the same as before. It's just that a lot of his money is growing. The caffeine is also increased. The rest area is now scattered everywhere. So for example if suddenly exhausted when traveling around a certain point, the visitors can immediately rest without having to walk far to a special resting place.
As always, this place is crowded with local and international tourists. Weekdays, weekends and holidays are always crowded. I was lucky to get a discount ticket in this long holiday, because the ticket price will usually be increased by a percentage. Ruth really understood the contents of my wallet and Rosa's.
Beyond a doubt, Rosa who was very passionate, even changed her guts when she saw extreme rides and visitors who shouted hysterically while riding the vehicle. Such as Kora-Kora, Ontang-Anging, Rajawali, Thunderbolt, Hysteria and others. His legs shook as we were already queuing up at the Kora-Kora ride.
"Sir, don't be, kafirt," he said, writhing my arm. I laughed while grinding my teeth. Actually, I am still a little paranoid considering the sensation when I was on top later. I'm actually a phobia of heights. But if you have played here and did not try all the money, it is unfortunate that the tickets that have been purchased are expensive.
"Rose, calm down, not as scary as you have in mind, really," I clasped his fingers. But it doesn't seem to have a good impact.
"That's gonna come off the handle? Up straight is the boat."
I laughed at Rosa's terrified expression. Exactly like before, when I was first invited to ride this same Hans. I am also shaking this.
"Yes will not escape, baby, this is all safe. Relax yaa. Duh, so go with me."
"Don't dong, we're both scared?"
"Eat him, don't be afraid dong. We should have fun today. No time for fear! " I encourage you while raising my fist.
"Spirit!!" he retorted by pretending to be strong. After that I tinker with social media on my phone.
"Dam!" suddenly my shoulder was patted from behind. A bit of shock but I turned my head to the source of the sound.
"Eh, Ray???????"
Ray??
Rayshaka?????
Oh my God, this isn't a dream, is it ??!! My heart surged with joy at the sight of a pair of narrowed eyes and lips that were smiling at me. His hand waved towards me who was 3 people in front of him.
"Just yuk here."
Just here he said? I still haven't recovered from the shock and he called me to stand in line with him there?
"Gua with the cave sister," I replied quietly while pointing at Rosa. I put on a sorry face while smiling sweetly. Ray gave a thumbs up sign of understanding. After that I turned around again.
"Who, Brother?" ask Rosa kepo.
"Rayshak."
"Huh??? Which one is it??" Rosa reflexively turned her head around to look for the figure that spoke to me earlier. I quickly squeezed his fingers, because Ray could still be watching us. He was complaining a little because of the pain.
"Later to play together, too" I said afterwards.
"Ciyeeee, is anyone blushing? "
"Who?"
"Nnnhh ...." Rosa pointed at my cheek with her index finger and she successfully teased me because she knew her conjecture was right.
"Sstttt .. focus, it's soon our turn."
It is time for the next group turn to ride this extreme ride. Rosa and I immediately took a position in the middle. I'd really like to find out where Ray is, but my prestige is incredible. Usually men are not timid, so like to sit on the bench at the end of the boat.
Yet it seems that once again Goddess Fortuna is on my side. He and one of his friends entered my line.
"Hey, you're going to Jakarta? How come you're not saying? Just who are you?"
"Eh, Ros, this is Rayshaka. Ray, it's Rosa, the little brother of the cave."
"Hi Rosa, greetings."
"Greetings, Brother." Rosa smiled shyly. I felt her feet stepping on my feet under the stand. I understand the meaning of that. Yes Ros, she's cute, isn't she?
"Who is the same? Hi, Kaina ...."
"Tito. Nice to meet you Mba Kaina, Rosa."
Tito smiled in a friendly manner. After that I glanced at Ray who was glancing at me as well. His expression was as if to say: cave has not asked for acquaintance, you play serobot only!
"Why you? Watch out for flies, Bro!" I poked her chin hard to break her mangap habit. He chuckled and pushed my index finger away.
"Lu said he was afraid of heights. But is this brave?"
"There's you here, hahaha. Still scared, but at most the cave closed its eyes while holding tightly the same Rosa."
"Just kid! Behind Brother!" protest Rosa grimacing.
As the cue began to sound, I reflexively squealed. It's a habit that I start to feel fear inside. Ray and Tito laughed in shock.
"Rose ... Rosaa, oh no .. "I squeezed Rosa's fingers tightly.
"Kok even become a sister who is afraid of sighh? Aaaa ...." Rosa squealed after the swing began.
"Wooooooo!!" Ray and Tito cheered in excitement.
The second, third, fourth swing was still slow. After that it starts to be firm and crashing.
My stomach is like I want to get out. I closed my eyes with my left hand. My right hand is still holding onto Rosa who is no less afraid of her.
"Woy, how come you're reming anyway? Where's fun??" Ray yelled at me right in the ear. He was nosy! My soul is in my heart.
