**Before reading, ready² first yes. We want to go to² with Aa Rian and Neng Tili.
🌸🌸🌸**
Roxas plays his guitar with Amel who sings. It turned out that the voice of the bahenol woman was quite melodious as well. The two of them sat on the terrace of the rented Amel while enjoying the night breeze. The weather tonight is quite hot, it seems because it was not raining this afternoon, so the air feels a little damp and sultry.
“Joko Tingkir ngombe. Jo thought of marai mumet. Ngopek mushroom nggone Mbah Wage. Abstinence, continue to welcome gawe. Abstinence, continue to welcome gawe.”
Joko Tingkir Ngombe Dawet is a song sung by Amel. The woman was in the midst of joining Roxas to accompany her and accompany her to sing. A glass of cappuccino and fried bananas provided the woman to host Roxas. Surely with pleasure the crossbred young man did it.
“Tante sound good, why not join the Idol show?”
“Which is brave, the rival is heavy. Aunty was just a bathroom biduan aja,” Amel giggled afterwards.
Roxas put the guitar on the edge of the chair, then he grabbed a coffee glass that had reduced the heat. Sipping the drink until it runs out half and then take a fried banana which has also disappeared the heat.
“You work at a hotel yes, Xas?”
“Iya, tan.”
"What part?"
“Part concierge. Easy term doorman plus welcome statue, hahaha.”.
“The work is relaxing dong, just pegel doang yes, hahaha.”
“Yes is it, tan.”
“But it matches your handsome face if displayed in front of the entrance. The hotel guests are more excited. If Adit what part?”
“Adit part drive.”
“Oh Adit so driver.”
“That's mistress aunt. If Adit is driving, aka nyuci saucer is chanting aka ngepel hahaha.”
No doubt Amel laughed when he heard it. There was-there was just a term that the handsome young man sitting next to him used. Talking with Roxas is fun, besides his son is good, he also always makes a happy atmosphere with all his toys. Her longing for her husband was a little overcome by singing and talking to Roxas. Especially since long ago Amel wanted to have a sister, baby she is just an only child.
In the middle of the conversation, visible from the direction of the gate, Aditya motorbike entered the contract of Haji Soleh. Seeing his best friend come home, Roxas prepares to return to his contract. It's nine o'clock by now. It doesn't feel good to linger in the widow's house, Roxas thought.
“Tan, I go home first.”
“Yes, thanks for your aunt. Eh this fried banana brought aja.”
Amel thrust a plate of fried bananas at Roxas. After saying thank you, with a plate and a guitar, Roxas walked towards the contract. While Aditya who had arrived in front of his contract, intended to go to the house of the Goddess, wanted to give the souvenirs that had been brought Adrian.
“Dit..” call Roxas.
“Paan?”
“Mo why go to Dewi's house? I slept rich, noh the front room lights are dead.”
“Gue want to give souvenirs from bang Ad.”
“Kaga please, I love you. My ration, I give to the same Enin Goddess. Let's make us aja.”
“Totally?”
“Iya.”
Hearing that the Goddess had obtained souvenirs from Roxas, Aditya also undoes his intentions. Roxas deliberately lied saying that. Though his gifts were given to enin as well as Yulita. He was sure that Adrian also gave gifts to the Goddess. Roxas does not want Aditya to know about the Goddess with Adrian. Besides not having the heart, Roxas still wants to give time to the Goddess to think.
“Busy huh, Dit. Sampe malem gini back home.”
“Iya. Shadow alone, there are three buffets. There are 500 guests we have to deal with. There are guest owners too. Beuh in the kitchen is rich. The Jose works grumpily. Sometimes I want a sumpel tuh his mouth use the handle mop.”
“Which is Jose? Belagu very rich.”
“Not again. Sometimes he is more powerful than chef Soni or chef Elang. Gedegin's oath to people. Pantes aja the Akay innannya keki mulu.”
“So enemy of the kitchen is the title.”
“Iya. Eh buset already fluent language bulenya.”
“Transmission is a bit from Pak Arsa. But still my puyeng.”
“Lo has never been in the company of such a bule guest?”
“Bule many are pacing into the hotel. But luckily there is no interest in me talking hahaha.”.
“Still welcome ye, hahaha.”
Aditya put the souvenirs from Adrian on the table in the front room. The young man then went into the room to pick up a towel. He wanted to clean his sticky body by sweat. Roxas continued eating fried bananas made by Amel while playing his phone.
🌸🌸🌸
Exactly at seven in the morning, Adrian was already in the contract Haji Soleh. As usual, the man parked the vehicle near the gate, and walked to the house of the Goddess, because the distance was not far. On the terrace looks like the Goddess has been sitting sweetly waiting for his arrival.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Uh sir Adrian has arrived. That's.. The goddess is also ready,” replied Nenden.
“You really don't want to come?”
“Sometime mom comes with it. Does the offer still apply later?”
“In Shaa Allah, still ma'am. I to the Goddess first.”
“Please, sir.”
