Between Love and Corona
Banyu Sky

"This is my first time coming here."

One sentence sliding from the lips of the Moon, it is true this is the first time for him to visit Kedung Kayang Waterfall.

On the one hand, Bintang is quite happy because he became the first person to bring the Moon to see the beauty of Kedung Kayang Waterfall which is often referred to by the name "Banyu Langit." Yes, this designation is attached because Kedung Kayang Waterfall is located at an altitude of about 1200 meters above sea level (mdpl).

Mount Merapi at the top, a steep gorge below, are the two main magnets that make this place very beautiful. From above look at Mount Merapi which stands majestically accompanied by a puff of smoke that paddles the peak, and look down at the bottom of the gorge where the river with rocks flows so beautifully. The name Kedung Kayang itself is strung from two words namely Kedung meaning Waterfall or 'banyu' (water in Javanese) and Kayang means sky. Therefore, this waterfall is called the name "Banyu Langit".

"When the distance of this place from Jogjakarta is also not too far away. How could you never have been here?" ask the stars in curiosity.

The moon nodded and smiled. "I'm a home child, Bin .. I just spend my time teaching and at home. The rest I might occasionally visit the Father in Batik Kiosk at Beringharjo Market. The area I visited was limited." he admitted honestly.

"Have you been here often?" ask the Moon to her friend.

The star nodded its head. "Yes, a few times in High School. It's been a long time, after that I've never been here again. Now I'm working, to go play around like I don't have time" he said.

It is true what Bintang said, in the past while still in school, if the holidays arrive it feels like to get out of the house, breathe fresh air by visiting recreational places, after work, after work, holidays on weekends are more spent resting and gathering with family.

"You know the name of this Waterfall, the Moon?" ask the stars slowly.

The Moon shook her head. "No. I don't know. What's emang?"

"Banyu Sky. Because Kedung Kayang is the same as the waterfall that flows from Kahyangan, from the sky." explained the Star to the Moon.

Uh, but wait a minute why the word "Banyu Langit" is so synonymous with one of the title songs of the legendary Mixursari singer nicknamed "The God Father of Broken Heart" the late Didi Kempot created a song called "Banyu Langit."

"Like the title of the song Mixursari that often played Father at home, Banyu Langit." The moon chuckled while looking at the stars.

"Yes, it's true ...."

The stars sang a song.

Banyu sing ono dhuwur kayangan

Watu gede kalitan mendungen udan

Mount Merapi purbo

Through your voice, what's wrong

(Water from heaven comes from Heaven

The big rock covered the rain

Cold ancient Mount Merapi

Listen to your voice speak)

Suddenly the Moon chuckled amusedly hearing the Star humming the song Campursari that sounded the teasing. His laughter broke instantly, unexpectedly the Star suspect could also hum and his voice was quite melodious in his ears.

"Don't tell me you're Sobat Ambyar (the name for Didi Kempot fans) Bin?" tanya Moon who is still chuckling amusedly.

"True .. unfortunately, I'm Sobat Ambyar." chuckled until his face lifted up and continued to laugh.

As with the Moon, he did not think that secretly this friend was a big fan of the Maestro Campursari.

"Oh my goodness, seriously? How can you." asked the moon who seemed to not believe.

"Can ... His songs are quite representative of my feelings. So yes, I am part of you Ambyar." replied the Star while chuckling.

The songs created by the late Didi Kempot are Javanese Campursari songs that often tell the experience of a broken heart, not infrequently many listeners who cry after hearing and singing the songs of the deceased. Songs that describe the pain of heartbreak, the pain of betrayal, the pain of someone we love just renege on promises.

The moon is still laughing. "You're funny, Bin .. It turns out my friend is Friend Ambyar too. One frequency with my father."

"Oh yeah, what are you too?" ask the curious star.

The moon nodded its head. "Yes .. in Batik kiosk surely Mr. playing radio Campursari Didi Kempot. You have memorized some of the hit songs of King Campursari. Well, it seems exciting if you play at home continue karaokean with the Father" he said.

The stars in laughter. "Can ... next time I can do it, I play continue to meddle with you."

Sapa tahu abis karaokean made son-in-law.

Again the stars chuckle in the heart. He could have expected something impossible, even impossible in his mind.

When their laughter subsided, the Star pointed towards one on the dashing Mount Merapi whose summit was covered in clouds.

"Look at that, it's Mount Merapi. It's so close from here, isn't it?"

The two eyeballs of the Moon follow the direction the Star points to. It was true that he saw Mount Merapi so clearly and looked very close at this moment.

"Such a surprise from Mount Merapi" said the moon full of admiration.

The stars also nodded. "This place offers a variety of natural charm, Moon ... Mount Merapi as the background, this crystal clear river as a place where we stand, and people as visitors. Awesome good, isn't it?"

"Yes, very good .. I did not feel comfortable here" said Moon who was really satisfied and happy to visit Kedung Kayang Waterfall.

"However, because this waterfall is at the foot of the mountain included in the highlands, so rain can fall at any time. Dark clouds from the mountains usually fall and produce rain. So, once the dark clouds are down, we go up. There is no shelter here" said the star.

Just as the Star clenched its mouth and stopped talking, slowly the dark clouds from the top of Mount Merapi descended towards the foot of the mountain. The moon also observes its surroundings.

"Bin, I think we should go back up now. The dark clouds began to fall. Just now you talkin, the clouds immediately come down."

The star rose from its seat, which was sitting on one of the great stones, and stretched out its hand to help the Moon to descend.

"Come .. be careful."

With a still awkward feeling, the Moon received a helping hand from the Star. Quickly, the Stars helped the Moon to come down and they returned down the river to the tracking path on the path that would take him back to the parking lot.

Cloudy clouds, cold air, and plus the gurgling of water make the atmosphere more and more syahdu. Unfortunately, they both came as friends. However, even so the time of togetherness with the Moon in Banyu Sky will be a beautiful memory for him. In at least one day, he was able to chat and was this close to the Moon. Set in Mount Merapi, white-covered Kedung Kayang Waterfall, Bintang hopes that one day he can come back here with a girl who is so full has become the owner of his heart. May the universe listen and grant its hope.
