The Last Cliff's

Chapter 4's

Ssembalun, the name of a beautiful village at the foot of Mount Rinjani, the last village before they actually fought with rock and coral and wild scrub, trying their luck to reach the top of the second highest mountain in Indonesia.4 people are resting after taking a relay air trip from Jakarta to Lombok, they are waiting their turn to shop in a traditional store.

"21 days !" arvine Dowson shouted to Nickolaus Welas.

"#?" Raquella Mae is stunned, throwing her shocked look at Billy, Billy 'the trouble' Williams.

Nickolaus Welas did not escape his surprise, 21 days !? Everyone does not know what is in the mind of Arvine Dowson, why must shopping for supplies for 21 days while to go up and then back down Mount Rinjani only takes 6 or 7 days. But they seem compact to be patient, not suing the efficiency of their leader.

"Prepare 21 full charge power banks and 21 Terra bytes of disk space !" Arvine's orders to Raquella.

"Ga less ?" Syndir Raquella is exasperated.

21 Power bank equivalent to 15 kg and 21 Terra byte disk is equivalent to 2 kg, plus the camera and tripod 15 kg, a total of 32 kg of load will hang on Raquella's back until the journey is over. That's incriminating.

"It's still a minimum ! We need more, because we're gonna be on top of this mountain for at least 15 days" Arvine said.

"15 days ?" Only Raquella expressed her shock at the verbal language, Nickolaus Welas and Billy Williams simply exchanged question mark views. "Why were you there that long ?" Raquella.

Arvine Dowson looked at Raquella, her eyes sharpened the minds of women who had felt part of her life. It is undeniable that Raquella's bravery of suing Arvine Dowson's decision is due to their emotional closeness.

Suddenly Raquella catches the strangeness in Arvine's eyes, there is a hint of ambition and emotion. He found that the eye was no longer dead !

"Is it only on the mountain, his heart alive ? Between the naked sky ? Only inside the bush without civilization, can he live ?" look in Raquella's heart at that time. "it's okay the burden of climbing will I carry, the weight in the body I can still overcome to see it come back to life."

Such was the tomboyish girl's empathy, for the sake of Arvine Dowson, the extra burden was ready to bear. Then he stepped towards the equipment shop not far from their inn.

"Lo's sister, Vin ?" ask Nickolaus Welas shortly after Raquella leaves.

"Yohai ! Troubled girl." sambar Arvine Dowson.

"Haha ... Who's the adrenaline junkie who's not in trouble ?" billy Williams Crispy.

"Gw ga !" argued Arvine Dowson, his laughter expanding.

Nickolaus Welas stood up, as soon as his dirty hands landed on Arvine Dowson's face, with a swipe as if washing his best friend's face, he said: "The worst ! Ha ha ha ha ha ..." Then Nyelonong went after Raquella.

Wry-faced, Arvine Dowson grinned.

"Emang lo haven't been able to move on ?" chase Billy Williams.

"Who said I failed to move on ?" arvine Dowson's.

"Then I am healed too !"

"When did you last sleep, Bill ?"

"Sunday last time, huh ? Ahhaha ...."

"Yep ! Lo's normal, Bill. Just don't get near a mental hospital !" arvine Dowson's reply to Billy Williams, his best friend since college.

Admittedly, the average mountain climber has problems with his personality. And Billy Williams is suffering from a sleep disorder. He did not want to sleep, because if he fell asleep then the nightmare about the quarrel of his parents would soon be present. A quarrel between his father and his mother that culminates in his burning their entire house, costing the entire family except Billy Williams.

Unfortunately, Billy Williams will make trouble with anyone if it has not slept for more than a month. And every problem he made must have led to his stupor, whether because of being hit by a mob, hit by a police baton, or even hit by a vehicle. That's why his best friends dubbed him 'the trouble' (the thing). But, no matter how troubled Billy Williams was, he had the privilege. His tall and muscular body was the greatest hauler machine in the hikers world. Once upon a time, at the Jaya Wijaya mission, he had to carry the body load of other climbers who were injured. The total weight he had to carry at that time was no less than 120 kg, and he managed to carry out the mission unharmed.

"Nicko why, Vin ?" ask Billy Williams.

"To my knowledge, he's an escape."

"You mean ?"

Arvine Dowson turned his head to Billy Williams. There was a doubt as his lips began to speak.

"Ehmmm ... How do you explain it ?"

"Don't you have to settle all the problems between fellow hikers before they start to fight guts between the ravine and the bush ? That's teaching number 1 !" sue Billy Williams, corner Arvine Dowson, force him to explain.

