The Lost In The Nightmare

The Disappearance

...NIGHTMARE 8'S...

...The Disappearance of Someone...

"Novi's missing!" said Sandi with a convincing tone, and certainly the words he made successfully made Jendi aghast.

Jendi tried to convince him that he did not hear wrong or at least this scene is still included in one of his dreams. "W-what? Did I hear wrong?"

Sandi straightened her body that had been lying down to sit, and immediately opened a zipper located on one side of the tent he occupied. The tent was perfectly open and could be seen Fitri sitting together outside his tent.

"Please tell the others about this matter, immediately!" sandi's command is being hit by a feeling of worry that is blowing out, so it can not regulate his emotions.

"Yes!" Fitri immediately went to his other friend's tent in a hurry.

"Joint, quick, we need to find Novi right now!" Sandi prepares the equipment she will use to search for Novi. A flashlight, is the most preferred thing in a situation like this.

Seeing his friend who was busy with preparing his equipment, Jendi also offered to help his friend. "Let me help you." Responding to a nod from his interlocutor, he immediately helped him quickly but remained calm.

After all his needs had been obtained, the two of them immediately came out of the tent, and, where the campfire is still burning small –smaller than Novi saw a moment ago –and the wind was blowing with a breeze.

Fitri ran towards his other friend's tent. He prefers to go to Rizal's tent and Jihan is located. With a hunting breath, Fitri stepped foot which in the end he reached in front of the tent of the two people he meant.

"Rizal, Jihan.. Get up!"

Jihan who was wrestling with her dream came to her senses, and opened her eyes several times before she replied to Fitri. "What's up, Fit? Why are you yelling like that?"

With a gasp of breath, Fitri answered Jihan's question. "Shan. Novi, Novi…"

Curiosity ripples within Jihan, with Jihan's hands slowly passing through a vacuum above Rizal's still sleeping body and reaching for a zipper, which she is still in, then it was opened so completely that a girl with white irises was sitting on the ground outside her tent.

Impatient with Fitri's words, Jihan asked the question a second time. "What's up with, Novi?"

Fitri took a deep breath, and said, "Novi disappeared, Ji. Novi disappeared!" fitri shouted that in the end made Rizal wake up from his deep sleep, but his eyes were still closed.

Hearing the biting statement from Fitri made Jihan widen her eyes as wide as possible.

"Novi's missing? It's impossible." said Jihan, shaking her head slowly. His last words only sounded like a mere murmur.

Rizal who had heard with the incense of their conversation, raised his eyelids and tilted his head to look at Jihan's expression. "You why? What's going on?"

"Zal.. Novi is missing!" jihan said which made Rizal stunned to hear the statement.

"Novi disappeared?" Rizal repeated the words Jihan said to ascertain whether she heard wrong or not.

Jihan nodded her head quickly for several times. "True, Zal.." Her tears were no longer able to be weathered anymore because of the shock that hit her. Confused, and not knowing what to do.

Rizal's hand moved to stroke Jihan's upper arm, trying to calm her feelings. "Here you go, calm down. How about we go look for it? Agreed?" invite Rizal against Jihan only answered a small nod by her.

"Alright, now I'm going to tell Kurnia," just a few steps from Fitri's tent away from Rizal and Jihan, a voice requiring her to stop her steps and turn her body around.

"Wait, Fitri," exclaimed Rizal as he sat his body that had been lying down. "let me tell Kurnia." rizal's more direct request to an order to make Fitri back closer to their tent.

"Good!"

Before Rizal left the tent, Rizal saw Jihan's condition first.

Still crying, he thought.

He immediately patted Jihan's head with one of his hands. "Calm yourself, Ji."

Rizal also moved from the place he was sitting at to exit – which is where after Rizal came out of his tent, he came out of his tent, Fitri immediately entered into Jihan's tent in place of Rizal and did as Rizal ordered him.

When Rizal came out, his onyx eyes caught two people who were already outside the tent, namely Sandi and Jendi. One of them both opened his voice. "Zal, Novi –" said Sendi wanted to tell, but has been cut by Rizal.

"I already know." Rizal turned his face away from the two of them and immediately passed towards the tent where Kurnia was.

Without a second thought, Rizal unzipped the tent cover and immediately shook the body of Kurnia who was asleep in her abstract style.

"Stupid, wakeup!"

Unable to improve with the first step, Rizal replaced it with the second step in waking Kurnia. "Wake up, you idiot!"

With his leisure, he lifted his hand high and lifted it on one of Kurnia's cheeks.

As a result, Kurnia was surprised while changing her sleeping pose to sit with Rizal's red hand tattoo on her left cheek.

