The INDIGO'S

Towards the bamboo forest

Rain has drenched the earth with a heavy, papa car speed was slightly slowed because of heavy rain conditions make visibility slightly reduced ,the white smoke coming out of the paved streets also requires papa to be more careful .

"this is far away ma'am's place ?" ask mama who is no less tense with me

"in the meantime, Mom, tea in front there is a fork later we take the road to the left, then there is an alley or gate, we enter the gate" said Bu Fuji explained

Papa looks focused on watching the road while maybe Bu Fuji wonders in his heart about mama and papa who instead come looking for and worrying about Aranta . Seen from the look on the face of Bu Fuji who seemed to occasionally glance at mama or papa in the front seat, while Bu Fuji in the middle seat, me and Riswan sat in the back seat ,lucky papa brought a Toyota Alphard car so we could get in without crammed .

"this gate?" tanya papa stopped the car in front of the archway

"yes sir, we tea later enter this gate, later at the end of the road we all go down because the tea car can not enter, we walk to follow the path " replied Bu Fuji

"why did his rich mother memorize the territory?" asked Riswan suddenly

"oh..it is tea is the mother of the original Bandung people, mother is also still a girl who likes to play to the village so tea knows the ins and outs of her ,all the places in Bandung, you know Riswan" Bu Fuji replied

"oh yes, good at least we will not stray there" said Riswan again

"well, bismillah.

I glanced at my watch still at 21:50, meaning there was still time, I was sure the dream was not just an ordinary dream, but a clue for me to find Aranta, ' he said ,I called the police to follow us immediately .

Slowly papa forward his car entered through the gate, seen the houses already look deserted because the occupants have entered the house , but there are some of his male residents who are still outside the house , they look like they are talking and chatting while continuing to blow white smoke from burning cigarettes.The rain also seems to subside and just leave a speck .

Papa stopped his car when there was a portal blocking, one of the residents approached to lift the portal, with a friendly smile the fathers raised the portal while nodding their heads ,then papa gave the money one sheet of ten thousand .

"excuse me, sir, a passenger through "said papa while thrusting the

"awhile sir I took his change first" said the fathers were about to run towards his house

"it's okay sir, there's no need, I'm in a hurry" said papa stopped the steps of the fathers

"indeed the father went where, this road there is no canal sir, only the garden and forest at the end of the road" said the father

"we want to find my son, there's a clue that our son was kidnapped and taken to the forest at the end of this road, justify there is a bamboo forest ?" ask papa

"that is true sir, even part of the forest of bamboo trees all "the father replied

"waduh if I did not do it, it was fitting that I returned from the market a lot of cars that entered and exited this village, whether they were the kidnappers, or not,but why the citizens no one reprimanded them when entering this village "the father murmured

"yes, if you'll excuse me sir " said papa

"alright, then I will also send people to help because the forest also includes our territory, so we will take responsibility" he said again

"Alhamdulillah.then thank you sir, excuse me, assalammualaikum" said papa and then returned to running the car.

"walaikum salam pak ,may the father quickly found "

"Amin "say we agree

papa also drove the car and followed this hollow road to the footpath at the end of the road .

Until finally we get to the end of the road papa stopped the car .

My forehead creased when I saw some parked cars.

"why is this tea a lot of nice car parks on the edge of the forest like this" murmured Bu Fuji

"Mom..it looks like in there will be very dangerous, you better just wait here , later there will be citizens who come" said I.

"yes ma'am, we will not know what will happen in the forest there , we better wait here" said Mama also

"you know very well if I want to tell you to wait" said papa staring warmly at mama

"yes I know, you will definitely not allow me to enter, whatever way I persuade you I will still not get permission" replied Mama

"good is that my wife, the more dear I am" said papa, grabbing her hand and peeling her

"chem...."

