Candra Kirana
Moon Pendant

Kiran suddenly made his way out of the hiking trail, leaving a small road no more than a meter wide and descending towards the valley. His steps hurriedly brushed through the thickets and the place tilted towards the perennial flower that was very eye-catching. Edelweiss.

"Don't pick up the edelweiss, Ran!" septi reminded. "Because of our conservation laws will woi …!"

"Yes, if I don't know about it, I just want to take a closer look. This is great, Sep! Never seen anything purple like this. It's full of trees again!" kiran responded to a warning from her best friend.

"You if you want edelweis buy only those that are cultivated by citizens, equally immortal!"

"Emang whose cultivation there is a purple color like this? Yellow at most!" timpal Kiran doesn't believe me. "You are calm, I prefer to enjoy the beauty of this flower from the top of this mountain rather than take it home, which will be a dried flower!"

"I also wonder why people like to keep edelweiss in their rooms as dried flowers!" Septi muttered in agreement.

Kiran said, "Maybe because this is a perennial flower. You know the myth if you love this flower the love story of two humans will also be eternal."

"Fetttt! where is the eternal love story? All must be separated by death." Septi was still waiting for Kiran to notice the purple-dominated flowers of the hiking trail.

They are not just the two of them, but the three of them with Surya, Septi's girlfriend. The impromptu climb was done indeed at the will of Kiran, who wanted to vent her heartache and disappointment because it was decided by Dodi, by staying on the mountain for a few days. Exactly a week.

Dodi, a young man who had been in a relationship for over a year with him, suddenly disappeared without a trace, difficult to contact let alone found. After a week of investigation, Kiran only found out that her boyfriend had walked with another girl who was more everything than her.

No long talk, the girl broke off the relationship and asked Kiran not to look for it again once they met face to face. Really cowardly under the guise of an angel.

"Not by death, but by the actor!" kiran sebal said. He felt that he was being used only by the son of a bitch who had just become his ex. "That's proof Dodol .. just saw a girl sembokan dikit and played break me! I don't even think about my feelings!"

Kiran sorted out some of the colors of the flowers mixed beautifully, between pink and purple, with a feeling of joy. The choice to go up the mountain is right. Beautiful scenery presented before his eyes, two close friends accompanied, and most importantly after this he could shout as he pleased to curse Dodi.

After smugly stroking those small purple petals, Kiran smiled to herself. He spoke softly, "I also want to have eternal love, an eternal partner like the ones in those myths."

Just about to step leaving the beautiful flowers in front of him, Kiran saw something sparkling near the base of the edelweiss tree that entered the ground. Kiran crouched down to pick up the round object. A coin. Kiran wiped it by rubbing it against her pants, observing for a while then putting it in a jacket pocket.

"Take what you are, Ran?" tanya Septi is suspicious. He saw his best friend pick something up from the ground and keep it. "You know, we can't take anything from the mountain, right?"

Kiran walked casually towards Septi, "Yes .. I also know about it, no need to be noted! Not all geology kids love to die with the rocks and bring home all the good rocks on the mountain. I just found a coin, you know the coin, right? It must also be a prankster who threw away, to throw butterflies or deliberately disturb insects that are coming! I mean skidipapap."

"Coin?" tanya Septi and Surya together.

"Yes a coin, and the three of us know that the coin can be considered trash on the mountain, not something naturally formed from nature, so for example I take the coin is not at all wrong, he said, just clean up the location!" obviously Kiran is indifferent, patting the bag of the jacket where she keeps the coins and walking ahead of two lovebirds who have been her best friends since High School.

No one denied that what Kiran said was true. Septi and Surya also sometimes bring down such objects to be thrown under while descending, in addition to plastic waste and cans of course.

Surya who walked the back said firmly, "In the meantime post three, we so open a tent where, Ran?"

"The upper clouds are almost post four, isn't it too cold? There you can't see the sunrise either!" timpal Surya with an uncomfortable expression.

Kiran's place of choice was too open, their tent could be swept by the wind from the direction of the valley, in case of rainstorm was difficult to keep the tent still standing. Not to mention Kiran was planning to stay for a few days, the air was too frozen and the fog at the location was arguably thick and timeless.

"I can run to the top if I want to see the sunrise later, but it doesn't feel necessary anyway, it's been often! I just want to enjoy one of the most dazzling twilights here, when the sun gets into the cloud clumps and the color turns reddish. Glare man …!" Kiran giggled as she said the last two words.

This is not Kiran's first climb. In fact, in the last year Kiran has climbed the mountain three times. The path chosen was unchanged, because in addition to ramps, the path of choice Kiran is most friendly for beginners. Well, although it must be passed with a longer travel time than other paths, because the special path is half around the mountain.

Kiran is not a nature-loving organization like her two friends. The college does not provide such a unit of student activity. But as a former sispala (natural-loving student) at High School, Kiran still loves the adventure world of mountain forests.

Although there is a container for outdoor activities with geology and mining children on campus, Kiran is not interested. Kiran felt her soul was not the same as theirs. Kiran feels more free with children who are members of nature-loving organizations because of a hobby background, not because of the same academic majors.

"The fog started to fall, do not go far, the visibility is not up to three meters." Surya reminded Kiran who was in front.

Septi responded, "Usually this hour is bright! Is that not it?"

"Hm .. yes, quiet too. Where are the birds that are usually noisy?" kiran asked paused for a moment to take a breath. "It's so quiet!"

Surya looked around, towards the expanse of edelweiss and the blooming mountain flowers. No insects or butterflies live there.

As an adventurer, Surya's natural instincts worked fast. The two animals must have been hiding because of the change in weather. "There may be a storm."

Kiran raised her shoulders, her expression ordinary. The mountain storm has been through it twice. "Yes, the wind also blows to the east. Hopefully not too bad, let's find a comfortable camp! The land of clouds is near!"

The mist descends more and more, accompanying the three climbers who are walking hastily to reach the destination point. Kiran walked ahead as a leader. Right behind him a figure followed, like a shadow, white like a cloud. Drowns between the thick fog which is also white.

"Kiran, Kiran …! Wait, you can't go far!" surya is trying to chase after his best friend. Panic struck Surya shortly after seeing the figure behind Kiran.

"Sur, wait for me!" septi shouted no less panic, fear and fear. "Don't stay with me, please!"

Surya stopped, "Sep did you see the white shadow behind Kiran earlier?"

Septi's breath almost broke, his hand rubbed the neck that was goosebumps. "Yes I see, it's not people, right? We didn't take his step, did we? It was so quiet from before."

"I don't know what that is either! The time of fog can move like a person, the path is just behind Kiran. How am I supposed to do this, Sep? Kiran is far away, if I go after her, you will miss! Just as dangerous," Surya snorted with a frustrated look.

Septi chimed, "Kiran really cepet road, called also silent? It's weird!"
