“Have permission grandpa yet? If it's not wrong he came home this week, I'm not going to Jakarta because I want to see grandfather first.”
“Oh yes? when does grandpa come home? Supposedly, Rita was already at home when grandpa arrived here?”
“Kog Tumben Om Radian ngajak lo Rit? It's strange! you are not a real staff, just an intern “ Andi sitting on the sofa while trying Rita's knitting scarf
“Not only Rita kog coming, Daniel too. He said he wanted to teach basic things about business, one of which is this outside service. Meeting why, but the cool thing is, Rita can paragliding and paragliding, fun right?”
“oooo that's why lo spirit ?” this time Andi tried a white bucket hat and pegged himself in front of the mirror
“iya, Rita is upset, this holiday is punished by work, it happens that someone is working while on vacation, what is not the windfall?, Brother Andi wants to come?”
“Don't want ah, I think Om Radian would prefer the same lo than me.”
“oke all already in backpack!” Rita carries a backpack to climb the mountain, she also carries 2 shoes
“Jaket always used Rit, bring thick all of you, we do not know the weather is now easy to change.”
“Ah yes, Rita forgot to buy earlier, because if in Indonesia the jacket is not as thick as here, I buy dong first. Waduh whereas this afternoon we leave.”
“sore this? Thursday afternoon? Then just wear Andi's jacket, a lot of kog!”
“By kak?” Rita follows Andi out of her room and into Andi's room
“Rita thinks brother Andi occupies a new papa” room this time Rita goes into his sister's room.
Andi's room is as spacious as Rita's, the room is ivory white, and the window faces the terrace. On the desk are some photos. Rita looks at the old photos that are displayed on the work table and hanging shelves. Andi displayed several drones and legos in a glass cabinet.
“Papa's room? Where can? That's a special room for grandpa. He said, papa's room should not be disturbed let alone replaced. I am scared there anyway. Once a time brother Andi nyelinap into it, curious grandfather really happy to stay in the room, I continued to fall asleep in bed. Even though half-asleep I feel someone watching me sleep, continue to wake up I have been blanketed, but as I remember there is no blanket in situ”
“Grandpa kali nyelimutin, or home staff, papa ghost time?”
“can be, but the wind is different there, if here or in your room will be fresh, if there the wind is strange!”
“That's because it faces in a different direction kak, there are not many trees, different the same here.”
“If there is a big tree there add serem Rit, if there is a hanging night how?”
“Ah brother Andi nih, don't nakutin dong!” rita protest
“Nih Rit, choose Deh, take 2, if the dirty one is there instead!” Andi opened his big wardrobe, there are many winter jackets with the dominance of dark brown, black, beige.
“This one can be kak?” Rita chose a light blue and army green jacket.
“Oh yes, you like that color yes, take Rit, make lo only. Actually from the beginning of the purchase has never been used, because the color is not a favorite.”
“Not a favorite kog bought? Kan darling?”
“Gue likes the model, fitting, the pockets are many, even though they are thick but light. It's the first edition, the army color and this blue the second edition.”
“There are editions?”
“There, beaming, well the third edition and so on just come out the color that I like.”
“Survival” Rita read jacket label green Army
“Survival? I didn't buy it, but I'm loved! That's expensive, buy it just have to pre order!”
Rita wears the jacket, the hood is hairy, if the hood is worn, there is a dragon strap and covers the ears
“Warm!” Rita put her hand on the jacket
“Eh what's this?” Rita holds a small rope inside a jacket pocket
“Do not pull Rit, if according to the person who made it, when we fell into the lake, you pull the rope, this jacket will expand like a float. Try opening the jacket first!”
Rita obeys Andi.
“Nih Rit, cool nih!” Andi put down the jacket, then look for a small zipper, he pulled slowly, it turns out there is a space where survival items.
“Nih, there are matches, folding knife, folding water bottle, laser flashlight, compass and this, if you know morse code, this can be you tap-tap, there is kog guide.”
“all still works no brother? You see, Andi never brought this, right?” Rita looked at each item carefully
“Cek aja one by one!” said Andi took all the stuff out of his place
Rita checks the flashlight, the folding knife, the match
“If according to his person, this match is special, he can not die even though exposed to air”
“What's wrong dong, so, how?”
“Don't get oxygen, it will burn again, it will burn again. The flashlight still works”
“He should add ht radio yes, right if trapped we need communication out!”
“plus expensive dong, this is actually a prototype, a business presentation people to grandfather. Grandpa likes his idea, and invests but suddenly he bete, because the guy rewards this to Andi's brother. He said, Where is Andi going? With a heart like that!, how fierce!”
“So it was saved just like that?”
“Yes, so it just so happens that there is Rita who likes baseball, so do not waste ! Uh, the water bottle is also funny, so it's a folding water bottle, but the capacity is up to 2 liters, so if the frozen water can be heated directly on the fire, like a thermos.”
“Well, if so Rita take this one only, the blue one does not need!”
“Two Rit, I have a lot of kog, besides most jackets but not used , baby. The plan I want to contribute to charity, so that the closet is not full of kayak gini!” Andi covered his dense closet with various jackets
In the afternoon at about 4, Rita was picked up by a jeep with a rather large tire, Radian and Daniel were already in it
“Sore Sir!” greet Rita while putting her backpack in Jeep, Daniel who carries a car.
“Sore Rit, have told Andi we have 3 days 2 nights?”
“Already sir, I wanted to invite, he did not want!”
“Andi is a homebody, not suitable outbound like us, road Niel!” radiant Command
An orange-colored jeep car rolled out of the yard, and walked towards the mountain.
On the way they talked to each other
“Previous to climb the mountain, Rit?” ask Radian
“Oh are you in martial arts too? What belt already?”
