The Bearer of Petaka Waterfall
Chapter 3 (Journey Trip )

"Alhamdulillah we have reached the terminal," I told Ani and Ida.

The three of us got off the taxi.

"Thank you sir" we said in unison to the online taxi driver we were riding.

"Yes equally Neng" replied the father.

A few minutes later we were looking for the bus we were going to take.

"Da, which bus is passing by your Grandma's house anyway? hot tau," said Ani.

"Well, I'm the one who's going to leave," point to Ida.

We finally boarded the bus which happened to leave only three empty benches.

"Rin, you're sitting just like me, yeah," asked Ida.

"No, Arini just sat down to be with me !" Ani also does not want to lose.

"Yes already, rather than you guys calling me, meningan you guys who just sit together gih, I sit here alone," I said to them.

Coincidentally next to the seat of my two friends, there was an empty bench that had been occupied by a man who had no idea what his face looked like, because it was covered by a hat that he was wearing, and he also seemed to be looking out the window.

"I'm sorry I'm sitting here, yes" I said asking her permission. However, he just kept quiet without turning his head in the slightest towards me.

"Eh..Da..Ni, read the do'a ride the vehicle first let us get safely," I asked them.

"But I forgot Rin, yes I am the same, too" they both said with a cry.

Then I told her reading :

Bismillahbornrohmanirrohim

Subhanaladzi sahhara lana hadza wama kunna lahu mukrinin, wainna ila robbina lamungqalibbun

Means :

"The holy God who has bowed down to us this vehicle, when before we could not master it, and to You we will return."

I was very surprised because the moment I read the do'a, the body of the man next to me seemed flushed like heat, but maybe because of the effects of the weather outside also the times that were hot again.

Finally, slowly the bus we were riding was walking through the streets of the city crowded by motorists.

The distance from Bandung to Sumedang feels quite long because we also ride public buses, not to mention the house of Grandma Ida is in a remote village that has not even been illuminated at all, he said.

"Is it still far?" ani whine.

"It's only been an hour Neng, at most three hours we just arrived," replied Ida.

"Yuk ah mending us bobo aja," asked Ida.

It seems Ani and Ida are fast asleep,

I also tried to close my eyes so that this trip did not feel long. However, I was afraid that later I would fall asleep my head even accidentally leaned on the shoulder of the man next to me.

I tried to endure my drowsiness, but I could not and I finally fell asleep. And sure enough my guess, because without realizing my head was even delicately leaning on the shoulder of the man next to me, but it feels like I'm hard to re-open my eyes.

I felt the rubbing of someone's hand on my head that was covered with hijab.Maybe it was so deep that I also entered the dream realm.

In my dream I felt I was in the middle of a beautiful flower bed, I was surprised because there was no one here. However, I felt a pair of eyes watching me until I was shocked because suddenly there was someone holding my hand tightly, now I try to see it. Next to me was a very handsome man, so I could not blink, and I ventured to ask.

"Who are you?" then he smiled and answered my question,

"I'm ARGA..."

Moments later I finally woke up from a beautiful dream that I was experiencing, because Ani and Ida tried to wake me. I thought the bus we were riding had arrived at the destination, but it turned out I was wrong, but I was wrong, because the bus broke down in the middle of the forest because the tires were flat.

"Rin you were good, your head was leaning on the shoulder of the man sitting next to you" Ida said with a sewot.

"Then anyway? I don't think so," I denied it because I was ashamed.

"Don't wait, I think I've seen that guy where so, his face is rich not foreign," Ani thought for a moment.

Enthusiastically Ani then said,

"Oh yes, he looks like the same opa-opa korea that the other day we met shopping time, inget not?" ask Ani.

"Here you are the one who remembers him constantly, so all the guys you see must look like him" Ida said.

"Udah ah no need to make a fuss," I also tried to break up their debate.

"Eh Da, how long will it take to get to your Grandma's house? it's in ashar time, you know," I asked.

"It looks like an hour away, duuuuuh. when I'm not strong enough to pee," said Ida.

"Small pees are in the bushes, besides we are now in the middle of the forest, so where there is a public toilet, rather than later becoming a disease" Ani said.

"Nih you bring this bottle of mineral water just for cebok, continue not to forget to ask permission first, Excuse me. I want to pee that way," I said with a smile.

Ida finally evicted Ani to pay attention to the surroundings, because he said he was afraid that someone would look around.

I had a glance at the man who was sitting next to me, if you look at it really said Ani, he looks very much like a man who looks like the Korean opa-opa we have met.

But suddenly, Degg remembered a name that had been in my dream, ARGA.

Why does she look so much like Arga's face? my question is in my heart.

My heart is also beating fast. But suddenly

"Dorrr....again daydreaming what hayo?"

I was also shocked because of the puffiness of my two friends who deliberately surprised me from behind.

"Geez, Ani, Ida, why do you guys ngaggetin me, my heart almost got dislodged," I said to them.

Moments later, the bus we were riding was repaired, and passengers were welcome to board back, and the bus slowly drove back.

......................

An hour later...

"Lho Da, it's not the Waterfall we want to go to?" ask Ani.

"Yes, so later we stop in front, there is a gate, from there we walk, the distance is only 500 meters to the house of Grandma mah.

Finally Ida asked the driver to drop us in front of the gate that read Cilengkrang Curug Tour.

The three of us came down with the backpack we were carrying.

"The journey is quite far too Da, I cape so much, let alone carry us this heavy again," Ani whined.

"It's just a minute away, Grandma's house is visible from here, too" Ida pointed out.

Along the way, we were presented with a soothing view of the eyes, the Waterfall that looks still very clear, as well as the cool air because the area is still very beautiful, and not much pollution like in the City. However, suddenly my gaze came to a halt, because from under the waterfall it seemed like I saw a man waving his hands at me, he looked very handsome and dashing in a dress like in the royal era.

"Eh Ida, Ani, you guys look at me like I saw someone over there !!" I showed them their place too.

"Where the hell is Rin? you see wrong times, there was nobody there, noh there was a monkey on the hanger on the tree," said Ida while grinning.

With a laugh we continued walking down the path to the house of Grandma Ida.
