Painting Images With Light
The Part 10
In accordance with the agreement they had planned last night.
Shortly after he woke up this morning, Bagio who then filled his stomach with breakfast, then rushed to bathe and wait for the arrival of Karenina and Yanto, while sitting on the front porch of his house.
Black coffee powder brewed with boiling water, became a warm body for Bagio who had a cold, because they had to bathe in the morning blind.
Not yet exhausted from the liquid coffee Bagio from the glass, Karenina and Yanto have been seen walking in the yard of the house of Bagio.
Unlike when Karenina photographed Bagio in the paddy field that time, this time it was not just a camera hanging around her neck.
One large bag, and one medium bag, filled Karenina's left and right hands.
So did Yanto who carried a rectangular rectangular shaped object with a size large enough, and a three-legged stick.
"Let me bring the bag, the deck," said Bagio who was about to exchange luggage, with Karenina.
Bagio then handed over a plastic bag containing a change of clothes given by Karenina last night. "Take this with you."
Actually, last night they had a chance to talk, if Karenina wanted to go to the location of the waterfall by using a private car, which she brought when she returned from the city yesterday.
However, according to Bagio, using a four-wheeled motor vehicle is useless, because the vehicle can only be used until at the end of the rural road.
As for reaching the river that became their destination, there was only a path between the lush trees, which could not be traversed by a vehicle as wide as a car.
Thus, the three of them just walk to the location of the waterfall.
After he held the bag that had been carried by Karenina, then Bagio understood why Karenina wanted to use the car to go to the shooting location.
The sizable Karenina bag that Bagio carried with his right hand, felt quite heavy, as if he was carrying rocks inside.
"What's this stuff, deck?" ask Bagio curious.
"Weight huh, bang? ... Right here! I held the other rope," said Karenina, then stretched out one hand to grab one of her bag straps.
"No need, deck. I was just curious about it." Bagio did not give any chance for Karenina to help with carrying the bag.
"That's a photo camera, and the extra equipment" Karenina said.
"I don't know how he's doing there. So, instead of me carrying the wrong camera and not suitable to be used in that place, inevitably, I bring several types of cameras at once," continued Karenina.
"Since when do you like to take pictures?" ask Bagio.
"mrs ... Since I was in elementary school. At first it was just to play around. But, when I entered middle school, my father bought me a professional camera....
... Since then, I have been serious about being a photographer. That's why I majored in photography, in order to become a professional photographer" Karenina replied.
"Nina even has her own photo studio, bang," Yanto said. "Nob if you have parents who are fully supportive, like Karenina's parents."
"Oh yeah, bang! I have never seen anyone else in my home. Old man brother, where?" ask Yanto.
"Both of my parents are dead" replied Bagio.
At that instant, the look on Yanto and Karenina's faces changed drastically.
In fact, Karenina had kicked Yanto in the leg, as if she was unhappy, because of the question Yanto asked Bagio.
"I'm sorry, bang," said Yanto slowly and seemed full of regret.
"It's okay. My parents have been dead since I was in elementary school. So, I'm used to it and don't remember it too much anymore."
Bagio then tried to divert their conversation. "What college did Yanto study?"
"Civil engineering" Yanto replied.
"Hm ... I'm sorry, bang. But, I'm curious. How old is your brother now?" yanto.
"Next month, twenty-three even," answered Bagio.
"Hm ... We're two years apart then. I even twenty-one, a few months ago," said Yanto.
"If Karenina is only twenty years old" continued Yanto.
"Who asked?" Karenina shook her head.
"Indeed, what's the problem if I tell your age?!" Yanto looked insistent on Karenina.
Even so, Karenina still looks calm, and does not necessarily respond to the stubborn style displayed by Yanto.
"Nina is the youngest among us her classmate, bang. But, he is also the one who seems to be successful first" continued Yanto.
"Yanto ...! What are you talking about?!" Again, Karenina seemed to shake her head.
"Do not believe the words of Yanto. I just look lucky, because there's a chance" Karenina said slowly.
"Nina just humbled, bang. Just imagine. We friends are still waiting for pocket money from parents, but Nina already has her own income" said Yanto.
Their conversation while walking, able to make the trip of the three of them not too long felt.
The sound of water falling from a height that had been only vague, could now be heard clearly.
And it seemed, not until ten minutes later, they had arrived at the edge of the river, with abundant clean water flowing down from the top of the cliff.
Karenina and Yanto looked amazed at the place, to the point that Yanto said, "No regrets, walk all the way here."
The place is indeed beautiful, with the surrounding area still beautiful, and has not been exposed to the effects of destructive development.
"Abang changed clothes. I will prepare for the photo shoot next door first" Karenina said.
Karenina pointed to the lower part of the river, where the flowing water that hit the rocks of large size, which looks increasingly swift, to produce foam water is white clean.
Without lingering any longer, Bagio obeyed Karenina's words, and went to change clothes among the trees near the river.
When Bagio came back to where Karenina was standing, the woman seemed unfinished to arrange her work equipment.
Karenina was seen still busy installing something on one of her photo cameras, which were slightly larger in size, when compared to the camera she used to photograph Bagio in the rice field at that time.
While Yanto, it looks fun playing water between the river rocks.
Although Karenina was still busy, she still had time to look at Bagio for a while, as if she was assessing the appearance of Bagio there.
"Riding on that rock!" Karenina, who holds the photo camera with one hand, points to a large kali stone, near where Yanto plays water.
"Yanto! Kidding enough!" Karenina rebukes Yanto, who is still acting childishly in the water. "Take the reflector board ... Now!"
Even with his face pouting, Yanto still wanted to obey Karenina's orders, and immediately went out of the river.
