SIGITS
PADDING
“ Risya are you ready.” Shouted Sigit from the living room. Finally we decided to go for a hike because Sigit was so pushy. Today's condition looks very good.
The time has shown at 10, we will leave for the Bandung terminal delivered by Arka. I went down the stairs to approach Sigit and Arka. Sigit looks with a bag that contains camping equipment. Sigit used Jeans pants and shirt box – red box pride that deliberately not He buttoned so it looks a layer of red T-shirt that He wore. It used to be when every school we climbed Sigit always wore that shirt. He also uses his special shoes for climbing as well as a red slayer
used on his head.
“ Sorry waiting long.” I said in front of them.
“ Are you guys ready.” Said Arka while embracing the two of us. We walked towards the car.
Sigit and Arka sat in the front and I sat in the back seat. Our car drove up to Garut Guntur terminal. The journey from Bandung to Garut Guntur terminal takes approximately 3 hours. It should only be 2 hours if the trip is smooth. Unfortunately today's trip was very jammed.
“ You sure you only got here?” Said Arka as we were getting out of his car.
“ Yes until here only, after this we will take public transportation, sorry to have inconvenienced you.’ Said Sigit while extending his hand to Arka. We got out of the car.
“ Hearts – hearts yes, I will follow you guys from behind. If something happens, contact me.” Said Arka quietly to me so Sigit wouldn't hear it. Arka hugged me and kissed me on my forehead.
We immediately took public transportation to Cisurupan Village. After arriving at Cisurupan Village we switched to Ojeg base towards the entrance of Papandayan Mountain.
Time is 14:00 wib. We rested for a while in the basecamp just to drink and sit down after that we prayed together before continuing the journey to the climbing route. Sigit set up the camera he brought and recorded each of our trips.
Now we have entered the climbing path there is no longer a smooth paved road that there are only rocks and we are presented with views of – large stones along the way. The smell of the crater is already smelled in this path, we
use the mask that we have prepared so as not to occur respiratory disorders.
After about 1 hour of travel we arrived at POS 1. Here we decided to rest and fill our drinking supplies.
“ Are you good – is fine?” I said to Sigit, his breathing sounds so loud. I'm afraid what happened – what with him.
“ I'm good – is fine, see my body is strong.” Said Sigit while showing his muscles that have shrunk like never before.
After 10 minutes we continued our journey to POS 2, Sigit chose to go through the Extream route to shorten the time not to stay on the road. And if we go through this stream we'll go straight to the dead forest. After 30 minutes of travel we finally arrived at the Salada cottage, to shorten the time we immediately continued the trip without rest.
“ You sure you don't want to rest?” I said as I walked slowly because the road was quite steep and steep.
“ Are you tired? I want soon the sun will set I do not want to miss that moment.” Said Sigit excitedly.
Sigit insisted he wanted to camp at the top of the mountain, whereas basically – people set up tents in Salada huts. 30 Minutes after passing through the dead forest and arrived at the square tegal here looks like a field of flowers Edelweis.
“ Are we going to camp here only.” I said while sitting facing the flowers – Edelweis flowers that swayed in the wind.
“ No Risya, 15 more minutes we get to the top, we will pass the path that others do not know.” Said Sigit who was still excited even though his breathing sounded very tight. It only took us 5 minutes to straighten our legs and just drink. After that we continued our journey to the top of the mountain.
The road is very extraordinary extream, we have to be careful – hearts when stepping foot, plus the rest of the soil slippery due to rain. I feel tired enough to go down a path like this. The air feels more
the cold jacket we use can not warm the cold air at this peak.
Time has shown at 17:00 wib the sky has started to redden the sun has begun to fall. We have finished setting up the tent and gathering twigs to make a bonfire, there is no one else here
it's just the two of us.
We sat on the rock on the edge of the cliff, seen from here a beautiful view, we sat down while accompanied by a cup of warm coffee that Sigit made to warm our bodies.
“ Not in vain – we arrived also at this peak, we can enjoy the sunset as well. Hopefully tomorrow morning we can still enjoy sunrise.” Said Sigit who sat cross-legged, I sat beside Sigit while sipping the coffee He made.
