Pickup Transportation
Part 77: Getting Lost 2
9 DAYS AGO
“All ready?” Nanto the chairman asked his entourage, they are relatives invited to go up the mountain, Nanto quite often climb the mountain because his hobby has indeed climbed the mountain since before marriage, after marriage he often went up the mountain with his wife.
His job is a chicken egg entrepreneur, quite successful in his village, so having a hobby that is done often does not make his work disturbed, because the boss can arrange his work as needed.
The purpose of going up the mountain together is to celebrate the thirteenth year of marriage he and his wife, with him, with their two young children, nieces and nephews who are twenty years old and above, on average still in college and work, they are invited to enliven the atmosphere.
Nanto was a good uncle, he often shared his school, paid his nephews to go to college and many more charitable activities that he often did.
No wonder his business runs smoothly because he is indeed a person who cares very much about the environment and also the twofa.
“SIMAKSI ive already Om?” asked one of his nephews named Ardin, he studied at the University of Indonesia, the base money used to be paid by Nanto, he was not too much a hobby to climb the mountain, but when invited he wanted to, just want to, because there is no need to go out of money at all, he said for experience, free anyway.
“Udah Din, we ride parallel yes, all must be in line, occasionally counting, Om sweaper trus Anto Leader yes, if anyone is sick or not strong, we all stop, we all stop, can't anyone go first or be left behind, understand all?” Nanto asked, all the troupe nodded.
The list of participants is, Nanto and his wife Yanti, two children of Nanto who are seven years old a woman and ten years a man, respectively, the remaining nephews included Ardin and his thirteen-year-old sister.
They started the journey at ten o'clock in the morning, because the registration post was open at nine in the morning, after re-packaging, explaining standard mountaineering rules such as not to litter, bring back your trash, bring back your trash, they should not talk and defecate, after that they pray led by Nanto as the oldest and finance the climb this mountain.
Already done with all the preparations, then they began to rise, marching in parallel, counting the numbers from number one to twenty-one and walking around enjoying the mountains.
“Om, we both recover one, is it okay om?” ask the nephew in front of her.
“Loh why?”
“Say if odd can not go up this mountain.” The niece said quietly in a whisper.
“Mitos that, do not believe, all depends on the intention, we will want to enjoy nature, creation of God, so jaudah, come with good intentions, that's enough.”
“Iya Om.
“Makanya, do not talk carelessly and always in line yes.” Nanto reminded his nephew.
“Iya Om.” Answer the nephew.
They continued walking, it did not feel like two hours, they arrived at post one, did not continue the journey, they chose to eat snacks first and rest.
“Din, ask the others, how are they, tired? If anyone starts not strong, we slowly walk, To, you also help Ardin yes, check everyone.” Nanto had two nephews he trusted enough.
Anto and Ardin asked one-on-one to their brothers.
“Om, safe, all say seneng, have not felt tired.”
“Wah great yes you guys, want to continue the road now?” Nanto asked everyone and they compactly answered willingly.
Parallel lines were made again, still Anto as Leader and Nanto as a sweaper, towards post two, everyone looked very happy because it was still twelve noon, they were just snacking, they were just snacking, enough to give you energy to continue the journey.
The plan in post three they will just eat, it takes two hours to reach post three, approximately not much different from post two.
It turned out that they were until after three hours of walking, everyone looked hungry, no wonder, it was three in the afternoon, had not had lunch, they finally agreed to roll out mats and build flysheets first, he said, not a tent, because they will put up a tent in the post right before the peak.
Five women prepared food, including his wife Yanti Nanto. They cook boiled and fried noodles, which is easy and quick.
“Why Aunt?” a niece named Hana asks Yanti, as Yanti looks confused.
“This, the cooker does not want to flame, all is really, strange, but this stove has never been this way.
“Try here Hana try.” Hana then tried to turn on the portable mini gas stove that was brought.
“This can Aunty, it was less entered like a gas bottle.”
“Oh yes, thanks Hana.” Yanti immediately cooked for everyone, assisted by her five nieces who each also brought the same mini gas stove, so the cooking could be more sparse, too,
After the food is finished, they eat, rest for a while, and then continue the journey.
“Here the feeling is not cold huh Om? How come my noodles feel so cold fast huh?” a nephew complained.
“The name is also mountain, it is natural that cold mah.”
“Not that, To. This is why my noodles feel so cold, even though he was still hot.”
“Yaudah, don't think about it, naturally it's mah, in the open gini.” Anto tried to calm down, even though he felt that the fried noodles did not cool quickly, he said, but he tried to brush aside the absurd so that everyone could calm down and still want to continue the journey up to this peak.
The journey is continued, the track towards the post four is more steep, the slope reaches about fifty to sixty degrees, not to have to climb but still ride carefully because the road after the rain slippery, if one falls, if one falls, the person below will be affected by falling because of the body of the person who fell from above it.
“Still strong?” Nanto asked screaming.
“Still Om.” Everyone answered.
“Counting!” Anto ordered a count after they had arrived at a flatter spot and walked slowly again.
“One.” Anto started the count.
“Two.”
“Three.”
“Four.”
“Five.”
“Six.”
“Seven.”
“Eight.”
“Nine.”
“Ten.”
“Sebelas.”
They kept counting until they finally arrived at Nanto's ranks.
“Twenty .. two.” Nanto screaming.
All of a sudden it stopped, because the count was more, it should be twenty-one, but Nanto was not wrong because indeed the nephew in front of him he shouted twenty-one, he went on counting.
He and the niece in front of him looked at each other, they knew, something was wrong.
“Relange yes, Om?” Anto asked while shouting.
