The sun was shining that day. The slippery path exposed to rain last night has begun to dry in the sun. A group of young women seemed to climb steep climbs, some looked ordinary, some were breathing heavily.
"Yah suck you on, the climb time like this is boring. How about climbing the maha meru mountain. Could have fainted in the middle of the climb."
Yudistira Hadi Wijaya, the leader of the army mocked his friend. Not chiming. All laid themselves on the grass near the burly banyan tree. There are also injured limp relax at the roots that snaking. More enjoying the harmony of nature that welcomes the cheerful like saying "Welcome" than serving a sneer.
"Reran, yes, with the villagers here. Salutes. Every want to go to the city must go down the hill home must climb sharply. He said it was the nearest shortcut. If the only road we can pass by vehicle. That's a bad path. Your BMW can't be shown to tease girls here, Dis. The new fallout hunt is ten minutes away. The roads are more similar to shallow rivers that lack water. Really bad." Utari opened the conversation after all this silence.
"Well, time ?" Yudha stared in disbelief.
"Sunday night is not fun, there is no place for konkow. There are only trees in the lush forest. Most crickets and their countrymen play concerts." Panji spoke in a disappointed tone.
"Eh, you want to take a walk, what's the final assignment? Sometimes friends with nature. Don't tell me about it at the doang nightclub, Ji. Sometimes you hang out in a banyan tree like a gini. Don't mind favorite music concerts, occasionally try to hear the sound of concerts frogs and forest creatures." Sewot utari. Dad Panji's. Lose out with facilities.
"Yes, big lady." The horse's purr.
"Udah, we continue to want this climb only half. Would you like to stay here tonight?" Judis mediates.
"Ogah gua mah, the Kunti will come here." Yudha ngibrit first.
The beautiful natural scenery wowed their eyes. A wide expanse of pesawahan and winding paths are plastered below. To the left right looked a neatly lined pine forest. As if to guard that road. The ravine sometimes made them shudder in horror.
If looking straight ahead looks magnificent towering mountain beautiful. Blueness. The slopes are filled by the palawija crop fields of local residents. Like a magnificent natural painting the creator's painting. Arakan clouds that shade like a thin silk sweetening. It pampered the sense of sight.
The sound of hawks in the sky searching for prey makes them comfortable. Simpony of nature from the friction of bamboo trees in the wind makes the soul peaceful. Slowly the tired and tired soul of the noise of the city was treated. Although tired they fell in love with this place at first sight.
\*\*\*\*\*
"God willing, the doctor has come" said the RW chairman.
A smile greeted those who were panting. Not to mention regular breathing, the Father has welcomed with great respect.
"Not yet a doctor, sir, still a candidate." replied Judis. Meshemes.
"Will be a doctor. Oh yeah, you guys so come start KKN next week?"
"It's God, sir. We want to survey where to stay. So we can know what equipment we have to bring," replied Utari.
"Yes, please rest. I'd like to contact the person who's willing to accommodate you all while here." Mr. RW is gone.
Yudistira Hadi Wijaya was stunned, shocked by the facilities provided to them. A stilt house is made of bamboo and wood. Only two rooms. The rest is a large open space. Separate kitchen and no kerosene stove let alone gas or electric stove.
****** available next to home. Above a fish pond. If you want to shower the place is separate from the pup place. Shocked, if in his house all live pengket. Just call Mak Inah to meet personal needs. Everything is natural here and without anyone's help.
Back to nature's. Back to nature. Fortunately the adventurous spirit of the climber is used to living in the jungle. Yudistira ventured to climb the famous mountain throughout the Nusantara region.
The banner looks confused. The man with glasses was confused if he had to be far from the pusam wah and luxury. Understand he's the golden boy mama and papa.
"Ji, you don't cry at night. Entar cave ogah nganterin lu who whined to ask to go home," seduced Yudha.
"What the hell, you think, what a little cave boy. The cave is already bangkotan. The cave won't cry for home." The flag that shouts his guts.
Utari and Husna are just messes. The banner is always the months. Mama's son anyway. A spoiled child who always relies on parents.
"Eh, guys, here !!!" pekik Yudhishthira.
