It…!!!
The sound of alarm surprised me who was in a dream crib. Slow and lazy, I got out of bed to the bathroom. At 06:30 I was tidy and ready to go to school not far from home, only about 500 meters. So I went to school on foot. Arriving at school, my school, Harapan High School, was crowded as usual. What was unusual was that they swarmed the notice board in front of the Headmaster's office.I was curious that I even stepped into the notice board. It turns out there will be Camping activities intended for students of class XII, namely us.
“Wah, definitely serum”, my inner.
I really like camping, because it has to do with nature. From childhood I most like the name of nature cruising, or the like. This opportunity cannot be missed. I haven't read all the announcements yet, Toni, my best friend, called out to me as she walked towards me with the paper in her hand.
“Wo! Bewo!”, call him.
I caughtup.
“ada what Ton?” manya curious.
Toni also explained what she meant by me. It turned out that he had received a form to participate in camping activities held in Mamongkara Village for 3 days. Don't forget Toni took the forms for me, Yuka and Oni. We have been friends since childhood and our house is close together. In the form it is equipped with a statement of parental consent that parents must sign as proof that the parents of students who want to join agree.
The next day when the return form has been filled out to the Camping organizing committee. The four of us got approval from our parents. At first my father did not agree because he had heard the mystical story of Mamongkara Village. There are many rumors about the village. But after I persuaded, Dad finally agreed.
Camping is only two days away, so from today must immediately pack-packing so that no equipment is not brought. With Mom's help, all my gear is ready.
The long-awaited day arrived. We left a bit kesorean because the bus we boarded the tires leaked so it must be patched first. It turned out that Mamongkara Village was very far away. Magrib, we haven't arrived yet. The driver said, 45 minutes to go. Suddenly the bus stopped suddenly and we were jolted in each seat and some even fell down.
“ada what sir?” ask mom vita
“anu bu, it it.. it's there is a grandmother who crossed the road carelessly”, replied the driver with a stutter.
When seen by Vita, there was no one on the road. All the astonishment there even started to pale his face from fear.
Our journey continues and about the grandmothers, I am still curious. I remembered Dad's words about the mystical story in this village. But yes, it might be a coincidence.
“no one sir. Maybe you saw wrong “,
“gak ma'am. I'm sure there was a grandmother who crossed the road “,
“but the proof is no one kok pak”,
“ya already ma'am, maybe I'm the wrong one to see. Maybe because I kecapan”,
At about seven in the evening, we arrived at Mamongkara Village, more precisely Mamongkara Forest. There were already waiting for some villagers. There's a Mr. Kades and some residents. They came to welcome our arrival while giving instructions not to damage the surrounding forest. However, there are restrictions that we find strange. We are forbidden to bring sharp weapons into the river and girls are forbidden to go to the river. All the confusion and astonishment, but as guests in this village we have to obey the rules in this village. When Mr. Kades was finished and went home, we disbanded and set up our tent each group with the help of a bus light. When we finished we took a break and sang around the campfire. Tired of singing we also enter each tent and sleep to gather energy because tomorrow there will be activities. I'm in a group with Tono. When he was about to sleep, Tono said the thing that made my eyes literate.
“ha! seriously Ton? You see that grandma?” ask me with a tone that I hold so as not to disturb people who have slept.
“iya Wo, seriously, I see. But I'm afraid to tell Vita ma'am or something. The grandmother glared at me, as if she didn't like us coming here Wo”,
“kalo it's true that grandma exists, why does she not like us coming here? we're just Camping. No intention of disturbing”,
We stayed silent for a long time and looked at each other. Ghost birds began to buzz and with a quick and simultaneous movement we pulled the blanket and slept.
I was amazed to see the figure before me. Wearing a knee-length white, paper-white face, her eyes were soft, her lips were white, and her hair was long and unkempt. He looked at me like he had something to say. I stayed away, but he followed me. I got away and he tried to call me.
“Wo... Bewo..”, call him in a very smooth voice.
I sped up my pace but the figure was always behind me.
“Wo! Bewoo!!”,
His voice was getting louder and I felt that the sound was getting closer and I even knew the sound for a long time, like a voice…
“Bewo!!! Wake up in the morning!” yelled Toni in my ear.
I nodded and immediately woke up. Toni in front of me was ready with her toilet.
“Wo, shower. The others are already on the river tu”,
I didn't say anything, just nodded and picked up the toiletries and walked after Toni from behind.
The distance of the tent to the river is not far only 100 meters, but the dark forest filled with heterogeneous and large trees makes the river invisible. I looked around while walking. My eyes caught a woman behind the trees. When I looked back, the figure was gone. Not wanting to get far away from Tono, I accelerated my pace. We got to the river and took a shower. I accidentally stepped on something on the bottom of the river that was not deep. I grabbed it and it turned out to be an ankle bracelet. Very beautiful anklets. Similar mini size chain filled with golden yellow beads. I remembered Yuka who liked accessories. After the shower, I showed Yuka the anklet. Sure enough, Yuka was very interested in that anklet. Then I give it to you, I'm a man.
The highlight activity on Camping today is the search for treasure. We are divided into 5 groups, consisting of 4 people each group. Me, Ona, Toni, and Yuka became one group. His mission was to find the Purple Box within the forest with a map that each group had already held. In our spirit tracing the Forest following the instructions that the committee had prepared. We have been tracing the forest for 3 hours, but the purple box has not been found. Suddenly the voice of the committee using a loudspeaker announced that the purple box had been found. It turned out that we were unlucky, but we were happy to be able to adventure in this forest. We finally turned around to the tent. On the way the figure made me surprised again. His facial expression is different. This time the man was angry with me. But because I was afraid I turned my eyes and kept going.
