Old Jacket
Chapter 3. Hidden Heaven.

Day by day has passed. Reading a novel by someone else in the corner of the class, when there are no hours of lessons becomes part of what Lana likes, hoping to get inspiration for the novel that Lana is working on.

" Have you read the novel mulu lo na, when did your novel come out?" said bara meledek.

" Gatau bar cave, the ultimate richness" this is again difficult to get inspired by "my answer while continuing to read the novel.

" it is still cramped lo, it has been given the same gift Dinda hahaha "his words with a soft tone.

Lana doesn't pay attention to the pressure from Bara. His eyes focused on his novel. The story of the novel that Lana read tells of the union of people who are in love.

" gua hope the end of the cave love story is the same as Dinda like this novel." I said inwardly.

 The school's clock bell has rung. As usual, Lana drove Dinda home. On the bike Lana tells Dinda about Bara's invitation to go somewhere in hopes of finding something new that Lana can write. Dinda just smiled not spitting out a word, Lana hope Dinda likes her plan.

The next morning Lana said goodbye to the mother to go with Bara, because today is Saturday.

On the streets of the city that has not been crowded by road residents, Lana drove her motorcycle to Bara's house as a gathering point. It turns out there is also Nusa, Bara's cousin who Lana knows. Wavy hair with a little brew has become a characteristic of Nusa. Lana knows a little of her background, she is one of the leaders of a nature activist organization that is quite famous in Indonesia. 

" uh na, how are you" said Nusa say hello.

" Good heheh" I replied.

We chatted for a moment to melt the atmosphere so that there was no awkwardness, because Lana rarely met Nusa even though only occasionally.

Finally Lana, Nusa and Bara began a journey on a motorcycle to a very remote place at the foot of the mountain, which is located quite far from Bara's house. This time Lana was in a piggy bank with Bara, Lana was sure her old motorcycle could not afford to litter the typical uphill roads of the mountains. On the side of the road, the multi-storey building transformed into trees and urban heat transformed into a mountain cool air. Lana enjoys the typical atmosphere of these mountains, until finally Lana, Nusa and Bara arrive at a bamboo house far from the neighbors near this clear river flow. In front of the house there was only a middle-aged man sitting while enjoying his kretek cigarette. Because of the terrain that is not possible to pass, Lana, Nusa and Bara leave their motorcycles to the middle-aged man. From here Lana, Nusa and Bara have to walk down the river. Step by step has passed. Lana feels her heart and mind feel calmer when she is here. 

Attach them to a beautiful waterfall, with water bias that raises a rainbow in the middle. Lana's eyes didn't blink at all, nor did her mouth not speak because it was in a hidden paradise. After they took off their clothes and swam under them, they also dived into the riverbed which looked very clear. This time Lana felt free, as free as the birds flying in the sky. 

After being satisfied enough to swim in the waterfall, now they brew coffee to be body warmers. They also fish, because the stomach is getting hungry. Do not wait so long fishing rod with bait worms in eating fish large enough, hurry they burn the fish catch.

" Bang, where do you know where rich gini comes from?" ask me.

" It used to be that KKN was not on purpose because the cave was curious about the crystal clear river water, so the cave followed him until he met this waterfall." answered Nusa while flipping fish.

Before long the fish that was burned, had matured. The smell of the fish piercing the nose made Lana want to eat it immediately.

" It turns out that the flesh of this fish is sweeter than any cave has ever tried before" my inner whisper.

" It's dark, the fog has started to fall again along the road there are no lighting lights better overnight first here tomorrow just come home" said the middle-aged father.

Nusa did not mind the middle-aged man's offer, as did Lana and Bara. They decided to spend the night in the house. 

In the dark of the night only a small fluorescent light illuminates. Lana sat on a bamboo woven chair, smoking and speechless. Lana was not daydreaming but was taking advantage of the time to calm the mind.

" How come you haven't slept, son? " said the middle-aged father surprised me.

" yes sir gabisa sleep, eh sir it looks like sama bang Nusa already seem familiar sir?" much me.

The father explained that Nusa and some of his friends had stayed here for a few days, to practice his lectures. This electric light is the result of the hard work of Nusa and his friends during this time. They managed to make a waterwheel that was placed behind this house. He also explained that if his wife had died long enough and his son was wandering outside the city, his days just eating potluck not infrequently not even eating at all. The night grew late Lana and the middle-aged man finally decided to go inside and sleep .

The night changed in the morning, they decided to go home to each other. The words of gratitude to the middle-aged man became the last sentence on before they left. On the way home, Lana's heart immediately in her mind came up with an idea.

" what if the cave wrote an article about the hidden paradise is yes, so that many tourists who come. Can it be a field of money for that father?" I say inwardly.

Lana tries to think about it later when she gets home.

Finally they arrived at Bara's house, because tomorrow Lana's school must immediately say goodbye to Nusa and Bara to go home.

Good Day in town.

Happy Day Mother.

Good Day Dinda.

I miss your traffic jam.

I miss your screams in the morning.

I miss your cheats during exams, I miss your smile too Dinda.

On a motorcycle with a jacket draped by Dinda, Lana got something new, I don't know after the trip yesterday Lana was more grateful for her complaints in previous days.
