Srinayu On the Hill of Randu
Chapter 25 | The Way of the Game

ALL have split towards each other. Menon and Nayu chose the west direction. Randu and Kori to the north. Rei and Zillian insisted on asking eastward, feeling themselves as easterners.

Nyu and Menon have no significant difficulties, not too far away they have found something that can be picked, even though only guava monkey fruit.

Rei and Zillian have not found anything, other than the series fruit, that is not of interest. If they want better, they have to walk a little further. Because actually in their direction there are many varieties of plants with fresh and unique fruits.

The fate of Randu and Kori is almost not much different from what Rei and Zillian experienced. Fruits are found, they consider not worth picking; pineapple, banana kepok, kelubi, and persimmon fruit. But at the time of finding pineapple fruit, there was a little difference of opinion.

"...We should have picked it up, "Kori disagrees with Randu's judgment. "Fresh fruit pineapple, how can you say this is just futility. Moreover, this pineapple fruit is different from what I often meet in the city there. The crown petals are more blooming and beautiful. The scales, from the outside, appear red pomegranate, not yellowish as in general. I'm sure it tastes better. This is a special pineapple. You've never felt it either, have you?"

Kori's explanation makes sense, but Randu has other considerations. "It's still noon, our journey is still quite far away. The weight of a pineapple of that size will slow down our steps, especially if you pick at least two."

"But you agree, this pineapple is indeed worth picking, if only our journey had only gotten here?" chase Kori.

Actually Randu hesitated, but he had to believe it. "It's true."

Not wanting to worry about pineapple any longer, then Randu immediately stepped foot while saying to please Kori, "On the way home later, I promise we pass this road again, I promise, and your proud pineapple fruit that we will definitely take home. You and I each. Two pieces."

things are now on Rei and Zillian's side. Victory almost certainly belongs to the two young people. Their long journey was not in vain. Inspired instinct is more lush scenery in the east, and marked by birds flying around while dancing, since then secretly turned out to be a mature calculation of a Rei. It is like a fruit garden ready for harvest. Starting from durian, rambutan jungle, mangosteen, duku, pluntan, fig, all presented complete, even mountain wine. Just choose as you like which fruit you want to pick. Without thinking much, Rei and Zillian immediately ran scattering.

"By the way.I still don't understand what Randu meant by... 'The opinion of most people is that what a good fruit means..." Rei. "The assessment standards are ambiguous..."

Zillian laughed before replying. "I did too, Rei actually... Yep... But stupid, what matters is that we play. Than saturated."

If this race is in order to fight for the champion to find the most beautiful flowers, no one can rival what the following two people found.

As soon as the sight of Nayu's eyes hit the colorful vibrant shades, the girl instantly fell silent in astonishment. "It's been a long time ooh..," he sighed softly. Menon glanced at him.

The main goal becomes forgotten for a while. Their hearts could not simply reject this beauty. Menon was unceasingly amazed, his head repeatedly seemed to shake.

"Did all this grow on its own...?" mennon really wanted to know.

"If you think this was my father, you're wrong. They are the natives of this forest. It may even occupy this forest first, compared to our family."

Menon nodded.

It is possible that this area is one of the most complete flower or ornamental plant ecosystems in the world, which is also a type of mountain rainforest ecosystem. Various types grow lively decorate the body of the hills, stretching up to a radius of hundreds of meters. Among them, there are various types of forest orchids, such as: ground orchids, Didymoplexis sp. and Malaxis sp., and epiphytic orchids (Eria sp). Spread to the south, little by little replaced by rows of Star Flowers (Rhizanthes zepelii). Towards the north, the scenery is immediately controlled by the Meranti colony (Shorea sp). Shifting westward—clad the presence of Bayu and Menon—to the southeast, can be found other flora: Ramin (Gonystylus bancanus), Babang (Shorea pachyphylla), Kebaca (Melanorrhea walicchii), Pockets Semar (Nephentes sp), Kebaca, even large ones such as the Carcass Flower (Amorphopalus sp) and the Giant Fatma Flower (Rafflesia tuan-mudae).

"The existence of these flowers..," said Menon still amazed, "It is like a paradise garden."

Nayu smiled slightly, but so looked extraordinarily sweet. Probably because it is surrounded by flowers. Or there is something that makes her proud until the aura of her beauty is open and free to glow. "From these few flowers is the origin of some of the fragrances attached to my body. We make our own perfume."

Menon watched Naju closely. Everything was. From top to toe. "Without the flower, you will still scatter fragrance. The most beautiful flower among the most beautiful."

Menon's praise made Bayu misbehaved. His eyes wandered to and fro looking for a way to divert the subject; stones, pebbles, colorful petals, beetles, and butterflies, none of them gave help. Nayu is getting wrong.

"Even you are more charming than this beautiful natural garden. Everything." Menon continued to attack Bayu with praise. "By your side, people will always feel warmth. You are like the sun to this wilderness.

