Triangle (Driehoek)
An Abandoned Village
Not caring for his two friends, Rudi immediately climbed a tree on the stretcher where the monkey perched. His thin body nimbly climbed the small thorny tree. It seems that it is not in vain the sport of rock climbing that he has been playing, it does not take long he has arrived near the bad ape. It's just that the ape is not willing to give up, instead climbing higher and higher.
"Be careful Rud, "said Aris worried, because this is a tree, not a cliff. There could be slippery or weathered branches. But Rudi did not answer and continued to climb. He's upset not playing with this little ape.
Initially while in the river, he wanted to release the fishing line that was involved in between the stones because it was carried by the fish he was fishing. But after he managed to free the stuck fishing line and release the fish from the hook eye, suddenly something pulled the fishing rod. When he saw that a small ape that was slightly larger than a cat was pulling his torch and taking him away. Which makes him even more upset because at that time he grasped the hook's eye, and because of the dirt on the pull then the hook's eye was scraping his palm until it bled.
Now that Rudi has climbed to almost the top of the tree, Doni and Aris hold their breath because if they fall it is certain that their friend will enter the ICU.
Fortunately, the monkey immediately released the fishing rod in his hand, maybe he was having other needs that require him to leave immediately. The monkey jumped to the end of the branch where he was sitting, and from there he jumped again to the nearest tree.
The released joran fell right in front of Aris where he stood.
"Buset, you fucking monkey!! "Four Rudi.
Doni and Aris laughed at that, although still not really relieved because Rudi had not come down safely to earth.
Finished swearing Rudi looked like he was about to go down, but suddenly he turned towards the Ciremai mountain which was in the North of them.
"What's up Rud? "Ask Aris.
Rudi did not answer and kept paying attention in that direction. After a while of observing the new he came down carefully.
After descending from the tree he approached his two friends with breath still bored due to climbing.
"Kok I saw there was a village there, "pointing Rudi in the direction he had seen from the top of the tree.
Aris frowned, looking at Rudi with a look of wonder, "to my knowledge there are no other settlements near here other than the village around my grandfather's house, "he replied.
Doni looked at his two friends in turn, but of course he believed more in the words of Aris who had lived here for a long time. Then he moved in front of Rudi and put the back of his hand on his best friend's eel.
"What a dodol, "said Rudi clasped Doni's hand, Doni dodged backwards while chuckling.
"Seriously you know, "said Rudi.
"Gaes, it's good that I tell you a little bit about this region, before you think about checking out the village that Rudi saw, "said Aris then gazed around, as if making sure that only the three of them were there. He thought it best he told me about the situation here before the idea of his friends exploring.
"This place if according to my papa still belongs to my grandfather's land, it's just that this place is a forbidden area, " said Aris.
"Don't ask me forbidden how, because I was also just told that, and I'm sure if asked my father the answer must also be the same, that he was told my grandfather and my grandfather must be from my great-grandfather, and like that next. "
Doni thought, lest the banishment of this place have anything to do with his dream earlier. He was about to open his voice but first by Rudi.
"It is forbidden how, so far, we are only the damn ape, "Rudi replied. Simultaneously with the end of Rudi's speech a voice sounded, "nguk, nguk, brotherak, "it turns out the monkey has not been far from them and said once his name was mentioned.
Rudi took the twig in Aris's hand and threw it towards the sound the ape was coming from. "Gusrak, srak, srak, "heard a sound as they were hit, it seems the monkey ran away because of Rudi's throw.
"So how? We're back, right? "Teach Doni.
"I'm hungry, "with a complaining tone.
"These lips are children, didn't you eat earlier? "Teach Rudi.
"That was this morning, breakfast. You think you're here not need energy? "Reply Doni put on a limp look.
Aris only watched his two friends, this is what he likes from these two people, if there they gather so rame.
"Yuk ah, "ujar Rudi then walked towards what he thought was a village earlier.
"Who's going to go there? "Doni Protest.
"His son Rudi no one has agreed to move, he did not think if I was hungry what, "inner Doni.
"Lha, you've heard the story of Aris earlier, if the story of this place is just he said, "said Rudi turned to look at his two friends while grinning.
