Between Two Different Realms
14. Mountain Dwellers
After we all ate, we decided to linger near the campfire just to warm up because the night air was getting colder.
I grabbed my phone and looked through the photo gallery on my phone. My index hand is fixed on my photo with Revelation, from a distance the man is vaguely seen in our photo.
" Huff, how is this..?' I murmured a long breath.
" Why Riska?" asked Nanda who was sitting in front of me, while the others next to me were engrossed in storytelling and laughing.
" No, no papa" I replied in hiding.
" Why Riska?, you see what the hell?" ask Mauliza.
Mauliza directly put her head to my phone and she was immediately shocked.
" Well, in your photo there is also the man?, this apparition is very troubling" said Mauliza. " Surely yes, I want to say something to all of you" I said hesitantly.
" Tell me, why?" Revelation spoke up that had been silent.
" But if I tell you, don't be afraid!"
" Wah-wah.wah.., this must be the smell of horror!, no deh, ngak so.." Azka was already scared before hearing my story.
" This is important Ka.., when you don't want to hear, you may die curious later..."
" Oh yes!, say Ris.., we are ready to hear..!" Azka. Actually this guy always follows us.., starting from our journey at the end of the hill to here, just I don't tell you the same story because I'm not sure the same guy" explain to them. " You're serious Ris..?, you're not kidding, are you?" ask Revelation.
" I'm serious!, even two rius I dare" while brandishing two hands. " So, how!, I get more creeps we go home aja yuk, I'm afraid of it.." Mauliza's getting a little scared.
" Za.., you want to go home?, we are halfway, you know, there is no way we go home, because the gig is a little more already to the top" said Azka cheering Mauliza.
" Here, already!, we have not heard about the continuation of the story Riska" said Nanda who wanted to hear more of my story.
" And this man, his spirit is not calm, he claimed to be a climber last year, he said this mountain every year asking for a collision."
" Well?, I don't believe it.., do you know where Ris came from?" ask Mauliza.
" To be honest, yes, I am also still confused, the man himself said that when we were looking for firewood this afternoon, he also wore a clothes climber like us too" I explained. " So, you mean, you can squirm that guy?, but why are you?" ask Revelation. " I don't know, only this time maybe.., but it's up to you guys, want to believe or not because I myself am not so sure" I said.
" Oh.., I'm more confused.!, if he's a spirit, where is his body now?" azka's question made me want to know also where the body of the man is now.
" He himself does not know where the body is?, but he once said also, this year there will be another collision, it's the turn of one of us who became the growth."
" Ris, you're kidding again right?, don't make us all so afraid dong.." said Nanda.
" I'm serious.., besides I don't believe it either, but if I think the way out of this is to find the body of the man, what do you think?"
" What..?!, Azka and Mauliza answered.
" Pleas deh Ris, find the body?, we just do not know how the mystery of this mountain" Azka said.
" The real Ris..!" keep Mauliza again. " Riskah, why do you think that looking for the body of the man is the way out" asked Revelation again.
" Gini ..nih yes, you all are horrified first, we continue to climb while looking around us how?, if even the body will meet the occupants who actually might come out."
Papa once met an evil inhabitant, then helped by a good occupant, maybe this can solve our problems as well.
" Rise, Risk..! why just shut up?" ask Revelation.
" I know how we should, we pack the idea earlier, we should not be afraid for the opponent's occupants because this mountain has two inhabitants, the inhabitants of evil and good, and we must not be afraid, the good ones are grandfathers!"
" So..?"
" So we have a chance to the top because it was helped by the great grandfathers when meeting the evil inhabitants" I explained.
Hearing my words they were all silent, I doubt they would agree with my opinion, because it is not easy to live it all.
" Huuff.., what can be done" said Nanda and Wahyu.
" So you agree with Riska's idea?" ask Azka.
" Our goal is the top, so yes we have to try to get there" Nanda said with enthusiasm.
Indeed, that is the purpose of our camping and looking for various experiences, it is also impossible for us who have been halfway back home.
Apparently the words of Revelation and also Nanda make Azka and Mauliza want to continue the journey and agree with my opinion.
" Yae.. Then yuk, tonight we go to sleep."

The next day....
Morning came, the sun began to rise in the eastern horizon with a light that was so shining shining on the earth that made our spirits rise again to continue the journey to the top of the mountain. We kept walking forward through the big trees, Mauliza who walked along with me looked back, then whispered something to me.
" Ris..., that guy still doesn't follow us?" the whisper of Mauliza in my ear made me look around and nod.
Seeing us whispering made Azka curious.
" Why are you guys?, how are the whispers from earlier I noticed?" ask Azka.
" Now, Mauliza asked about last night's story."
" Oh, what a kirain."
Two days had passed, the peak was not far away anymore.
We passed day and night safely without any obstacles, when night came we woke up the tent, while during the day we continued the journey again. From here on we feel there is an awkwardness, sometimes we smell a stinging foul odor, sometimes also a fragrant smell.
We also felt that someone was watching every step of our journey.
Yes, it was...
Seriate..
