THE CLIMBER
GONDO LAKE ARUM #2

AT 00:00 WNT.

Arya was awake there was a hand gently swaying her body that made her wake up. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at who had awakened him.

"Nandhita, what's up..?" arya asked in shock.

"Yes brother Arya, we have to hurry to the house in the middle of the lake" said Nandhita.

"Alright let's go there." said Arya while waking Elya up.

Finally the three of them headed to the edge of the lake and prepared to swim to the house in the middle of the lake. But a miracle appeared suddenly there was a transparent bridge stretched right above the lake water.

"Let's follow me, brother..? nandhita said as she walked across the bridge.

Arya and Elya followed behind Nandhita as if they were walking on clear lake water, five minutes later they came to the front of the middle house of the lake. Nandhita removed her necklace with a key child as her pendant. He used the key to open the door.

CLICK KREEEKKKEEEEET

The door of the house opened, just as they imagined, a house that was completely inland, there was no electricity, even the furniture that was covered in the house was really old and looked very old.

"Nandhita how do you have the keys to this house..?" elya asked curiously, and at the same time from inside the house came out a grandfather dressed as a monk.

"Grandfather..?" nandhita said,

Hearing Nandhita calling someone Arya and Elya turned to see who was called Nandhita.

"Sir Isaac..?" they said in unison.

"Yes Nandhita, Mr. Arya My Miss Elya is currently just a manifestation of myself, I can only last for an hour here" Isaac replied.

"Sir Monk what is this place and why can't my team make a path here..? it's been months of work." asked Arya.

"This is the Gondo Arum Valley, and the center of the valley is here Lake Gondo Arum, why can't your team make a path here..? because this place is sealed by this Cantile Tree, this white cantile or chrysalis tree protects this place. So no one can make a path in this valley, including me and Mr. Arthur. But I have this to make it easier for you to get in and out of the gondo arum valley. Take it." said Isaac, giving Arya a wooden box.

Arya received the box, the smell of sandalwood smelled into her nose.

"Open up..!!" isaac's orders when Arya was holding the wooden box.

Arya opened the box a kono compass with a golden cassing look classic yet beautiful.

"It's a THREE-DIMENSIONAL compass a compass that can be used in all dimensions of space and time whose needles only point in one direction you're going." Isaac.

"Yes I understand, so now what should we do..?" ask Arya back.

"All you need to do now is just head for the top of the snowpeak, and soak the two of you there and do a union like at the top of the gods, make Nandhita your main assistant, I have prepared him and have given him much knowledge that will be useful to you in the future" Isaac said.

"Well we will make Nandhita our main assistant, but jaeab is another question that holds up in my heart. What is the relationship of Monk with Nandhita..?" ask Elya curious.

"Nandhita is my granddaughter she was born a few hours after your birth and for you Nandhita it's time you devoted the knowledge I gave you" Isaac said, along with the fading and disappearing of her human form.

"Yes grandfather, Nandhita will do as you say" Nandhita said.

"So right as we thought, you must have a close relationship with the monk Isaac" said Elya.

Nandhita bowed to Arya and Elya.

"Hamba will devote himself to the Lord and Miss Nugraha, accept the salute of the servant" said Nandhita.

"Stand up and don't call us Master and Miss call us with Big Brother like before, our age is only different for a few hours. We are colleagues there are no superiors or subordinates" said Arya firmly while guiding Nandhita to her feet.

"I don't dare Sir, the Nugraha family has helped my family a lot. If only at that time Mr. Arthur did not extend his hand, it is certain that our family has been destroyed and there are no descendants of Isaac's grandfather left" said Nandhita.

"Just do as Arya asks or we won't accept you, in our lives." threatened Elya.

The spirit in the eyes of Nandhita surprised Arya and Elya, because these words cannot be said by people in modern times today. Nandhita looks more like a soldier ready to sacrifice himself for the master he protects. Like a soldier raised in ancient times. One thing he had in mind was to keep his master even he sangup to sacrifice himself.

"Na. so it would be better to hear and see it" said Arya.

"Let's go back to our tent, brother..? before anyone realizes that we're here" Nandhita said.

They realized that they were in the middle of the lake house, Arya and Elya looked at each other and nodded their heads.

"Ayooo." said Arya and Elya almost simultaneously.

"Let's..!!" nandhita said, then stepped out of the house followed by Arya and Elya.

After re-locking the door, they left the place over the transparent bridge they had passed before. And went straight into his tent to close his eyes.

Before the morning sun greeted the earth, Jack was already up and ready to cook so that later Arya and her team wake up breakfast is ready and they can leave faster. Jack came out of his tent and frowned towards the kitchen tent.

"Nandhin.. Why are you here..?" ask Jack arrogantly.

"Cooking..!!" Nandhita answered Jack's question nonchalantly.

"All right let me help," said Jack still flat.

"Ahh.. don't bother, I'm used to doing this anyway." reject Nandhita who is still in indifferent mode.

"Yes, I said be careful, usually in the middle of the forest hours like today many animals roam," said Jack scaring.

Nandhita becomes a little irritated at Jack, instead of helping him scare him off.

"How could he just mince words." Nandhita grumbled inwardly.

Jack walked away from Nandhita himself. But instead of heading for his tent, he stopped in front of the tent and sat down casually.

Angrily Nandhita walked over to where Jack was sitting.

"Get water..!! instead of just sitting back and watching people cook." tell Nandhita, her forehead wince at Jack's smile, the uncomfortable feeling of seeing Jack smile like that.

Jack re-installed his flat mode.

"You need my rock..?" ask Jack.

"Why don't you..!!" Nandhita is annoyed by Jack's behavior.

"Yes, I've got it here, said from earlier if you need help." Jack nonchalantly took the water container in Nandhita's hand.

"Jack you're starting to like me huh..?" mala concluded inwardly, a smile blossoming on her lips.

"Why smile..?" jack asked as he returned from the lake to fetch some water.

"Like me is why it's chatty" replied Nandhita ketus.

"Don't smile in front of me, now let's cook, hunt the sunrise." Jack confronts Nandhita, who falls in love with her.

Finally they cook using two portable stoves, and without much talk they cook quickly.