Yes at this point Rudi has a point, there is no authentic evidence of what makes the area around here off limits, Aris thought. Besides what's the danger of just walking around. Another story if you want to explore is the bottom, it's something that is very unfit to be approached because the danger is real, he thought again.
Aris pulled the android phone out of his pocket, shown on the phone screen time shows at 12:25, still a long time before dusk arrived. So Aris also walked after Rudi. While Doni was still staring at Aris asking for support, but because Aris just walk away without turning her head, inevitably she followed with a sullen look.
Long story short, after about 1 kilometer longer walk through the thickets that exceed the height of adults, they finally arrived at the edge of the lowlands inundated with water.
This place is open and not many trees, seen dozens of houses that have mostly been destroyed. From its shape it seems that these houses are colonial-era heritage houses. But there is one house that still looks intact, which is a large house in the middle of the village, probably because this house is entirely made of concrete, except on the roof that looks only leave a gaping hole.
Aris looked at him confusedly.
"Given that this village has been here for so long, why have I never heard a story about this place? "Taught Aris slowly.
They walked down the slope dividing between the higher plains and the submerged housing.
"If you look at the moss and the condition of the walls of the building, it seems like this place was completely submerged. And it seems like that makes this village invisible and inaudible all this time, "said Rudi.
Aris and Doni thought for a moment then nodded in agreement with Rudi's observation. It seems that's the only reasonable explanation for the condition of the buildings here.
"But what is the cause of the village that has been sinking now suddenly appear? "The mumbling of Aris seemed to ask herself.
"Ah did think bray, "ujar Rudi then took out an android phone and immediately berselfi ria, Doni did not want to miss immediately standing next to Rudi.
"Yeah, you take pictures, don't fit the screen, "said Rudi jokingly.
And before long the three of them also posed alternately to take pictures cheerfully.
"Jir, it turns out there is no signal here, "said Rudi upset because when he wanted to post their photos to social media was not able to because not a single point of signal that appeared on the phone screen. Aris and Doni also saw their phones, it's true that Rudi said, there is no signal at all here. This place seems to be isolated from civilization.
Aris looked back at the houses and the surrounding scenery.
"If Novi I had come here he would have been happy, "said Aris. He planned to bring the girl here. Yes, since childhood Novi was happy to explore the forest and so like the wild. Since childhood too they often ventured and explored together in this grandfather's land.
"Ris Novi is your cousin, right? "Ask Rudi heard Aris's words just now.
"Yo, bro, "say Aris.
"Lu has a crush, huh? "Teach Doni while elbowing Rudi's arm.
"Since the first came the lyrics he kept, say ngaku, "goda Doni.
"What the hell you rese very, this is his brother here dodol, "said Rudi, he became reluctant to Aris if it was discovered he liked to see Novi. Though it is a natural thing, which men will not like the beautiful Novi.
"Novi is actually the nephew of my late aunt's husband, "Aris said.
"In genealogical terms we are closely intertwined, but in bloodline we are not related, "Aris explains.
"Lha means you can dong courtship with Novi, "said Doni spontaneously. Because according to him Aris is handsome with an indo-dutch face, very suitable when juxtaposed with a beautiful Sundanese Novi. Moreover, their posture is also very harmonious, Aris large height with a height of about 180 cm, while Novi 170 cm, high enough for the size of women. Compared to if Novi was ruled out with Rudi, his friend was more or less the same height as Novi, so less match.
Or at least Rudi had to wear shoes and Novi had to look good when they walked together, thought Doni amused himself.
"Njir gile lu Don, since toddler we have been familiar with each other, where there is such a feeling, "said Aris spontaneously. There was an uncomfortable feeling in him that suddenly appeared once discussing Novi like that, the girl he had already considered his own sister.
Rudi turned his gaze towards the submerged houses, whereas he hid a smile happy to hear Aris and Doni talk, fun means Novi single dong, he thought.
"Hey gaes, look!! "Rudi pointed to the stagnant water, Rudi said stopping Aris and Doni's conversation, they both immediately looked at the direction Rudi pointed.
