the dark sky with the rain falling along with the strong wind did not make them give up.
" aunty, is the place still far away? the weather is getting worse I'm afraid the river water will overflow" Rania said, holding her jacket firmly to protect her head from the wind and rain.
" no, a little more we arrive in the cave" pointed karina.
rania nodded in understanding then accelerated her steps in the follow of the others, they were silent without any sound at all paying attention to the road and its surroundings by holding onto their respective objects to protect their bodies.
sure enough, it does not take long now they are in front of the cave that karina means.
" go up" orders karina to give a plant root that is connected to the mouth of the goa.
the mouth of the cave is in the middle of the rock hill, making them have to climb to reach there.
rania first went upstairs, followed by ike, then galen ,deon ,mail and lastly nendra who was holding the scarf with the girl's body in a tie firmly attached to her back .
karina helps keep the body balanced and makes it easier for nendra to climb. whereas others help from above .
arriving at the mouth of the cave, his friends help untie the bonds of shalfa and nendra. shalfa hugged by rania so that his body does not fall into the moist soil.
" where are we going now, this cave seems uninhabited?" galen.
" yes, where are they?" ask ike.
" they are inside in a special room, they are waiting for your arrival" explained karina stepped first in the follow of the others.
" let me carry it, you must be tired" said the mail who saw nendra was about to take the body of the scarf back from the arms of Rania.
" no need, you just walk with the others, let me carry it" said nendra
" well, but if you need help, you can tell me" the mail said.
" yes" replied the short nendra and then lifted back the body of the shalfa.
" are you okay?" ask rania.
" yes, I'm good" answered nendra.
the two stepped up to follow their friends who had walked first to follow karina into the cave.
they pass through dark alleys with droplets of water seeping from the moist soil around the cave, there are several paths make them frown in wonder. it turns out the cave they enter is quite large and spacious, and, not what it looks like out there.
karina's steps came to a halt as they had entered an extremely spacious room.they all stared at the room in astonishment.
on seeing the big yellow-leafed tree growing at dawn in the middle of the spacious room, under the tree there was a large stone with a flat surface, there was a small river around it , makes the atmosphere look beautiful and soothing.
" wow, this is really amazing, how can in the cave there are plants of this size" said ike .
" yes, look ! the leaves alone are yellow instead of green" mail said.
" where are they? I couldn't see it" rania asked karina, without poking at the others who were still staring at the place in amazement.
everyone closed their eyes for a few minutes, then opened their eyes again.
sure enough, the room that was once quiet without residents, now looks full.
galen and deon's eyes widened, shocked by the scene before him. Their faces were indeed not sinister, but they were flat and very pale looking towards him.
" welcome back.you should immediately lay the body of the scarf on the stone" said ki wicak.
" aki, what exactly happened? why did the scarf become like this?" ask rania
" put the body down first there, I'll explain later" replied ki wicak.
rania looked at nendra, then nodded her head .nendra walked up to the bedar stone under the yellow-leafed tree, then laid it down with a heart.nendra looked at the pale face of the scarf and its cold body, but not at all moving from there, nendra chose to stand by leaning his back against the bedar stone, grasping the hands of a soft scarf.
" come here young people" said ki wicak who saw nendra instead waiting for the existence of the body of the shalfa.
" no, I'll be here looking after her, you guys just go ahead, I'll hear it" said Nendra.
" well" replied ki wicak," basic human bucin" he said in his heart.
ki Wicak looked at those who were staring at him with demanding gazes, like asking for an explanation.
ki wicak exhaled 'em, then began to explain." the scarf wouldn't wake up, before his soul returned, he was now trapped in the demon country" said ki wicak.
" the demon country? how come?" said Rania who was surprised as well as the others.
" yes, mario's gemstone took him there, I think there's something there. Syalfa won't be able to come back, before she gets what's the reason she's there" she said.
" do you mean aki? shalfa should get mario's gemstone pieces?" ask karina.
" it can be said that, it can also be more than that" said ki wicak.
" wait, wait a minute. What are you talking about? I don't understand gemstones at all? and who's mario?" tanya deon seemed to represent the curiosity of nendra and galen.
"mario is a student who used to be stuck like us, he's a firm, cold and brave man. Mario also has the privilege, there is a blue gemstone in his body, as his body was thrown into the stone-generating flames it broke into seven pieces and flew around in the air, then one of the pieces entered into the body of the scarf, which was then, and 6 more pieces scattered somewhere" explained rania.
" waaah is great, just like in a fairy tale of knights" deon said.
" why did the piece get inside the scarf's body?" ask nendra who feels awkward about the story.
" because of the scarf of the person closest to mario, she is the lover of the shalfa, a childhood lover who has just met, but fate toyed with their love story, they look for each other for each other in a very long time, but when fate brings them together, they are again separated in a terrible way, mario is killed for protecting the scarf, it makes the scarf hit and become an untouchable and cold figure to anyone, even now that the scarf is reluctant to deal with those who are invisible, the scarf seems to be deaf and blind, completely unwilling to see the surroundings" explained rania.
nendra was silent, his gaze fixed on the beautiful face, there was pain in his chest when he knew the shalfa had his true love.
" wow, what a romantic, there is rarely a lover who is willing to sacrifice himself like that" deon said without noticing the change in the look of his best friend's face.
in contrast to galen who is sensitive to the feelings of nendra at this time.Galen looked at his best friend in silence..