"What are you doing, man? Sick knows! Basic inhumanity!" said Kurnia frontally to channel what she felt in her heart now, regardless of the feelings of the interlocutor now.

Rizal grunted in annoyance. "You know? I woke you up but you didn't wake up at all, wasting your energy. And..."

Rizal clasped Kurnia's hand, making the owner of the hand held slightly flushed even though he was aware that he was also a man. "And we need to get out immediately to find the missing Novi."

Without thinking about the feeling of 'victim'nya, Rizal pulled the hand that he had held to exit the tent by force – which means inevitably have to want –no matter that his treatment made Kurnia become dragged made.

"DUDE, SLOW DOWN! KNOW THE PAIN, DON'T YOU?"

Realizing that Rizal's hand had taken off the grip on his hand, Kurnia immediately stood up with a stopover while patting the dirty part of his clothes because of the incident.

"Can you slow down, Zal? You think it's nice to be treated like that?" Kurnia's eyes caught two other figures besides the two of them.

"Shandi, Joints, what are you doing outside?" kurnia's astonished expression overflowingly adorned her face which became even more foolishly made.

The question that Kurnia asked honestly, made Rizal pat his own forehead quite hard. "Don't I tell you in the tent, Kur?"

"Huh? Where do I know.. end you tell me very quickly, where can I tell?" Kurnia fused her eyebrows together.

Looking at the scene of the conversation the two of them made Sandi and Joints sigh long simultaneously. "Kur, Novi has disappeared" Sandi rubbed his forehead with the fingers of his right hand.

"WHAT? NOVI'S MISSING? HOW CAN?"

Here can be seen among them all Kurnia reaction is the most amazing. As of... Sandi and Jendi widened both eyes in shock by Kurnia's excessive reaction.

Because of his annoyance, Rizal clenched Kurnia's head with all his strength.

BLEED IT!

"Can 'can your reaction not be that exaggerated, Kur?" All his fingers he sounded without exception because he was furious with the stupid nature of Kurnia which was really outrageous. Eve lust wants to pounce on him also surrounds the entire body Rizal.

"Tu-wait, Zal... slow, man... OK?" A crisp Kurnia Laughter oozed out from her mouth as she fiddled her hands forward, towards Rizal.

"Here you two are, rather than you doing useless things, how about you take a flashlight and a spare battery, if you bring it." said Jendi as she left her waist.

"Rober!" kurnia answered while giving her right thumb.

Kurnia immediately returned to her tent to pick up the flashlight that was still inside her backpack with a small run.

"Don't forget to take Fitri's flashlight, huh?" exclaim Sandi answered by the thumbs up Kurnia into the air without looking back.

While Rizal returned to the tent casually while putting both hands into his pants pocket.

"Ji, you don't cry anymore, we'll meet Novi later, believe me?" Fitri tried to calm Jihan who now did not cry anymore.

His hand moved to remove the remains of his tears. "Thanks, Fit. You are a good friend." A smile adorned his cheerful face again.

"Damn…"

The owner of the name who felt his name was called also raised his head to see who had mentioned his name. "Oh, you're Zal... What's wrong?"

"Hurge up, we'll find Novi now." His body moved to get inside the tent and opened his backpack to pick up the flashlight he was carrying from home.

"As soon as you take your flashlight, I'll be waiting for you outside."

After Rizal was outside back, his mouth again said something. His body turned its back on them both.

"Oh yeah, one more thing, your flashlight has been taken by Kurnia, so you don't have to bother to pick it up." Rizal just passed by after saying it to Fitri.

"Un." said Fitri who felt the message was conveyed by him, nodding his head.

Fitri turned her head from where Rizal was in the direction of Jihan who had started moving to take her flashlight. "Ji, I'm out first, yeah…"

Jihan glanced at Fitri who came out and ran small away from her tent through the tail of her eyes.

"Novi... Where are you?" His cheerful face now returned moody for a moment.

.......

...+++~Lost~++...

.......

When everything has gathered outside the tent –to be exact near the bonfire which if seen soon will dim –Sandi announced 'for what they were awakened', 'for what they gathered', until 'why should they go look for Novi'.

Oh yes, and not to miss Sandi told Fitri to tell him what happened before Novi left the tent with his 'reason. Sandi also chimed in on the conversation between him and Novi before Novi finally left and did not return until now.

Sandi circulated her gaze into the forest accompanied by the darkness of the night and the wind that was blowing increasingly louder. His head was raised up so that he could see the moon shining with a perfect circle, adding a beautiful impression on him.

His iris again looked at the iris of his other friend's eyes in turns. "Then the search for Novi begins now." Sandi emphasized the word 'now' as she spoke.

Password turned around and walked towards the forest – which may have been passed by Novi a moment before. "We will look for it not far from the area around our tent, because it is impossible Novi to urinate far from the territory of our tent."

