~For many people walk, but they don't go anywhere~


...ΩΩΩ...


The events that took place in Bu Diah's class were long-tailed. Edy was reported to the chairman of the campus foundation, he was tried with PUKET, general assistant to the campus chairman, and several witness lecturers. His case was accumulated with past Edy violations. Edy got a full one-semester suspension. All of his college points in the current semester were dropped. Edy was also banned from participating in all student unit activities. theatre SMEs are required to make extraordinary deliberation in search of Edy's replacement.


Edy was made completely hurt by the people and the campus. He was also banned from the sanggar, almost having a day without activities that he found productive and useful.


In Edy's mind, being in a city as comfortable as Bandung without productive activities is the same as killing your future self. Because the new semester lecture still had to wait three months, and also the production of t-shirt trading was also vacuum, then Edy decided to use the time of his suspension to rejuvenate his mind, caring for his heart and conscience filled with hatred for the city.


Edy Go to Mount Gede Pangrango, Cianjur.


Cibodas Botanical Garden, Cianjur.


"Almost, Sir" said Edy to a porter passing near where he was resting.


"yes." answered the porter spontaneously.


"Sir Agus?" greet Edy again.


The porter twisted his body which shouldered two baskets with a wooden buffer between his shoulders.


"Edy bandung?" mr. Agus said again after seeing Edy.


Mr. Agus approached and lowered his body to make sure the person who greeted him.


"Well right, Edy Bandung" said Mr. Agus again while lowering the logistics basket on his shoulder.


"Sir Agus this" said Edy after helping to put the basket brought by Pak Agus.


Edy opened both of her hands wide. Agus welcomed him. The two cross-generational Companions embraced venting their fatigue and longing


"Edy Bandung's.. Edy Bandung.." said Mr. Agus. His right hand shook Edy tightly while his left hand patted the young boy's arm many times. "Kumaha Damang?"


"Alhamdulilah Saeee sir" replied Edy as he went to find a comfortable sitting position to talk with Mr. Agus.


"How many guests are you taking?" said Edy while opening the carrier head


Edy pulled out a water bottle and some bread.


"Please sir" Edy said again


"Four people" Mr. Agus moved towards his logistic basket. "this is." he said again while taking out a splastik of his cake. "this is your favorite right"


"Wahh kueh pineapple made by the mother" said Edy. "I'll take one sir. Kangen ka the Madame"


"Candak weh sadayana" said Mr. Agus. "eta you are in search of children. 'Kangen kang Edy bandung, kangen Kang Edy bandung' so he continued to say" continued Pak Agus with a laugh of his familiarity.


"I oge kangen them, sir. God stopped by tomorrow"


"Rizal Fakhrurozzi coming?" Pak Agus asked Pejuh.


"I'm alone sir"


"Oh himself. Is this going up or down?"


"Good,pak. I'm riding from Cibodas. Semalem has camped in the park, this is just here. I'd like to come here"


"Tumben up from there? Usually go up via the mountain route princess.


Are you still upset with the Princess line that is not as clean as Cibodas?"


"Ahh not that, sir. I want to go through Cibodas. Regarding trash, it is because maybe the Princess line is now-now starting to be popular times yes, sir. More passes because the track is closer, so yes. It's not Mr. Agus' fault, it's our city people's fault."


From a distance, low boisterous guest climber Pak Agus began to sound closer.


"Already Sir. We don't look for who's wrong. What if we blame them, sir. Haha." said Edy as he pointed at a group of tourists climbers.


"Oh, Ntongg ah. They are the source of your income" said Pak Agus reply to Edy's joke with laughter.


"Hello" one of Mr. Agus' guests greeted Edy. Four guys. Two men, two women, all carrying a daypack and holding a tracking pole in his left hand.


"Hello" Mr. Agus stood up and greeted his guest. "Please introduce, the man who saved my life a year ago. His name is Edy" Pak Agus introduced Edy.


One by one Mr. Agus' guests greeted Edy. After a little telling Edy to his guests, Pak Agus rushed up to continue the journey.


