LAST CLIMB (EPS.1)
16. Keys

The sky outside still remained as usual, not so bright as to describe their current state that was still filled with mystery. Sunlight that tries to penetrate the dense foliage always run aground did not have time to touch the earth, as well as where they are now.

Slowly Beni opened his eyes that either since when he closed, because he may have forgotten the deep sense that used to always be felt on a soft mattress that since childhood always accompanied. Beni is in a room that is only made of knit mats and walls made of woven bamboo.

"Where is this?"

Mumbled Beni softly, his head that still felt dizzy and heavy began to go around observing and looking for another existence, he said, but what he saw was only an unconscious Arie lying beside him with so many wounds wrapped in makeshift cloths, Beni looked at him with pity, but slowly Beni also noticed his own condition that was not so much different from Arie, quite a lot of cloth wrapped in his wound that seemed to start drying. The pain he felt was still a little felt, his weak body began to re-powered. The series of events attempted to be collected by his brain memory in sequence until the last incident when he was surrounded by expressionless people who after the incident had no memory left until he opened eye.

"Do you realize Ben?"

Anita had just walked in and stood behind the door staring at her lover with a bitter look, because everything that had happened was so depressing, that she was so depressed, but there he was not alone because shortly entered was an old grandfather in all white clothes in line with a beard and mustache that grew not so much adorned his face, he said, do not forget to put on a charismatic smile that makes it so calm when viewed. For a moment Beni looked at him, ensuring the trust he had to give this time so as not to become a regret like before.

"Who is this grandpa?"

Beni asked with a little disbelief, because he thought it was perfectly natural for Beni to be like that, considering that the old devil worshiper's grandfather had lied to Beni and the others, by pretending to be kind to all of them.

"It's this brother who helped us Ben."

Anita said with a smile reassuring Beni, who was followed by a slow nod of the grandfather, which in the end made Beni believe completely.

"Don't be afraid, I don't mean to be evil, I want to help you."

Grandfather's words seemed to answer Beni's confusion about the question in his mind about everything that happened.

"My name is Khaidir, you can call me Ki Idir, I am not a native here, I have little need here with my students." Clearly again.

"What do we need?"

Beni asked astonishedly listening to Ki Idir's explanation just now. In Beni's view, Ki Idir's face was not so unfamiliar as he had met or seen it, only he could not find any memory of when or where he had seen it.

"Solve the business you're going through right now."

After that, Ki Idir explained everything that actually happened here and happened to them all, and after that Beni understood and really believed in everything said by Ki Idir.

Beni is trying to wake up and endure all the pain in his body, he intends to help and solve all the problems that occur to them in order to quickly return to their respective lives.

"You better wait here, someone will take care of you until you recover and get home soon."

The grandfather gave advice and hoped they would not have to be further involved with this event, enough that he and his students would solve it all.

"You are witnesses enough to the authorities, to let me and my students finish it."

The grandfather said gently, Beni tried to give up the business entirely to Ki Idir, but in his heart he also wanted to take revenge with everything that had happened to them, he said, especially replying to all Danu's treatment.

After that Ki Idir came out leaving them in a room that only walled with bamboo, and made of mats, in a small room measuring about 3x4 meters.

"Ta, where's Aini?"

Asked Beni who had not seen Aini around him since.

"He's on drugs again, it turns out that all this time Danu was targeting Aini, he's been dating everything."

Said Anita while staring at the distant light remembering the true story told by Ki Idir before.

"You mean?"

Beni did not understand what Anita meant.

"Everyone in the same story is a heretical caretaker all lies, he and Danu are the leaders of the cult on this mountain, he said, and Aini is the girl they chose because Aini has a special birthmark that meets the requirements of their final offering."

Anita's explanation can be understood a little, because Anita explained it in detail as described by Ki Idir.

"So? Is it possible that Danu has been planning everything for a long time?"

Anita nodded slowly. Beni keeps in mind what has happened to them, especially those related to Danu, trying to analyze every event they have experienced before
