Between Love and Corona
Kedung Kayang Waterfall

After the stomach is filled with Gudeg Rice and Warm Tea that seems to replenish energy to be ready to undergo daily activities, then slowly Bintang drove his car out of Sentra Gudeg Wijilin and down the road to Wonolelo Village, Nagrong, Magelang Regency - Central Java.

Both are preparing to go to one of the natural waterfalls that are between Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu, precisely in Ketep Village, Nagrong, Sawangan, Magelang - Central Java.

Along the way, the two were several times involved in chatter and also sometimes the Moon observed the moving scenery from behind the window of the car he was riding. But it can be seen how the look on the girl's face looks happy.

"Your car is strong, won't Bin, go up the same?" tanya Bulan asked if a strong car went up to the plateau, because Kedung Kayang Waterfall is in a mountainous area.

The moon driving the car smiled. "It must be strong. We'll get there safely" he said.

Not long ago, now the two have arrived at Kedung Kayang Waterfall, just pay parking Rp. 4000 and buy an entrance ticket for Rp. 4000 as well, the two then go down and start walking together towards where the Waterfall is located.

Throughout the walk, the Moon appears to breathe fresh air which is good for the health of his lungs. Walking on the path with green trees standing along the left and right, he said, and the gurgling sound of the waterfall is so audible as to greet every visitor to immediately feel the sensation of the freshness of nature that is so beautiful.

"Be careful of the Moon, the path starts slippery" the Star warned the Moon to be more careful. Because some moss appears to grow in the area of the path and visitors should wear footwear that is not slippery.

The moon also nodded at the warning from the stars. While walking and continue to pay attention to his footsteps so that he does not fall.

When they had to walk again, but this time they had to cross a little river with so many rocks that the Stars walked first, the man first stepped on a stone then extended one hand to the Moon.

"Come .. These stones are slippery, lest you slip" he said, waiting for the Moon to stretch out its hand.

As if reluctant, the Moon is still silent and hesitant if you have to accept a helping hand from the Star. Indeed, with Surya alone, the Moon rarely makes physical contact. Teachings from her parents that a Javanese girl must be good at guarding herself, not allowed to hold hands with those of the opposite sex. However, the current situation was indeed that he needed someone who would hold his hand and cross this river to be able to get to the Waterfall.

"Come ... What are you waiting for?" The star still stretched out its hand and waited for the Moon.

Slowly the Moon's hand moved and she began to hand over her hand in the hand of the man who was now standing in front of her. The girl sighed as the Star began to grip the hand so tightly.

"You're the way follow me. Step on these stones, we'll go down the river. Careful slippery." said the Star gave instructions to the Moon.

The girl nodded her head and followed every step of the Star's foot. Traverse the river by letting the Star clasp its hand tightly and guide its way. The Moon's heart just feels bad.

Both are lucky enough because when they go there is not the rainy season, because when the rainy season debut river flow can be more heavy.

Therefore, the Star faced the Moon and waited until the girl dared to jump a little. Unfortunately, as the Moon jumped, one of its legs landed imperfectly. He stood with his unstable legs and had to prepare to fall into the river.

Noting the unstable standing position, the Star swiftly held the Moon's body, until accidentally both of them embraced. In the middle of the river with the sound of the river flow rippling and the cold wind of the mountains greeted the two.

For the first time, the two were in such a close position. The Moon's body froze instantly, she had not expected to even hug the Stars in a place like this. Just like the Star who did not expect it was his intention to capture and maintain the footsteps of the Moon so as not to fall actually made him hug the girl who had been loved for so long.

Seconds changed seconds, both are still in a position to hug, until then the Star blinked trying to restore all his thoughts. The man broke down his embrace and held both of Moon's shoulders. An awkward atmosphere suddenly enveloped the two.

"Sorry Moon, I'm just making sure you don't fall" said the Star slowly.

Seemingly nodding his head even though his heart was pounding so hard, Moon smiled. "Yes .. must have been unintentionally. Sorry too yes. So, do we want to continue our journey? Still not far?" ask Moon, who is honestly nervous about the current situation.

The star smiled and slightly scratched his non-itchy nape. "Come, we'll be at the Waterfall soon. Do you want to walk alone or hold on to my hand?" ask first, because the Bintang does not want to take a chance in narrowness.

The moon is smiling too. "Let's Bin." he said, holding the Star's hand.

Inwardly, the Star smiled in relief. This time the Moon still allowed herself to hold her hand and guide her way. After passing the second river, the point of the waterfall is not far away. The condition of the terrain around the waterfall consists of rocks. The closer to the waterfall, the point of water in the air is quite felt because of the swift flow of the waterfall.

Kedung Kayang Waterfall that is not too crowded makes the atmosphere so calm. Now the Moon and the Star sit together on a boulder, letting their bare feet feel the water flowing, the trees swaying as if dancing, and the charm of the waterfall is so beautiful like a white curtain.

The panorama of the main waterfall is so amazing. The rushing stream looked like a giant white curtain. The scenery around which is in a large niche is also no less charming.

"Finally we got here too" said the Moon with a very satisfied face.

The star smiled and nodded its head. "True .. very good yes. You've been here before?" tanyanya looked at the moon

The girl quickly shook her head. "This is my first time coming here. I didn't think this place would be this beautiful. It's really peaceful to be here. Just sit here, let the feet feel the sensation of a cold waterfall, and hear the gurgling of a waterfall that is like a giant white curtain. I'm really happy."
