Spacewalk
I closed the bathroom door, then approached the washbasin mirror and turned on the tap water. Washing my face and looking at the reflection in front of the reflection.
While pulling the corner of my lips, I re-imagined how much I was shocked by the impulsive act that the duck had done last night.
Really do... He is unpredictable.
Flashback..
"That's the crater what's the number? " Tanya Pela, she was very excited.Getting a view of the crater in front of us.
"Kawah Ratu..kawah main in the TWA area of Mount Tangkuban Parahu and is the largest crater among other craters in this area."
"The shape is rich in large bowls with a depth of crater about 500 meters from the surface of the crater.You know what? The water-like liquid on the bottom of it could change color from its origin to blue, green, to gray. White steam is also blowing from the fissure in the crater wall.."
"The steam is dramatic, right?Rich there is a mystical aura.. " Said, smiling and staring at me.
"Mhmmm.. "
"If there's a crater? "
"Upas Crater..We can walk down the lips of the Queen's Crater..Are you tired? Wanna there? less than 45 minutes drive.." I said, pulling his hand.
"Why is it called an upas crater? "
"The mention of Upas crater actually hints the upas power or can, alias poison that can be deadly.Each visitor must obey the rules that apply and not too close to this crater."
"There is another, Domas Crater has a hot spring with a temperature of 980-1500 Celsius, and there are also small ponds to just soak the feet.In fact, it is believed to be able to cure various diseases, such as ringworm, and, panu and rheumatism."
"This crater is much closer to the main gate than Queen's Crater."
"That means can boil eggs in a hot pool dong? " Ask again while chuckling.
"could.. You want to go there too? "
"You ain't it?"
"Lumayan..Must go up and down the stairs, about 40 minutes walk there.. "
"Gga deh. I'm a little tired too, a little nauseous. Maybe because I was late eating! "He grimaced and held his stomach.
"What do you want to eat?Are you lager again? " Tanyaku. Earlier.. I forgot, we're late for lunch.
"Pengen drink that anget.. Can ya?"
"Come on.. " I also took her to a stall that was around the crater. Not so continue walking towards the upas crater.
"What do you want to order? " I asked, seeing him cupping his hands together, like cold.
"Bandrek or ginger milk.. "
"Eat her? "
"Titanium oncom.. "
"Udah? "
"Udah.. Before we came here we ate! "
I ordered the shop owner's mother, and then sat down next to Pela.
There was a burning feeling, traveling alone with her gave me another impression that made me happy.
"You cold? " I asked, and I immediately grabbed her hand.
He looked at me very closely, and our fingers were intertwined.
"I want to tell a legend about Mount Tangkuban Parahu... " He turned his face away, trying to take my hand off, maybe in shame.
"About a child who loves his own biological mother the same? because he was angry, he kicked the boat. Form a rich mountain boat.hehhe that childhood we believe... " I said, remembering that very famous legend.
"Dad, really. I also really want to, like the story of the same mother... I once promised to invite me to play here with Dawn. "
"If geographically, first Mount Tangkuban Parahu began to build itself from the Caldera of Mount Sunda 90,000 years ago. Continued in the range between 90,000 - 40,000 years ago erupted, thus producing several craters."
"Two of them are large . namely Upas Crater and Queen's Crater. Two craters are side by side, directed west-east. The shape of the peak of Mount Tangkuban Perahu is like an overturned boat because of the two craters that side by side."
"Oh yeah? hahaha.I used to believe that I was a little because of the boat that was kicked! " The sailor laughed, displaying his tidy teeth.
If he smiles or laughs like this, the image of the tomboy and his bars is gone in my eyes.
"Geographer T. Bachtiar, Seen from the west, not like an upside-down boat, seen from the east is not like a boat as well and especially when viewed from the north, not at all in the form of an upside-down boat,"
"So that means, the shape of the boat upside down will only be visible from the south, in Lembang. While from the north, this mountain is not at all visible due to obstructed wall caldera of Mount Jayagiri."
"Yeah too.. Meaning strong guess, the person who first composed the legend of Mount Tangkuban Parahu, with the main character Sangkuriang same Dayang Sumbi must have lived south of the mountain...So every time you can see the shape of the mountain whose peak is flat richly beheaded..." Again Pela chuckled.
And I'm fascinated.
"Mhhmm.The name is also a legend .Must not have been much related to historical events...Trus the origin of the place is peppered with stories about miracles, devotion, the essence of the character's specialties. "
"It's her drink neng.sama her glutinous. " The shop owner's mother, carrying a tray containing two glasses of bandrek and two plates containing sticky rice seasoned by oncom.
"Nuhuun.. " Say us at the same time.
"Later on. Don't drink right away! " District me, when you see Pela grabbing a glass and going to drink it. "Here I blow! " I took a glass in Pela's hand.
"Eehhh no! don't blow it.. Can't! "
"Why? " I scrunched my forehead.
"Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam forbade breathing in a container, or blowing food in the container. "(H.R at-Tirmidhi).
"A study also found evidence that in the food blown there are fungi species Candida sp. and Saccharomyces sp. In addition, the carbon dioxide content of the exhale also aggravates the condition of hot foods and drinks."
"The chemical reaction is gini, if water vapor from the heat of food reacts with carbon dioxide from oral vapor it will form carbonic acid compounds that are acidic. This carbonic acid disrupts the pH in the blood, making the body easily exposed to free radicals."
"But there are still many who do not know.. " Next again.
We both enjoyed the meal while chatting about things.
"Come with! " I said, fixing my shoelaces.
"Where? "
I also took her to a souvenir place that lined up near the stall area.
"Wear this. You're cold! " I put on a scarf made of knit that is being leased by the sellers.
"How much mang? "
After making a sale and purchase transaction, I also approached Pela who was looking at other souvenirs.
"You bought a scarf too? " Sanya while saving souvenirs in the form of key chains and glass globes.
"Dad.you are pink. I am blue..! You want to buy this hanger? " I grabbed the keychain that was held by Pela.
"Don't do it. What do you do! "
"Make mementos we've both been here! you're one.I'm one! "
I bought the hanger and paid for it.
Hanging hanger with heart shape in Pela bag. And then put a key-shaped hanger in my bag.
"To me whose heart is part.. ga want akh, lebay! This is us getting rich couplean.. " Remember the Sailor, and he almost opened the rope.
Whereas earlier with sparkling eyes, he held the keychain while smiling.
"Don't open it! If you open.. "
"What? if I open why? "
"If it opens ..." I punched Pela's nose, and she thrashed.
"Awww.. sakiit.. iihh gajeee!Hayuu's home! " The bellhop is walking in front of me.
Sailor..
It's a simple.. It was just a key chain.
But..You can never open your heart to someone other than me.
Because I locked you in.