"Diem you're*ret!!" reply me by not losing hard. He laughed out loud.
"Yahoooo!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!" I think my vocal cords and Rosa's gonna break after this.
Our boat was already approaching a ninety-degree angle when Ray suddenly grabbed my left hand and squeezed it firmly.
"Lu open Kai's eyes! The cave of clutch!"
"Nooooooooo!! "
"Open!!"
In my heart I protested he was forcing for no apparent reason. But because he kept his promise, holding my hand tightly, I ventured to open my eyes slowly.
It's the highest point and I managed to open both my eyes! Seeing everything so beautiful from above in a few moments, then smashed. Rise again, knocked down again. So many times with the same rhythm, I faced without fear!
"Rose, Rosaaaa! Open your eyes! It's a nice viewsssss!"
"Nooo!!! Aaaaaaaa!!!"
I shook his hand until he got angry and opened his eyes. After a few seconds later, his terrified cry was instantly replaced with astonishment.
"Waaawwwwwwww!!" now these two timid girls have conquered their fears.
A few minutes later our session ended. Rosa and I immediately drooped after descending. My knees and my whole body were shaking. Ray and Tito had to lead us down from the ride. Then wait for us to get back in power. I forgot that we just met on this ride, not the group that was on vacation together. Why are they waiting for us? Don't they have their own goals, too?
Rosa and I sat on a wooden bench not far from the ride while occasionally sipping mineral water.
"Here's your hand."
"What's? "
"Na-ngan ...." Ray stood close in front of me. Both of my legs were stretched out under his feet that were slightly wide open. I don't want to stretch out my hands to her. He made a slight stretch by swinging my arms, stomping slowly, twitching the upper arm, patting it
and everything.
"His feet are also swayed, so don't drown. To, you help Rosa stretch, Bro," she added. Rosa is shocked when Ray orders Tito - another man and apparently younger than her - to touch her.
I laughed and hinted to Tito for him to do it carefully.
"You two?" Ray asked me who was getting a little sleepy. Too late for Ray's deadly massage.
"He-em. Are you the same as Tito?"
"Till last night. Native to Jakarta just want to play here."
"What's? Which really you? I don't think there's any work."
"Rosa bro, not the cave. The cave just follow."
"When do you need to go back to Bandung?"
"Delivery plan. Tomorrow there's still business."
"Oh yeah? Where else to play? Yuk-bareng? "
"Well, privacy bro. Can't bring friends," I said the mysterious pretender.
"You want a date, huh? Hayoooo?"
I laugh to answer Ray's guyonan. Hopekupun. But I doubt myself about meeting Hans or not. Whether he was at his house, or going home too, I was confused.
"Road yuk? " after Rosa and I got back in shape, Ray offered to walk together. I don't know if I had a dream last night to be with Ray now. Without office and job frills. Without Ferdi, Fany, Keisha and others. I felt a little more intimate with Ray, forgetting that he already had a girlfriend.

Author's PoV
The four young men ran from one vehicle to another. Kaina and Rosa become braver as two bodyguards accompany them. Rayshaka with his charisma always acts as a protector without having to be asked. Not just for Kaina, Rosa too. For example, there is fatigue, he quickly invites rest first, buy drinking water and stretch like in Kora-Kora before.
Tito becomes accustomed to training his sensibilities like Rayshaka, so he becomes Rosa's protector. Even until familiar, until unwittingly they both separated from Ray and Kaina.
"Woy, where are you?" Ray was forced to call by phone, "oh, yes already, we wait at the rapids, the queue is long because. Okay," Ray turned off the phone.
"Where are they?"
"Again watch the merry-go-round. But otewe here," Ray narrowed his eyes as he smiled. Kaina did not want to miss that moment. He watched Rayshaka's face carefully. Enjoy every charm that is radiated by it. Once satisfied, he was again busy with a cell phone in his hand.
"Lu want to play rafting like this, Bro?" Ray dictates the look of Kaina from top to bottom. He did not hesitate to turn over Kaina's body and saw the shirt was quite laughable.
"What the hell is it ?"
"That's your shirt so thin isn't it ?"
"Belgium!" Kaina doesn't respond too much to Ray. He is still engrossed in glaring at his phone, reading recent updates on his Instagram timeline. It was like he saw something strange on the timeline that was missed and now he is busy scrolling the screen a little down.
"Yee, spelled out even a rayin," Ray landed a small jolt on Kaina's forehead.
"Eh, hang on Ray. Sttt ...." Kaina still did not respond. Instead, pull over Ray's hand while glaring at his phone screen seriously. Sure enough, he saw an update - An Hans. After a long vacuum in cyberspace! And he was also again ... in Dufan???!!
"Oh my God! " Kaina closed her mouth in surprise. His heart immediately thumped. How could so many coincidences today?
"Ray ..." as if to share the panic, he held on to the man.
"Why you?" Ray's confused. Kaina looks paled.
"Oh no ...." Kaina's panicking. His legs trembled, he tried to cover it by moving violently to and fro.
