"Yourself! Let's run before it's too late! "

Aries' screams spread his mind. His heart and mind are raging. The sight before his eyes was truly heart-wrenching.

Jhenta ran after aries. Get as far away from them as possible. The wounds given by diamonds are still so pronounced. How the diva should die in front of his eyes still continues to shadow his mind. He no longer wants to be involved with diamond and ade affairs anymore.

Jhenta's footsteps suddenly stopped. His heart is racing. He looked back for a moment.

"Why jhen? " ask aries

"I can't leave him that way. I don't want to lose more. He's human too. Regardless of what he did to me. I don't deserve to pay crime with crime."

"Stupid you jhen! "Aries.

"I can't do that, ris. I gotta get back. We have to help them ris. Not for anyone, but for our conscience"

"Why should we care? They are just as bad as you, right? " said aries.

"Yes, but if we leave them, we are not the same as they are ris." explained jhenta.

"Oh my goodness jhenta!. Ugh....!! ".

They decided to go back and help Diamond. Aries squatting helps ade pull diamonds. The pull was so strong. They really can't see what's pulling diamonds. Intan was crying. Jhenta remembered that there was a match in her pants. Jhenta got up from her place. Turn on the match and direct the match towards the diamond leg. How surprised he was to see what attracted diamonds. It was hard for her mind to believe what she saw.

"Yourself! "

Jhenta ran looking for something to use around them. There were only tree branches around them, but they were too fragile.

"Do you have a knife or something? Sharp objects or something? " ask jhenta there's aries and ade.

"There's my dirpack. Let's take a look. But for what? " said ade.

"Make cuttle". Answer jhenta briefly

"Cut what?!! You want to cut my leg! Crazy you! " said intan furious.

"Eh.. You're like this can belagu.! Not grateful to be back! " nurse aries.

Jhenta took a knife from ade's backpack. Walking with a serious face toward the legs of diamonds. Get ready to point the knife.

"Crazy lo jhenta! Not my leg. I know I was wrong all along. You are selfish to want to be yourself. I'm sorry. Please don't cut my leg! ".

"Your apology I refuse. Do you think that by apologizing you can revive the dead?!" jhenta said slowly but surely.

"I know I was wrong. I promise I won't repeat the same mistake." said Intan

"Slow!".

"Crazy for jhenta! "

Jhenta swung the blade quickly, only once a powerful slash.

"Dreams......!!!!!".

Intan screamed loudly until it sounded almost all over the place.

They noticed exactly what was cut by the jhenta.

"It's not a tree vine, is it? That root, right? "

They're watching closely. Whether the roots or vine of the vines. Jhenta picked it up and put it in an ade bag.

"Let's go again. We can not stay here long, if you want to stay here long please". Aries.

They rushed to follow Aries in the dark. The clock on the jhenta hand shows at 11:00 wib, almost noon but the matahri has not even appeared. Let alone the sun, moon and stars will not appear.

After a while walking down the narrow crevices, they finally returned to the hollow tree of the place that had been lived by Aries.

They're going inside right away. Aries swiftly closed the entrance immediately, even the reproach in the tree was also closed aries. Benar2 is pitch dark in there. They can't see each other.

Jhenta picked up the match she had brought. Trying to find light in the dark. Suddenly aries snatched the match that jhenta was holding.

"There is no light and no sound. Today will be longer" said Aries

"Why? "Ask jhenta curious.

"You wait and listen carefully. Don't say "say aries.

They had been silent for almost two hours. There was only the sound of the wind roar and some animal sounds intertwined.

"I can't stand it if it has to be dark gini! Frowsy! " pronounce the diamond while reaching for the match d jhenta's hand.

Intan lights a match in his hand to find a candle or something that can be lit to illuminate the space.

"Kkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! "

The sound surprised everyone. They were silent.

"Turn out the matches!!!" shouted aries.

Intan was shocked to immediately turn off the match in his hand. They were silent. In an instant, there was a noise outside. Strange sounds like something was being dragged. Aries covered his ears. It seemed like the voice caused a deep trauma for him. Jhenta approached aries and tried to calm him down.

The voices slowly moved away from their place. Silence comes to cover. So quiet without a sound. Aries got up from his seat. Lighted some tree branches in an artificial furnace in front of them.

"What was that noise? Why do you deny us the light? "Ask intan.

"If you want to die, please light the light!". Aries ketus.

"I'm fine with you! " said intan furious.

"Udah.. Hitherto.. Don't fuss. We'll find out". Jhenta's words are soothing.

They sit around the fire. Jhenta noticed the clock in her hand still showed at 13.00 wib. It's still daytime but it's still dark outside.

"I don't know what that sound is. Obviously half of my friends died because of that" Aries began the story.

"You can't tell me how you guys got here? "Ask jhenta.

"It was the same as what Jhenta heard. Strange noises. But not just one person. Some of us. I am one of them. The sound was disturbing morning, day and night. So we decided to find out where the sound came from and we ended up here. Two days, everything looks normal. The third day one of our friends went missing, lala. We found him all day not to see each other. The next day he came back by himself. We are just like you, looking for a way out. We walked on but didn't see the end either. The next day lala slashed her own wrists in front of us, but she did not die. We panicked for a moment and tried to help him. We tied him to a tree. He laughed out loud and said that we would all die here. Suddenly the sky became dark as in the movies. We thought it was cloudy. But it's getting darker and darker until we can't see anything. We went in each other's tent and lit a bonfire. At that time me and three friends were in charge of collecting dry twigs. The light of the campfire helped. But a voice like that appeared and grew more and more rowdy. All of them were fined and near the bonfire no one could be saved. Lala too. I, angga, please retreat away from that place, but Rama does not want to retreat. Suddenly something pierced his chest and dragged him towards the bonfire. The three of us kept running away. We'reseparated. I found this place by accident. I hid here until the sun was shining again. The next day I looked for two of my friends. But they're damn bad. Just stay me alone. Days, weeks, months trying to survive here. Studying everything here until I forget how many years it's been. I almost gave up on my life until I finally met Jhenta. I thought I was alone. Then I met you all."
