The Loss of Last Love
Best Time
This past week was the best time for Romy and Novi to prepare to climb Mount Merbabu, one of the highest mountains in Central Java, Indonesia.
The break bell at school rang. Romy still seems busy with her schoolwork. Suddenly from the outside came the voice of the girl he knew, Novi.
“Romy here!” Call Novi from outside the classroom.
Romy who was recording the task also rushed to Novi.
“Why Nov?” Romy replied to Novi.
“This I've recorded what equipment should be brought later, then we will pass the path to the top, so do we go next week?” Novi.
“So dong! But this is me again doing schoolwork first yes briefly.” Rommy to Novi. However, Romy always remembered the advice of both parents that learning is still number 1.
“I've contacted my friend there, his name is Mas Anto, it happens that he also wants to peak next week. We're with him!” Take Novi to Rommy.
“Bby, set aja Nov!” Romy.
“Oke if we have finished our discussion again yes!” Take Novi to Romy.
“Sip!” romy replied as he returned to class and continued to do his job.
After doing schoolwork. Romy and Novi began discussing again about their plans to climb Mount Merbabu. First of all, they discuss the exact date and time to leave. They consider the weather and density of climbers on Mount Merbabu to choose the right time.
“So we leave next week date 10 huh?” Ask Novi to Romy.
“Iya right!” Romy answered briefly.
Then, they talked about what preparations were needed to climb the mountain. They talked about supplies, warm clothes, medicine, and food. They also discussed safety and security during the trip, and created an emergency list containing important contact numbers in case of an unwanted incident.
“Kalo tent and others how is Nov?” Ask Romy.
“Quiet, all from Anto mas so we bring our own equipment aja Rom.” Novi to Romy.
“Oh Okay.” Answer Romy.
In addition, Romy and Novi also discussed the climbing routes they would take, and made detailed itineraries. They take into account the difficulty level of the route, the condition of the path, and the time it takes to reach the peak.
“We will use which path Nov?”Romy asked a little curiously.
Novi Reply, “I think we use the Suwanting Line how? The path is quite challenging anyway.” The Suwanting hiking trail is located in Magelang Regency, Central Java. This route has a fairly challenging route and takes about 8-9 hours to reach the top.
We will take the bus to Magelang in the morning. Mas Anto will pick us up at the terminal. How?” Ask Novi back to Romy.
“Okay, I'll come Nov. Because this is also the first time I went up the mountain.” Obviously Romy while confirming Novi's speech.
Lastly, they talk about their responsibility to the environment. They realized the importance of maintaining cleanliness and preservation of nature during the climb, and planned to bring plastic bags to pick up trash during the trip.
“Romy, are you ready?” Nova said excitedly.
“Siap Nov, This is my dream!!” romy to Novi.
“OK, go home to school I wait for you in the compek park huh! we sport every day.” Novi obviously to his best friend.
“OK ready!” Romy answered with a very happy face.
Romy and Novi planned a very mature climb to Mount Merbabu.
After school, they try to stay active and healthy by exercising every day. Starting this afternoon they ran and exercised lightly in the park near their home. They want to strengthen their muscles and increase their stamina in order to overcome the challenges that will be faced when climbing Mount Merbabu.
"Anyway We should be really ready to climb Mount Merbabu Nov!" romy said to Novi. "We must practice and prepare ourselves as best we can for our journey to be safe and successful!" Romy's dream to climb the mountain is not kidding.
Novi. "I agree, Romy. We must do our best to prepare! Now we start warming up the muscles first huh!” Novi. He's really very experienced, he taught Romy some light exercise. Romy was also very enthusiastic to follow the direction of Novi.
Romy and Novi know that climbing to Mount Merbabu is not an easy journey. They prepare for physical conditions by exercising regularly these days, such as jogging, and cycling. They also eat healthy and nutritious foods, as well as avoid unhealthy or heavy foods.
After the sport, Romy returned home and he secretly began to prepare whatever equipment he would bring. Romy ensured that he would bring complete and adequate climbing equipment. The equipment they carry include jackets, hiking pants, hiking boots, warm clothes, hats, gloves, sunglasses, backpacks, etc, and the flashlight except the tent because it has been provided by Mas Anto Novi's friend there.
“What's up, kiddo?” Suddenly the mother went into Romy's room.
“Oh my mother was surprised, why not knock on the door first?” Romy asked worriedly about being caught by her mother.
“After being called from earlier is not nyahut?” exclaim the mother.
“Where do you want to go nak?” Asked the mother very curious because she saw ROmy was taking care of his clothes.
“Eh not really bu, Romy Just finish the stuff that has been a long time.” Romy replied with a little awkwardness.
“Already, eat son. You haven't eaten up the sport, have you?” Ask the mother.
“Iya bu, Romy shower duu bu out it down ya.” Romy.
“Don't be long, son, we'll eat together, soon father comes home from office.” Said the mother.
“Iya ma'am, it's soon I'm done.” Answer Romy.
His mother smiled and closed the door to Romy's room. Actually, her mother began to suspect seeing Romy packing her things. Her mother wondered in her heart where she was going. But he just kept the question in his heart.
Romy packed his things back. He also prepared enough food and water for their climbing trip. It carries easily digestible and nutritious snacks such as bread, fruits, nuts, and chocolate. They also carry enough water and carry equipment to purify the water if needed.
With careful and careful preparation, Romy and Novi are confident that they are ready to climb to Mount Merbabu safely and smoothly. They hope to enjoy the beautiful scenery and complete their journey successfully
