Past For Future's

Why Always Thumping?

Still in the same place, but the atmosphere of the basecamp is now increasingly boisterous because one of them is unconscious. Nia who was trying to resuscitate Oliv became panicked. Oliv had not opened his eyes for five minutes.

"Liv, let's get up dong, heyii." Nia continued to pat Oliv on the cheek and smeared eucalyptus oil around Oliv's neck.

the flashback

"I'll follow you wherever you go." A creepy voice whispered in Oliv's ear.

Oliv immediately looked to the right and to the left and looked like no one.

"Yyyyyyyyyy..." Oliv rose from his fall while closing his eyes.

"What's wrong with you, Liv?" ask Nia worriedly.

"No, no, don't bother me-"

bruccous

Oliv collapsed unconscious from shock and his timid soul relapsed. Everyone who was still in the basecamp immediately surrounded Oliv. Eventually Oliv became their main object today.

Flashback off

"It's because of you, Dam. Pake nakutin Oliv event all. How is that going to be?" upset Nia. Adam only grinned while scratching his head that did not itch.

"Make artificial breath, ma'am." One of the climbers.

"No, but I don't know how." Nia scratched her nape. "So, no, no." Nia's proposal was accompanied by her crybaby.

"Hey you, here." Echoes calling one of the female climbers. "Can you please him?" The woman simply nodded enthusiastically then brought her lips closer to Oliv's.

"Woeeeeek woeeek." Oliv was nauseous and conscious from his stings. "Busetttt bauk what's this, woeeek." Oliv keeps nauseous.

"Dissolve it first." Echoes called on the huddled climbers to disperse. "Here's the eucalyptus oil." swore it at Nia.

Gema pours Oliv's hair with the bracelet she wears, then rinses Oliv's sting with eucalyptus oil while gently kneading it.

"Well out there, fullness?" Echoes speak in a subtle tone. "Udah??" Oliv just nodded. Echoes swiftly wiped Oliv's mouth with his palm without any disgust at all.

Oliv whose consciousness had yet to recover by a hundred percent, only received all the Echoes treatment on him.

"Here, still dizzy hmm?" Echoes carried Oliv's head to his chest while gently rubbing Oliv's head. "Rilex, don't strain. We just go home this abis ya." persuaded Gema.

"No, not now." Lirih Oliv is still in the Echoes.

Adam and Nia looked at each other and both smiled at the friendly scene that Gema had done for Oliv. While Oliv seemed to close his eyes, maybe the dizziness in his head had not disappeared.

"How about we go to the settlement first. I think Oliv needs a break." Nia's proposal, Adam and Gema only the mangosteen agreed.

"No, no, Ni. I really am not papa. I was just shocked." elak Oliv. "But the road began to falter again ya." he added still unknowingly with his current position.

Oliv immediately rounded his eyes perfectly as he felt a thumping heartbeat right in front of his ears. He collected his memory pieces. Lastly he also felt a heartbeat from Echoes as he was carried.

Finally Oliv let go of his embrace slowly, he glanced at the man he had been hugging. Oliv's face grew redder, he smiled wryly when he saw Bima's indifferent face smiling at him.

"That's mending?" ask Echoes.

"By the way, thank you." Oliv smiled awkwardly as he massaged his head. "Yes, we continue. I'm not papa."

"We're going to the settlement first, Liv." persuaded Nia.

"Oh my goodness, Ni. I just want to continue. Come on." Come on." Oliv got up from his seat and grabbed his Carrier bag.

"But later if someone is tired do not be detained ya. I have to say." Adam gave instructions.

The three of them only shook their heads at Oliv's behavior. And they were forced to rush to the next trip. With a burning spirit accompanied by the prayer they had offered to the Almighty God.

To get to the next post, they had to travel for three hours on foot. This was the beginning of the struggle to get to the top of the towering mountain challenging the sky.

The four climbers who are deeply in love with nature seem excited. Desire to reach the top safely without anything happening. Because they arrived at the basecamp was already quite hot, not to mention a long enough rest, now the time has shown the afternoon.

"Break!!!" Oliv exclaimed with a breath. They finally stopped and rested for a while.

"Thanks Ni's. Yes, continue to yuk." Bring Oliv.

"Where are you going?" Adam chuckles.

"You haven't reached the post yet." replied Oliv plainly.

"Who said? keep on what??" Adam took Oliv's gaze to the post in the East.

Oliv was just a whimper when he saw the post that turned out to be nearby. He unintentionally glanced at the echo that since from the basecamp was just silent and indifferent, he did not even glance at Oliv.

"Yes, we take ablution first yuk. Continue to worship." proposed Nia who replied nods by Oliv, Adam, and Gema.

The four of them solemnly did their duty as Muslims. Adam became the priest, while Gema, Oliv, and Nia became the teacher.

It was getting darker, but they decided to continue on to the next post further away from the previous post. With a step of encouragement and prayers that they kept saying in their hearts, now they walk with a flashlight that shines.

Happp

Moist and mossy soil makes the road slippery if not careful. Oliv closed his eyes as he was about to kiss the ground, but never fell. The intense trembling in his body seemed to gradually disappear. He opened his eyes slowly, the one object he now caught was a sharp eye that was sometimes irritating to him.

"When the road takes an eye." Ketus Echoes then helps Oliv stand up.

"Yes his name is also a disaster." Oliv defended himself.

Oliv snorted in annoyance as Gema did not respond to his words. They pursued the steps of Nia and Adam who were walking ahead of them. Not long after, they arrived at the second post after traveling for approximately four hours.

The four climbers who were carrying one amateur immediately put up the tent they were carrying. One tent for Nia and Oliv, one tent for Adam and Echoes.

Oliv and Nia make fire to cook instant noodles and make drinks. The journey is long enough to make their energy is quite drained. After it is over, they eat potluck food ala climbers, then perform the obligation as Muslims.

"Gue comes in first, Liv." said Nia to Oliv.

"Gue is too. Inget, I'll have to sleep. Because at two o'clock we start the track again." said Adam then gave instructions.

reposeful

Now only Oliv and Gema were in front of the fire. Oliv drew his hands closer to the fire to channel the warmth into his body. The increasingly cold air temperature makes anyone who just wants to try climbing will feel the challenge.

Echoes were silent looking at Oliv's face in the dimness of the light. The woman in front of him was stubborn, yet also persistent.

"Sister Echoes.." call Oliv without looking back at the Echoes. "Sir Echoes how many times has the mountain climbed?" ask Oliv.

"Thirteen." Answer the brief echo. "And maybe this will be the last one" he said in his heart.

"Wooow, that's really cool." Oliv smiled as he looked at the fire that might soon remain charcoal. "Can I do it again?"

"Hmm," The thumping echo asserted.

"Why is Kak Gema's heart always pounding?"
