Old Jacket
Chapters 20. Search

We arrived at the time of the evening. As everyone has gathered to search for the missing climbers including the parents of Dinda Dan Andin come to the site. We got out of the car then I saw a few climbers sitting with limp faces. I'm sure he's Dinda's friend. I ran up to him to ask Dinda's last whereabouts before disappearing.

" I don't know mas, time to gather before sleeping on top of Dinda and Andin is still there, fitting I check tomorrow morning is not in the tent "She said.

" Lo ngecamp where "my words look at him.

"I camped to the west of the flag"

Before long we went straight to the jungle door to begin the search, but the footsteps were restrained by the Basarnas who forbade us from entering.

" You know this slayer? , please allow us to enter to find our friends." said Bang Nusa while showing the sleyer.

Soon we were allowed to join forces to find Dinda and Andin.

It was night, only the headlamp was our light. Our steps continued to walk through the thick forest. Each of our posts passed one by one with a shout calling out the names of Dinda and Andin. We walked for a long time until we finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

" Bara you same Apoy pairs the same tent cook, let Lana same cave that nyari Dinda same Andin " Say Bang Nusa.

Bang Nusa and I searched around the top. He called out the names of Dinda and Andin. For a long time we searched and shouted his name until the fog came down.

" Na haze has come down we rest first, tomorrow we continue to nyari Dinda " said Bang Nusa.

I don't pay attention to Bang Nusa's words. I kept looking while screaming his name.

" Na denger cave, the fog has come down we rest first you are tired. Gua believes Dinda is a strong girl "he said in a high tone.

This time I listened to Bang Nusa's words to return to the tent. My heart and mind are completely confused. After I arrived at the tent, I was speechless in a shirt that had been soaked in sweat.

" Eat nih na "said bang Apoy giving food.

" I can eat bang, Dinda there must be hungry as cold" I said softly.

Several times Bara, Bang Nusa and Bang Apoy persuaded me to eat and change clothes so as not to get hypothermia.

" Na klo lo do not eat the same change of clothes, surely you will be sick tomorrow you can die of hypothermia. He said you want to nyari Dinda, just free lo nyari now the fog has fallen down the view was reduced. Mending you eat now, tonight your effort is just to pray na . Bang Nusa said calming.

I finally obeyed the words of Bang Nusa. After eating and changing clothes, Bara and the others decided to sleep. I couldn't sleep that night my mind was screwed, I regretted allowing Dinda to climb.

" lo stupid stupid really na ngizinin Dinda climb "My inner speech.

I don't stop blaming myself lying in the corner of the tent against my sleeping friend. My heart was busy saying prayers, My mind was busy thinking about Dinda's condition and my eyes were busy shedding tears. For a long time I let out tears while praying until I didn't realize I was asleep.

I woke up when sunlight came from the eastern horizon. Rushing over I put some food and drinks into a small backpack for my provisions looking for Dinda. Before long Bang Nusa and the others woke up from their sleep when they saw me getting ready in the tent.

" Okay because according to the info from his friend Dinda he ngecamp in the west of the flag, we could nyari Dinda from the West then widened. cave for two teams ,The same cave Lana to comb from West to South, the same Bara Apoy combing from North to West Inget always communicate through handy Talky " said Bang Nusa.

We agreed to Bang Nusa's remarks, then we left as planned. Bang Nusa and I walked through the increasingly docked forest. We had to get rid of the twigs and leaves that were blocking our way. My mouth does not stop screaming calling his name continuously as well as Bang Nusa who continues to communicate with Bang Apoy.

Long enough we went down into the forest, so it did not feel like the day was getting late afternoon.

" na let's go back to the tent soon malem "he said.

Finally we gathered in the tent, after which Bara also cooked. I who was still sitting pensively outside the tent did not say a word. Again, I blame myself for this.

" The cave is sure na Dinda will meet "Say Bara while feeding me.

" Yes Bar, aamiin" I said.

" Our weapon is prayer, we need a miracle. Do you want to be the accident cave at High School time? When the cave blood runs out of stock but accidentally your blood matches the cave. There is always hope and "Bar said comforted me.

I smiled at Bara's words, this time my heart felt a little calm. I also ate the food that was given by Bara. Until not long ago I fell asleep because I was tired.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

I sat down with Dinda who was watching the beautiful sunset on the mountain

" Dear.". "my word.

"iyaa sayangg." she replied.

" I miss you so much" I said.

" I also miss you, how about your novel series, how not yet when you made it from High School?" answer it while smiling.

" Yes soon so "I said smile.

" Slight story dong, I want to be horrified dear "he replied pleading.

" In the past at a High School there were students who like to smoke in the bathroom" I told.

Shortly Dinda also fell asleep in my arms with the sunlight that disappeared. I let Dinda fall asleep and when I wanted to take her home I tried to wake Dinda up.

" I woke up and went home" I said.

" You're here, baby, I want to go home first and "he answered leaving me smiling.

" dear..Dear.... Dindaaaaaa " said I called him.

Instantly I cried out to wake up from my sleep, to wake up all my friends.

" Why na? " Bang Apoy.

" Dinda Bang's dream cave, he said I have to be patient. I don't feel good" I replied uneasily.

" That's your mind, until you bring a dream. Mending you a prayer before going to sleep "Abang Apoy replied.

Then Bang Apoy and the others continued their sleep while I was busy thinking about my dreams. I tried to force myself to sleep, but I still remember my dreams.

" What's the max of the dream?, is it a sign or is it just a taste of a sleeping flower? " my inner word.

I thought about it long enough, until my eyes closed again.