One by one they began to follow Sandi from behind.

"Effort not to be separated or scattered, yes!" The joint that was right behind Sandi tried to remind her friends who were behind her.

Note: I will explain the list of names in this line starting from the front: Sandi, Joints, Fitri, Jihan, Rizal, and the last one is... Kurnias.

The rocky road and tall weeds they had passed together to find a figure of their female friend who seemed to disappear swallowed by the Earth.

But the problem is, already half an hour passed their efforts still have not produced satisfactory results.

Their heads remained steadfast looking left and right at the road they were walking on while shining the light of the flashlight –the only illumination they brought –while hoping in their hearts that they would find him as soon as possible perhaps it was because fatigue had enveloped all of them.

"NOVII!"

"NOVI!"

"NOVI, WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE ANSWER!"

"ALPHA…!"

"COME ON, NOV... WHERE ARE YOU?"

"NOVI.. ANSWER!"

Each of them busied his mouth to shout the name of his friend who disappeared, in contrast to Rizal. Easier and energy efficient, right?

The once thin cloud of the night had now turned into a thick, dark blob, covering the moonlight that shone brightly on it.

The black clouds that had successfully taken power over the sky began to drip water that had accumulated a lot in his large body.

Automatically, their activities are slightly hampered by rainwater that falls on them without pity, and also resulted in them having to speak in a loud voice and a little –or if it can be fully –shouting.

Their footsteps stopped for a moment.

"Oh, Goddamn! It's raining!" Sandi's two hands squeezed while the hair that was on top of her head with all her might and then stomped back both hands.

"How is this, San? Did we just stop looking for Novi?" asked Kurnia who walked closer to Sandi slowly because the soil conditions they incandescent now have been slippery due to rain water that suddenly fell just like that.

Sandi squinted her eyes at Kurnia next to her. "No! We need to find Novi se-ka-rang!" the word Password is firm and seems to be full of the meaning of sentence-coercion-not-directly.

Joints shake their heads. "Natural conditions now do not allow us to search Novi easily," Joints stared at the sky with a difficult to interpret gaze. "It's bad."

The words of Joints make Fitri stupefied. "bad? What's so bad?"

The joints change the position of the head to directly look at the owner of the amethyst iris. "The rain will continue for a few days and." Joints turned his face towards Sandi who had been watching him. "There will most likely be storms around the mountains, especially in the forest."

The sentence that Joints uttered made Sandi's eyes slightly widened. "After all we have to keep looking for Novi" Sandi broke firmly in his present goal.

Not only Sandi, even Fitri and Jihan who heard this bad statement from Joints were stunned.

"You're kidding, aren't you, Sen? What about the storm Novi? She must be cold and –dan.." said Jihan with a little stammering at the end of her sentence.

Fitri hugged her friend, who was beset by overwhelming worries, trying to calm her down. "Here you go, Ji... Novi must be fine, he's a strong boy, right?"

"But…"

A hand patted one of Jihan's shoulders. "Don't negative thinking, Ji." Rizal again lowered his hand that he had used to pat Jihan on the shoulder.

Kurnia nodded her head in agreement with Rizal's words. "not only are you worried, but all of us here are worried too, right?" Kurnia looked at the friends around her one by one and answered with a nod.

Seeing the response from his companions made Jihan look a little smiling. "Thank you, Everyone…"

"Well, while there's still time, how about we continue this Novi search?" take Password to others.

Without seeing it seems they also agreed with Sandi's invitation, so they continued their delayed journey earlier.

.......

...+++~Lost~++...

.......

The Novi search field they are going through now must be more extra careful. Wh why? Well.. because the rain that flushed very heavy make the land that was once dense now began to soften and slippery if stepped on.

"Be careful, Ji." Rizal guided and guided –or in other words took Jihan patiently and carefully.

It's only been a few minutes, it feels like hours have passed. Until it does not feel now the rain flushed them very hard and the wind blew very fast.

"When are we going to find Novi in this situation? We've circled this place a few times" asked Kurnia in a voice she slightly stiffened to be heard by the others, in the sound of heavy rain and lightning striking more dominating than the sound he shouted.

"We must keep looking for her before dawn breaks!" Sandi again stopped her steps and looked back, her gaze towards Kurnia.

"Friends, come on. Don't make a fuss," Jihan burst into a somewhat raucous voice barely audible.

Rizal felt that there was an oddity in Jihan's voice. "Ji, are you okay?" The feeling of excessive worry churned in Rizal's mind.

Seen a faint and sincere smile on his face that began to pale. "I'm fine…"

Jihan begins to lose her balance and…

BRUK!

"DIRECTION!"
