OUR EARTH
CHAPTER 8 "The Soul of Explorers"

The Slamet Mountain Forest.

"Cici. cuit.. cici.. cuit, ngak. ngak," the sound of various types of birds with sauteed mingle to break the breadth of the forest. Mount Slamet forest is indeed known for many kinds of endemic birds. Even the Java Eagle which is categorized as an animal in the red list or endangered is also here although not much.

Today is my weekend. I, Budi and Sinta with Bang Kris, Mba Lili, and Bang Opik went to explore this area of Slamet Mountain Forest. We have all brought the items needed for exploration and have walked through the forest area.

We all came to see how the birds were, how they were habitat, and how they could breed. With binoculars clad around our necks, we could all easily see and watch over them. Every now and then we stopped walking to see if there were any bird species wandering around the forest using our binoculars.

"Lam Lam binoculars mu adep na duwur, I miki weruh ana Eagle mabur passing, (Lam Lam try your binoculars in the face up, I saw there was a flying eagle passing)," tell Budi to me.

"I then, according to my binoculars, pointed up, "Oh yes, Javanese Eagle Bud. Esih ana jebule,(oh yes, Javanese Eagle Bud. There are still turns)," I said happily as I continued to point my binoculars up.

"Indeed the Java Eagle in this forest area is still there even if only a little," said Bang Kris to me.

"Yes my juniors, therefore we must maintain the habitat so as not to become extinct. So it was fitting we entered the forest there is a ban on not hunting birds carelessly," explained Mba Lili.

"That's so," I said understand while the Budi and Sinta only beards.

"Bang Kris I sprained, liren sit yes,(Kak Kris I'm tired, rest first yes)," pinta Budi suddenly.

"Rest if you are tired. Brother, Mba Lili and Bang Opik will go first," Bang Kris let the three of us rest and said that he would go first with the others.

"Well Lam walkie talkies for you," Bang Kris then gave 3 communication tools to me and to my two friends as well.

"Later if there's anything contact us through it," he ordered.

"Good Bang understand," I nodded in understanding. Budi and Sinta also nodded.

"Thank you Bang" I said after that.

"Then we go up first you be careful" said Bang Kris to us.

"My juniors rest do not let you give birth to Mba wait for you at the top," said Mba Lili then went to follow Bang Kris.

"Te.. satay is just the beginning of the deck, you have to mentally prepare yourself better taye," he told us.

"Ready Bang," replied the three of us compactly.

"Ya Abang climbing taye see you taye," said Bang Opik.

"Well, be careful" I waved at them. Budi and Sinta also symbolize his hand.

"You too" cried Bang Kris who was far enough away but still heard our voices.

The three of us rested while the seniors went upstairs first. The three of us drank the water we had brought.

"Uh segerrr.... Adoh yoh,(uh fresarrr....Away well)," said Budi after drinking the water.

"Yes tengan, sikile I ngantek tempor, (yes it turns my legs until limp)," said Sinta while massaging his legs.

"Aduh aja nyerah temen lah jere arep dadi manungsa nature lovers yes kudu ready to face the risk, and,(other friends do not give up, he said he wanted to be a nature lover who must be ready to face risks)," I explained encouraging them both. I then drank my water.

"Iya Lam may be because of the first mbe," said the Sinta.

"Ko ra kel what?(you're not tired of what?)," asked Budi.

"Yes, that's fine" I replied, gasping for breath.

"Hayu jalan maning melasi sing lyaya ne wis ngenteni, (hayu road again pity others have been waiting)," invite me after feeling well rested.

Me, Budi and Sinta walked back up the forest. Just five steps away I heard the sound of a bird not far from me. Tampa base stale without any code I immediately turn to a different road. Budi and Sinta who saw me became confused. The two of them called my name but I ignored it and chose to keep walking to find the source of the voice.

"Lam Lam misguided straight by the turn, (Lam Lam misdirected straight)," call Budi commemorate me.

"Hayu Bud tut na,(ayo Bud follow)," Sinta asked him.

"Iya hayu arep ngendi jan ne kae, (iya let's go where he really is)," replied the Budi increasingly curious to me.