“Ikut Om, Sugiono's grandfather requires that all his grandchildren master at least one martial art!”
“Oh yes? hard too huh, all should be able to? That Andi?”
“Kak Andi come along, he takes pencak silat, it's good for olga heart, but only until the yellow belt, after that stop.”
“If you are Rit?”
“If from grandfather Taekwondo, already a black belt, because in school there is karate, so Rita also took karate, brown belt. Supposedly a belt hike exam, but the school move hunt so stay in the brown belt.”
“Wahh. Daniel's a black belt Judo .” said Radian patting Daniel's back slowly
“Oh yes? as far as Rita Judo is popular in Korea yes, It's just a close combat, slamming, heavy it!”
“Iya right!” suddenly Daniel joined the conversation
“Rit, if you are proficient in martial arts, many guys are afraid of dong same you?” radiancy
“Depending on the guy Om, if those who just want to fad are usually on dodge, but if you do, it's normal tuh.”
“Have a girlfriend Rit?”
“Had Om, now it's gone!”
“Not exist? Mean break up?” radian Goda
“Not, yes no, have died in an accident.” Rita said in a flat tone, while looking towards the road
Suddenly the atmosphere became silent, Radian did not say anything, nor did Daniel.
“You've confirmed tonight we're coming right?” radian asked Daniel to open the conversation
“Already boss, one house with three rooms.” Answer Daniel
“Good, tomorrow morning we paragliding first, new afternoon meeting.” Radian smiled
“What was the first meeting paragliding?” ask Rita wonder
“People come afternoon, dear if we do not use the morning, after all the inn is not far from the gliding place, so we can relax. As soon as it's winter we can ski there Rit.”
“but Om, what do we do to get there in a transitional season like this? Usually the transition from fall to cold wind is firmer.” Rita said again
“It's precisely Rit, Strong wind is very suitable for paragliding!” Radian smiled happily, Radian's appearance was more macho than usual. He wears a checkered shirt, jeans and a thick vest.
Three hours later they arrived at the inn, the clock showed at 7 pm, they were in a house-shaped inn, had a variety of dinner dishes available.
Daniel handed out the room keys, Rita went straight into his room, the 3-hour trip was quite tiring, he laid his body for a moment on a comfortable couch. Then he remembered Andi's message to preach it as soon as he arrived. He took his cell phone out of his jacket pocket
“Cannot signal!” he complained, and then he came out of his room, and he looked with Daniel
“Daniel, I can't signal!” lamented Rita
“That's because around us there is a mountain, a bit hard wifi, we have to do it manually!”
“Means?”
“There is a special network of phones, but it is only in the main house”
“Away no?”
“Free three houses from here, you want to go there?”
“He uh!” Rita nodded
“Let's go with you, I also have business in the main house.” They both came out of the house and walked down the path, the lighting dimly lit but clear enough to see the path.
“Here Beautiful but haunted”, Daniel said suddenly
“Oh yes? understand yes mountain, certainly many waiting” reply Rita
“Weird yes you are not afraid, ah yes, Andi never told me, you have a sixth sense, so know if lied to ya?”
“Daniel knows brother Andi?”
“I used to be her baby sitter, when I moved here from Korea, I was 19 years old. Andi was 11 years old at that time, he was always invited by grandfather everywhere. Andi always told me about his life in Jakarta, he said it was nice to hang out with Rita, always exciting.” Daniel's Story
“Daniel cooperation grandfather from 19 years old?”
“Iya, but during that time, I was educated by grandfather, even until the end of college, I owe a lot to him
“Are you going back to Korea?”
“Maybe I'll take my mom here!”
“Why not now?”
“Ibuku still has a contract with her salon, until next year, so can not move here.”
“How about Daniel's father?”
“He died of illness, his business failure made him a severe alcoholic. When he came home drunk, he always hit my mother, but the next day he always apologized sincerely, one day, I prevented him from beating my mother, he said, finally I was hit by the blow until my cheek was torn, my mother did not accept my father's treatment, finally they divorced, I went with my mother. Last I heard last year, my father got pancreatic cancer because he was too drunk, his body was found frozen in front of the shop where he was drunk.”
“Sorry, I'm sorry Daniel!” Rita rubs Daniel's back
“This is the first time I've told anyone about my family. True also that Andi said, close to Rita is a lot of positive energy, and we feel comfortable” Daniel smiled sweetly
“Deg!” suddenly Rita's heart was pounding at Daniel's sweet smile
“Why?” he thought, he was trying to take his eyes off Daniel
They reached the main house, because the network was only limited, they were forced to queue.
“Nih Rit, the card, to call using this network using this card, such as pre-pay pulse.” Daniel gives his card to Rita
“Thanks!” Rita took the card and smiled cheerfully
In front of the queue, a boy, tall slender, his hair blonde, his face quite handsome, it seemed that he was a bit annoyed with the person he was talking to on the phone. He hung up the phone rudely and left immediately. Rita's next turn, the guy's card is left on the pay phone.
“Sorry your card is left behind!” Rita gave the card to the boy
With a hesitation the boy took the card from Rita, without saying anything
“Heh!” then he leaves, Rita is not so concerned with the reaction of the person, because in her mind just to contact Andi. A few minutes later, he finished the call and he approached Daniel, who was carrying three sticky oil lamps
“This is for what? Isn't there a generator at the inn?” ask Rita
“It's for preparation, last year night weather deteriorated, gasoline in generator froze, lodging is pitch dark, it will be better if we prepare!” Daniel gives one lamp to Rita, and they return to the inn. When he came out of the inn with Daniel, he heard a voice asking for help
