The Fortitude of a Mother
Search two

The morning in the village of curug taneuh money is usually calm and peaceful, now it has been turned into a bustle by the bustle of residents who are crowded looking for a forest minister who disappeared since yesterday,pak lurah arranged for the citizens to split up and divided into several groups, they will surround the teak forest on the vast sangkur mountain.

Likewise moses today he will not work as usual.He and his disah brother named darsim will participate in the search for the loss of this forestry minister.

Musa's group had five men with their own moses, and he was leading the search in his group, starting from the eastern part of the forest he was following his they shouted calling the name of Pak kardan.

They visited every shrub that passed, or examined the large rock that also had a large gap.In the mountain of sangkur it was indeed many rocks whose size could be said to be giant.

"Kang darsim's! look over there!" point Moses towards the big tree.

"Why mus? what are you looking at?"

"Therein is a very large tree.Try in check, maybe there is a hole in the tree, we should not miss the slightest possibility," he said

"You're right 'mus, many possibilities can happen, pak kardan was lost when down the edge of this teak forest.Hopefully he can still be saved," mang karja chimed in, he said,

"Then let's check the big tree" darsim stepped on his foot.

Large trees with many creeping roots add a mystical impression on the tree.Slowly they approached not forgetting they prayed for protection to the almighty.

Now that they were in the shade of the tree, every part of the tree they examined it without delay, Moses had a strong guess, he said,if in fact pak kardan is hidden by an invisible creature that resides in the mountains of the trumpet.

But their search on the tree was nil, there was a big gap there but the group of moses found no sign of pak kardan.

"The tree hole is indeed large, but nothing is found there.But strangely I feel a bit strange when it is near the tree, let alone fit into the gap." darsim felt very creepy if he remembered himself entering the hole of the big tree.

"Well, we don't see what.Will but, we live in this world not alone, right? moses said.

"Hem, right," said mang karja short.

They continued their journey and continued to enter into the depths of the sangkur mountain.

Not felt the day was already noon, they went through the forest for half a day, but had not found a bright spot.Their stomach was already felt very rumbling.

"Let's take a break for a while, just to fill the energy," Invite Moses

Moses and his group stopped to eat the food they brought, but it only turned out that only Moses himself brought food supplies, others only brought drinking water.

Disah provides musa many foods, there is corn rice and pickled cucumber there is fried tilapia, and also sweet boiled sweet potatoes and fried cassava.

"You don't eat? ask moses.

"We only brought mus water," mang juned showed him the bottle of drinking water he was carrying.

"Then eat what is.Take what I bring is enough for all of us to enjoy," Moses allowed all to enjoy the provisions he brought.That's how moses, he said,he was and known to the citizens was a very generous person, his wife's husband often shared their abundant agricultural products to his neighbors.

After the stomach is full, finally they continue their journey, but the journey stopped instantly.When mang jumad and darsim saw there was a cave but the mouth of the cave was covered with lush thickets.So if not noticed the cave would be missed.

"We stopped for a while" said Darsim

"What's the kang? ask moses

"We check the cave, "show the darsim

They all stopped and entered the cave one by one.

"We need illumination, when we go in, it will be very dark." Darsim told me.

"Wait a minute, I'll find something to use as a torch." The mummy soon passed to look for torch material.

Before long the old mange returned with a pile of dry twigs put together, at the end of the twig there were still dried leaf leaves attached.

And sure enough, as it went deeper into the cave it grew darker, they also lit the torch he carried.

"Why else mus?

"Shutt, look over there," moses pointed to the right side of the cave which looked dead.

"We're walking slowly, let's see what's in there,"

The five of them walked slowly and settled their mouths gaping wide when they saw what was in that place.

a shabby mat called, as well as a place of frankincense.There are also sprinkles of flowers and a complete offerings.

"Is it a place of meditation, or worship? said mang jumad curious.

"Okay, I do not understand.With human beings like that, why do they meditate and give offerings, for whom? astagfirullah," moses shook his head.

"Have let it be, not our business.We better get back out, this cave is deadlocked." invite darsim.

They finally walked back out.

***

It did not feel like the day was getting more and more afternoon, the group of moses became the last to return to their starting point of gathering.There were already other groups and pak lurah waiting for the results of the search for the group of moses.

"How was the search?" ask mr. lurah

"Nil" answered moses.

"Yes already, because it's late in the afternoon, let's continue the search tomorrow," Pak Lurah ended the search event kardan today.

All the residents disperse and return to their homes.
