Hey Indigo Girl (The Series) TAMAAAAAT!!!!
48. mountain ride

"Eh, climb yuk," Ari chirped suddenly.

"Climbed? Climbing a mango tree? Climb what?" timpal Radit.

"Yes, climb the mountain, Dit! "

"Yes, good idea. I haven't been up a mountain in a long time either" Danu said.

"All that refreshing, gaes." Ari kept influencing us to agree to his idea.

He was indeed attending MAPALA at school, so he did go up the mountain most among us.

"Whatever. I'm not going to follow you" said Doni casually.

"okay.. Tomorrow is the weekend.

Don't forget, bring enough supplies. We're gonna get it."

"Eh,nginep?" ask Alya who is now speaking.

"Yes dong, Al.. Time is not nginep. Not knowing."

Mba Alya glanced at Brother Arden who was sitting next to her. "It's okay. There will be me."

"Cie ... Ehem.." our cheers were compactly mocked at the two of them, who were now blushing their faces in shame. Well, that's how this idea started. Mountain riding. Honestly, this is the first time I've done this. Usually just hiking at the campground, then go home in the afternoon or evening. Never been to the top.

This Saturday afternoon we gathered at my house. For what else, if not to continue our mountaineering plan, Eum... Ari's plan to be more precise. We just follow along.

Mount Slamet has a height of 3425 MDPL is included in the second highest mountain in Java. In climbing the top of Mount Slamet, of course, the climbers can pass several paths, jars, bamboo trails, baturaden trails, or dukuhliwung trails.

We passed the baturraden line.

There are several horror stories that are neatly covered behind the beauty of nature, one of the most famous stories heard is the story of the magical kingdom gate that is on the hiking trail known as the bambangan track. According to the story of this path has two large trees that become the gate to the kingdom of jinn who ruled on Mount Slamet.

Still on the path of the bambangan, according to the story after passing two large trees then the climbers will be faced with post V or familiarly called post Samaratu. According to the story this post is the most haunted stopover point on Mount Slamet, and here it is not recommended to set up a tent and stay overnight.

At least this has often been proven by a number of climbers, supposedly in this post inhabited by a jinn figure that often gives a horror feel like mystical sounds to some other strange events. Until now the climbers have not dared to set up a tent in the post Samaratu.

In Radit and Doni's car, we got there.

To start the climb, we were first at basecamp, Radenpala.

There we also check the equipment we will bring. Don't let anyone get left in the car. After everything was complete, we started walking towards post 1.

From basecamp to post 1 is approximately 1 hour away.

There will be a lot of pine forests. Until post 1 we take a short break.

"It's still strong, isn't it, Al?" ask brother Arden to mba Alya.

Mba alya nodded accompanied by her trademark smile. Among us, Alya is the weakest. So that brother Arden paid close attention to him.

"Ai, you're still strong, right?" ask Radit who's sipping water he's carrying.

I nodded in response.

"Did? Cie ... Ai ... Disguised calls, let's not know," said Doni giggled amusedly.

"Emang Ai what the hell, Beb?" ask Kiki.

"It means dear. Japanese, sweety. "

"Oh that ... Ih, so sweet deh," cried Kiki, "dad, don't you call me Radit's rich?"

"Well, ntar taper, sweety. We've been using bebeb's call as sweety. Ah, no need to change."

Bebeb and sweetie? Doesn't it sound tacky, huh? Ah, nevermind.

"Oh my goodness, mulu's courtship huh. Hadeh." Dedy shook his head while grunting.

"Yes. Wonder. You four couples who like to splash and make us keki," rfor Ari.

"That's the pain of jones," muttered Radit while tos with Doni and then accompanied giggling indistinctly.

"Udah. Hitherto. Yuk continued again," asked Danu who was very enthusiastic today.

From post 1 to post 2 is a 3-hour drive. The track is the same as before.

Filled with pine forests where.

So far I have not felt anything strange. There must be many astral beings here. There is even a myth that says, there are dwarf creatures that are here.The dwarf creature was once a human who lost when climbing Mount Slamet and finally could not return to the bottom.

The dwarf originally tried to survive by eating leaves like animals, but over time the dwarf lost its identity because it lived too long like an animal. These dwarf creatures like to hide because they are afraid to meet climbers.

POS 2 - POS 3 (2 hours)

Towards Post 3 we will meet a heavy track. In Post 3 is a favorite location to set up a tent and spend the night for the morning summit attack or the trip to the top.

My breath began to sting. Often even very often I have to stop to catch my breath. I restored the rhythm of my lungs so that my heart would not pump blood too hard.

And finally we set up a tent and spend the night here. There are 3 tents we have set up. We also made a bonfire.

all Ari's doing because he knows better. We just help her, and all the instructions from Ari.

Me, Mba Alya and Kiki one tent.

Radit, Doni, Danu and Dion in the tent on our right.

Brother Arden, Dedy, and Ari in the tent to our left.

It's getting dark.

"Mba Al, first time going up the mountain?" I asked as we talked in the tent.

"Yes, Tha. Firwst time. It used to be just hiking, it's not too far, just around the bumper."