“Neither! Continue walking, count it later.” Nanto chose to count later, he started to get a bit creepy, because the count is more, how can it be? Though they have counted more than five times during the journey and are always complete, no less and more than twenty-one people.
To get to post four they need to walk for approximately three to four hours, because of the steep journey, the estimated time they arrive is right when the magrib at post four, because the approximate time, the plan is they will wake up camp, pray magrib and rest sleep, then tomorrow morning at three or four in the morning, they will peak or mountain children like to say summit to chase the sunrise.
They kept walking, all silent, no joking laughter like in the previous streets, perhaps from tiredness and also fear, timely travel, he said, at six o'clock they arrived at post four.
All agreed to pray magrib first, just woke up the tent, in total there are five tents, the tent of the Nanto family one large, one large, then the tent of the niece of one filled with four people and the rest three tents for the men, one tent filled with four people.
After the tent was built, the cooking was done as well, so the women were cooking so that after finishing installing the tent everyone could eat.
They held a fairly large tarpaulin in the middle, because they put the tent in a circular way, for their entourage, because in this post four there is not a single tent that other people, even though it feels lonely, have, but those twenty-one people were enough to make the post four become crowded.
Eat it, time to rest, the clock is nine o'clock at night, some people start sleeping in the tent, some people are still sitting on the tarp in the middle of the tent.
They are cool talking and enjoying hot coffee, at night, post four feels beautiful, the scenery and mountain air really feels delicious.
“Om, just now can count even that?” a nephew asked, Nanto and the five others who were still gathered talking.
“Well, most people who do not focus can say wrong, how much, so more. Udah do not think too much yes, we are important good intentions, to enjoy nature and God's creation, so everything will lancer and fine”
“Iya Om, hopefully we can peak tomorrow and see the sunrise yes.”
“Iya, you if you are tired, just sleep gih.”
“Iya Om.”
Not felt the time showed at eleven o'clock at night, from the direction of the ride saw some young men about to go down, Nanto walked up to them with Anto.
“Mas stop by here, rest first.” Nanto offered them a break.
“Iya thanks Mas, but we go down, chase time.” Reject the man.
“Yakin Mas, already malem loh, same headlamp stock safe?” Nanto is a very good person and always wants to help people.
“Aman Mas, thank you, how many people went up? Much?” the young man looked towards the back of Nanto, there were still some youths who were seen chatting, all looking fine.
“Twenty-one people, we are family, again want to ride with.”
“Wah very cool, what time is the summit tomorrow?”
“Summit three hours or four hours Mas.”
“Oh so, yasudah, be careful yes, thank you, I go down first.” Then some of the young men left, continuing on their way down.
“Ndon't want to stop by them first Om?” ask one of his nephews.
“Ngak want, want to go straight down he said, they seem to have gone up often, so dare to go down tonight like this.”
“Yes anyway, yaudah I slept first yes Om.” Then everyone finally decided to take a break.
At exactly two in the morning they woke up, cleaned up some luggage to peak, the tent was still left alone, so once they finished the summit could rest here and cook food.
Nanto thought there would be his nephew who did not go up, but it turned out that everyone was happy and wanted to come, the tent was not there to guard.
“Om, tent no one guard how is this?”
“Stranquil, will not cross kok.” Later said as he prepared to put all the needs into his smaller backpack.
“Yakin, Om?”
“Yakin kok, it's been quiet aja.”
Nanto told everyone to line up as before as they climbed, when it was tidy, he asked everyone to start counting.
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three.”
His nephew arrived in front of Nanto.
“Twenty sat .. one.” The nephew looked at Nanto while frightened.
Nanto smiled and did not continue counting.
“Udah complete, Anto start your way yes!” Nanto shouted, he did not want to continue the count because he did not want to make everyone become frightened and run down the top.
The time shows at half-four in the morning, only one more hour they will arrive, it takes about two to one and a half hours to ride depending on the speed of the road, the terrain is still the same slope of the road makes them difficult to ride.
At about half-hour five in the morning, they reached the top, everyone laughing happily as they managed to ascend, after which they prayed dawn together.
Then after enjoying the sunrise, while drinking coffee, they did bring a hot-resistant drinking bottle, deliberately making coffee to drink together at the top.
The time shows at half-six, already one hour they are at the top.
“Om really good at the top of gini, the air, the scenery.” Said one of his nephews.
“You want to have a home here?” Nanto asked his nephew.
“You anyway, but hard dong, if you want to go anywhere.”
“Ya it is not, later it will not be difficult.” Nanto smiled strangely at his nephew.

Author's Note :
This part makes me quite lancer typing, but there is a strange incident, honestly if making a story on the mountain I was a bit afraid, because I believe, the mountain is beautiful and also kampong ‘they’, because I believe, so it cannot be arbitrary to mention the name of the mountain, because I am afraid, afraid that later it will be wrongly reprimanded directly by the owner of the place.
Last night, while typing, my laptop battery was safe, everything was fine, but suddenly my laptop died while writing their parts count and count more.
After that my laptop does not want to turn on until morning, so this part update is late, it should be last night, but because my laptop does not want to turn on, how to upload it, was upset, but I know, but I know, it must be for my own good, so I can't continue typing until it's done and uploaded.
Not bad creeps because the laptop suddenly dies so, there is no sign of the battery running out, when in the chargerpun, the battery indicator is not red, meaning the battery is not abis, but the laptop does not want to be switched on at all, dead completely, even though the power light is on, but the screen is blank.
He wants to think this is due to device errors, but it is too precise to die in that section and do not want to turn on again.
What if you read this part? No goosebumps? Tell me yes, just a few times you have a creepy mountain riding experience as well.
Oh yeah, don't forget our vote yes, love bucket gift is also ok.
Thank Thank You.