"Okay, We have to go" said Mr. Agus.


"Noo, santay first. Take a rest for a minute" another guest asked Mr. Agus to keep resting.


"No, we have to move. Sunset, sunset" Mr. Agus ordered his guests to continue walking. "Our camp ground is there, near" said Mr. Agus again while pointing to the location they will set up the tent .


"Duh, actually you really want to chat longer with you" Mr. Agus got up from where he leaned.


"Look off, Pak. I think it's gonna be a long time here"


"How long?"


"Goru, Bapak. I'm not tied to anything in town. I'll be here a long time, maybe"


"Once, we'll go again. Mr. Camping near the turn after the spring there, we will continue to talk if we meet." said Mr. Agus again while lifting the logistic basket to his shoulder and rushed to continue his duties.


Agus continued his journey. From a distance, he turned to Edy and gave the code by showing his finger that he was waiting for Edy at camp ground.


Not long. Edy is too


hurry to prepare yourself for the afternoon at Gunung Gede pangrango. Edy set up a tent on a slightly sloping land quite far from where he rested earlier. He faced his tent facing the twilight sun that descended to the back of the hill, in the lower left serong saw the city of cianjur showing its beauty from a distance.


Edy chose not to approach with Pak Agus' tent because he did not want to interfere with Pak Agus' work. After all, extraordinary people such as Mr. Agus, who is dressed in a hatchet, covered in party T-shirts with a multifunctional sarong, can be as a towel, a pedestal, a blanket and so on. Usually after they set up a tent, make a temporary toilet and cook food for their guests, they immediately sleep to rest their bodies after a day trip, and then they go to bed, carrying two basecamp basecamp to Post 4 with the weight of each side of the basket at least equal to the 80L carrier that Edy made.


The relationship between Pak Agus and Edy began when Edy helped Pak Agus in the events of early 2016. Pak Agus mired into the ravine in the path of cibodas. In addition to the difficult and slippery path because there was a hot waterfall, at that time the burden on Pak Agus' basket exceeded the usual limits he carried. At that event, Pak Agus logistics basket fell to the bottom of the ravine, while Pak Agus still survived restrained roots and rocks that he achieved. Edy with Pejuh, when it happened to be not far from where Pak Agus fell. They came down to save Mr. Agus with the rope he carried.


Edy carried Pak Agus to basecamp cibodas, while Pejuh walked down first replacing the task of Pak Agus to guide two guests down at that time.


.........


Surya Kencana Square. Edy's second Sunday at Mount Gede Pangrango.


In Surya Kencana, the theory of time relativity is so working. It felt like he had just woken a butterfly that flew without anxiety inside the tent, took him out and sat on the rocks under a shady tree, looking at the morning life, he said, mating cold air with a cup of hot coffee, mating dragonfly animal life marker of air clarity Surya Kencana, Edelweis flowers and sparkling greenery on the edge, accompanying his eyes recorded a quiet scene on the other side.


After being betrayed by Rara, in the city, Edy felt that everyone was scary, no one could be trusted. Here, in the heavenly courtyard named after the sunken square, the sound of the wind, Edy gave himself a deafening grasp on the simple and independent meaning. In its surroundings, flying birds pull it to jump into it, let the wound dissolve and rise into the sky under the heat of the sun.


Edy closed his eyes, he brought peace to the soul, and when he reopened it, the wolf was red. The twilight of tau-tau arrived, hugging him who refused to rush.


He occasionally joked at what he had become friends with in Surya Kencana, that he sat ninety minutes in the wet classroom of Bu Diah's class, which he was in, it felt much longer than the fourteen Mornings he had passed by himself.


Next Morning


Mr. Agus who is routinely visited Surya Kencana Square, for a number of times returned to the tent Edy. He came to bring coffee beans and a few packs of Edy's cigarette butts.


"Well, this is Edy anyone wants to know you. My guest, local, his name is Yasmine. From Jogja" said Mr. Agus while pointing a finger at the guest he brought.