"Nickolaus Welas, as a teenager he was involved in a murder case."

"THE BUSH !!" Billy Williams was gobsmacked while glaring.

"Listen up !" arvine Dowson was shocked by Billy Williams' reaction. "While he's not the perpetrator, he's involved in his captivity. And he was at the scene when the neck beheading happened. Up until now, she was still traumatized, she still often saw the eyes of the man who decapitated her flock-"

"Ikutan goosebumps gw !" cut Billy.

"Either, if you want to kill people, never look into the eyes of your victims ! Berabe ntar ! Nicko's cake." Advice from Arvine Dowson.

"Gw ain't gonna kill nobody !" billy Williams Promise.

"Hey ... Lo man man man ! Sometimes killing is the only sensible option. Although the tip will go into bui." argued Arvine Dowson, "when pressed, a man must choose ... Killed or killed. That's a reality that feminists might reject !" arvine Dowson's tone sounded fiery, provoking a happy smile from the lips of Raquella Mae who was seen walking up to them.

"He escaped bui ?"

"Ngga is ! He's been in prison for 4 years" Arvine Dowson said.

"Ashik really talked about it ? Nimbrung dong !" raquella Mae exclaimed, without excuse she sat between Arvine Dowson's two legs, then leaned her head against the man's chest.

Arvine Dowson was not surprised to see the spoiled act of Raquella Mae, he even began to touch the tip of Raquella Mae's head to tidy up the girl's hair that dangled regardless of her bando ties.

"If she ?" billy Williams asked, he pointed towards Raquella Mae with his gaze.

"He is safe ! She is the bearer of a little piece of my soul." explains Arvine Dowson with a meaningful knot smile.

"Separoh is cool, Mbang !" babes ngasal by Raquella Mae.

"My partner is Clarissa, your sister ! This little piece is for you." replied Arvine Dowson.

"Oh yeah, the other day, after Lo left, Clarissa cried until she fainted" said Raquella Mae with a happy mimic. As hard as his attempt to bury his heart thump, but while in Arvine Dowson's arms, the thump came back to spread peace throughout his body.

"Fainting ?" Arvine Dowson pushed down Raquella Mae's shoulder. "Why didn't you say from yesterday ?"

"He is forbidden ..." regretted Raquella Mae began to be seen from her lips that were woven. Especially when Arvine Dowson finally chose to stand up and walk away to the window, Raquella Mae really regretted her own mouth carelessness, because he knew that every time Clarissa's name was called, the man's eyes would begin to dim and then blur, saving something.

The name emblem reads 'SHANIQUE MILLER' lying on a nightstand, while the owner is dissolving in a dream crib about his teenage years, rubbed restlessly on a springbed bed linen tosca color with a babby's breath flower motif.

The magazine 'Music & Fashion' is lying not far from his thin hands, while the door of his wardrobe opens a little to see how many 'branded' clothes are stored in the closet measuring 6 × 2 meters.

Across the nightstand, stood a dresser that was no less luxurious than the five-star hotel, but the drawers were almost empty, there was only powder and a pair of lipstick and gloss, and an ivory-handled millamine comb.

A doormat with the cartoon character 'Upin' was lying on the marble floor right in front of the bathroom door. A second from the doormat was attached to two boxes where to put dirty clothes, one reads 'WHITE' and the next one reads 'COLOURS'.

The walls of the room are specially coated with soundproofing wallpaper, so that the room owner can freely turn on the ultra dome system in his stereoset which is installed legkap in each corner of the room.

The wall clock pointed to the number 11.23 when the room was opened from the outside.

"Sister Shasa ! Wake, woooy ... It's already this afternoon." said the figure of the little girl with a Japanese face shortly after she entered the room.

The owner of the room was not disturbed, forwarding his beautiful dream to volume 2.

"Basic kebo lo, Brother !" exclaim the girl, then "slereeek ..." The window curtain is busy.

"Look at this, ah ! Close again." lamented Shanique Miller in a lazy voice.

"Sister Shasa's having a book surgery, right ?" the girl reminded.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Shanique Miller while covering her head with a pillow.

"It's noon, brother ! Ntar's late." the girl's voice whined. "Udah at half-twelve !"

"Huh ! My deadline ... Why just woke up, Farah !"

Shanique Miller woke up suddenly, she remembered the deadline from the publisher she had to fulfill. And it's been gone an hour before.

"Kok so I'm wrong ? It's not Shasa's own brother who's been molested for a long time !" reply Farah.

