AZUMAS
someone I don't know

It was raining very hard that day, Mei was separated from her friends. I don't know what's on his mind so he can go wrong.

“Jeez, what should I do? No signal in this mountain.” Mei grumbled as she continued trying to walk in the rain. ‘I have to find a shelter, soon the day will be dark.” Mei solidified her steps, walking the path surrounded by various types of trees.

**

“We must immediately find a place to shelter, next to there is a post to rest.” Bimo gave instructions to his friends. Before climbing, they had made sure that the day would be sunny, but somehow suddenly it suddenly rained.

Bimo and his friends arrive at the resting post Bimo mentioned earlier. The heavy rain forced them to stop the climb.

“everything is fine?” bimo asked while looking around, afraid that there would be a member of his team left behind.

“One, two, four, why are there only four? Aren't we eight?” bimo asked confusedly.

“May, May and Yoga are not here” Siska said after looking around.

“They are at the back, please, brother sister itukan always happy to enjoy the forest scenery.” Replied Bobi while putting his backpack on the bamboo table in the room.

“All are already here?” asked a young man as soon as he entered the small house, his clothes wet with rain

“Yoga? Why are you alone? Which may?” bimo asked as he glanced out through the window, his eyes looking through the path in front of the house.

“What do you mean? Isn't Mei ahead with you guys?” Yoga is confused.

“Loh? we thought May was with you.” Bobi was worried.

“I'll go look for him, you guys wait here.” Yoga rushed to leave, his face looked very pale, he could not imagine if something happened to his beloved sister.

“In the meantime Yoga, I'm also coming with you” Bobi rushes out that rain coat inside her bag. Both of them ran through the rain that never subsided.

“You have to go home before sunset, the road here will not be easy at night.” Bimo shouted so that his voice was heard by the two friends.

“Why try Bobi should come look for it?” guman Siska was annoyed while sitting on the bamboo chair that was in the room.

“What do you mean?” tanya Bimo did not understand the nature of Siska.

“I think Yoga itself can also look for it, why should it involve Bobi?, at most the girl is not far from here.” Obviously Siska with a face look does not like.

“Are you not worried one bit? Your friend disappeared in the woods.” Ani who had been silent came along. Siska simply rolled her eyeballs and muttered something vague.

“Why is there no place to shelter?” guman Mei anxiously, the raincoat she wore was not enough to keep her body dry. Rain water began to seep into his clothes, making his body shiver with cold.

“I can't walk anymore,” Mei sits under a very large tree, with a body that shivers with cold.

“Kak Yoga, where are you? I'm afraid to be alone here.” Tears had flowed down his cheeks, mixed with rain water that was getting increasingly heavy.

Mei decides to continue her journey, waiting under this tree alone makes her hair goosebumps, especially soon the night will come to replace the afternoon that looks unfriendly. Mei kept walking, limping and occasionally slipping due to the slippery road. After a long walk he saw a small hut not far from where he was standing. Mei reluctantly walks into the hut, the increasingly heavy rain leaving her with no other choice.

“Is there anyone inside?” mei shouted half a voice, actually she was afraid, a lot about the criminals who often appear in the drama that often seen on television began to fill her head.

"What if there's a criminal hiding in this hut? What if they carry sharp weapons? What if they do bad to me?, I am not afraid of ghosts, humans can be more terrifying than ghosts who usually just fly around and laugh indistinctly.” Mumbles Mei in the heart. He kept walking in slowly. His eyes were watching around. Mei pulls out a flashlight from inside her bag, the night that begins to take over her place darkens the small room. Mei walked around the room slowly. He could see there was a pile of firewood in the corner of the room, as well as a burning container that still looked new.

“Perhaps some people have also taken shelter in this hut.” Mei calmed herself down. Mei rushes to put her backpack on the floor and pulls out a match that is deliberately prepared from home for climbing purposes. Mei took a few pieces of firewood and began to make a campfire, the atmosphere so it felt brighter.By quickly Mei removed the raincoat she wore and sat in front of the fireplace to warm herself.

Crew,,

Mei held onto her hungry stomach, she regretted just eating a piece of bread before climbing this morning. Food supplies are in her sister's backpack. Mei looked around again, hoping there was something she could eat. Mei bowed listlessly, there was absolutely nothing to eat, she reluctantly got up on her feet, walking towards her backpack

Kreetek!!