"Yasmine" Mr. Agus' guest greeted Edy.


"Edy" said Edy in return for Yasmine's greeting.


"How many guests are you taking?" edy said to Agus.


"Yasmine's germs" replied Mr. Agus. "Has been chatting first mbak yaa, I prepared breakfast first" said Mr. Agus again while rushing to make a fireplace.


Yasmine had only met Edy once, only it felt like she had known Edy very deeply, maybe because of Mr. Agus. How not, during the trip with Pak Agus, from cibodas to basecamp, from basecamp to the top, from the top to Surya Kencana Square, Yasmine continues to be told about the ins and outs of Edy. Of course Mr. Agus wouldn't have done that if Yasmine wasn't enthusiastic about hearing that. Yasmine is intrigued, and so she wants to join Edy, a so-called heartbroken explorer.


"Breaked heart?" edy said with a face holding back laughter.


"Yes, heartbreak in life" replied Yasmine, "Sufi"


"Haha. A sufi? Yes, it is not. If you say bandung mah, and I am what oruh" said Edy while releasing his little laugh.


"Said Rumi, all that is heartbroken in life is Sufi" Yasmine said as she took out a book from her bag.


"travel, love to read books...." Edy weighed in on Yasmine's figure.


The three laughed with their thoughts. From the way Mr. Agus connects, it looks he is trying to offer his guests to be loved Edy.


"What is the meaning of human beauty in the presence of this Kencana Sun" Yasmine responded.


Mr. Agus who was busy taking care of the fireplace did not hear Yasmine's response. Edy is still busy with her own thoughts. In front of him was a person with the character he craved. Yasmine, the woman who by her decision dared to venture into nature alone, had managed to become the master of herself, conquering fear, erasing the hypocrisy from the beauty of her face, filling her head with insight and knowledge. An ideal woman who when Edy decides to get one, the world will call them both, a pair who fight, really fight.


"What do you think?" yasmine said to Edy who was momentarily silent.


"Huh, nothing"


"Think me?" Yasmine was guessing while joking. "Be careful don't think I'm the one" Yasmine said again.


"Huh?" Edy's confused.


"I am what you think"


"You are what I think" Edy replied.


Mr. Agus finished with his fireplace. Edy and Yasmine help prepare food ingredients and seasonings to cook. All three create an atmosphere that city people usually call Quality Time.


...****************...


Same morning at the campus park


Rara read Edy's Note :


If the country can not give books to children in the corners, let's love.


if the country gabisa take care of nature and the environment, let's take care.


If the gabisa state nurtures small merchants, let's keep them.


Let's rame rame do what the country doesn't do. Come rame-rame replace the role of the state, do not expect everything to the state.


Since the disappearance of Edy, Rara became a person who likes to read. Read it are notes from Edy's social blog that he has copied and printed himself so that he can read everywhere.


Rara felt very guilty. He's been looking for Edy everywhere off campus. Rara met Edy's friends, she went to her boarding house Edy, Edy's favorite coffee shop, Edy's outlet selling t-shirts, to the informal school built by Edy. Everyone doesn't know where Edy went. They just believe that Edy is somewhere that is not a city, only, no one knows where Edy is.


Something that offends Edy's heart is happening, and Rara has a big hand in the matter, Rara realizes it. That's why she is looking for Edy. Naturally, as she searched for Edy, Rara was one step closer to knowing Edy. From people who know Edy, Rara gets so much perspective on Edy. Rara knew she had misjudged Edy.


Early that afternoon, Rara sat in the long chair that Edy used to live in. Pissing and Pejuh passing from behind, they headed for the library. They are actually aware of Rara's whereabouts there, but Pejuh asks Piss to ignore Rara. Peduh who was none other than Edy's friend, was annoyed and had lost respect for what Rara had done to Edy.


Rara feels like de javu. A few days earlier, he had felt what had happened today. Where Piss and Pejuh silence it like this, in the same place and the same position. Piss and Pejuh always pass like there is no Rara there.