While I stopped and was surprised to see many nets set up to trap the birds to get entangled in. Since I couldn't bear it, I immediately released some birds that were trapped in the net. Whether it's a trap that belongs to who I don't care who the birds survive and can fly freely back to their habitat.

When I started releasing one bird at a time. Budi and Sinta came after. They were both equally surprised by me. But they were both afraid to help release the birds when I told them to let them go.

"The relationship of the patient pisan is not uculna siji-siji, (pity is very patient I will release one by one)," I said speaking to the birds.

"Bud, Sin aja meneng wae rewangi me free na manuk-manuk kiye lah,(Bud, Sin do not be silent, help me free these birds)," I rebuke them to help.

"Lam emong lah I wedi rich ne kiye anu wis deliberately in gawe ning wong, (Lam I'm not afraid it seems like this has been made by people)," refused the Sinta while shaking his head. While Budi only mangosteen agree with his words.

"Lah belih ra already care about the important sing manuk-manuk kiye on ucul mabur meng nggenohe, (let me not care what matters these birds are free to fly into place)," I rebut while continuing to release the birds.

"What is jere kiye sing nglakuk na? Check check check, (who exactly did this? Check check check check)," thought while clucking.

"Kiye man must, (this man must be)," I guess I muttered to myself.

The two of them with a little fear and worry ended up helping me. As the three of us released the birds into nature, three people who came out of nowhere reprimanded the three of us.

"Heh, what are you doing here?, (heh, what are you doing there?)" shouted someone from behind us.

The three of us were shocked and looked back.

"Gawat lam kayane kae wong sing duwe, (wate lam like that people who have)," said the Budi commemorate me.

"Iya Lam Hayu ran away, (iya Lam let's run)," said the Sinta invite me to run away.

"Aja run away to face them, if they really are the perpetrators of all this, I will meneng wae, (don't run let's face them, if they are the perpetrators of all this, I will see wae, (don't run let's face them, if they are really the perpetrators of all this, I will not be silent)," said I refused and chose on the spot.

"But...," the Sinta who saw me clenching my hands and chuckling at my stance immediately relented and did not run away.

Then one person checked the catch and was surprised that the catch was all gone.

The person who checked back in, approached and whispered to the person who was shouting at us.

"Pak Ming'un our catch kabeh ucul, they must be sing nglelasna, (Pak Ming'un our catch is all loose, must be those who release it), he whispered. Instantly the look on the face of the person named Mr. Ming'un was instantly red and glared at us.

Budi and Sinta started to get scared. They even hide behind me.

"Heh you, rancid boy wani wani ne breeb na in front of me, (heh you, rancid boy dare to free my catch)," he cried angrily at the three of us.

"Yes jar jare ra angel what dig gawe kalaan ne, (yes it is not difficult what makes the net)," angry his father another one.

I then moved closer to the three men.

"Yes, I'm leaving, sir, what's wrong?" I said, venturing.

"Malah takon, yes it is wrong sedina sewengi ngenteni results in front of the wis got even in cul na sepenake wae,(pake nanya, nanya, yes, it is clearly wrong one day last night to wait for the catch to be eh even released at will)," said Mr. Ming'un began to be irritated.

"Pak manuk manuk kae sizinge di detanna, pass nin on, (The birds are the size in release pity them)," I said advising.

"Yes remember what Bapake on the edge of manuk, what is the rare work of liya?(yes why his father was in captivity to birds, what other rare work?)," Sinta began to advance venturing.

"Basic e mbok ning ngarep wis ana banale kon aja nangkepi manuk. Canapa still in the buroni?, (basically in front of the right there is a prohibition not to catch birds. Why is it still in the hunt?)," I said in an annoyed tone.

"We nek ra nangkepi manuk nggo dedol, our family arep delehi what. Ko ko on tah nu snot kah cah wingi ra gadang ngerti, (we otherwise catch birds to sell our families want in love what. You are only a child who snot yesterday who understands), "the other father explained.

"Bapake can not do the work of lyane, pass the manuk-manuk kiye wis again specks e even in the bide, (but his father can find other work, he could find another job, pity these birds are already a little bit even on the stalk)" I explained giving advice to them.

"Akuh kiye a very angel boy in omongi (oh this is a very difficult child in nonsense)," said Mr. Ming'un slowly.

