Silent, silent, silent.
A very supportive atmosphere for fear continued to envelop the hearts of some people who were around Riani. They were all in suspense with thoughts that could no longer think positively of what was happening to Riani tonight.
"Don't stop, keep reading the Quran, "one of the climbers said. He looked back, turning to Nindira and Tri who were holding each other tightly. "You can both help prayer according to each other's beliefs.
Their lips were muddled in fear, both of them could only nod their heads to respond to the foreign man who was helping his friend.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Riani's condition became increasingly.
His body stiffened and stiffened with both eyes wide open, his lips trembling as if he was about to say something.
"Hold on, Ri, you can definitely deal with it, you're human, your degree is higher than he is" the climber said.
A second later, Riani's slightly raised body instantly collapsed. Both wide eyes instantly closed and his slightly opened lips were also closed.
Riani was as if she was asleep.
"Wake him up."
"Rc ... Riani," said Difki while patting Riani's cheek.
After a while both of Riani's eyes slowly opened. It looked like he had just woken up from sleep.
Nindira and Tri poured into the tent, both of them hugging Riani who had just gotten out of her sleep.
With a puzzled look on her face, Riani looked towards Difki and the two other men before her.
"I-i why?"
Nindira released her embrace from Riani's body. "We were possessed, Ri, the person who possessed your body said that you wanted to take him."
Hearing the explanation from Nindira, Riani just scrunched her forehead. "A-what's right?"
"Truly, Ri, that's why we're all here" explained Tri who also let go of his embrace on Riani's body.
"Te-continue them-"
"Those who help us, Ri," explained Difki, cutting Riani's words.
Meanwhile, one of the climbers who had most instruction smiled. "I'm Gio and this is my brother, Rafael." The man next to her smiled as well. "Where are you?"
"Now it feels so tired."
"That rich man, you better rest and go home tomorrow just don't have to continue the journey."
"But-"
"What did he say, Ri," Nindira said.
Riani just nodded her head.
The sound of birds chirping in tandem with the whirring of the wind that hit the leaves in the trees. Riani opened her eyes, she heard the voices of some people joking and laughing.
There was only himself in the tent, he did not see Nindira or Tri next to him.
"You guys are awake? How can I wake up too?" riani asked with a slight annoyance as both of her friends were already outside the tent.
"I was going to wake you up, Ri, but Nindira said. You also slept well so I didn't wake you up" explained Tri who was frying the nuggets the rest of the night. "Udah mateng nih, yuk eat."
"Eat first, Ri, that abis we are ready to go down," said Difki who came out of the tent in different clothes from yesterday.
Riani did not see the sunrise like she had seen on her laptop's glass screen before. A disappointment that he dwells in the heart, he fails to see the beauty presented by nature.
"We continue the journey, I'm not papa," explained Riani who then feed food into the mouth.
Nindira scrunched her forehead. "Are you really not papa? I'm afraid you'll even be on the way."
"I'm not papa." Riani smiled. "Last night's rest is enough."
"Where, Dif?" nindira asked, her eyes turned towards the man.
"Akumah come on, as long as Riani can take the same responsibility as her words." Difki looked towards Riani. "Where, Ri?"
Riani nodded. "Can."
He breathed a long breath, hoping that his heart would be relieved.
Riani felt bad if she had to go back. Not only himself, even his three friends also had to set aside savings and payday money just to go to the mountain together. Riani did not want to disappoint her friends. On the other hand, Riani also wished she could see the sun sink or the sun rise from a height, she still wanted to remain here.
"It's how we finish eating and continue the journey," said Difki who increasingly eat breakfast the morning.
The journey continued in a slightly changed position. Nindira is still in front of the lead of the journey, behind him there is a new Riani then Tri and Difki still remain in the last row to be a sweeper.
The terrain is getting steeper with slightly covered vegetation. Feet that have begun to lose energy continue to climb dry land because this few weeks of rain rarely falls.
Several times the sound of monkeys was heard, but did not know where they were. The four continued on foot continuing their journey.
There were two strangers in front. They walk down quickly and even occasionally run.
"Eh, you guys .. don't come down?" asked Gio when he was already within about five meters of Riani's entourage.
Nindira who was in the front row shook her head. "Riani's fine, she's also the one who asked us to continue our journey."
"Oh." Gio muttered. His eyes looked towards the back of Nindira, the place where Riani was. "Aren't you papa?"
Riani smiled with bawling breath due to the journey with the steep terrain. "I don't know how to."
"But you have to be careful." Rafael.
"Surely," said Riani.
"If so we go down first, be careful of all of you," said Gio while waving the same thing by Riani's entourage.
The journey continued until finally exactly one o'clock in the fourth afternoon was almost at the top.
The weather was very hot with the sun shining brightly right overhead. There were no more trees, they took shelter behind a rock from the wind that blew fiercely every time the wind came.
"I'm so tired" said Riani, lirih.
His lips were pale and chapped, he was completely deprived of water in the scorching conditions he was in now.
"But the peak is soon, Ri, let's get excited!" Nindira.
It was no longer the slightest spirit in Riani. The hot weather made his head feel dizzy, his eyes were blurry looking at the pebbles he was about to climb, his breathing was heavy as if there was not much oxygen he could breathe.
A second later, it was all dark. Riani could only hear the voices of Nindira, Tri and Difki who kept calling her name. They asked Riani to get up, but even Riani did not have the slightest bit of strength to open her eyes.
"RIANI!!!"
