Triangle (Driehoek)

Isang Monkey

"Ah come on, "ujar Doni grumbled softly. His stupid attitude appeared and he lay back because his sleepiness was not satisfied.

Not knowing how long he had been asleep until he dreamed again, this time this dream felt even more real. 

In his dream he heard a rustling sound from a bush about twenty meters to his left, and then a beautiful woman in white clothes stepped out of it. The woman was European-faced, with reddish-brown hair in the loop upwards.

At first the woman stepped slowly, like she was just passing by, walking so gracefully. But then he turned to look at Doni. As soon as she saw Doni she stopped stepping and stared unblinkingly. After staring like that for a while, the woman immediately headed for Doni who was lying down by walking quickly, or rather flashed so fast his movements.

It only took a second for the woman to arrive where Doni was lying. Then the woman brought her face closer to Doni's face as if observing. Doni became excited because now the distance between their faces is only an inch. Although Doni estimated the age of the woman was about 30 years, far above the age of 22 years, but his face was so beautiful and within such a close distance which man whose heart was not beating fast.

Doni was amazed by that beautiful face, and groggily tried to smile. It's just that after he noticed really he also immediately realized, the gaze of the woman is not the gaze of a woman who is interested in men, but the gaze of a predator who looks at her prey.

Slowly the woman's countenance turned ghastly, her dense eyebrows clutched and her mouth grinned very wide, so wide that it almost reached the auricle. His eyes turned red with a black bead. The skin of his face turned wrinkled, then it slowly turned dark. His white clothes turned dull, while his once beautiful hair was neatly arranged now turned dull and fussy. The woman opened her mouth wide open and screamed in front of Doni. Her voice was not like the voice of a woman, not even like a human voice, but like the sound of a slaughtered ox, hoarse and heavy. Blood gushed from the woman's neck, mouth, and nose.

Doni woke up from his sleep in a state of great fear, "Oi, wake up!!" Aris shakes Doni's body. Doni so opened his eyes inching backwards as far as he was still affected by his dream just now. His backward movement stopped after his body crashed into the jackfruit tree behind him.

Doni looked at Aris in shock as he was still affected by the dream. While Aris frowned looking at Doni in surprise, because he felt just shaking the body of his friend, but his reaction was like he had just seen a ghost.

Doni immediately beristighfar slowly several times to feel calm again. He was about to tell her his dream, but it was not so because he first spoke by Aris.

"Rudi is invisible, "said Aris.

Doni who was still not fully aware looked in the direction where Rudi was sitting fishing.

"Oh yes, the big stone that was occupied by Rudi was still there, only Rudinya was no more. "The answer was slow, half sluggish.

Aris again frowned at Doni's blo'on speech, then walked towards the large rock where Rudi was last seen.

With Doni up, he saw that Asep's mang was still asleep in the previous place. Not having the heart to bother the old man to ask for help, he immediately walked after Aris.

"How long has he been missing? "Ask Doni while looking up at the sky. The sun was already overhead, meaning it was already right at noon.

"Nearly two hours I was asleep, "inner.

"A while ago I saw him coming down from where he was sitting to the side, "Aris explained.

"I thought maybe the hook got stuck in something so he went down, but after a while he didn't reappear, "he said.

They descended into the river under the rock and checked, nothing suspicious. The water here is also not deep, the depth is the same as around just one adult. It can almost be said that it is impossible if Rudi gets washed away let alone drown here.

Aris looked around, this stone that Rudi occupied was one of the many large stones standing in the middle of the river. Indeed from where he was sitting earlier, it would not be seen if Rudi walked behind these stones.

"Oi, Rudy!!! "Heard a cry of Doni startling Aris.

"Asem ni son, shouted beside my ear, "the curse of Aris in my heart.

But indeed by shouting it seems to be the fastest way to find Rudi, and Aris followed by shouting.

Several times they shouted while walking and looked around the large rock. Then suddenly Aris gestured for Doni to be quiet because he felt like he heard something.

They listened carefully and sure enough, lamat-aim heard the sound of Rudi in the direction of the river. It was unclear what their friend said, but they could confirm it was Rudi's voice.

There was another sound of Rudi shouting.

"Gapain you there Rud, back here spit!! "Shouted Doni.

Both of them walked towards the voice of Rudi shouting just now.

Rudi again heard shouting, this time his voice was clear even though his position seemed to be quite far away, "Gaes here, quickly help the cave, "said Rudi.

"Urrgggh, you little boy, "tell Doni was upset, he slipped many times. It is difficult to walk among a pile of rocks like this, because the drought of stepped stones rolling here and there.

Doni and Aris walked in the direction of the voice of Rudi who still heard their screams, until it was not felt at the bend of the river that headed upstream.

Now they are very far from the fishing spot. Here the air feels cooler and darker because the trees are getting thicker, the bushes are getting higher.

"Let's go up to the edge, "Aris told Doni. Aris was worried because he often heard stories about the bend of this river, where after passing through the bend there is a broad and very deep bottom.

The water story said there is very calm but very deep, and it is said at certain times there can be a very strong whirlpool. According to the story he had also heard, there was once a whirlpool that was so strong that it claimed lives.

Aris himself since childhood was not allowed his father to walk in this direction, when he asked why, his papa just said although the land here still includes his grandfather's land but this place is forbidden.

Doni walked following Aris up to the edge without asking. They also walked while bushing and weeds in front. The trees here are huge, and they look very old. Aris picked up two pieces of twigs lying on the ground, one piece of twigs given to Doni. They use the branches to break the weeds.

After about fifty meters of walking along the banks, Aris turned to the river below. Seen by him the river water in this part is dark green and very calm. The stones are still widely seen on the edge, but there is no stone sticking out in the middle of the river. It seems this is the bottom of death that is meant by the surrounding community.

This hut is very broad and long, according to Aris' observations. He also saw a lot of fish swimming on the surface of the water. It seems like these fish breed well here because nothing bothers them.

Several times, large fish appear to surface to take air and dive back to cause ripples on the surface of the water. From the shape of his mouth and whiskers, Aris can estimate it is a catfish.

"Rud, sneak here, we're going back!! "Aris hoped that Rudi would hear and approach them.

One strange thing is that from now on they were mutually friendly with Rudi, but up to almost 500 meters walking and the figure of his friend was not yet visible. It was as if Rudi was addressing them while still walking.

"Oi Rudi, in the end, we are tired of following you!! "Shouted Doni annoyed.

Rudi's voice was heard again, this time cursing, I don't know who he was referring to.

Irritatedly Aris and Doni walked towards Rudi's voice just now, Rudi's voice was heard again cursing, this time the distance was only about ten meters in front of them.

Finally they saw Rudi standing in front of a group of tree. Rudi looked up at one of the palanquin trees that were not too large but quite tall, about fifteen meters in height. He grasped a piece of wood, brandishing into the air. Meanwhile on top of a branch was seen an ape sitting while grasping his fishing rod.

Seeing that Aris and Doni just grin while scratching their heads.

"Now, move!! "Ujar Rudi gave the fish to Doni.

"What is this? "Tejar Doni ticklish. The fish was only two fingers large, thin as well.

Aris noticed and laughed, "it's fish shoes, if cooked it can be a basin, he said, "he said.
