Ravana's Note: Scandal

Note 33: Mountain and Sea

"Hike the mountain not to fly the flag, but to accept challenges, enjoy the air, and see the sights. Be afraid that you may see the world, not so that the world may see you." - David Mc Cullough **.

Ravana sighed seeing Ai's reaction. “Bro, later in Villa will be a lot of start, so do not waste bullets,” said Ravana.

“He will attack us not?” Ai alert.

“He's a forest watchman, so maybe we're the ones he thinks are threats. From earlier he did notice you because you were too noisy like,”

“Eike should not be able to squirm so,”

“In this dimension all can see each other because Eyang opens all the delimiters,”

“She brought..” Ai scrunched her eyes, “Baby?’

“It's not a real baby. Come on in,” Ravana approached the car and opened the door.

“But the cry of the baby sounds real, lest he kidnap someone's baby!”

“Believe me, you're dying. The sooner we go, the better,”

“You sure, Mas?”

“In the meantime she will yell and slam the baby, so it is better that you get in the car before wriggling on the traumatic scene,” Ravana said as she got into the car.

“Duh,” Ai instantly hurriedly ran away from there and got into the car.

And in the car he hugged Ravana's arm, “Seinget eike first nothing like this, Mas!”

“Had all been afraid of Papa and Om Arman, where dare they appear,”

The journey by car is within minutes. But along the way Ai can see many things that are beyond her common sense that happen outside her window. The young man grew up with logic, Papa and Mama never talk about the supernatural.

They drive by car, the right side is the expanse of the park, the left part is the wilderness with tall trees.

Outside the window, Ai could see a group of climbers walking around. They walked around like they were trapped inside a labyrinth. AI so remember first he and Iwan once played ‘who fast he can’, Milady Mother play a song and the children walk around a chair. When the song stops, they sit in a chair.

And the position of the climber was exactly that, walking around the location-that's it.

Above the climbers was a large black figure looking down at the climbers.

“Ai,” Ravana nudges Ai's shoulder, “Not to be ignored,”

“They why Mas?”

“They seem to be deliberately made to get lost by walking in that place-that's it,”

“Mas, you can't help them?”

“Not all supernatural affairs can we interrupt, interference all that also with the permission of Divine,”

“Why are they so?”

“Maybe they've disturbed the forest, we don't know either. All we can do is pray for them that God will help them,”

Ai frowned and lowered her head. He was noticing the atmosphere outside his car window. While Ravana and Aki Tirem were casually chatting about the political world.

Then a white mist descended in front of them. It was as thick as an ice rickety in the wind, to the point that their visibility was not up to several meters ahead.

“Ah, white mist. Help for the climbers has arrived. There may be an Adhan on the mountain to signify prayer time,” said Ravana.

“Or it could be Adzan to search for missing persons,” added Aki Tirem.

“Many are missing, Ki?”

“Some people did not survive, even when found in found already lifeless. Though the location was repeatedly skipped by the search team,” said Aki Tirem. “Esay if there is already a hunch or there is news spread if there is a team that disappears, it is better not to continue uphill, it means the mountain is not friendly or a lot of disturbing astral inhabitants, it means,” (based on a story from a reader with the account name Kang Zulid).

“In addition to the white fog which means good things, and the black fog which means bad omen, here also there is an astral in the form of Noni. If he shows up there is a warning so that the climb is not continued. So it is better to just go home,” (based on the story of the reader with the account name Nuraini).

“If the climb is that heavy, why the heck is desperate to the top? What are they really looking for anyway?” ai asked a bit.

Ravana grinned at hearing that. He often went up the mountain, but not to climb the top. Getting to the top for him is just a bonus. He went up the mountain to visit Eyang Gandhes or just move the astral one to another. He had to know whether the entity he was moving to got a decent place or not, so he surveyed many places to know where he should process it.

“ For amateur climbers, the summit is not the destination. The journey itself is the destination. Beauty and happiness are on the way up and down. Those who are too focused on the peak will be exhausted on the rise and will get a void on the descent,”

"But beauty is not only in the mountain, Mas," said Ai still do not understand. "If it is that heavy, it is actually designed by God not to be traced by man,"

"Which is not a hobby of climbing will indeed talk like you. You are not wrong either. Just a difference of opinion only and the difference of favorites is natural," said Ravana. "It's more like a passion. An obsession to explore divine greatness,"

"Si Ai is like a beach boy yaaa," said Aki Tirem while poking Ai's arm to tease him.

"I'd rather go to the beach than the mountain" Ai murmured.

"But there are more rulers in the sea than in the mountains,"

"Huh? You serious? How come?!" exclaim Ai. (Huh? Seriously aki? How can?!)

"So there's a conspiracy going viral. Around the 1970s, Nasa was originally created to explore the ocean. About a few years later, they abruptly stopped the project and chose to explore outer space. It's like they're looking for another planet for humans to live on,"

"Why ki?"

"Yes that's the question. Wh why? What did they find under the sea? What makes them want to move away from this earth?"

Ai and Ravana fell silent. The fur of Ai directly bristles.

"Man cannot live in the sea. But you can still live in the mountains. And most of the Djinns could live in the sea, so they established their kingdoms there. That's the explanation, hehe,"

"This if continued chatting until next year the novel will not end, Ki," said Ai.

Not felt because the portico chatted, making their trip feel short. No doubt the expanse of Tudor-style villa is directly visible from behind the trees.

A woman was already waiting for them in front of the main door, on top of the stairs with a carefree smile. She looks like a hijab-wearing socialite today, with a Versace-styled veil, expensive-looking tunics and skirts, Italian higheels and Dior sunglasses.

At first glance, his appearance was like Ravana's age.

Because it's as young as it looks.

“Aaaaw Eyang's grandson finally dateeeng,” welcome him.

“Wareng,” Ravana while hugging Eyang Gandhes.

“This one is also Eyaaaang's grandson,” Eyang Gandhes ignored Ravana's equipment and instead embraced Ai.

“Heh, who is it?! Play hugs aje! Dih!!” Ai pinched the fingers of Eyang Gandhes and brushed off the sneering sabil.

Eyang Gandhes gaped while strangling stifled, “Prestigious anyway you are just as eyey yourself!” he stroked his painful fingers pinched Ai.

“Themany of which is Eyang?! Except for your dermatologist god level!”

“Passion, loh, hehe,” Eyang Gandhes blushed, feeling that Ai praised her beauty, aka lost kaprah.

“This is Gandhes eyes, Ai. You are not inget?” ask Aki Tirem while grinning.

“Lying!" accuse Ai, "Pas Eike is still a leak, the Eyang looks already aunty. This Eike is almost so Om-om may not look like it is still like this abege! Unless he's a damp, or a robot!"

"Thank you again," chortled Eyang Gandhes as he entered the Villa.
