They were getting ready to leave the place. Aries will guide them to find a way out because he knows the best conditions there.

"Okay, we start with that banyan tree. I'll tell you the reason why we've been just going around in circles here". Aries

They're walking right behind the Aries. They passed through a place they had never been through. Jhenta's face still looks gloomy. I don't know what he's thinking. Maybe last night's events really shook his mind.

They continued walking until the big banyan tree. The tree looks ordinary in the morning. It looks like a tree in general.

"I ask of you no one to run later, it could be your friend is here" said Aries.

"What do you mean? "Ask ade.

"You'll know for yourself later. I'm asking you not to panic. Maybe you've heard of myths about trees that mislead people. This is one of them. And here are also nine of my friends disappeared." explained aries.

"Take care of his core. Why convoluted" said ade.

"OKAY. Follow my path. "Aries's love.

They follow aries' orders. They circled the tree three times but in different directions from the clock.

Three full turns non-stop.

"Nothing is made! Same thing, what difference? " ask ade again.

"For you there may be nothing, but look up." pinta aries.

They put their heads up on that tree. Instantly the view changed. Their bodies were shaking in fear. Cold sweat flooded their bodies. The Diva immediately felt nauseous seeing what was in front of them. Ade's face immediately turned pale. Jhenta just lowered her head.

They did not expect that they would see such a sight. They really do not expect that in just three rounds everything will change clearly. A truly heartbreaking sight.

Their eyes were fixed on one point.

"Shy! It's ninda! That's ninda" cried diamond.

"That's nita next door" diva added.

"No way, none of this is possible! " say cece.

"This is the reality you must see and accept. "Aries.

"No way. This is impossible. It's not real. Let's turn it three more times" he said.

"Free, want you to spin hundreds of times even though you will not return to the past. I tried many times. Every time I turn around. For three years now, I've only returned to the same age. I tried to go back before I saw all of this. But I can't" said Aries.

"Toloooo......... "

They were astonished, the voice came from ninda's voice.

"That's ninda, she's alive" said cece

"That's not ninda, that's the illusion this tree creates. They seem to live. They are dead" explained Aries.

"But that's ninda. We have to help him" Cece added.

"We can't help him anymore. He's dead." ketus aries.

The sight was so scary. The banyan tree was truly alive. Bodies hung on the roots of the tree. The nine students who disappeared three years ago were there. Nita and ninda were hanging there. The roots of the tree pierced through their chests. Some were wrapped tightly around their necks. There are also those that split in two. What a terrible sight.

"Let's get out of here. Before nightfall. Danger if it's night. Even afternoon I can not guarantee you" said Aries.

They follow Aries' footsteps. Ninda and nita were there. They were not very keen on watching the tree. There is a figure that they do not realize is there.

The brand keeps running opposite to the sun. Even walking opposite to the wind. For almost a few hours they kept walking. Aries always change their course. They finally reached the river.

"We'll rest here." said Aries

They all rested near the river. Jhenta sat a little far away from them. The memories of that night were still in his mind.

Aries sits next to Jhenta.

"About what? "

"What you saw and heard last night" said Aries.

Jhenta just fell silent. He opened the water bottle. And open a bag of bread.

"Trust me, I've seen more horrible. When they die one by one in front of my eyes" said Aries as he walked leaving jhenta alone.

Aries walked towards jhenta's friends.

"You guys make camp here. We camp here tonight. It's the safest place besides where I live." said Aries.

They set up tents on the riverbank. It's getting late. The sun began to slowly hide behind the leaves. Hopefully hurry up to start the campfire and prepare for dinner. Jhenta and diva just finished bathing after diamond and cece. They are ready to help others.

"According to my estimation of staying a little longer we can get out of this place. We just need to find a way. A road we have never seen and we have been through" Aries said.

"You sure? " ask jhenta.

"I'm sure, all the roads we've been through I've explored. I'm sure if we follow this river we'll find that way. We can." explained aries

They sit around the fire. Enjoying a nice dinner. Jhenta looked around. Intan and Ade are not there. They disappear. Jhenta wondered where she went and diamond. He left the campfire, walked slowly. From a distance clearly visible ade and diamond who was chatting. Jhenta walked slowly, trying closer to hear what they were talking about. Jhenta hid behind a tree not far from the two of them.

"I wonder at you. Why don't you just let the jhenta die there. You said you'd leave him for me. Then why do you become the hero of all!." said diamond

"I know. But my heart can't see him anytime why. I want him to have this relationship for a long time. You should have known my position dong. All this time I had a hard time helping Jhenta. He has done a lot for me." said Ade.

"How do we continue our relationship? We are fiancee de.! You're my fiancee. We have been in this relationship secretly. I'm tired of playing cat-kissing ma jhenta". Diamond speech

"You can be patient. After this is over I'll leave him." said ade

"Patience continues. We have been in this relationship for over a year. I sacrificed everything for you. I'm willing to follow you here, even everything you want me to love, without exception." said Diamond again.

"Yes yes. I promise, once we get out of this godforsaken place, I'll leave jhenta." Ade explained.

"Why wait. Now only!."

The appearance of jhenta shocked ade and diamond. They were really surprised to see the jhenta there.

"I can explain jhen." said Ade

"Udah! No need for explanation anymore. I heard everything". Jhenta lirih.

"What you hear is not true. I can clear it. I'm not serious about our relationship". Ade

"Yet you finally admit to having a relationship with this woman" jhenta growled.

"That's just a saying without proof. Don't misunderstand me." added Ade.

"Just what you said!! Then what do you do for a day with him you call what!!! You don't think I know what you did behind my back yesterday!! I was wrong it turns out that I have believed in you all the time." said Jhenta

"Udah is his drama. Garing tau's. Now you know our relationship. Bagusan lo go all the way." said diamond ketus.

"Baseless women do not know themselves!! I consider you as my best friend!! I'm actually nyesel"jhenta harrum.

"That's your mouth on guard! You should realize, from the beginning lo it does not match ade! Why didn't you die yesterday. Let's finish our business!!" ketus.

Jhenta was no longer able to speak. That diamond talk really hurts. Jhenta immediately ran away leaving the two of them.

"Youto!! Wait for.. "Shouted ade.

"You did it again! Let's not be pursued". Diamond said to hold ade away.

Ade simply fell silent letting go of jhenta from before him.
