Ghaib Explorer (Gaib Pawang Group)
Chapter 8: Sesajen Gunung Lawu 3 (Mudun)
The descent climbs repeatedly Bella and her friend pass. Time goes on and the clock keeps turning. Their energy is getting drained.
Plus, since Rio's been bergigau not because of someone. He did not say his name, but he just pointed up at the trees.
"Stop first! I'm hungry, Bel!" pram said both hands were on his knees. With a breath of breath he looked towards Bella who was carrying the logistics.
"Yes, we'll eat first!" bella said and took off her bag.
But there Tyas held him. He looked at Bella seriously. Bella was only able to stare at Tyas with question marks.
"What?" ask Bella.
"You say we only have a time limit of three!" reply Tyas reminded of the mystical events they experienced on top of the peak there.
"Aren't you hungry, Tyas?" ask Bella to Tyas.
Bella noticed Tyas' face was so frightened. Even her hand that was on Bella's shoulder was now firmly grasping.
"Sir Bell! We better get down now!" reply Tyas firmly.
Seeing that, Bella turned her head back to look at her three friends.
"Tyas, don't we stop here! Cook for half an hour, why make a fuss?" ask Yono to Tyas.
Tyas was only able to bow hearing that. His argument was not supported by his friends. Bella looked back at Tyas who was looking down. Seeing that, Bella was only able to let out a long sigh.
"We stopped for half an hour! After that we just continue again," Bella told Tyas.
There was nothing Tyas could say anymore at this moment. He can only do what his friends want. It was also impossible for him to go down alone now. Whatever happens, they must stay five.
In the end they stopped. The big trees were flanking them. Underneath them they were currently cooking. The mainstay of the climbers is instant noodles.
When the food is cooked. They also devoured it. Hunger felt, but only Rio was still silent while staring up at the trees. Rio did not eat his food at all.
"His eyes were more empty, my mother!" bella said as she nudged Yono who was sitting beside her.
"That kind of thing is beyond our intellect and ability, Bella! So, inevitably Rio has to get down from this mountain!" yono to Bella.
"Yowes, Ndang finish your meal! Let's get us down!" bella told Yono.
Yono nodded hearing that. Eve there is getting colder. The weather just so happens to be sunny.
The sky above had no sign of cloudiness at all. Beautiful Lawu with all the curves of its shape. But keep the mystery deep enough to make the feathers bristling.
Carriers are already on their shoulders. Their watches show at twelve noon. A trip down will usually take shorter time than a ride. When all the luggage is done they clean. They also walked back.
Tyas is in the middle of the group along with Bella. Since then he has rubbed his neck. Bella, who felt strange, asked him.
"You why? Is anyone sick?" bella asked Tyas, enthusiastic.
Mas Yono heard the conversation and turned his head and stopped. They watched Tyas still rubbing the back of his own neck.
"Hot Bell!" answer Tyas to him.
Bella who felt strange also revealed the unraveled Surai Tyas. How surprised he was when he saw a red scar like a hand that was like clutching Tyas' neck.
"Loh!" bella screamed when she saw that.
"What's up, Mom?" asked Tyas who was starting to get scared.
When Pram was about to answer what happened to him. Bella beckoned him to remain silent.
Because they are still on the mountain. Saying what happened here is not true. The mystical experience on the mountain can be said when they are already far from the mountain.
"Why, Bel?" ask Tyas again to Bella.
Bella just smiled hearing that. He patted Tyas' shoulder slowly, which was still behind him, trying to see what had happened to him.
"What a hell! That's a rangrang ant bite!" bella tries to calm down.
In the midst of her busyness that was currently trying to calm Tyas down. The sound of Rio's cry made them simultaneously stare back.
"Please... Forgive me... Forgive Mbah, forgive me!!!" she was hysterical while looking ahead.
The two eyeballs were rounded full of the same scream that kept being repeated over and over again.
Bella and Mas Yono stared at each other for a moment. Then they looked ahead. It was about ten steps away from where they were standing.
An old man dressed in Javanese custom with a cap, stood right in front of them. The grandfather carried the celurit he had pinned on his side.
"Here is Mas, Ma'am? No nyasar?" ask the old man to them.
Both Bella and her friend just kept quiet hearing that. But there Rio still continued to shout incoherently while staring fearfully at the Old Grandfather.
"Excuse Mbah, we're going down this by chance!" reply Pram politely while bowing.
"Kae I live ae Mas! Cah kae I have a responsibility!" old Grandpa said to them.
For a moment in the distance Bella tried to watch the old man with her abilities.
He tried to focus on the old man. Slowly the old grandfather's form changed in his view. The grandfather was none other than the same person they had met on top of the mountain peak.
"Sorry, if we disturb the peace of Mbah! Sorry if our friend made a mistake here! If you can, please let us go down according to the time limit that Mbah gave!" bella said she ventured to talk here.
The Old Grandfather laughed loudly, big. His laughter seemed to fill the entire area. Even her voice made Bella and her friend close their ears.
The Old Grandfather then looked at them sharply. Both of his eyes were red. Celurit who was just sitting beside his waist flew towards him. The human-like teeth slowly turned into long fangs.
The fingers that once belonged to a human, changed in length with his nails. Black feathers filled his body. The once clear sky instantly blackened to get a night without a full moon. The forest darkened and they were blinded instantly.
Oh Allah!. Bella said in her heart. Referee-was like he saw the figure turn into a big height.
"You guys have told me to come down, right? Down ***!" said the big tall figure was wrathful.
Tyas cried sobbing he was frightened to see what was in front of him. Likewise with Pram who was holding Rio who was still shouting.
Mas Yono was still fixated on not being able to move seeing what was before him. Realizing that all her friends were scared, Bella also patted Mas Yono's body.
"Mas.. Mas... Come Malay!" bella said to him.
Repeatedly patted by Bella made Yono aware. The five of them immediately fled before the huge tall figure.