"Pak Gawa wae we sandra them, (Pak take us a hostage them)," suggested one of the men.

Hearing the word sandra I immediately wanted to run away but my legs could not be moved. As if I wasn't allowed to leave.

"Capture them tie them to the tree" Mr. Ming'un told two of his friends.

The moment the two men wanted to arrest us on the orders of the Boss, Sinta and I immediately dodged and started fighting them.

While Budi who had been hiding behind a tree, immediately contacted Bang Kris to ask for help. He picked up a walkie talkie and contacted her.

"Bang Bang Kris hello hello 123 Bang Bang test," he called through his walkie talkie.

While in different areas Bang Kris and others were resting while waiting for the three of us. At that time there was also a crackle sound from walkie talkie owned by Bang Kris. He also lifted it up.

"Bang Kris Bang Kris hello hello," Budi's voice called out to him.

"What's going on Bud?" ask her after lifting her walkie talkie.

"Bang Kris cepetan mudun Alam ro Sinta on the again gelut karo wong cepetan,(Kak Kris cepetan down Alam and Sinta again fighting the same person, spiny)," reported the Budi panicked while asking for his help.

"Okay Bud, Kaka will be there soon" he replied after receiving a message from Budi.

"Okay Kris" replied Mba Lili ready.

"Taye what problem they are taye," muttered Bang Opik as he walked.

the three of them ran down the mountain with the help of a compass. Bang Kris has received an emergency signal from Budi.

...🧗🧗🧗🧗🧗🧗...

While Sinta and I are still trying to fight back. Si Sinta turned out to be a fight too. I was a little impressed to see it. While Budi who was hiding was forced to come out to try to break up.

"Sir wis wis wija on gelut," the Budi tried to divorce our quarrel.

"PUKK," stray hands shot into her cheeks.

"Oh," the Budi instead of successfully divorcing even he got a tonjok pak high stature.

"Jan Bapake lara, (ih Bapake is sick)," he said as he stroked his sore cheek.

"Pak Wis sis just let our emotions talk carefully," I said trying to stop Mr. Ming'un who was about to attack me.

"It is noisy and noisy with my kick" he said as he ran to kick me.

I dodged and it was unexpected that the Father fell to the ground.

"Bocah asem ngeneh ko advanced," his challenge to me while standing.

When I wanted to move forward with doubt, Bang Kris and others came. Bang Kris directly twisted Mr. Ming'un's hand from behind.

"For mercy lara geez," Mr. Ming'un cried out in pain.

"I'll let you go if I promise. We're talking about it carefully" he said, emphasizing his words.

"Yes yes," replied Mr. Ming'un promised.

Bang Kris released Mr. Ming'un, his men instantly stopped attacking my friends.

"The master of the actions of Mr. Iki was wrong to repeat," Bang Kris gave a warning to them.

"But Mas, I ra kiye rich kiye my mbojo son in empani what?, (but Mas, I if not this my wife's child in love to eat what?)," he said sad.

"Father can find another job," said Mba Lili provide a solution.

"Golet work saiki angel Mas Mba, (search for work now difficult Mas, Mba)," he said.

"Kiye bae I have a solution father-father can let the birds breed in nature first, continue Bapake can sell by adoption. You can send photos and videos of birds that are laying eggs and hatching until they fly. An example like this already exists in the Menoreh Region and it works sir," Bang Kris explained one solution he had previously studied.

"Alright we will try," replied Mr. Ming'un agreeing.

I could only listen to be amazed by Bang Kris who could easily advise and provide solutions to them.

"Thank you for your advice and we're sorry for making you careless" he said apologizing to all of us.

"Peggih Pak saiki Mr. bali ngenehi ngerti maring citizens of liyane cara mau kiye yes,(yes sir now you go home to other residents this way yes)," bang Kris's advice to the fathers.

"Swept nggih Mas matursuwun we say goodbye,(yes yes sorry. Thank you, we say goodbye)," said the Fathers.

The man went down the mountain and left us.

...🏊🏊🏊🏊🏊🏊...

While in Anakan Cilacap Beach Central Java.

It appears that Bang Betrus was describing the name and function of the diving tool on Frank and Clara.

"This must be you know, this is called a Mask or Mask to protect the eyes," he guessed and told the name of the tool and its function.

