On that day the wind was very strong, the trees swayed as if to escape from the ground and run away.
In a certain village, people gather to leave immediately in the hope that their lives will be saved, this place is at the foot of the mountain and surrounded by hills far from the city.
In the midst of panic, residents had gathered in the village yard. "My citizens, calm down! Calm down, everyone! Calm down !!" with a loud and loud voice, the village chief gave directions to his citizens to remain calm and immediately prepare to evacuate.
"How can we be calm, sir! Is this our destiny!!" One of the residents screamed while crying in fear, followed by screaming by other residents.
"What really happened!"
"Why our fate like this."
"I'd rather die now than suffer later!" In the chaotic situation then a young man pulled out a kitchen knife and intended to kill himself.
*Bluggh* Suddenly someone with a tall muscular body hit him and pushed the young man and took his knife off. It turns out that man is Tejo.
"Don't be stupid! Our lives and death must not be wasted. Are you not ashamed of your parents who raised you ?! You foolishly want to end your life!" Tejo then lifted the young man's body and told him to stand up and be strong.
"Our life and death are God who determines. And our job as humans is to live as well as possible, at least we should be grateful to God for giving us life."
"Do you understand?"
*Hiks... hiks...* "Yes, I understand, Mas Tejo.." While sobbing, the young man got up and went to look for his parents to make sure his family was okay.
"All right, all of you, got it? Don't act stupid. I've prepared a few cars to take you to a safe place." The village chief immediately invited his citizens to leave.
"Tejo, please help me pay attention to them! Don't let our citizens get left behind! Understand?!"
"Yes, Sir!"
The wind was getting stronger, some houses even collapsed, and large tree branches began to fall.
Some residents scrambled to get into the car, but Tejo along with the village chief and other village security officers quickly handled it, so everything was under control.
In total there are 12 cars used, 3 cars in front containing children and women, 5 cars in the middle containing men and young adults, 3 cars in the back are cargo vehicles that carry all kinds of goods that have been prepared beforehand. The first car is drove by one of the officers who knew the destination location. While the last 1 car contained village security officers, the village chief, and Tejo. They are in the back row while watching the situation and making sure the car in front of them is good and safe.

"Mom, it's very crowded here, where are we going? I'm afraid, mom."
"Don't worry, we're all together. There's your father watching over us, be patient, boy. Soon we will arrive."
"Dewi, do you know where we are going?" An old woman with a wise-looking face then asked my mother. The old woman is the village head's wife.
"I don't know either, ma'am, but it looks like we're heading north ..."
*
"Sir, are you sure that place is safe?" Tejo that is in the last car throwing a question to the village chief.
"I told Sarkim to check the location two days ago. He said it was safe." The village chief replied.
"Alright, I understand."
"As humans, we must try. Whatever the outcome, we cannot give up! Remember that, Tejo."
"This is not what is written in ancient books, sir. It seems like the prediction was wrong, or maybe God has ignored us ... I don't know." With a sad face, he looked away from the village far behind then stared at the blackened sky and feels the wind is getting stronger. Fortunately, the road in the hills has no trees on the edge, so there is no worry if the road is being blocked by fallen trees.

Suddenly one of the village security guards who sat behind the car and sat facing back saw something strange. It appeared in his eyes that there was something black enveloping everything in his path. Like a blowing mist that seemed to drown the eyes, and hid what was covered by it.
"Chief! Look !! Look at that !! Oh God !!" shouting loudly in shock and feeling scared, the officer shouted to the village head to see what he had just seen.
All passengers in the car were shocked and panicked.
"Oh my God! What is that!"
"Bastard! What's with that ?!"
"Oh no! Hey driver, take care of the car, let the other car go first!" The village chief said loudly and surprised the driver.
*Ciitttt ..!*
"Aww ..!"
"Hey what is wrong with you?!"
"Sorry sir, I'm surprised and I accidentally hit the brake pedal."
The driver who was struggling and shocked was sweating profusely.
"Calm down Wan ..." Calmly Tejo who sat next to the driver patted Wawan's shoulder (the driver of the last car).
"You have to calm down, you're our savior as a reliable driver among us all right ..." With a friendly smile, Tejo calmed the driver, then got out of the car and jogged towards the front then raised his hand and gave a signal with his hand movements to the people who ride the vehicle in front so as not to worry and continue the journey as usual.
Inside the car came the voice of a wise old man. And that person is Pak Birowo the village chief.
"What about Tejo? Don't let those in front know and make them panic."
"Don't worry, chief." While walking past the car to the back and then up the roof of the vehicle Tejo observed what was really behind them.
"Hey, Tejo. What do you see?
"I don't know, just something black like a cloud, but I can't see anything that black thing has passed!"
"Gulp! This is bad!" Said one officer who also climbed into the vehicle while watching the mysterious black object.
"What do you mean?"
"That thing seemed to devour everything in its path!"
"Huhh ?! Really!"
Instantly a group of people who were initially calm suddenly panicked. And they all realized something that was really strange.
The circumstances around them were strong winds and suddenly thunders appeared, but once the mysterious cloud passed over, there did not appear to be any wind or storm. As if the black cloud was consuming a storm and neutralizing it, the wind seemed to stop, nothing could be seen from behind the black objects coming from all directions in their rear direction. They realize that the black thing is passing faster and faster, then they immediately go to their original destination.
"Oh shit! Hurry and go! Come on, hurry up !!"
"Damn it! Come on !!"
With alacrity, the sophisticated driver, speeding his vehicle. And immediately followed the vehicle in front of them. With more speed, Wawan clings to the car closest to them and gives a signal using the car's spotlight.
Tejo, who was in the front seat, then pulled his limbs out of the car window and shouted at the passenger of the car in front of him.
"Hey, speed up the car! There's something behind !!" Tejo shouted with all his might.
Like having an inner bond, the car driver in front of him immediately understood and accelerated the speed of his car. Luckily it was a freight car, one of the passengers then got up and looked for something. Turns out he was looking for a mini loudspeaker.
"Hey, faster ahead! Look back! Otherwise, we can die quickly!"
The situation around them no longer cares about them, the storms, and the lightning they no longer care about. Their concerns are all focused on one thing, namely the Black Cloud which they call "Lamuk".
They were panicked and the cars running like it flying, suddenly something terrible happened. Lightning strikes at the forefront of cars containing children and women.