Adrian walks to the terrace. The goddess who saw Adrian's arrival immediately stood up to greet him. His eyes could not be seen Adrian who looked handsome in a shirt without a collar of light gray color combined with black knee-length cargo pants. Her looks are trendy.
“Aready?”
“Udah.”
“Bring a change of clothes?”
“Make what?”
“You don't want to swim there?”
“Emang can swim?"
"could. But you have to be careful and use a buoy, because it is good in the funds.”
“Oh ok. Bentar.”
The goddess rushed into the house. He quickly stuffed the change of clothes into his backpack. Do not forget also towels and toiletries are also makeshift cosmetics. When he was done, he immediately came out while carrying his backpack.
“Come, a,” invite Goddess excited. He was already impatient to immediately see the beauty of Sanghyang Heuleut.
Adrian takes the backpack from the Goddess and rests it on his shoulder. Dewi felt very happy being treated like a princess by her former homeroom teacher. After saying goodbye to Nenden, they immediately headed for the car.
“Let's stop by the mini market for a while yes,” Adrian said while installing his seat belt.
“You what, a?”
“Buy coffee. I haven't seen coffee this morning.”
“Oh, ok.”
Adrian immediately ran his vehicle slowly. Arriving on the highway, he increased the speed of his car. Before entering the toll, the man stopped briefly at a mini market with a blue logo.
“Black coffee no?”
“Ehmm.. kaya there deh.”
“What do you want?”
“Brown aja.”
“You guys buy a snack. You will not stop ngunyah, later if salatri (weak due to hunger) in the car department.”
“Ish.. aa can not say anything that makes blood high.”
“Ngga. I love to see you lash out, hahaha.”.
The goddess throws her lips at Adrian. He picked up a shopping cart, then went around the store. Sloppy, the girl put in all her favorite snacks. Adrian did not protest at all, the man even added some snacks into the shopping cart.
After paying for his groceries, they returned to the car and continued on their way. Dewi put a coffee glass in a storage area near Adrian so that the man was easier if he wanted to drink it. He also began to sip the warm chocolate he had bought earlier.
“A.. photos that yesterday aa really send in Cipatat huh? I just found out. Have you been there yet?”
“Udah, several times same friend. I told you that you passed a little from the school area or home must be stray.”
“Ish...”
Out of curiosity, Dewi took her phone, she wanted to ask Mbah gugel who exactly Sanghyang Heuleut was. See a row of beautiful photos about Sanghyang Heuleut, one of the ancient lakes whose water is blue and clear. Sanghyang Heuleut is believed to be the Sundanese people, as a bathing place for angels.
“The place is really good. I can't wait to arrive quickly. We can swim there?”
“Can you swim? If you can't mending don't, then bother me.”
“Ish. Just look at it later. Do you want to see me swim in what style? Freestyle, breaststroke or butterfly style?”
“Most you usually broom fish style, stuck in stone.”
“Based Sanghyang byebelin!”
“Hahaha..”.
Adrian was open to hear the name for him. Instead of arguing, Dewi chose to take out the snack she bought earlier. Talking to Adrian, making his stomach hungry. He opened the chocolate-flavored croissant he bought, while continuing to read about Sanghyang Heuleut.
“Sanghyang Heuleut said bathing place angel. Means if I take a bath there, I include angel dong,” chirps Goddess.
“If they are angels coming down from heaven. If you're an angel get off bajaj.”
“Ish. Let's get down from bajaj, keep me beautiful,” Dewi stick her tongue out at Adrian then feed croissant into his mouth.
“Beautiful because you are a girl, so it is given the name of Dewi. If you brewokan, the name is Dewo, Dewi Brewokan, hahaha.”.
Adrian's laughter came to a halt when Dewi stuffed the man's mouth with a croissant. Now the turn of the Goddess who was widened because of the chocolate stuffing croissant stick to the corner of Adrian's lips and slightly elongated to the cheeks.
“Hexhaust a, do not dump hahaha.”.
Adrian was forced to eat the croissant that was forced into his mouth. The goddess pulled out a sheet of tissue then cleaned the chocolate that was stuck to the corner of Adrian's lips. Looking at the man's lips, Dewi recalled the excitement of her imagining kissing Adrian. After cleaning the rest of the chocolate, Dewi returned to her position and chose to eat another snack to expel her nervousness.
“His croissant taste is strange yes,” chirps Adrian after spending it.
“White why? That's still new. I checked the expired date.”
“Any aja, kinda salty. Probably because of your jigong.”
“Mana there!! That croissant I didn't bite, I cut my hand.”
“That's it, maybe you're abis snot.”
“Based Sanghyang sneak! Nybelin.. bummer.. byebelin..”.
The goddess hit Adrian's arm so badly. Adrian laughed instead. The journey to Cipatat, continues to be interspersed with the temptations of Adrian who always successfully provoke the emotions of the Goddess.
🌸🌸🌸
After traveling for two more hours, they finally arrived at their intended location. The location of the three tourist sites to be visited today is not far away. Adrian decides to visit Sanghyang Kenit and Sanghyang Tikoro first, before they play water in Sanghyang Heuleut.