Farah Isuke is her name, a 20-year-old girl, a student majoring in Indonesian literature. Study at Unesa semester 6. He and his 2 friends - Cindy Latuconsina and Fatimah Mahmud - live with Shanique Miller in the Miller family's mansion. A 3-story luxury house overlooking the Java Sea. Formerly the house was the center of gathering of the country's senior-class politicians, often used by party officials to make 'under-hand' deals'. Before the end, Johnny 'the mouse' Miller and wife-Suzanna Miller-who is also Shanique Miller's parents-must flee abroad to avoid the snare of the country's anti-corruption laws.

"I just went to bed at dawn, Farah !" the Shanique Miller protest.

"Helloow ... Because I think about it, is it ?" Farah Isuke Ledek.

Shanique Miller did not reply, she went to the bathroom wearing only transparent mini lingerie wrapped in tight underwear, with no BH on her chest.

"Bc ...! Baby cake ! Slovenly." nyinyir Farah Isuke commented on the nightgown worn by her mentor.

"Based on Nipon, nagging !" Shanique Miller replied as she closed the bathroom door. "Please clean up my bed, yeah ! Please." he continued from the bathroom.

Without answering, Farah Isuke immediately fixed the bed linen and pillows scattered on the mattress. But when he pulled the already tangled bedsheet, gadget was healed from the crease of the bed sheet. The gadget is unlocked, and immediately turns on when pressed the 'activation' button on the right side.

"Well ! How ?" the shock in Farah Isuke's heart. On the screen of the gadget appears a photo of the face of a Yo*tuber who is also very liked. Feeling unethical to keep a close eye on the privacy of the person she greatly admired, the girl decided to put the gadget on a nightstand.

"Kaa-" Fatimah Mahmud's voice choked, her eyes fixed on Farah Isuke's hand. Fatimah Mahmud entered the room without permission because the room was open, she caught her best friend holding a gadget owned by Shanique Miller before putting it on the nightstand.

"Room of lo ?" look at Farah Isuke who seems to feel guilty.

"Hussst !" farah Isuke replied while crossing her index finger in front of her tiny lips.

"What the hell is it ?"

"There's nothing ! Come out, my ntar is clear at the dining table." invite Farah Isuke, his hand series signifies his seriousness when taking his best friend out of the room.

After passing through the lobby space that is a quarter the area of the mansion, Farah Isuke and Fatimah Mahmud have been waiting for Cindi Latuconsina. He was sitting on the very end of the chair, facing the most oval corner of the marble table where their food was served, in his hands tucked away in an old novel by Shanique Miller, the title: 'LOVE : WHITE & BLUE'. The beautiful Dara with the typical ambon manise smile was more intense with her novel than the arrival of her two best friends.

Farah Isuke and Fatimah Mahmud then took a seat in the furthest seat from Cindi Latuconsina.

"Farah ?" Fatimah Mahmud.

"What the hell, Fat ?"

"What did you promise ?" fatimah Mahmud Tagih. He knew Fara Isuke was keeping a secret about their mentor, it must have been an important secret.

"Pssst ! Wait for him to leave." replied Farah Isuke, her face pointing across the table. At that time Cindi Latuconsina was also looking at him, making him more and more drunk, especially when Cindi Latuconsina began to quip: "Ehm ... If two people are whispering, the third person is the devil ! My fate Tan ... Satan !"

"Hehehe ... Maap, Cind !"

"Hm ...." Furious Cindi Latuconsina, then she stood up leaving her chair and walked out of the dining room through the door behind her two best friends with a sour face.

"Elo the hell !" Farah Isuke blames Fatimah Mahmud for the sourness of Cindi Latuconsina's face.

"Cock me, Huh ?" Reply Fatimah Mahmud, the beige hijab virgin refused to be blamed.

"Yaudah, justin ! He knows this secret himself." Farah Isuke's.

After Farah Isuke tidied her hair, in the serious gaze of Fatimah Mahmud, the Japanese girl began to tell stories.

"Do you believe, don't you ? If I tell you that Shasa's sister is Arvine Dowson's fan."

"You mean ... Yo*tuber my future husband ?"

"That's great, Fat ! Mending is the same with me ... Can take a walk to Mount Fuji and stop by the house of in-laws ... Wkwkwkwk !" kanda Farah Isuke's.

"Maybe, Shasa's sister type is not like her, less fashionable and too contemptuous." Reply Fatimah Mahmud.

"But the gadget is filled with photos of bang vinnie, Fat !"

"Massa ?"

"Seriously ! I was shocked too ... Mass appetite brother Shasa same our cake-we ? Cute Baby Line."

"In age, Brother Shasa is almost 30-" said Fatimah Mahmud immediately stopped, his heart was shocked by the voice: "Ehmmm ...."
