Candra Kirana
See You Again

Septi rubbed the tears that pooled so as not to fall. Not hearing from Kiran for more than 24 hours left her in a frenzy. He decides to return to the mountain with Surya to make sure Kiran is okay.

The location of the last place Kiran camping was clean, Septi and Surya then went up to post five according to Kiran information. No trace of Kiran there. Septi and Surya immediately went down to the climbing post to make a report.

An hour later, the mountain ranger who was already on site started working on looking for Kiran. The SAR team also came, they moved with the help of local residents and the nearest nature-loving organization who received an invitation to help with the search.

The rescue unit had been moving for two days, but Kiran had not yet been found.

"Sur, how is this? Three days after Kiran disappeared! Let's call his parents!" Septi whines with his face. He felt very guilty for daring to leave Kiran. As a sidekick, shouldn't he be by Kiran's side when she's in trouble?

"We wait until the afternoon, if the search still has no results, I'll call his family!"

"But Sur, the same tent Kiran equipment was found with the SAR team, Kiran said it was just a small bag."

"Sep, Mbah Wiro has informed us that Kiran is still alive, she knows survival science, I am sure she will be found today. It's past midnight, you better get some rest!"

"Yes I know, but Mbah Wiro says Kiran is no ordinary stray, she is misled by mountain-wearing creatures." Septi is back in tears. "I'm afraid she can't go home, Sur!"

"That Wiro had called Kiran twice, Kiran must have remembered coming home, dear! I'm sure!"

"Even if he doesn't come home, at least his body can be found, I could die feeling guilty if something happens to Kiran."

Surya rubbed his girlfriend's back, asking her to meet with Mbah Wiro again to get an explanation. It just so happened that the smart person who became the village elder was able to see the condition of Kiran after being given Kiran's personal belongings found in her bag.

There was the smell of incense stuck in Kiran's sleeping bag, the smell coming from Candra's bandana that was now in Kiran's small bag.

"Your friend may have been snatched away by a demon, but she's still alive. I have called him again, hopefully this time the intention of his return is not hindered anymore" said Mbah Wiro. "Just pray today he comes!"

Septi and Surya nodded together, more relieved even though there was no evidence yet. At least they can rest waiting for the morning more calmly at the climbing post.

"The sifting on the south slope has also been expanded, hopefully they find your friend still in good condition. If he survives, I forbid your friend from climbing this mountain again. As close friends, you should understand the dangers that threaten!" mbah Wiro was firm.

"We understand, Mbah!" Septi nodded in agreement with the message full of mystery. No need to ask in more detail, what happened to Kiran must be related to unusual things.

Mbah Wiro left them and lit a cigarette outside, facing the night-covered mountain. The smoke that soared thickly in front of the mouth was exhaled to the south, his wrinkled mouth did not stop reciting spells.

Kiran was ready with her clothes, so was Candra. The black red plaid flannel jacket seemed to be identical to the guy. Kiran likes it because Candra blends it with her red bandana.

Hm, Candra is indeed hypnotizing her entire senses. Kiran was helpless against Candra's charm, her heart collapsing in joy just because of the inline smile that was on that handsome face.

Compared to Dodi, Candra is darker skinned, typical of Indonesians. But therein lies the exotic Candra, the machine so stands out, and Kiran goes crazy in an unhelpful level.

Kiran put on her shoes while sitting on the patio chair. Sad and happy fought in his heart. Kiran wants to go home because she has to live her life normally, as a student. While parting with Candra is too heavy even though they have nothing to do with it. Meaning not yet.

Candra does not pledge love, Kiran is also unlikely to force. They know each other, it takes time to know each other better.

One thing Kiran is unfortunate, Candra does not have a cell phone to connect their relationship. In fact, if you look around, Candra does not lack the money to buy the object, but indeed her house is constrained by electricity. Never mind .. Kiran resigned to the existing circumstances.

"Are you ready?" ask Candra. He reached out to Kiran, "Let's go now!"

"Come on!" Kiran welcomed Candra's hand and followed the young man's steps out of the courtyard. There is nothing in demand, either Subarkah sir or mak Sinah. The reason is Candra, her father is busy taking care of her guests, while the maid is asleep.

Kiran suddenly tightened her grip after walking down two neighboring houses Candra, where she saw the shadow of the grandmother yesterday looks crowded. But Kiran only saw the crowd in one blink of an eye, then only the astonishment and horror that enveloped the house.

"Where did the coffin disappear?" kiran's murmur sharpened his eyes. He sure not only saw six people, but more than ten, they hurriedly entered near the shoulder while carrying the coffin.

"What did you see, Kiran?"

Kiran shook her head, "Okay .. Maybe my eyes are struggling!"

Candra spoke softly, "Let me give you some eye medicine to get well."

"I thought I had an eyeache" protested Kiran. With all her might she tried not to remember what she had just seen.

Finally the village gate passed, meaning Kiran had come out of the strange village where Candra lived. "How long does it take to the climbing post, Can?"

"It depends on you!"

"What then? I want a spit, but you know for yourself how fast I go" Kiran said annoyedly.

"Udah wants dawn, so we have to get there fast. I pull yes, you will just worry."

"It's malem, Can! Our lighting is not perfect for looking at the road."

"You don't really believe me, do you?"

"Yes, yes I believe. You stayed here for a long time so memorize until the ant holes in this mountain," led Kiran while giggling lightly. Unknowingly his steps moved unusually, following the speed of Candra that moved in one blink of an eye.

Before long, Candra stopped three hundred meters before the climbing post, "Have you arrived, I've got you here?"

"Oh yes, yes, cepet really? A new feeling just came out of the village gate," Kiran said with a foolish expression.

"I have a lot of work to do, so I have to go back home right away. It's for you." Candra gives Kiran a small plastic bag.

"What's this?"

"Coffee, you said you wanted it made at the boarding house!"

"Yes, thank you, Can! If you want to call you how?"

"I'm always here, you can come at any time if you miss," said Candra laughing teasingly. "Drink this fresh, you dry it, dehydrate it later!"

Kiran gulped down water from the drinking bottle Candra gave her. His body felt warm and energetic again. "Sorry, sorry is over!"

"Yes, it's okay! See you soon, Kiran!"

"See you soon, Candra!" Kiran looked at Candra softly, still grateful the young man did not say a bye-bye to her. Kiran then walked quickly to the climbing post that was still empty without looking again.