The sound coming from the door of the hut surprised Mei, Mei spontaneously stopped her steps, put up her hearing well, hoping something was wrong with her hearing just now. Shortly after the sound of that sound came someone into the hut, someone wearing a large, thick fur coat stepped into the hut, but suddenly his steps stopped realizing that he was not alone in the hut.

“Si, who are you?” tanya Mei stammered. Mei was horrified to see the appearance of the person in front of her, she could not clearly see the person's face. All she could see was a man of great stature, long shoulder-length hair and a face that was also covered in hair and Mei was sure of one thing, he was a man. Mei grew even more scared after looking closely at the person who was in front of her. Instead of answering Mei's question, the man continued to step forward, Mei could see that the man was carrying a burlap sack but Mei was not sure what it contained.

“Is there a human being in it? Did he just kill someone? In the drama, a psychopath puts a human in a sack and hides it somewhere.” Mei couldn't stop thinking bad things about the man.It didn't take long now that the man was right in front of her, looking at Mei's face with an indescribable look. Mei fell down, she could feel both her legs limp helplessly

“I just want to take shelter, I don't mean to go into this hut, please forgive me the sound of Mei coming out in a cry, she doesn't dare to look at the face of the man in front of her, he could only look on the ground.

“Kak Yoga, hope you are okay, sorry I can not accompany you any longer, sorry because I was always naughty and did not obey the words of brother, I love big brother” he continued, Mei is convinced that this is the end of her life. There was no reply from the man in front of him. The man walked towards the fireplace and untied the sack he was carrying, taking something out of it, cassava and banana. Mei who saw that breathed a sigh of relief. ”Not man” muttered as he stroked his chest.May folded his legs sitting cross-legged, waiting for what the man would do. The man took off his fur coat and the shoes he wore, both wet from the rain. Now Mei can see clearly the shape of the body of the man in front of her. The man with a decent height, Mei believes that the height of the man is the same as the height of her brother, about 180cm. The skin color is brownish, not fat and also not thin, wearing a black shirt that has been torn on the right shoulder. Mei was horrified to see her long unkempt nails. The light generated from the fire made the man standing in front of him look very scary.“Couldn't he not be human, a demon? Werewolf?” bad thoughts came to his mind. Mei could only sit him in his place, she did not want to make a move that would make the strange man who was in front of her feel disturbed.

The man sat down in front of the fireplace, took some cassava and banana that had been brought in the fire, and waited silently.

“Hei,” said Mei slowly, venturing to call the man. The man did not react

“Hey, are you human?” mei's question made the man turn his face towards Mei. Mei was shocked by that gaze, she was sure that the man in front of her must have been offended.

“Sorry instead of presumptuous, I just want to make sure, but don't worry, I'm sure you're human, hahaha, you must be human.” Mei replied to her own question, she was sure she was out of her mind. “basic drama damn!” he swore in his heart. It was very quiet, only the sound of the rain did not stop, long May and the man sat looking at the fireplace. Every now and then the man flipped through the cassava and banana he had burned, making sure the cassava and banana were ripe to perfection.

The crew!..

The sound of rumbling from Mei's stomach rang again, Mei quickly held her stomach, she really felt very hungry. The man took out the ripe cassava and banana from inside the fire, threw out his skin and thrust it towards Mei. Mei looks hesitant, but her hungry stomach makes her come closer and receive a burnt cassava from the man, “Thanks” he said then quickly returned to his original seat. Mei ate the boiled cassava in her hand greedily

“Why does this cassava taste so delicious? Is it because I'm hungry?” it did not take long the cassava in his hand ran out instantly. The man peeled the other cassava and intended to eat it but was surprised to realize Mei was already beside him staring at the cassava in his hand. The man did not eat it, he gave the cassava in his hand to Mei and of course Mei received it and quickly returned to her seat. Slowly the rain began to subside, only a popping sound that marked the rain will soon stop. The man took some baked bananas and ate them.

“Excuse me, I just wanted to ask, does that banana taste good?” tanya Mei came closer, looking at the banana that was in the man's hand expectantly. The man did not reply just staring at Mei with a blank look.