*bumper: campground

"Sama dong's. I'm also."

"Superficial yes," muttered Kiki while sleeping in her sleeping bag.

"Sleep? Sure, Ki? Don't want to enjoy the natural atmosphere in the mountains?" my many.

"Hm ... It's easy. At most I'm crashing aja, Tha."

And he closed his eyes. Either sleep or just sleep.

Faintly faint from the back of the sleeping kiki, I was stunned to see the shadow passing by. The shape is high.

I looked up for a moment and stared at the shadow passing by.

Mba Alya waved her hand in front of my face, "Tha... Aretha? What the hell are you?"

I realized then looked at Mba Alya accompanied by a thin smile.

'Who is it?'

"I'm out right now, mba," I said.

Out of curiosity I checked the conditions outside. While outside, another friend was making a meal with a campfire.

I looked up, looking for the shadows that were around my tent. However, I didn't meet anyone outside.

I finally joined them. Calculate all warms the body, because the longer the air temperature feels colder.

I sat next to Arden. But I still occasionally look back, brother Arden who realized my anxiety and then come to look like me.

"Why?"

"Related?"

I turned to brother Arden,"hmm.. Someone passed by on the deck of my tent, brother."

Arden really understands me. So if there's anything I'm thinking, then Arden's brother knows.

"That's yeah... It's not papa. Not just any nosy."

Finally, what these men cooked was cooked as well.

Ah-bodo very good, not good. Hungry up.

Mba Alya was also called, but Kiki even slept soundly. I finally let him.

At 22:00

Some of us are getting sleepy. I took Alya into the tent to sleep. So that tomorrow our trip will be smoother. Because it will be heavier.

Just now that I had started to enter the dreamland, suddenly someone shook my body.

"That... Aretha.. Get up," whine someone. From the sound of her voice, this must be kiki.

I forced it to open my eyes.

"Ta.. Lappeeeeer..."

"Yes my.. Wrong himself from earlier sleep mute," Gerutuku, asphalt.

"End sleepy, Tha," he whined, "sook.. Temenin out. There's no food."

I snorted bitterly, "he's already,yuk ah."

Finally I accompanied him to find food near the campfire.

Outside there are still Radit and Doni who are good at talking.

"Why haven't you slept, huh?" ask Radit.

"This.. There's a lax person," I replied as I glanced at Kiki.

"You're sleeping a lot, baby" said Doni.

"People sleepy, how to try again, Beb," his defense.

Kiki this if you're asleep, beuhhh rich people die. There was an earthquake he did not feel. Very bad.

"But there is no food. Toughest... Boiled beans," Radit said as he pointed at the boiled beans they were eating.

"Well, little bgt. Less dong, Dit.." whining Kiki.

"Mistake it yourself" muttered Radit.

"Yes already.. I'm looking for yams in deket here huh.. We'll burn it again. Pretty right, make your stomach odd," exclaimed Doni.

"Wait, Don!!" I glanced over there.

"Why?"

"You are not alone. I'm tenenin yuk," I said.

Danger is also if he goes alone, afraid of stray. Actually that's not the main reason, I'm just afraid he's bullied by these subtle-creatures of the mountain.

"Eh. uh... I'm also going ah.." Radit followed.

Finally the four of us went together looking for yams. Around us there are a lot of sweet potatoes.

Armed with a flashlight we began to explore the bush.

With a very careful step, we looked for yams for Kiki.

Fear of wild animals, such as snakes. Because there must be a lot of wild animals here.

"Duh, the sweet potato is small," muttered Doni as she plucked the yam plant she found.

"Well, it's not enough dong." - whinek Kiki. Besides sleeping, she likes to eat too.

Most of his yam plants are still short, automatic sweet potatoes are also still small.

"Where do you want to dong?" ask Kiki who is starting to be impatient.

"Eh... Are you guys horrified?" radit exclaimed in style while sharpening his hearing.

"What the hell?"

"Dengerin deh," tell Radit again

I also sharpened my hearing. He's horrified what the hell?

"There gaes, shouted Kiki girly and Directly ran small towards the voice.

We were surprised to see what was in front of us.

There's market!

Kiki went straight into the crowd of people there.

The three of us still couldn't believe it.

"Any no? Is there a market in the middle of the gini forest?" ask Radit.

"It's so weird" said Doni.

"Take Kiki back!!!" my orders.

Doni instantly pulled Kiki out of the crowd of people there.

Kiki doesn't hear Doni. Eventually Radit and I pulled Kiki along.

I hit people there a few times.

But when I look, they're weird.

Their expressions were flat and cold. Their faces are pale too.

"Thaaa!!!" radit yelled out while pulling my hand.

"What??"

"Look at that" he whispered.

When I saw the trade they were selling, I shuddered in horror.There were some hands and organs of the human body.

I was sick and almost vomiting. But I hold as much as I can. Radit helps Doni take Kiki away .

With great difficulty, we made it out of that market.

It must be the magical market I hear about here a lot.

Luckily, Kiki had not bought anything there. You can never go back to eating food there.
