The Season of Love
Love Span

"Kok coming home, Nin? He said he wanted to try to meet a wedding organizer who handles Sela's wedding!" Nindya's mother who was sitting on the terrace was a little surprised by the arrival of her daughter and also the Eagle.

"No, I'll call her WO! I was like a cop in disguise over there, watching and watching everything I did with the Eagle. Until eating already has no pleasure," replied Nindya grumbling annoyed.

"But not getting close? You didn't fuck your dad?" ask Nindya's mother further.

Nindya just put her shoulders together, "Nindya change clothes first, Mom!"

"Sorry, Nindya is so when it comes to her father, their relationship is not good!" Nindya's mother gave a little explanation to the Eagle who must have heard their chatter. "Especially his father began to interfere with Nindya's personal affairs."

The eagle nodded without any intention of interfering. Even if Nindya's father has some business with her that is related to Nindya, the Eagle is ready. He simply contacted his papa as the main support to talk to Nindya's father.

After all, all the things that many parents expect from their daughter's partner, the Eagle has. He is well-off, he also has a home in his own name. Although still young, Eagle sure can guarantee the life of Nindya from what she has now.

His activities as a wall climbing athlete of the organization are clearly not counted given his income is unstable. Eagles are not fixed-paying national athletes. Eagle is just a hobby that is quite profitable as a campus mapala. His term prized.

Before long, the Eagle and Nindya had already packed up and were ready to leave. Nindya kissed her mother's cheek, explaining at a glance the tourist attractions to be visited with the Eagle.

After getting permission from Nindya's mother, the Eagle pampits and promises to take care of Nindya during the climb.

Eagle driving to the rental of adventure tools. They will depart directly from Semarang, Eagle will not have time to return to Yogya to take all his needs for the mountain because it is hunted for time.

They also stopped by the minimarket to buy food and drink needs. Some snacks include sweets Nindya bought to accompany their camping event on the mountain.

The eagle is crazy enough to choose the Ngagrong path as the first climb for Nindya. Besides being more extreme, the rat track is considered not the official route recommended to climb Mount Merbabu.

There are no monitoring posts to keep an eye on climbers from unofficial trails, they usually only use residents' homes or RT as the first basecamp to report data and activity plans while on the mountain.

Beginner climbers of Mount Merbabu mostly prefer the Selo path that has a medium difficulty level. Private eagles do not like the path because it is too crowded. He likes to be quiet when in the open, so that the sound of the universe around him is heard clearly. Sepi also makes the Eagle more free to enjoy the whole trip.

"Any walk?" ask the serious eagle.

"It must be ready, the time has not come!"

The eagle touched Nindya's cheek, "It will be a little tiring, if you are not in top shape it can be dangerous!"

Nindya grimaced, "I'm healthy, El! I've also brought personal medicine."

"Okay, sip it!" Eagles leave vehicles at the homes of residents on the way to the basecamp commonly used by climbers. Not too far away, but the road was indeed not as smooth as Vivian's thigh. Full of sharp rocks because it is still a macadam road.

They walked leisurely enjoying the breeze of the mountain, still late afternoon. The sun is golden, ready to deliver a beautiful twilight on a farm planted with vegetables.

Yei ... Nindya cheered inwardly, her eyes spoiled by the natural beauty of the countryside, her nose absorbed the clean air and her ears caught the wind and the chirping of birds that occasionally mocked her cheerfully.

He walked behind the Eagle, sometimes side by side, occasionally in front of the young man who became an impromptu pelvis for him.

How not? Nindya only carried a small bag containing personal needs and 600ml of mineral water, while Elang carried a mountain bag (carrier) with a capacity of 120 liters.

"Want to rest? After this the road will rise sharply!"

Nindya stopped right by the roadside, observing the tree with very few leaves but studded with beautiful colors, between black twigs, and golden green. "El .. check this out!"

The eagle approached and smirked sweetly, "Fear?"

"I think this was even a flower, from afar it looks very beautiful like a tree in autumn, various colors, it turns out .. caterpillars are very much," said Nindya shudder. His hand immediately held the Eagle's arm, not out of fear but like there was a sense of disgust and amusement that came suddenly.

"But you said we didn't get to the top!"

"Yes, we'll only get under the savannah if you're strong. If not yes ... You decide we will open a tent where!"

A tent? Nindya's stomach was instantly wrapped around. Sleeping together with the Eagle in the tent tonight would definitely be very extraordinary, beyond the story of the past when both of them mistakenly recognize a partner.

Nindya's memories returned to the riverbank, as she slapped the Eagle several times to vent her anger, as she decided for them to become strangers.

However, all of that turned out to be only the beginning of a relationship that is increasingly sweet. "I'll stop when I'm tired, and that's where we'll be camping, do you agree?"

The eagle nodded, "I'll find the best place for us to spend the night."

"Are you not too lonely on the mountain? We're just the two of us? Are there no other climbers? I don't see anybody riding in your backpack like you."

"This path is indeed quiet, there may be some climbers later that we meet at basecamp .. but when above, they must open a tent near the savanna in order to enjoy the sunrise at the summit."

"Means where we camp is not with them? Really quiet dong!" asked Nindya with a slightly scared expression. He had never climbed before.

"You can sigh if you want a sound in the tent. I tell you something, the only noise I like is your voice when you say my name" said the Eagle full of ignorance. His eyes darkly looked at Nindya who was directly glaring at him.

"But you, El!" decak Nindya. "But I want to see the sun rise at the top!"

"I'll take you, but not now. Consider it the first climb for practice, trekking is quite heavy this path."

The eagle held Nindya's hand, leaving behind a bunch of caterpillars that formed golden flowers from a distance. Tracing the road makadam to find a slightly smooth asphalt road.

"Crazy ... This climbs what climbs? Is it dangerous for vehicles? So horrified!"

"A lot of migrants who fall here, except local residents who have experience. Their motorbike is also not the one commonly used in the city" Elang explained.

The road Nindya saw may have a slope of more than 45⁰, looks slippery and creepy. Walking is clearly safer because it can pass the edge, but if driving is certain Nindya will not dare.

"Is this why you didn't bring our vehicle up?" ask Nindya.

"Yes, I'd rather ride a local ojek if lazy road. The risk of an accident is very high in this place, I do not want to harm you, yes if I can bring the car safely to the top, if it fails? No! That's not an option."

"Stop a minute, El! I want to breathe first" pinta Nindya meant it.

"This is called love's incline." The eagle observed Nindya's sweaty face before rubbing it with a slayer of cloth used to tie her head. "You'll fall in love with me after you've passed the ramp, this is also why I'm taking you on foot!"

Nindya was stunned to hear the silly name pinned on the steep road, "That's right!"

"I'm serious, in many climbing girls always need help when completing this climb. His helper always gets special attention afterwards. Many decided to date after joining hands through this steep road, even though they were not familiar at first."

Nindya saw the skeptical Eagle. "Where is there such a dramatic love story?"

"You must take part in the mass climb held by mapala first to be able to make a judgment!"

"Hm …!" Nindya raised her eyebrows, then confidently reached out for the Eagle to pull her up on the love poured down the steep road to the main basecamp.

The eagle grabbed Nindya's hand and started walking up, "I love you, Lecturer Ma'am! Answer me above later!"