“Can I ask for a little?” ask Mei with a smile. The man did not answer, but turned his gaze to the pile of banana peels and cassava in front of him, then looked towards Mei. He was sure that the bananas and cassava he had burned all went into the belly of the woman in front of him. Mei just kept quiet and sat in front of the man.

“Don't get me wrong, I'm not a greedy person, it's just that I didn't have breakfast properly this morning. After all, I only eat a few fruits.” He said without shame as he stared at the ceiling of the hut. The fear he felt when he first saw the man just disappeared.

Reluctantly the man gave the last banana he burned to the woman in front of him. Mei receives the banana with a happy smile, she intends to return to her original seat but the man pulls his hand forcing Mei back to sit.

“Eat here,” said the man while adding firewood to the fire.

“Waah!, it turns out you can talk, I think you can't talk” Mei said as she quickly put the banana in her hand into her mouth. The man did not reply, he was only pensive to look at the firewood that was beginning to be devoured by fire.

“Warmly,” said Mei while directing both her hands closer towards the fire. “what's your name?” continued again. But there is no answer.

“My name is May, your name?” tanya Mei did not give up.

“If you don't want to answer I'll go” threatened Mei, she's not sure those words will make the man answer her question. Mei prepared to stand up when she saw no response from the man.

“Azuma.” The man said slowly but clearly enough to reach May. Mei sat back down, she was relieved not to have to leave the hut. Honestly, he was also not serious about what he said just now, how he would go to the middle of the forest without sunlight.

“Azuma, hmm. nice name. Where the hell did you come from? Are you also a climber?, I don't think, how come you're a resident here?” quickly another question came out of Mei's mouth. As usual the man who turned out to be named Azuma did not answer. Mei opened the burlap sack beside her and took some bananas with both hands and threw a pile of bananas in her hand just like that into the fire. Because putting in a lot of bananas at once made the fire in front of him go out, with a wry smile Mei turned towards Azuma, afraid that the man beside her was angry. Azuma just looked at him with a feeling of wonder, “ what is with this guy?” he murmured in the heart.

“I just follow what you do.” Mei said without guilt. Azuma took out all the bananas covering the embers, blew away the embers that were almost extinguished many times and added some dried twigs. Slowly the fire started to burn again.

“Keren.!” mei said with sparkling eyes, she smiled towards Azuma but the man just shook his head and immediately stood up and went away from Mei.

“Where are you? It's still raining outside!” exciting May. He didn't want to be alone in this hut. Mei stands up and intends to follow Azuma but her steps stop when she sees Azuma coming back with a black scroll. Put it in the corner of the room and remove the rope that tied the scroll.

“Sleeping bag! There are mats too?!” exclaiming Mei happily, she walked over to Azuma who was busy preparing a place for her to sleep. Mei watched Azuma while sitting crouching on both her legs. It didn't take long for Azuma to finish preparing a place for him to sleep. Azuma immediately lay comfortably on the bed he had made. Mei who was watching him from earlier lowered her head listlessly. “What do I expect? It's all Yoga's fault, she's carrying all my luggage and won't let me carry anything but light items. Haah.!” he said while breathing. Mei was surprised to feel something was touching her hand, she quickly raised her head to see who was touching her.

“If you want, you can sleep here” said Azuma who crouched in front of him. Mei did not reply, she just dumbly did not understand, why there was such a kind stranger in this forest.

“Excuse me, I just want to know, do you intend to kill me when I fall asleep later?”, Mei asked innocently. Azuma just kept quiet, he did not understand what the woman in front of him meant.

“I mean, you don't know me, but you want to give me your food, let me take shelter in this hut, and now you give me your bed? Honestly, do you intend to take my kidney?” asked Mei with a plain look.

“I don't understand what you're saying, but if you don't want it's okay.” Azuma stood up and intended to go back to sleep but Mei immediately pulled her hand.

“ehee.., I want!, I want. You cannot be joked with, thank you.” Mei immediately ran over Azuma's bed. There was a small smile on Azuma's face, he did not know who this woman was, but surely his heart was a little comforted to meet someone after a long stay in this forest. Azuma indeed often met with some climbers on this mountain, but Azuma did not dare to approach. Azuma simply watched them from afar, eating the leftover food the climbers had left behind, as well as wearing their clothes that might have been accidentally left behind. Azuma had never spoken directly to someone, this was his first time. The night continued along with the faintly heard rain, the sounds of crickets and night animals filling the silence of the night. Azuma sat in front of the fireplace, his mind wandering to a distant place. Every now and then she turned her head to look at Mei who was sleeping soundly, it seemed that the woman did not feel afraid even though she was with someone she did not know. She assures herself that Azuma is a kind person, and she is very sure, Yoga, her brother will come to pick her up soon.