"You are also the lungs of this wilderness... Without you, everything is just a dead thing."

Nayu bowed shyly. His body was suddenly helpless. Menon has cast spells of soul conquerors, making the heartbreak disappear.

Not to mention the loss of taste that made the blood of Nayu turbulent, without realizing it, from behind Menon had embraced his body. So tightly, as if releasing a deep longing, it spills all the contents of the heart through the heartbeats that are close together.

The gentle breath of Menon hit the earlobe of Naju, causing a forbidden desire that made him sting. His chest is up and down. Unconsciously his eyes slowly closed. His heart rate is getting irregular. Nayu is caught up in a great inner conflict. He could hardly stand it anymore, his head shaking slowly. Finally, he gently put away both arms of Menon who were encircling his body.

Before she changed her mind, Nayu deliberately took a few steps away. A look of disappointment on Menon's face. I didn't expect to be rejected like that.

While elsewhere, with nature facing him, Randu and Kori come into action.

"See that!" sergeant Randu is excited.

"Yes, I saw it," Kori replied. "Very refreshing green. Especially if it's a glass of juz."

That was what Randu meant; the pineapple was no match for, if it wanted to try harder, continued to venture in an unexpected direction. While looking at the fresh apples on the tree branch, Randu smiled proudly and nodded with satisfaction.

"The tree is very low. We don't have to climb, Randu." Easily Kori can reach and pluck it. "Ranum once," Kori said again after biting and chewing greedily. "That's sweet. Refreshed. Feels different... This is how fruit ripens on a tree. It's so different."

Sandu was tempted to take a taste. A single apple was taken.

"This is not too mature, but it feels almost perfect" said Randu gave an assessment.

Kori then noticed the apple in her grasp. "I think so. Look, there are still some other trees. Someone must have really cooked."

Kori ran small looking for fruit on another tree. Randu did not immediately follow, he recalled the decades-old acacia tree. Its height had reached tens of meters, and it was growing on the bottled plains. Makes it even bigger. But still, as high as the natural tower, observed from here, the top of the other half will be invisible. It was as if it was about to be drowned by the fierce waves of the wilderness.

Not to mention the completion of Kori's business with apples, he was now surprised by a peach tree, which was located not far from him. Precisely to the southeast west.

"Peach fruit?" kori Gumam. "I've been dreaming about it for a long time." Kori laughed at the tree. For a time, the apple was forgotten first. Peaches are not necessarily better than apples, but everyone has their own obsession.

ALMOST this type was missed. Fruit as large as the black part of the eye, dark red. Menon did not care about his whereabouts, if only Naju did not shout a little joy.

Menon momentarily searched for what Nayu meant. His mind hesitated a little, as his eyes looked at the small, blackish-red fruits. It is slightly larger than a series fruit, but smaller than a grape. Its skin surface is rough, and it has a crown at the base of its stalk. The seeds are many, small feels like sand pebbles and harder than the fruit series. Some people who have experienced tasting this fruit, do not swallow the seeds, supposedly for fear of constipation or appendicitis attacks. But this fruit can make people addicted, not only Serindit birds, finches, and a group of monkeys who crave it.

Nayu deftly picked a few more grains, then chewed them in a hurry.

When broken in a bite, the Keremunting fruit will emit a red search like blood. When exposed to clothes, this one stain is difficult to remove. And when it hits the lips, the lips will turn red.

Observing how Nayu enjoyed the fruit, made Menon so tempted, his throat moved up and down.

"Try to feel," suggested Nayu, understanding what Menon was thinking.

Menon placed the fruit slightly on the tip of his tongue, then bit it in half. Once he was sure it was harmless, he put it further into his mouth, and chewed it.

Right enough. It feels unique, a little rough, sandy, then slowly feels like rolling between the rough surface of the tongue.

One fruit.. two pieces.. three pieces.., Menon became addicted. It's like a hungry man. His mouth, as well as his chin, was wet with a red search. So did Nayu. The two of them were like a pair of blood-sucking creatures that were devouring their food. They looked at each other, smiled, laughed giggling, pointed at each other.

Inadvertently the fruit liquid splashed Menon's pointed nose. And Nayu, either consciously or unconsciously found herself trying to help clean it up. He rubbed Menon's nose several times.

Before Nayu had time to lower her hand, Menon had first caught the slim smooth white wrist. Like a venomous snake bite, Nyu's wrists suddenly numb, unable to move anymore. Because the circulatory system has also been contaminated, all over the body Nayu also became weak lunglai, making him resigned just like that when Menon's left hand embrace grabbed the nape of the neck, pulling it a few centimeters, he said, until their mouths meet.

RANDU and Kori are separated. Somehow the story can happen. Unconsciously, the two of them had lost track of each other.