"Heh, why?" Ray tried to hold Kaina's hand.
Unexpectedly, Kaina suddenly ran away leaving Rayshaka.
"China!!" the man who did not know anything so follow panic and run to chase.
The girl ran so fast that she paid no heed to the people she almost hit. Ray shook his head in astonishment, but still followed.
Dense visitors had made Rayshaka lose track of Kaina, until finally he managed to find the figure of the girl on the Hysteria rides. But the girl was not alone, but with a man. Hans Setiawan's.
"You, how are you?" kaina's voice sounded faint.
"We go there yuk ...." Hans is seen pulling Kaina's arm towards the dining area near the ride. Ray watched from a distance.
Kaina and Hans were silent. Both of them are exactly like a couple of lovers who are booming. Then Hans ventured to start a conversation. Kaina looked at him fixedly.
"I don't know where Kai should start. But first I want to apologize ...."
"Tell me, Hans. Wh why? I won't be angry," Kaina's face suddenly softened. When he saw Hans posting a photo with the other woman, he trembled not with anger, but with surprise.
Hans disappeared for months, ignoring him, hanging him up like a madman. Then he just showed off another woman on his social media account that many people can definitely see. Kaina gets more panicked as her brain and feelings cannot go in line to decide what she should do. Between coming over, or letting Hans enjoy his beautiful moment with the woman. When he finally ran to chase after Hans, he decided to ask Hans for an explanation. If they have to finish, they want to finish their relationship well.
"I ... I can't believe anything in our relationship Kai ...." Hans was embarrassed. That honesty sounded painful to Kaina. Bitter, piercing his heart to the deepest bottom. Efforts to survive in the long wait turned out to be futile.
"Why can Hans? Because you have another?" kaina gently touched the back of the man's hand. Uncommanded, her tears dripped. Hans reflexively grabbed onto Kaina's cheek and wiped her tears.
"Don't cry for me Kai. I don't deserve ...."
Kaina just fell silent, relaxing the warmth of Hans' touch on her cheek.
"I miss you Hans" he said. Hans bowed while peeping the back of Kaina's hand he held.
"I'm sorry, Kai. I'm sorry."
The drama continued until their table was approached by a woman and engaged in a chat. Ray can't hear anything. He only read the gestures and faces of the three people.
Ray's phone rang, Tito called and said it was on the rafting. Ray asks them to wait for a while, as he has to wait for Kaina. He's got a bad feeling.
Sure enough, a moment later Hans stood up and hugged Kaina. Kaina again could only cry without a sound. The female newcomer even rubbed Kaina's back gently. After that they left Kaina.
Now Kaina lives alone, sitting while enjoying her drink without intending to get up and leave. Sometimes he rubbed his face with a tissue, checked his phone and then dumbfounded.
Just like that until fifteen minutes passed, Ray still let in while watching. After a long time Ray took his phone and contacted the girl.
"Eh Ray? Sori sori sori sori, the cave kebelet just now, so hurry up and run."
"Oh, cave guess why. Where's lu? Cave near Hysteria !"
"Eh, the cave near there too. Oh, yes," click!
When he saw Kaina clean up, touch up, Rayshaka immediately moved closer to the Hysteria vehicle, then acted as if he was looking for someone.
"Ray!" and Kaina came. The woman walked towards him while putting on a big smile. But it was very clear his face was swollen and his eyes were a little swollen.
"Where the hell are you ? Run like an evil man."
"Muless, the effect was up the Thunderbolt. Yuk, we're going to the rapids, right?"
"No, just go up this."
"What?? Don't want to!!"
"The guests have booked! " Ray paid no heed to the shabby face that was protesting. He turned over Kaina's body and pushed her in full of rebellion.
"Rayyiyyyy!!! Look out for you!! Cave kill lo ntaarrrrrr!!" Kaina screamed as they began to move slowly upwards.
"Yahoooooooooo!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" they were driven up and down at high speed. Kaina screamed to release all the turmoil she felt, hoping that her screams sounded natural like a frightened person. But Ray who was next to him did not stop paying attention and understood the meaning of the shout.
"Rayshakaaaaaa mony*ttttt!!!" kaina's fist shot straight into Ray's stomach as the seatbelt was lifted.
"Awww!!! Sick Kaina!!" Ray grimaced holding his stomach.
"Guass dizzy! Wanna puke! Your responsibilities are not!"
"Yes here," Ray got off the ride seat and bowed in front of Kaina. Make a position ready to hold.
"Just kid!"
"Eh, seriously, he said giddy, just go up."
Kaina blows a hard blow to Ray's head. Rayshaka was once again a victim of Kaina's turmoil.
"Mending lu payin cave boat ride. At Ancol."
"Okay, you buy the cave a meal. Agreed?"
"Ah, you don't want to lose !"
Kaina ends up under Ray's armpits leading her to the rafting trip, where Tito and Rosa are waiting for them.
