Hasan continued to finish his cigarette while looking at the scenery at Post 1.
Rico approached Keenan who was looking at Laras, Tissa, and Alya.
"Hey, Keenan, do you still remember me? Rico who used to climb Mount Ageung together with Hasan"
Rico asked while looking at the women near him and hugging each other in his heart.
"Crazy beautiful, Hasan's friends are also beautiful.
Especially the girl wearing the Grey Jacket, her face is really sweet and she also has dimples on her cheeks"
The woman Rico meant was Laras because she was wearing a Grey Jacket and had dimples on her cheeks, while Tissa and Alya were wearing Blue Jackets.
"Oh Rico remember unless you shave your hair, then I think I'll forget.
Where have you been it's been so long since I've seen you again, oh yeah let me introduce my campus friends.
This is Laras, Tisa and this is Alya"
Keenan introduced them to Rico.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Rico" Rico answered a little awkwardly.
After finishing his cigarette, Hasan joined his other friends.
Followed by Riki and Rengga who when they arrived at post 1 they first ate at a stall.
"San, can I join you guys and get to know Laras hehehe"
Said Rico enticing Hasan to climb the mountain together.
"Oh,I know for sure you like one of the three of them, right, you playboy" Hasan said.
"Eh because Rico happened to be climbing Srinjani alone so he asked permission to join us.
So that the women will have someone to look after, it's not too heavy our load can be helped by my twin, both have long hair and handsome hahaha"
Hasan said then introduced Riki and Rengga to Rico.
They finally became 8 people with the addition of Rico and continued the climb to Post 2 together.
Because the trip was started at 15.50 so the estimated trip took about 1 hour with breaks in between, the climb to post 2 was quite tiring, the climbing path began to enter the forest, the trees began to line up neatly.
The path began to climb and was tiring with a rocky track that made the legs increasingly sore and the breath began to become short.
Rico who could indeed see "them" or had a sixth sense began to feel something strange during the journey from Post 1.
"Guys, I want to ask, are any of you women menstruating?
Because there are people who have been peeking since we were climbing, rather than something happening it's better to go back down while it's still close to going down"
Rico asked the three of them.
"Don't tell me Alya you're menstruating? Let me take you to check to make sure I'm afraid the medicine you're taking won't work"
Laras said with a feeling of fear of what Rico said earlier.
Alya and Laras looked for a quiet place to make sure, and after checking it turned out that Alya didn't menstruate, then who did Rico mean.
Because Tissa had her period at the beginning of the month.
"It seems like he's looking for our attention, none of us are menstruating, that long-haired guy is just making things complicated," Alya said in annoyance.
They agreed again and explained that none of them were menstruating.
"You Rico, don't make us panic, who would be peeking at us anyway, we're just relaxing here, not wanting to be friends with them"
Hearing Alya's words made the other friends shocked.
"Al, you can be annoyed with Rico but please watch your words, Keenan has already forbade you from the start before we came here, I don't want anything to happen to us,"
Rengga said advising Alya with a little bit of emotion.
"Let's continue, we're afraid it'll be too late, before 6:00 p.m. we have to start setting up tents at Post 3.
Let's calm down your emotions, we have to be united with each other,"
Keenan said as he continued climbing followed by Riki, Tissa, Laras, Alya, and Rengga while Hasan and Rico followed in the back position or often called sweepers.
Finally they arrived at Post 2 and rested for 10 minutes and continued to Post 3 with an estimated travel time of approximately 1 hour.
The sun had begun to set and the mountain was beginning to get dark.
From post 2 to post 3, the climb was relatively the same, in the form of large rocks and uphill.
The atmosphere at night on the climbing route was very quiet and silent, making the climbing sensation horror.
Moreover, Mount Srinjani is famous for its mystical myths. Alya sat under a tree holding a flashlight and using a headlamp.
"Oh, why do I feel so weak, can I rest here for a while, my head suddenly feels dizzy" said Alya.
"That's why you have to eat a lot, don't diet, that's not good for your healthy" said Tissa while giving the sandwich she brought to Alya.
"Hurry up and eat the bread, it looks like you're hungry because you ate a little before leaving, finish the bread, don't worry, we'll wait" said Riki to Alya.
While they were waiting for Alya to finish her food.
They saw several people who were also climbing towards Post 3 and they greeted each other and encouraged each other.
"Come on guys, Post 3 will arrive soon, don't rest too long or your legs will get weak" said one of the senior climbers to them.
"Yesb brother, thank you, we'll catch up there soon" Rengga answered it.
The forest was quiet and silent at that time, in between their rest Rico heard a tiger roar that sounded very loud.
Then they looked at each other, it turned out that it wasn't only Rico who heard it but all of them.
"It seems like they are starting to feel uncomfortable with our presence, we better hurry up" said Keenan while getting up from his seat.
"Oh, we just sat down 5 minutes ago, poor Alya is still eating her bread" said Riki to Keenan.
"Gosh..." Rico shouted while closing his eyes.
"Why why co?" Hasan asked in panic.
"The person who was peeking at us since Post 2 is now behind Alya saying.
"I want her, to be allowed?".
Rico saw the figure sticking out its long tongue with its very scary red eyes behind Alya.. Rico said while whispering to Riki.
Riki who was shocked and scared also slid and invited his other friends to quickly continue climbing so that they would soon reach Post 3.