Adrian deliberately invited a guide to accompany them along the beauty of Sanghyang Kenit. Sanghyang Kenit was chosen first because this location is closer than the entrance. Sanghyang Kenit is a cave on the rock cliffs below. The difference of Sanghyang Kenit from other Sanghyang is from the type of rock. The rocks at this location consist of limestone, limestone and white rock.
Sanghyang Kenit's beauty comes from accident. When the flow of water from the Saguling dam to the flow of the Citarum river is transferred to the Saguling PLTA, the rocks and caves are revealed here. Here tourists can do the activities of the cave. Sanghyang Kenit offers several main paths to walk through the cave.
“This location is said to be a place of meditation by the ancestors and here. They perform the slaughter of black goats that have a circular white belt, the name is a canine sheep. Hence this place is called kenit sheep.”
“The river flow here connects to Sanghyang Tikoro right sir?”
“Iya. Is it the same neng want to join the activities of the cave or river rafting?” haggling the driver.
Adrian turned his head to the girl. Leave the decision to him because he has done this, either down the cave or wading the river. The Goddess thought for a moment, both of them looked attractive, but she had to choose one of them.
“Ehm.
“Well if there are two paths to the cave. There are actually three, but one is still in the preparation stage. Two can be used. The first lane is about 200 meters long, there is a puddle that will be passed, but not until one meter. The second lane is 600 meters away and the puddle is almost one meter deep. Both will end up in Sanghyang Tikoro. Which path would you like to choose?”
Adrian again handed the decision to the Goddess. The girl wondered first to Adrian about the location she would pass by later. After thinking, he chose the first path. The girl was still scared down the dark and narrow cave. They finally agreed to take the first route. The driver gives a helmet that has a lamp on it or a head lamp. The three were preparing to explore the beauty of the cave.
They began to pass through the rocks around the cave. This is why Adrian asked the Goddess to wear sneakers when leaving earlier. The heart of the Goddess palpitated as her feet began to walk down the rocks. He holds Adrian's hand, still afraid of the cave atmosphere. Adrian releases the handrails of the Goddess and replaces her with her finger link.
The deeper they went down the cave, the darker and narrower the gap they had to pass through. The goddess could not walk side by side with Adrian because of the narrow path. Adrian asks the Goddess of the road in front of him, but their hands still remain together.
The goddess screamed as many bats flew towards her. Reflexes she rewinds her body then hugs Adrian. The girl buried her face into the chest of the field of former homeroom teacher who would soon become her lecturer. For a moment Adrian let the Goddess in his arms. After the bat collection reduced, he invited the Goddess to continue the journey.
For about half an hour they walked down the cave and finally arrived at the end. The Sanghyang Kenit cave track ends at Sanghyang Tikoro which is their second destination. The goddess exhaled a sigh of relief after seeing the bright light in front of her. He took the helmet off his head.
“Nah now we are in Sanghyang Tikoro,” said the guide.
Sanghyang Tikoro is a natural limestone cave located behind the Saguling dam that holds the water flow of the Citarum river. The river is divided into two, the left side flows on the surface of the ground, while the stream on the right flows into a cave, Sanghyang Tikoro.
Initially no one is allowed to visit the place, because of the heavy and dangerous flow of river. But after the construction of the PLTA, the flow began to decline and make the appearance of the cave become clear. While down the ancient rocks around the cave, Dewi and Adrian continued to listen to the guide's explanation.
The guide told the legend of the beginning of the occurrence of this cave. The story of Sangkuriang who made a giant boat is a legendary story among Sundanese people. They believe that the boat made by Sangkuriang turned into Mount Tangkuban Parahu, in addition to the mountain, Sangkuriang believed to make the lake and boat. The lake is a giant basin that became the location of the city of Bandung today. But the lake leaked through a hole now called Sanghyang Tikoro.
“Kata Sanghyang means holy, while Tikoro means throat, so the word is interpreted holy throat. From the front of the cave can be seen the shape of the cave is like a throat. Well here is also often used by people to mediate or test the guts. Want to test your guts here?”
“Ngga, sir, thanks. Mr. aja who test guts, hehehe..” sahut Dewi.
“For so long no one has ever researched the length of what the river flow in the cave is, because it is too dangerous as well. Please take a picture. From here we proceed to Sanghyang Heuleut.”
The guide invited Adrian and Dewi to enjoy the beauty of the cave. Adrian asks the Goddess to pose in front of the cave mouth. Either because of the humid cave air and some mystery stories told by the guide earlier. The goddess did not dare to linger near the cave alone. He ran straight to Adrian as soon as the man finished taking his picture.
Not much time was spent in Sanghyang Tikoro. Dewi invites Adrian to immediately continue the journey to Sanghyang Heuleut. The distance traveled to get to Sanghyang Heuleut is further from the cave layouts earlier. They walked back down the rocky path. Through trees and wooden bridges.
Adrian continued to hold the hand of the Goddess along the way, making the girl smile happily because she felt so protected.
