MYSTERY OF RIMBA BARA: Getting Lost

Akkh!

The man's large body fell down to the ground in a screech to divide. The pounding of the arm that was filled with energy in completing the motion of Baskara's punch.

There is no further movement of the enemy, if his only life has escaped from the body.

Sejap Baskara looked to the side. The two girls still stood with pale faces.

A smile expands on Baskara's lips. "Eh, are you guys okay?"

The young man's words awakened the two girls from the tension that was enveloping them. Just a nod in response.

Baskara smiled again. He stepped closer. Two girls did not move from their place, one sign there was no suspicion in the heart if the young man wanted bad intentions.

"Well, the danger is over. The bad man I have defeated" said the young man. He was silent for a moment waiting for the reaction of the two girls in front of him. There was no reaction. Are they still in fear? Or is that the way girls are, timid? Her thought.

Still frightened, perhaps, given the events they experienced. If he did not coincidentally hear a cry for help, of course Baskara will not arrive at this place. A forest with quite thick trees.

Initially he wanted to continue the journey north back to his hometown after completing lessons from his teacher, Eyang Perbawa Jati. Follow the forest trail to accelerate to the destination. Towards this afternoon, when it was about to be decided to find a place to spend the night, he heard the screams of women asking for help. Without thinking twice immediately he leaned the body to the origin of the sound.

And what he saw made his knight's blood boil. A big tall man was about to force his bravery on two girls. Without further ado, the evil man. Either because driven by anger, or the maturity of knowledge possessed, in just a few times a breakthrough, he managed to overcome the fierceness of the enemy.

After thinking, looking at his eyes looking at the sky, the sun was almost drowned in the western horizon, the atmosphere of the forest began to dim.

"Night is almost here, let's find a place to rest" he asked. Without waiting for approval, he stepped away. Actually he wanted to bury the corpse of the criminal, but given the atmosphere of the night that was almost arriving, it was better he rushed to find a place to spend the night. If you can get closer to the edge of the forest, how dangerous it is in the forest, especially from the possibility of wild animals.

Two girls followed from behind. Baskara accelerated, tracing the direction he had been in. But not to mention the path, the sky is dark, the sun has sunk, only orange bias remains in the horizon line.

He stopped his steps, and looked back. "It's dark, we're forced to spend the night here, if it goes on, I'm afraid we'll get lost."

The two girls seemed to nod. They were then seen looking around at his place.

Baskara put the bundle of cloth he was carrying, with his sharp eyes in the groves of the trees, collected quite a lot, and he lit it with a lighter.

The flame brought warmth, also illuminated around them, a piece of tree that fell not how big and looks still sturdy attract the attention of the young man, he grabbed the bundle and then approached the piece of tree trunk, and then came up to the piece of tree trunk, he put his ass.

"Come here, sit here" he asked.

The girls said they were sitting next to Baskara.

"Don't be afraid of me, I'm not a bad person, introduce me, my name is Baskara, a young overseas man" he said, trying to break the rigidity.

"Thank you, sir" replied one of the girls.

Baskara nodded, "Why don't we help each other, what's your name?"

"I'm Laras, while this is my cousin's sister, Tanjung her name is Tuan," replied the girl who voiced earlier.

Baras is so beautiful, his hair black unraveled, his eyes black look radiant, his skin yellow, his body shape is so ideal for a woman. He wears yellow clothes. While the name Tanjungpun is no less beautiful, with typical black eyes slightly brownish, with dimples decorating the cheeks.

Back Baskara nodded, "This forest is so dense, how did you two get here Laras?"

Laras's face looked sad, "Our village was attacked by a herd of master robbers, it was our parents who asked us to leave the village immediately, fearing something bad happened to us."

"Oh, that's how it looks, but how did you guys get to the woods?"

"We were confused about where you were going, thinking we were a safe place to hide for a while, which is why we came here, unsurprisingly, as soon as this afternoon we entered the forest, another danger threatened. The evil man who fought with the master that we met" explained Laras.

"Luckily I'm not late, all right, you rest, tomorrow morning I send you back to the village," the young man broke up after hearing the girl's explanation.

The two girls briefly cleared the surrounding leaves, and finally broke down, sleeping with the bundles they each carried.

In his view Laras and Tanjung, ah, what a shame the fate of these two girls, had to experience such an event. But they are still lucky, at least there is still a village where they can go home, and also the parents they will meet again. She being? Since childhood, he was raised by his teacher. Eyang Perbawa Jati once said, he met him on a trip in a village in the north, in a state of crying alone, in addition to the bodies of two adults men and women who were drenched in blood, a village that is ravaged like in the lunge of a violent crime storm. Was the body that his teacher saw his parents?

Not feeling Baskara's eyes glazed over the sadness. He was wearing the back of his hand. However he must investigate his origin, for that he must immediately continue his journey north. Thinking there then laid down his body, and let his mind continue into the realm of lena.