Roughly to the north, although only through the gaps left between the leaves, the cloudiness above can still be seen quite clearly. The gray black cloud caused a feeling of anxiety within Randu. Feelings of anxiety that are almost the same as when parents know their children are playing in the wild, under the threat of blackish clouds that roll, and flashes of lightning accompanied by roaring sounds of mutual consent. The heart never calms down before it finds the baby, in good health, nothing less. "Wood..", he muttered restrained.

Instinct leads him to find his own way, to step up and keep going, no longer paying attention to Kori's existence. Eventually, fate took him somewhere.

Inadvertently Randu caught the sound of laughter. He sure is not hallucinating. Curious, he followed the origin of the voice. Step slowly with caution. It doesn't seem far away, it's just that the view is blocked by shrubs and trees.

The strange laughter sounded again. So spoiled and flirtatious. Then a smooth sigh that can make the fur of the sit goosebumps the body shudder. His little heart slowly felt a great uneasiness, as though it were being squeezed by a crud, thorny finger.

Randu looked at a tall tree with thick leaves. Then, climb.

From behind the leaves, on top of the tree, the light of Randu's eyes hit a scene. A painful show for him is underway; a pair of people who are burning with fire are vying to vent their forbidden desires. From this height everything can be seen very clearly, unmistakably; Nayu and Menon!!!

Pandu dead body and soul. The tongue froze, the body stiffened. Suddenly the world stopped turning.

I want it to feel like he ran away. Go all the way, disappear from the face of this earth, vent all the irritation by shouting loudly. Or, on the contrary, approach the couple. Catch them both wet and maybe teach them a little lesson. But what power, he even became powerless over himself. He also felt he had no right to do so.

"Rampoo! Landu...! Where are you...?!" Suddenly, someone heard his name from a distance. "Rampoo...!"

Kori's screams sounded closer and closer. It was a bit much can make self-conscious Randu back from the confines of darkness. At least give him a chance to calm down and control himself.

"Rampoo! Ziii...! Rei...!?" Kori's voice sounded again. Close, and getting closer.

Nayu took down her clothes that had rolled up piled on top of her chest. A pair of chewy white twin blobs are no longer visible as witnessed by Randu earlier. Similarly, the skirt that only legs back dangling down, covering the appearance of two beautiful limbs. Unlike the previous situation, now what appears is a graceful woman.

Before Kori finally arrived, Menon still took the time to kiss affectionately on Naju's forehead. On one side the world stopped spinning, on the other side the world spun so fast.

Kori does not find Randu, but finds Menon and Nyu. "Hi! What are you guys doing?" the question is not trying to cover up the curiosity.

"You alone, Kori?" nayu replied, "And, Randu...?"

"I was of course looking for fruits to win the competition. But now I'm looking for the boy. Where did he disappear to? We were accidentally separated..." Kori thought back to her question. "You guys...?"

Menon took the initiative to take over the answer, "Have you forgotten...? We are also one of the participants." Then Menon showed me something in his grasp. "We accidentally found this..."

"Fruit of Remunting," added Nayu.

Kori stuck out her head. "Hunting...?" The name sounds foreign to him. Menon only found out a moment ago from Nayu about the fruit in question.

"Yes.., re-mun-ting" Nayu repeated it again, this time deliberately spelling it slowly and clearly as possible. He also tried to move his lips to be read.

Kori shook her head. His lips slightly curved down. He still felt like he had never heard of such a fruit.

Nayu smiled lightly. "Had Kori not thought too much, your face was confused so. Poor your head is getting dizzy. You will also be familiar with this fruit. It feels pretty good."

"It looks like an interesting fruit," Kori convinced herself.

Menon turned towards Nayu. In return, a sweet curved smile on the red lips of natural pomegranate Nayu. While on the tree, in his safe hiding, Randu was still crowded with a thousand and one kinds of pain. Starting from the puncture of concrete nails, blunt needles, trident spears, wedge saws, incisions indelu, slash of fiery machete, coil of barbed wire, raining poison arrows, the sting of thousands of bees even millions, venomous snake bite, burned alive, castrated, raped. Complete, everything exists.

Soon it rained. So stiff. The wind was also blowing very hard, blowing away the leaves that had fallen on the ground and dropping the already fragile ones, which were still hanging on the trees.

"We'd better get home soon" Kori panicked. He is not used to dealing with such a situation. Darkness and the raging wilds.

Menon immediately pulled on Naju's arm, and invited him to run to leave the forest immediately. From behind Kori immediately followed.

Nayu still had time to think about her friends who were likely still in the middle of the forest. "What about the others!?" his tanyanya shouted, trying to defeat the enormity of the thunderbolt sound.

"They must be doing the same thing as us, seeking refuge. Everything will be fine, will not get lost, as long as our acacia tree remains standing!" menon answered also by shouting loudly, trying to calm the restless heart of Naju.

While running Nayu looked back to look up to the height, looking for the tree in question. However, the roof of the leaves is still too shady to shade them, also full of branches and twigs that overlap each other. To him, it did not look like the tree at all.