Rara was also similarly cowardly, not a single word came out of her lips in an attempt to make Pissing And Pejuh stop and approach her.


"Edyyyy" Rara said alone as Piss and Pejuh disappeared from her sight.


Rara reopens Edy's notes in her hand :


The Wind Gede Pangrango.


the prayer place is chanted from tents and flags.


where hope is flown from a broken spirit.


he brought the body and sweat to the ears of the guards whom he called hands to hold, spies to pay attention to each other, and the body not to be far apart.


The Wind Gede Pangrango


maybe you're tired, it's me who doesn't get tired easily.


maybe you're lonely, it's me, the other lonely.


I'm running out of places in town.


Include me in your syllabus


assign me to fly, sacrifice, spread, spread, spread, thrilling, obscure


maybe my job is to circle around the mandalawangi valley, culminating in weeding the pedestrians


upturned the star sprinkles


or swoop down to caress Surya Kencana Square from the inside.


Wind Gede Pangrango, say


"Let's get you human remains"


I'll be right between you,


I'll blow what I have.



...****************...


"Edy, it's me, Rara Novitri, another lonely person" Rara said, glistening at what she read with teary eyes.


Rara reopen Edy's next note.


That individual.


unique, one.


Although beautiful, the sun is nothing if there are a thousand.


You, be yourself. One


Reading Edy's notes, Rara re-opened the first pages of Edy's notes, recalling one opening quote on Edy's social blog.


'Man will be nothing until the time comes when he becomes what he decides himself to be.'


Rara reopen Edy's other notes.


Someone tried to advise me in this hug, "come home occasionally to Mother, son. But do not get rid of the destiny that the place of all your reality is in the city. Don't run," he said. And the air is getting colder.


"You, Ed. The place where all your reality is in the city" said Rara alone again. "Then go home" he said again.


Rara put her head on the table, precisely on a bundle of notes against Edy that she always read, her eyes glazed in it. The sound of the steps of people who come and go repeatedly he heard, Rara seemed to not care.


The jocks are still in the library. She slept. Pissing left him and went out alone. When Pissing arrived at the door of the library, he fell silent. Looking at her, Rara was still sitting in the same place as she and Pejuh passed ignoring her a few hours ago.


His heart was touched for a moment. As hard as it is shaped by nature, Pissing knows exactly what it feels like to be a woman.


Behind the magnitude of the name of a Rara as the chairman of HMJ and students with a GPA of 3.9 , Rara is a lonely person. Peeing knew that since they knew each other closely when Rara was hospitalized a while ago. Even later, repeatedly Pissing contacted Rara to ask for company and listen to her vent, but Piss ignored her.


Pissing Abandonment to Rara was done because he felt the need to maintain respect for Pejuh lover who refused to believe in what Rara, Willy, and campus said. Pejuh knew Edy, Pejuh felt Edy was not like what they had expected in the Bu Diah class case.


Piss to force himself to walk past Rara. His heart was tight, he did not dare to glance at Rara in the slightest. He tried hard to refuse to feel what Rara felt.


One, two, three steps, Piss managed to pass and turn her back to Rara. Feeling safe, Piss stop his steps for a moment, he elus his chest to relieve his heartbeat, he exhaled his relief. Merely, before rushing to continue his steps, he heard the sound of steps and dry leaves being stepped on, a middle man stood up and looked at him from behind.


"Edy with the people who fight" Rara said.


"Aren't you with me, Cing?" said again.


Pee turns the body slowly, he still has not issued a word. He's still looking for what.


"I will resign from the chairman of HMJ. I don't care about the job title, the scholarship, or the numbers. If I think something is true, then I will say the truth. If I think something is wrong, then I will say wrong" Rara said again.


Pissing eyes widened after hearing it.


"I'll make amends for my mistake. I'm gonna fight back. And after all that, Cing...." Rara held back her sentence. He stepped closer to the piss. "Are you with me?" Rara repeated her words.


Piss opened her body and let Rara put her embrace there. Also split the two women's cries in the park there.