The sunlight that broke through the leaves woke up Baskara, he immediately got up. Laras and Tanjung not how long it was awake.

"How are you guys sleeping, all right?" tanyakanya.

"Your voice, sir," this time the Cape spoke.

They soon enjoyed breakfast. "So far is your village from here?" ask Baskara while gnawing at the meat in her hand.

"No sir, as we recall, we have not gone too far into the forest, and from the edge of the forest is not far from our village, even we still see the houses of the people from the edge of the forest, and from the edge of the forest, because of the location of the higher forest plains," replied Laras.

"Then, after the meal, we're heading to your village, I'm worried, because you said the herd of robbers that satronized the village" said the young man.

"Good sir."

Thus, finished they spent breakfast, Baskara invited Laras and Tanjung to continue their journey out of the forest.

But it is strange, it has been running for quite a while has not been found signs of dense forest trees will run out, even the sun that was originally moving from the east has now started to radiate hot, blazing, indicates that time has gone by day.

Laras and Tanjung who walked behind him look tired for a while wiping sweat.

"Laras, Tanjung, is it true that the road we are going through, why the forest boundary has not been seen as well? The feeling of yesterday's time I entered, not how far from the edge of the forest?" tanyakanya.

"Oh sir, we are also confused" replied Tanjung.

Baskara stop step. "How come, yesterday I entered the forest from west to east, and this morning we moved west, why do the trees look so dense?" he said it as if asking himself. Look into the trees that are looming around him.

"What do you think? Do we go ahead or rest?"

"We are exhausted sir, you should rest first," Laras replied. His clothes looked tangled in addition to being wet with sweat.

"All right."

The young man looking for a shady place to rest, he asked two girls to light a fire to warm the jerky he was carrying. As long as the girls are preoccupied with their duties. He himself tried to look around, who knows the path that will lead them out of the forest.

After checking fruitlessly, he returned to where the two girls had left him. Apparently they have completed their task. Then he sat down, and they went back to eating with the same menu that afternoon.

There was no conversation as long as they ate, the mind wandered each other, especially engulfed in the question of why the forest boundary they had not met? Did they take the wrong direction?

After their meal, Baskara continued westward, still confident that direction would lead them out of the forest.

But really surprised, the exhausted two girls were brought to the road, still they were each confined in the forest. Baskara decided to stop the trip that day, because he could not bear to see the legs of Laras and Cape that began to blister too heavy to walk.

Luckily, not far from where they decided to spend the night, there is a river that is not too wide, clear water, can be used to clean themselves and taken for drinking.

As the day began to grow, the three of them sat in a circle of fire. Their menu is different tonight, because this afternoon Baskara managed to catch three fat fish, and now they are grilled to fill the stomach.

"Is your leg still hurting?" ask Baskara while flipping through the fish he burned.

"No sir, after we washed with water and brought enough sitting, it was not painful and achy" replied Tanjung.

"Good," said the young man. The fragrant smell of mature fish is smelled to make the stomach ask for immediate filling. He deftly raised three fish, placed them on a prepared leaf.

"It's ripe, come on, let's eat" he asked.

The association of a few days makes two gadia not feel awkward. They were without shame again taking their respective rations.

"Which way do you think we're going tomorrow, going west or turning?" ask the young man while eating.

"We just according to which path you took, frankly we also really do not know anymore, which direction leads to the exit from the forest.

Baskara nodded slowly, though hesitating, he was still determined to take the road westward, so hopefully tomorrow they find a clue.

***

But apparently fate said another, not just a day, two days, had a week they traversed the forest, still did not find a way out, even so frustrating, he said, already the four winds of their path traveled still nil result, even as if the farther they go into the forest, the more various plants they meet, as well as the animals, even, making Baskara more alert, if only he himself, would not be too worried, but because he was with two girls who did not have the intelligence to shine would be very dangerous when meeting wild animals.

On the eighth day, when they arrived at a grassland area that looked fertile, the trees grew a little less there, so that the sun could shine brighter without obstacles. There is also a clear river. The sight made suddenly a single thought appear in Baskara's head. It would be nice of them while living in the area, building a simple hut to live in. If so, would not be more calm if he stepped foot probing the forest area, because Laras and Tanjung would be safer if sheltering in the house.

He presented his idea, and they both agreed. Then the next day he began to cut down the trees around him. With a sword of mustika given his teacher easily he did it. And in aid of Laras and Tanjung began he set up a log cabin.

Within a few days stood the hut, a simple hut with a roof of dry leaves. There are two spaces in it, one front room, and one bedroom, for cooking to be decided outside the house.

The wooden hut reserved for Laras and Tanjung. He himself will rest outside the hut, just in case.

Seriate.