"pa...ayo.we're in a precarious state again "excited I stopped the sweet scene mama and papa ,while Bu Fuji he saw his behavior was wrong to see a married couple in front of him

"please be careful, mas.kaga kiddies, you must return safely and take Aranta with you" said mama before we got out of the car.

"yes, of course dear, you are also careful especially Wowo is not currently with us, if there is anything, quickly contact me" said papa peeking mama's forehead

"but I'm here" said bang Popo suddenly appearing in front of the windshield with his head down

"Yes Allah.Where the kuntilanak Bu" Bu Fuji looked surprised because the mother suddenly shouted, he looked left right and around.

"eh .. no kok Bu, no kuntilanak" said mama grimacing, I and Riswan only smile but even though I smile but my heart still feels anxious

"yes we've all three entered the forest yes, you promise be careful, bang Popo take care of my wife" said papa after we got out of the car

"who ?" Bu Fuji dyed

"not anyone ma'am, ma.we go pray for us, assalammualaikum" said I.

"greetings waalaikum,....."

We also began to step our feet towards the forest, muddy and slippery land makes our steps a little difficult because a little bit of tread was able to make sure we will definitely slip and fall .

The sound of crickets and other night animals sounds earthy . Trees and leaves look wet from the rain that was flushed until the water droplets hit our bodies .

The sound of an owl sounded as if it was close to us, so Riswan finally jumped after seeing a pair of red eyes seemed to light up looking at us .

"Allahu Akbar" Riswan embraces papa's arm

"what the hell is just an owl you're afraid of" said papa

"an owl yes.." murmured Riswan while watching the tree branch where the owl perched.

"oh ...iya yes... hehehehe...." Riswan chuckled, I shook my head by continuing to step my legs

Now I, Riswan and papa are already in the garden residents, seen from the plants that grow on the right left side, the plantation is quite wide , we continue to walk down the muddy road ,I don't mind my shoes getting dirty from the dirt and mud hitting them .

Plantation residents have passed now we walk in the forest with a lot of Alba trees, may deliberately planted residents because the distance from one tree to another tree looks neat, neat,the weeds did not even appear.

I lyrics Riswan who increasingly close his body to papa when seen some white figure standing between the trees .

We walked past those figures .

"good night mbak-mbak ..sorry ride through , excuse me " said I bowed the body when passing through them

"basis.." muttered papa looking at my behavior

At the end of the road I sighed at Papa and Riswan, we nodded and entered the forest together, saying bismillah, and praying in our hearts .

the darker the situation after arriving in the forest, the deeper the more dense the bamboo tree, the bamboo grove that grows on the left-right side also looks like a hallway , ' he said ,undeniably there is a horror in my heart when I see the path that seems to shrink and dark at the end of the road there .

"huuuuuhhhh.." I exhaled.

with various prayers I recapitulate in my heart I step my feet, the shadow in my dream makes me speed up the steps, my breath is increasingly hunting with d*da who felt claustrophobic as the shadow continued to dance in my mind .Papa and Riswan did not say much or ask questions .

Until I finally fell silent with a breath of breath when I saw a reddish-yellow light about two hundred meters ahead there, exactly like in my dream .

"Yes Allah......."

"what's up ?" ask papa

"that's probably Aranta over there, it's exactly like my dream pa...Riswan .. come ..before it is too late "I move in the darkness of the night no matter my body is scratched twigs or thorns from plants, what is in my head at this time is to save Aranta .

The astral figure in my dream was also seen standing staring at the crowd of black hooded people .A chant that makes my head dizzy because I don't understand it makes my hair stand up .

"what are they doing ?" riswan whispers

"they are doing a ritual, we are getting closer, but slowly don't let them know" I whispered and asked Papa and Riswan to crouch down and slowly approached

"then what are we gonna do?" whispered Riswan asked

"we're looking at Aranta, no matter how "answer me

When I was, papa and Riswan were trying to get to the bush I saw a long, glittering object being pointed up

Degs....

"can't be ........"