"That's what I know, sister," replied the Clara.

yes brother, replied the Frank as well while nodding.

"The second Dive Regulator serves to drain air into the mouth when breathing in water. The use of this tool is to breathe through the mouth.understand," he explained again.

"Understand Brother" said the two of them as they were bearded.

"If the other functions how do you understand?", he asked the two of them.

I learned it last night, but I forgot a little bit about it" Clara said, pointing to the belt-like device.

"Oh this is called Weight belt/Integrated Weights is a kind of ballast for us in the water," explained Bang Doel who happened to be installing his tool on his body.

"Oh so," Clara and Frank nodded in understanding.

"Now you two understand?" ask Bang Bethrus again to make sure.

"Sister" answered the two of them.

"If you've both used all these tools, then we start diving in" Mba betti told Frank and Clara.

"Ready sister" they answered back.

Frank and Clara along with Bang Betrus, Mba Betti and Bang Doel have been using diving tools and now they are ready to dive to the bottom of the sea.

Marine biota there is quite a lot and clean Coral reefs are also so many. Small fish approached Frank and others.Once in a while they photographed the natural beauty of it. They all had fun in the sea until they returned to the surface.

"Wah very good miki ning njero sea well, (that was very good in the sea well)," said the Frank was amazed plus seneng.

"Yes Frank slick pisan, miki I finally ngetul iwake directly ning mbayu. Senenge, (yes Frank is very good, I was finally able to touch the fish directly in the water. Glad)," said Clara who also felt happy

"Yes our purpose here is to check whether the people around the beach guard the beach well or not" explained Mba Betti to them.

"And it turns out that the people around here have been trained to maintain the marine biota," continued Bang Betrus

"Yes Alhamdulillah fishermen have also been many who lure the fish in the right way," timpal bang Doel was also happy.

"Indeed they weren't like this bang?" ask Frank about his senior.

"Yes my junior, the people here are still fishing using tiger trawls as a result of the marine biota being damaged" replied Mba Betti explained.

"But now they are all aware and have been explained by the government and there are fines for people who violate it. Residents here are closely monitored not to do things that can harm the fish in this sea," continued Bang Betrus also explained.

"Oh so big sister.thank God they have returned to the right path," said the Clara relieved.

"Yes I'm in the seneng denger e," said the Frank chimed in.

While I, Budi and Sinta are still in the forest area of Mount Slamet. We all stopped at the area on the vast grass and saw Mount Slamet towering in front. We all want to perform Dhuhur and Ashar prayers in a mushroomed way. Previously we had all taken wudu water in the nearby river. We prayed with Bang Kris. We all pray in the wild and face the mountain.

About ten minutes we had all finished praying and were about to go back down to the usual path. But when we were down the mountain we were stopped by a boar that if in my place the name 'pig'. We slowly retreated and remained motionless as previously taught.

About fifteen minutes we waited, silent until I began to feel soreness in the leg area plus the vibration of my feet that did not stop because of long standing. We're all watching the boar move. The boar just wandered around us until finally his body turned and ran. We are all relieved to escape the danger.

"Huh thanks celeng e wis lunga nyong deg-degan really, (huh thank God the boar had gone I deg-degan very much)," said Budi felt relieved while stroking his chest.

"In Bud it feels like my heart is to be dislodged," Sinta also felt it.

"Yes sikil ku ngantek wis geter ngenteni celeng sing ngayer-ngayer ra lunga-lunga, plus atiku sing dag-dig-dug ser kiye, kiye,(yes my legs to the trembling waiting for the wild boar that walks in the place not to go, plus my heart that dag-dig-dug this ser)," I said to them.

"Sure all," Bang Kris asked the situation of all of us.

"Alhamdulillah Bang safe," I said while looking around the corner of the forest to make sure. I was afraid that there would be danger facing us again

"OK we go down," he asked.

"Good Bang" said the three of us.

"You must be vigilant lest we meet any more wild animals," he told us, then just walked down the forest.

"Ready Bang" said the three of us again.

"Slow down" Mba Lili ordered to all of us.

"Okay Mba Lili" I replied.

We continue our journey carefully and remain vigilant. And until we all came out of the forest safely. This is the soul of the explorer never give up even though life is at stake.
