LAST CLIMB (EPS.1)
17. Past Times

"Hello, introduce my name Danu, I'm moving from one of the Sundanese cities in West Jaban, the same famous name of the food, namely tofu, salam know."

Danu introduced herself in front of her new friends in class XI ips 3, because she is a transfer student from one of the cities located in West Java area, Danu is a friendly person, he said, it is because of his hospitality that he is easy to get along with his new friends and can certainly be quick to get along with them. Arie was his best friend because Arie was sitting alone, and it seems that Arie is a little ostracized by the others either because he is an ordinary child or indeed people do not like it too much. Arie looks more alone at least when in that class, he is more silent like no matter what, and vice versa, others don't seem to care about him much either. Even Arie had not been to school for almost a week due to illness, but during that time no one of his classmates came to see the situation.

"Danu Cave."

Danu invites Arie to meet by extending a hand. At first glance Arie glanced but did not care so much for the new child, in his shadow Danu will behave the same as his other classmates.

"Orie."

Arie answered briefly while accepting Danu's hand office.

Arie who sits alone always looks moody, no matter what problems he is facing, but for Danu he is someone who is fit to be made a friend, but for Danu, but Danu still has to be careful of new people, because she does not know the background of the person she just knew, for that Danu plans to investigate Arie first, he said, after that, you will determine the next step.

The lesson on that day was so boring, no one entered the memory of Danu and Arie, they looked so lazy to follow him, hinngga finally break time arrived, Arie rushed to the cafeteria, because there he always gathered with others, who considered him really as a friend.

"Rie, where are you going?"

Danu asked when she saw Arie going out of class, after cleaning books and other stationery into a bag and put it in her desk drawer.

"Cantin."

Arie answered Danu's question briefly and then moved his feet a little quickly.

"Eeh wait for Rie, the cave's coming!"

Without waiting for Arie's approval, Danu immediately ran a little after Arie who walked fast enough to have passed the next classroom.

It only took a few minutes until they reached the school cafeteria which was at the very back of the school complex. Once in the cafeteria, Beni and Randy wave their hands at Arie giving a code that they are already there.

"Ah long loe."

Said Beni, a little grunt annoyed because of the habit of Arie who sometimes likes to be late.

"Sory, that was Mr. Iwan's lesson."

Arie tried to explain the reason why he could come late, but for Beni it was just a justification and self-defense, not so considered by Beni.

"Yes, get to know us, our new school student."

Arie introduces Danu to Randy and Beni, they shake hands and introduce each other, and it seems like Danu is easy to get along with Arie's friend, because after talking apparently they have the same hobby, namely adventure, a hobby that is often done by men who like adrenaline and challenges.

"Yes, we've climbed several times, but to a mountain that's not too high anyway."

Randy tells the experience of the three of them when climbing to several mountains in the area of West Java, but from the story that Randy tells absolutely no experience that is too challenging.

"What if we after graduation will conquer Jayawijaya? The highest mountain in Indonesia, must be cool anyway, for our last moment."

Suddenly Beni gave a suggestion to the others, which turned out they were thinking the same thing, which was to make the last climb before they were preoccupied with their respective affairs.

"Byeah, it's good to be rich up there."

Randy agrees to Beni's proposal.

"Where's rie?"

"The cave is up to you."

Arie just resigned to accept their decision, because he knows, his opinion is sometimes more often not heard, especially by Beni.

"Alah, don't want to be a coward of rich Arie Ran, cemen kaya is where dare to go up the rich high mountain Jayawijaya."

Beni's words are always impressed to underestimate others, but it is no longer strange for Randy and Arie because they have known for a long time, but it is not strange anymore, and Arie doesn't seem to mind when treated like that by Beni.

"When what and? Wanna come with me?"

Randy asked who had seen Danu silence since then did not give his opinion about their plans for a moment of separation.

Danu who was suddenly asked became a little awkward.

"The cave? So the cave is also invited?"

"Yes, that's also if you want to come with us. Aren't you?"

Arie and Beni nod to justify Randy's words to make Danu happy, not because of the sincere intentions of the three of them, but because Danu himself already has a personal goal and plan, and it seemed that his goal had been made easy by the three of them, and now he only needed to devise a new plan so that everything would become easier.

"Finally my goal this time will be achieved, the failure of the previous year will not be repeated again, even women with special characteristics seem to be here, I just have to be patient looking for it, I just need to be patient looking for it, looks like there's still enough time until I find the girl."

Danu smiled, her mind was already very far away and slowly carried out her planned intentions very carefully. Just wait for the time to come until he can reap the results of his hard work so far.