Midnight May awoke from her sleep, she felt pain in her stomach. Mei looked around and not far from the fireplace she saw Azuma was sleeping, bareback and without a blanket. Mei comes near him and shakes Azuma's body.

“Azuma!, Azuma!, wake up!” Mei patted Azuma's body while holding her stomach. Azuma woke up from his sleep and immediately took a sitting position facing Mei.

“My stomach hurts so much, I think I want to go to the toilet. Where's the toilet?” mei asked with a grimacing face enduring the pain.

“Hah?” Azuma was not fully conscious from his sleep.

“I want to defecate, where's the toilet?” Mei replied with annoyance. Azuma still did not reply, he just dumbly looked towards Mei.

“Wc!, where wc? You don't know what wc is? A place to throw dirt out of the human stomach!” now Mei could not contain her anger. Instead of answering Azuma just pointed his index finger towards the door. Mei rushed to the door but stopped immediately. The dark atmosphere outside scared him.

“Sorry, do you want to accompany me?” tanya Mei looked towards Azuma who was preparing to lie down. Azuma did not reply, he intended to continue his sleep.

“If you don't want to accompany me, I'll poop here.” Threatens Mei, but Azuma does not respond.

“I'm really going to poop here, I said I'm going to poop here, I'm throwing it here huh, ya?” threaten Mei while holding her pants. Azuma still remained unmoved.

“My pants have dropped in half, do you know, my shit smells so pungent, three days and three nights the smell won't go away.” Mei said, her face was starting to pale, she really could not stand it anymore.

“Preet,.preeet” long fart echoed in the room. Mei tried to keep him from defecating.

“Basic crazy woman!” Azuma got up from his sleep and pulled Mei's hand towards the door.

“Wait..! wait, flashlight, we need flashlight” Mei said as she ran to pick up the flashlight lying on the spot where she slept earlier. They both ran out of the hut.

“Where?” ask Mei

“Just throw it near that tree!” azuma replied while pointing towards the tree that was not far from the hut.

“Are you crazy?” mrs Mei still holds her ass.

“Then where do you want to throw it?”Azuma was confused as to what exactly this woman wanted.

“Wc loh, wc, at least a hole for where to dispose of dirt.”

“If you don't want ya already hold it, I'll soon sleep” Azuma intend to go back into the hut

“Alright,! But you have to wait here, don't stay with me.” Mei pulled Azuma's hand.

“Alright,” Azuma replied as he folded his arms standing up. Mei walked towards the tree that Azuma had pointed at earlier.

“You're still there?” Mei shouted from her place

“Ya” Azuma replied

“Preeet..preeet.. preeet..” May covered her face, she felt very embarrassed to be in the current situation.

“Close your ears!” exclaim Mei held in shame

“I didn't hear anything” Azuma replied

“Lying! You must have listened?”, this time May chooses to die soon. Slowly he could smell the foul scent of his feces.

“Azuma! Close your nose!” shout Mei

“Why?” ask Azuma

“Close only! Otherwise I'll kill you!”

“Alright,” replied Azuma, but he had not had time to close his nose the foul aroma had entered first into his nose.

“Hooek!!Uhuk..! Uhuk.!” what is this smell?” azuma exclaimed as he coughed he immediately closed his nose. Mei could only bow listlessly. “I told you to close your nose.” murmured me weakly.

“Sorry Azuma, are you still there?”mei's voice is weak

“What? What else?” azuma asked as he continued to cover his nose with his hands.

“I clean what do I wear?” ask Mei

“Just use the leaves around you .”

“Alright!”. Shortly afterwards Mei walked towards the hut with her head bowed. He entered the hut without regard to Azuma who was standing near the door. Mei walked towards her bed and immediately laid herself down and covered her entire body

“I can die from shame.” Mumbled slowly.. Azuma followed him from behind with an amused smile.
