Karim and Lastri have been missing their only daughter for a month.they've been looking everywhere, their desperation making them even more helpless.

Lastri daily lamented her missing daughter.The 59-year-old looks increasingly thin.

Karim tried to comfort his wife, even though she looked fragile.

"patience ma'am.hopefully there is a bright spot about the whereabouts of our daughter" said Karim, trying to encourage his wife. He himself is actually heartbroken, because of the loss of his beloved daughter.

there were footsteps, climbing on the steps of his house.Karim's house was a stage-shaped house.

living in the depths, under the foot of the hill requires them to build a stilt house, because it serves to avoid the danger of attacks by wild animals.

[tok.tok..tok.] the sound of knocking on the door from the outside.

"who..?" karim said in a questioning tone.

"i..Jarwo, Bah." said the voice of the adult man from the outside.

Karim immediately moved from his place, opening the door of his house.

"come in, Jar.." said Karim.

"Assallammualaikum, Abah" said Jarwo.

"Waalaikumsalam.." answered Karim, sitting on the wooden floor of his house and followed by Jarwo.

Jarwo seemed to want to convey a very important message.it was seen from the direction of his body movements.

"What's up Jarwo..? there seems to be something very important, that you want to say." said Karim with raucous.

"emmm.anu Bah. actually I, when it saw Dina walking towards the hill." ucao Jarwo very carefully.

"a..what..?" serga Lastri was not far from them. She wiped her tears and joined Jarwo and her husband.

There is a glimmer of hope in his heart, to be able to find his son.

"why are you just talking now..?" karim said with a little annoyance.

"sorry, Abah Karim, I just finished harvesting coffee"

"i kept going to town that afternoon, to bring my coffees to the mongoose."

"after that, I went to my in-laws' house next door, because there was a problem."

"and only now, I have time to deliver."

Jarwo set his breath. "i also got this news from the neighbors" Jarwo explained.

Karim breathed. "It's early morning, can you help me, to gather the neighbors, we do my son's search" Karim pleaded.

Jarwo swiftly replied "well, Bah. I will immediately inform the neighbors." said Jarwo sincerely.

*****

residents have gathered in front of Karim's house, they are willing to leave their jobs, in order to help Karim in the search for Dina who has disappeared since a month ago.

for rural communities, a sense of mutual assistance and empathy for their citizens is still well-established.if there are residents who experience distress, celebration or building a house, everything will be done in a crowd, he said, unrewarded.

"Mother iku sir.. I wanted to come find Dina. "pastri begged.

"but.bu. Later the mother is tired." said Karim prevent.

"no sir, I'm coming along." said Lastri kekeh with his wish.

Eventually, Karim relented, and obeyed his wife's wishes.

residents began to move up the hill.they rode a motorcycle, to get there faster.

they began to divide several groups to disperse, some were down the riverbank, entering the forest, and also around the waterfall.

Karim and Lastri, along with several other residents, got a part down the waterfall area.they suspected if Dina committed suicide jumping from the top of the waterfall. or sandwiched between rocks.

the citizens and others started calling Dina's name. Lastri with his sobs called Dina "Diinaaaa.bali.nak.wes afternoon.." (Dina.. go home. it is already dusk) said Lastri with a poignant tone, while washing away Dina's favorite bolster.

lastri's voice sounded raucous.his eyes were so shattered.

He stared at the nano around the waterfall.His eyes were centered on the base wall of the waterfall. He wanted to go check on her, but someone forbade him.

"Bik Lastri, don't go there..! the water is deep, and there's a stone of deception there." said one resident.

- the stone trick is it, the stone that looks poking, but when it is stepped on it turns floating, and the victim will be dragged into the bottom of the waterfall.

Lastri undoes his intention, but somehow a whisper from which says if there is something behind the waterfall.

****

faintly Dina heard the voice of a call from her mother. He ran out of the palace. He seemed happy, because his mother loved him, proof they were looking for him.

Dina yells.."Ibuuuu.. This is Dina bu.." cried Dina while waving her hand.

Dina was confused, why her mother and father did not see her.

He heard his mother calling his name. "Ibuuu.ini Dina ma'am." cried Dina called her mother.but all who were there did not see and hear her screams.

the day was getting dusk, Lastri and Karim, and other residents did not find any trace of Dina. when he was leaving, Lastri saw something, a sandal wedged between the rocks of rock. sandal that he knew.

"sir.pak e.. see that sir." said Lastri with a speck of hope. Karim and the others came over, they were curious about what Lastri had discovered.

"what's the matter, ma'am..?" karim was curious.

"that's.pak e. it's Dina's sandal, but only one" Lastri said in a trembling voice.

A younger man, took a wooden branch, then took a flip-flop that was certainly Dina's.

after the sandal rose to the edge, Lastri shouted.."paaak.ini actually belongs to Dina sir.." his heart had imagined bad things had happened to his son.

one of the residents tried to kill him. "it looks like Dina committed suicide, by jumping from the top of the waterfall."

"When he fell, his body went into the deepest trough of the waterfall, so that it could not rise to the surface."

maybe his body got stuck in something on the ground" said one resident with his own analysis.

all citizens looked at him, then agreed to the analysis provided by the citizen.

"this how is abah..? it is not possible to do a search at night. because it is very dangerous for all of us. there will be many wild animals that threaten us. ", Jarwo said giving understanding to Karim.

after thinking about the risks, Karim agreed.

Lastri and Karim, as well as other residents, decided to go home and will search the next day.

"ii.buuuu.. don't leave Dina, Mom.." Shouted Dina while running about to chase after her parents, but when she was about to come out, Dina was unable to penetrate it.

it was like there was an occult wall that prevented Dina from pursuing her parents.

The unseen wall, has blocked the sight and hearing of Father and Mother, as well as other residents to find Dina.

the longer, the further her parents stepped away, leaving Dina who kept calling her mother.

after the bodies of her parents disappeared from her sight, Dina cried sobbing lamenting her fate.

"Ibuuu.. bring Dina home ma'am." she said with tears.

Dina felt he had been four days in the kingdom of Bromo, but in reality, He had been missing for a month.

from a distance, Bromo was watching him, however, he was not willing to lose Dina. He fell in love with that girl. Bromo is still suspending its containment.

Bromo intends to keep Dina captive, until Dina meets the agreement with him, to tie the knot.