“ Beautiful yes scenery here.” I looked around at the scenery. The red sky adds to the beauty of the view from up here.
“ God has created this beauty for us to enjoy, but He has not created you that wonderful for me to have. Are you too beautiful for me that God will not allow me to enjoy your beauty. If only I had the courage to reveal everything to you, if only I had not been afraid that you would reject me, if only I hadn't been afraid to hurt you, maybe you were already mine. But I'm lucky I don't have you. Because if you're with me, you might not be happy.
I will not be able to make you happy, even now I can only trouble you.
Sometimes I wonder why God is so cruel to me by giving me this disease. But maybe this is a warning for me from him so that I am more grateful, grateful I still have a complete family, grateful I still have treasures. Let's look at the – children in the orphanage, they are just like me sick but they are not as lucky as I am who still have parental affection.” Said Sigit feelingly, I looked into his eyes that were glazed – glass. I can't hear the word – he said so deeply.
He's an amazing man, he's still been able to survive for 6 years against his cancer. Today we sit on the same earth and under the same sky. Will tomorrow always be like this?
The sky is getting dark star – stars are popping up, lights – lights residents who light up look beautiful from up here like stars.
“ Let me make instant noodles.” Said Sgit picking up the small pot I was holding.
“ Are you just mowing instant noodles, where is the instant porridge I have prepared?” I opened the bag and there was only bread, snacks, chocolate and instant noodles.
“ Sorry Risya I left her. I just want to repeat the incident 6 years ago.” Said Sigit sitting in front of the bonfire.
“ You are, I am really worried about your health. Why don't you care about your own body.” I said very upset.
“ There are already you who care about me, so what do I care about myself for. Enough to care about you it makes me happy.” Sigit smiled and looked at me.
“ Hmm, still you can joke in this state.” I approached Sigit and brought him some medicine. Fortunately, the medicine he left behind I found.
“ You why it can be in your bag.” Sigit said in shock when he saw me giving him medicine.
“ Good thing I was lucky to find it while crossing your room.” I said as I reached for his ear.
“ Pain Risya.” Said Sigit rubbing – wipe his ear and redden his lips.
Finally the instant noodles were ready, we enjoyed the simple meal under the faint moonlight as it was covered in black clouds. Stars – stars scattered as if to come talk with us.
After eating we laid our bodies on the green grass, Sigit made his hands a pillow for me. The moon looks very round at the moment. I don't know why tonight is so beautiful.
“ It still feels the same as 6 years ago when we lost both here and separated from the entourage.” Sigit looked at me.
“ Yes, do you remember.” I said looking at the – stars, the other Sigit hand held my hand and placed it on my stomach.
“ Yes on the way here, I already remember it. Sorry to lie to you.” Sigit
“ What we will be able to stare at the same sky again.”
“ If I cannot accompany you to the same sky believe me I will be one of those stars to accompany you from up here.” Sigit's words made me shed tears.
“ Don't tell me that, you will accompany me until we are old later.” My words sucked – sedu. Sigit touched my cheek fine, the air was getting colder even though our bodies had been covered in sleeping bag mats. We purposely did not sleep in the tent so we could see – stars stars.
I hugged Sigit's body tightly and rested my head on his chest that was no longer field, his ribs that had begun to feel when I slept. Sigit occasionally coughed from the cold, his body felt extremely
I kept hugging her so she felt warm.
“ Don't get too close Risya, I'm a normal guy.” Said Sigit who can still joke, but in my heart was scared half to death if it happened what – what to him.
“ Let me not be afraid anymore.” My words continued to tightly hug Sigit's body. Sigit raised my chin slowly.
Our eyes now look at each other, our faces look closer, Sigit's breath now felt on my face. Slowly Sigit continued to bring his face closer and our lips touched. It's really like Djavu. It still feels the same
like my first kiss with her and on the same mountain top.
But why is this like the farewell kiss that He gave me. From his eyes flowed tears. Sigit let go of his kiss and kissed my forehead. I wiped the tears that flowed on her cheeks.
“ Sleep is late at night, tomorrow I will wake you up to see sunrise.” Said Sigit leaning me back on his chest. I can't say what – is at the moment. I began to close my eyes in Sigit's embrace.