All close to docked. Judis pointed to a white girl of ash passing by in front of the house that would be their lodging while in the village.
"You see, no other schoolgirl has crossed in front of the house since?"
"Honestly, don't look at a piece. Just, look at the red white uniform from earlier. White ash or blue white none of which passed. Huh !!! Means only that girl goes to school from this village." - Husna.
"Maa is Allah. A brave woman. Panji was almost crying looking at the climbs and ravines. This girl even herself climbs every day. Not afraid of Kuntilanak banyan tree dwellers." Yudha.
"It's normal ah, for him, what's special." Bagas was indifferent to the admiration of his comrades.
"That amazes you is just a hot chick, Gas. Substantial. The other one's making you a big zero." Utari's upset. People never have empathy.
Yudistira stared at the girl who had just passed by. Never imagined alone to go home and go through the forest looking for knowledge. There was a strange shiver seeing his figure. Although, not looking at what it looks like. I think he's someone he's known for a long time.
Night replaced day. Taking students from the city to sleep in a deserted village. Too late in the afternoon they came. I had to stay in this natural village.
The typical beast of the night accompanies through the silent night. Make them sleep in the melody of the night beast. Reconcile the soul until it is serene.
Yudistira Hadi Wijaya and his friend. Had to pass forty nights in that place. They are students of a leading college from the city of Bandung. Medical schools are their schools.
\*\*\*\*\*
Ayu restlessly woke up from her sleep. The shadow of the incident this afternoon continued to disturb him. Hadi was deliberately waiting under the banyan tree.
"You came, Yu, why did you reject our family proposal? Less what are we? All the girls dream of being my fiancee. They want to be the daughter-in-law of the Herman family. Stupid you refused a tempting offer." said Hadi riled.
Hadi is seen in the village. Family success as a nomad in the city. The parasites are also good. So with a jumawa Hadi sneered Ayu's decision to reject him.
"I want to go to school, not get married. School is more important to me than thinking about a soul mate in the future. However, if God wills then it is not impossible that we can get married in the future. Not a relationship from now on. I want to study without burden. I really thank you for your family's attention." Ayu replied calmly.
"You're arrogant people don't have it but pretentious. Any high school just takes care of the family."
"Thank you, yes you are right nature and the throne of women is family. I want to learn a lot of it all in school. Please find another girl who is ready to preach and get married. I'm learning to be a woman who can take care of the family."
"Your mouth is good, your heart is rotten. Damn you, Ayu."
Hadi passed with mounting anger. How great his love, dear Ayu refused on the grounds of school. Actually, Hadi also knew that Ayu did not harbor feelings for him. It ignited his emotions.
O Allah, forgive if this decision feels like an insult to others. I was determined to go to school as I could. Maybe the harsh words of the villagers will also sneer at the family. Mr. .. I hope you are strong to hear everything. Thank you for accepting and supporting Ayu's decision.
Ayu awake. His chest tightened the dream that had come as if real immediately took water ablution perform the night prayer. Invite the power to strengthen oneself from all the trials that are facing. Then sleepiness stops. Dipped in a blanket on the body.
\*\*\*\*\*
The sun began to shine in the east. Beautiful tinsel coloring the clear sky. Yudistira stretched his muscles. Just jogging after dawn prayer. His other friend was still at home with a blanket on his body. The typical cold mountain pierced the body. They do not open their eyes.
From far away Judis saw a white girl in ashes walking in haste, half running. Long skirt in the window so it shows the length of training. Looks panicked. Honey, Judis can't see his face. Their distance is too far. Just a speck of admiration slipped in the soul. That girl is so brave the journey to the city is not easy. He's just alone.
Ayu ran small. Today I woke up late because I slept late. Punishment awaits at school. Rewards for the delay.
Luckily the sharp derivative will not make him fall. Last night the rain did not fall on the village.
Lord, help me to give you peace. So strong to accept the scorn and gossip of people around. I don't know why it's always a disgrace to reject the proposal of a respected person. Life is a choice. To displease someone for one reason is not a sin. I don't know why people's thinking is always different. May you, Father also accept.
