WHIRLWIND
Part 14 | Holidays With Friends



This afternoon was the time my friends had planned. That I have an appointment to go to Mount Gede together. In accordance with the mutually agreed promise that the gathering point is at the park near Michalle's house.


I prepared all my gear to go to the mountain. By carrying the usual backpack I carry every climb. Recalling the climb, I thought back to Cynthia. In the past we all often together to climb, ranging from mount bromo, mount papandayan, mount pangrango, Mount Kelimutu, mount patuaha, and others.


Of all that the most meaningful and most memorable is always Mount Papandayan. Where was that place I expressed my feelings to him. With the Edelweiss flower. With those 3 flower stalks I ventured to express the stored feelings. At that moment the mood was twilight.


I returned to tidy up all the equipment. Once everything is ready I take my phone and open the phone screen. Without me noticing my fingers were looking for Cynthia's name. But I quickly realized it. I feel prestige if I call him, anyway me and he no longer have anything to do, he was also happy with the choice that was always there with him.


I rushed to the park near Michalle's house. By driving the motor.


...****...


After I got to the park near Michalle's house, it turned out that Rifki and Michalle were waiting. I also came to the two of them who were busy chatting. I felt like a mosquito was bothering them, consciously returning to the dirt.


Soon Dion came with the Goddess, and he came to me.


“lu why here alone?”. asked Dion greet me.


“From there I become a mosquito”.I replied cynically.


“Yaelah Rifki is still a business, even though it has been rejected!”. Dion.


“Yah mendinglah still keep trying than you just diem waiting for girl dateng, fitting deket stabbed with another person, must hurt it feels”. I said while insinuating.


“The apaansi discuss it mengu, mending us directly to Michalle's house to knock this motor!” dion gave me advice.


I also agreed to Dion's suggestion, and we asked Michalle for permission to chat with Rifki. Soon afterwards, Santi arrived with a car.


After everything was complete we immediately rushed by using a car santi. The one driving the car was Dion who was accompanied by Santi in front. Me, Dewi, Rifki and Michalle sat in the back. I feel awkward sitting next to the Goddess, it feels like yesterday, my heart is beating so fast especially if I look at her face, my heart is getting so ungodly.


We enjoyed this trip. On the way we sing a few songs so as not to get bored on the road. With the song currently hitting. I also followed a few songs.


"’gala you said was a lie


You're doing bullshit


No need to believe anymore


You're just pretending


We're at the end of our farewell


But I always miss


You're the wound I miss".


Hearing the song reminded me of Cynthia. He has hurt my heart but I always miss him, even this wound is not felt when I remember him. I can say I haven't been able to move on from him. He who always accompanied me even though I finally had to stay away and become a partner LDR, I do not care about it, but it is loyalty that has damaged this relationship. The sacred promise has been betrayed. The waiting is no longer there. It's all over.


...****...


Dusk has welcomed us to Mount Gede. I also took my backpack that I kept in the car trunk. We also walked to a temple that was really strategic. I was in the last line. In front of me was a goddess. I also followed the road very carefully because the road was rocky, if I was not careful then I would fall. I just thought that the Goddess fell and I caught her body. I looked into his eyes too, I didn't know what was going on with me. Looking at him as if I was sad to be gone. My heart beats so fast. I asked myself.


“Is it just me who feels like this, does Dewi have a similar taste to me”. I murmured in my heart.


There was a sound of coughing from Dion.


“ehem, ahem?”. Dion.


I also turned my face away from the Goddess, and released her body from my embrace.


“Sorry, later if you walk carefully!”. I counseled.


“Iya later I'm more careful again, BTW thanks yes already helped”.answer Dewi.


“Sama-sama”.my reply replied to Dewi's reply.


...****...


After making it through a rocky journey. We finally reached the top of Mount Gede. I witnessed such a beautiful twilight. The clouds are decorated in orange color. And I sat down on a big rock that led straight to the setting of the sun.


While the others were tidying their tents, I watched the twilight. Because for me the coming of twilight means a lot to me. That's why I shot Cynthia. From a distance I watched the setting of the sun, I recorded the moment. Although often see it but I do not get tired of watching it.


The sun has set. I also immediately made my tent that I had not made because I wanted to watch the twilight. I was looking for a strategic place.When I built it turned out I was close to the tent of the Goddess. Then the Goddess approached me.


“I can help?”. The Goddess offers.


“Please if ga ngerepotin”.


I also let the Goddess help me. And that's when I started melting with him. I no longer behave Cuek, Jutek again to him. At that time we started to get along so much that we exchanged stories. At that moment I started to feel comfortable with him. Soon I also finished setting up my tent which was assisted by the Goddess.


...****...


The night has come. There are a lot of tents here. We also turned on the digital light brought by Michalle. We sat around the lights. We also tried to melt the atmosphere by playing Truth or Dare by singing. The rules were explained by Santi. The tool that will be used is a paper made to resemble a ball, then Santi will sing. And at that time the ball must spin and if the song stops, and the ball stops in one of the people then the person must choose Truth or Dare.


He played guitar and started singing.


I’am going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me


This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy


I need someone to heal


Somebody to now


Somebody to have


Somebody to hold


It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same


I guess I kinda liked the way you numed all the pain


Now the day bleeds into ninghfull


And you’re not here


To get me trought it all…


The pitch stopped, and the ball was in Michalle's hand. Then Santipun offers to Michalle to choose Truth or Dare. He also chose Truth. So Santi asked a question.


“Are you in love with someone?”.


He also replied that he is currently in love with someone, he gave one thing that the person still works hard to conquer his heart even though it has been rejected many times. He saluted her and gave us a word that shocked us. That he opened his heart to her but had to with struggle.


I also thought. It turns out that Michalle is the one who wants to be fought for. It is not easy to love someone. He does not want to be like other girls wrongly in love and finally feel the pain of heartbreak. I also understand what Michalle wants.


...“Women are like mirrors...


...If it is thrown then it breaks...


...The mirror can still be put together...


...However, it cannot be removed from its scratch mark...


...Women are also very forgiving...


...But it's hard to forget it”....
