Candra Kirana

Candra Kirana
Coffee Memory


Kiran's arrival to the climbing post instantly made a scene. Mbah Wiro who did not sleep immediately smiled. His premonition that Kiran was alive and could be called home was not wrong.


"Nor …!" Septi hugged Kiran with tears, his stuffing even bothering Kiran who was still not familiar with the situation.


Surya ruffled his hair with a small laugh. "You're finally home, my son!"


"You why the hell, new people come instead of being welcomed even dangisin?" kiran asked in astonishment, trying to escape from Septi's embrace that shackled his movements.


"Geez, Ran! Where have you been for three days?" tanya Septi still sobbing.


"Why do you want to know if the phone dies out of battery, the power bank also dies," replied Kiran relaxed as if nothing important happened to him. "I remember only yesterday morning the same morning yesterday I did not know you deh, why three days? Yes, sorry .. I swear accidentally!"


Radio voice communications from the climbing basecamp alerted rescue teams still on the ground to stop the search. Kiran has reached the climbing post safe, healthy without a defect.


Kiran finally apologized to the newly completed rescue coordinator instructing the SAR team to immediately go down and evaluate below.


Mbah Wiro called Kiran in particular, giving her some water to drink before asking her to speak with four eyes. Kiran drank the water without asking much because Septi had explained a little about Mbah Wiro.


"Where have you been, Kirana?" tanya Mbah Wiro.


"I'm lost, Mbah!" answer Kiran briefly.


"Who saved you?"


"I live in the house of Mr. Subarkah, his son who found me!"


Mbah Wiro bearded, "Do you know who Mr. Subarkah is?"


Kiran shook her head, "I knew he was a good person because he wanted to accommodate me who really needed help at that time."


"Where is Subarkah's house?"


Kiran was in a daze, her memory seemed to be cut off. The streets he went through with Candra to the caretaker's house did not appear in memory at all. "I forgot the road, but I remember the gate of his village in 1905."


"Hm, so you're there already huh? What have you seen in that village, Kirana?"


Kirana looked at Mbah Wiro with a confused expression, not knowing the meaning of the question. "Only a few houses, no electricity so I can't tell my friend that I'm okay."


Mbah Wiro looks irritated groan, "Yes already, go home soon! Get away from this place and never come back, you are too fragrant for a world you don't understand!"


Kiran did not cover anything. What Kiran said to Mbah Wiro was in accordance with the performance of his brain. His memory of Mr. Subarkah's house is very blurred, as well as his strange climb.


The rescue coordinator gave Kiran's backpack and also a tent found on top of the mountain. Nothing was lost when Kiran checked it.


The man in his thirties told Kiran to go home immediately and rest at home. Kiran's condition is physically good, but they suspect there is a psychological disorder even though it does not look severe.


After saying thank you, Kiran, Septi and Surya left the climbing monitor post.


Two hours later they arrived at the boarding house. Kiran's sumringah smile was imprinted on the corners of her lips that looked curved upwards. "Finally up to my room again, kangen gulingku!"


"Ran, you take a shower first! I want to buy breakfast next door" said Septi after putting down his backpack. "Sur, look after Kiran!"


**


During the week, Kiran lived her life as a normal student. The magical experience on the mountain does not necessarily make his soul disturbed. All the memories of the climb and Candra faded.


As long as Kiran doesn't climb that mountain again, maybe the Wiro Mbah fence on Kiran's body will still work well. Kiran sleeps well every night, with no nightmares of meeting the lemper-shaped white-clad mediocre that bothered her several times while on the mountain.


Tonight Kiran has to stay up late on her college assignments. Forcing the eyes that are tired and sleepy to stay open. Septi hasn't come home yet, so Kiran decides to wait for her best friend while fiddling with the report that should be collected tomorrow. He needs a Septi printer to print the report.


Kiran glanced at the coffee that had not been touched at all because she forgot to have it. The idea of disposing of the drowsiness appeared, Kiran went to the kitchen to cook water and make coffee.


The smell of pandan came out of the cup, tickling Kiran to immediately taste the still hot drink.


"It smells so good! It feels good too." Kiran's shattered memory wrecks slowly fused together, and two-thirds of the cup had moved into her stomach. "It shouldn't be sugar to be more steady!"


Kiran's body warms up. A small electric shock flowed from the full moon-shaped round object to the skin of his chest, then spread throughout the body.


Kiran touched the pendant hanging from her neck, and suddenly Kiran remembered someone she had forgotten this week. "Candra?"


However, Kiran was not strong enough to guard her eyes. He fell asleep in front of the sheets of paper he had to work on.


"Kira …." One heavy and hoarse voice called out in a very soft tone. Like a mountain breeze blowing slowly without breaking the leaves.


Kiran remembered who the young man who called out to her in such a manner. A soothing voice and able to arouse his passion to the surface.


In amazement, Kiran stared at the face she longed for present in the subconscious, smiling in a very charming manner. The face that had been removed by Mbah Wiro for a week was back.


"Mara …."


"Austria …."


A very beautiful dream, two people who miss each other meet. Clutching each other full of affection, like lovers who have been separated for many years.


"Kiran, Kiran .. Kiran, why sleep? Move to bed, Kiran!"


Kiran's goal was to hear Septi's voice. Her sleep is disturbed and her dreams disperse, breaking into sweet pieces of shadow that dance on Kiran's head.


"Damn!" Kiran opened her eyes, grumbling at Septi who had just entered her room. "You just got home?"


"Hm, close the door when you sleep!"


"Yes I'm waiting for you, I want a printer! My printer is out of ink" Kiran said.


The kost that Kiran and Septi occupied was next to the owner's mother house. They were only the two because the rooms provided were only two. There is a kitchenette and a bathroom in the back. Kiran occupied the front room, so Septi must have passed Kiran's room if it went in and out of the boarding house.


"Pake aja, will I bring you here? I also have a task for tomorrow, I have to overtime too like this!"


"Yes work here, stay up together! There's something I want to obrolin with you, I forgot about a week ago want a story!"


"I make a coffee jerk, you want to go? I want to finish like your coffee." Septi took Kiran's cup to take to the kitchen, gulping the contents down before being refilled.


PRANGS!!!


Septi dropped the cup in front of Kiran's room, his body staggering until it finally fell down. Blood comes out of the nose in the form of droplets. Nosebleeds.
