Stone Miners
Eps. 33 Conscious

For a long time they talked about the feelings of Faiz - who had not known since when it began to grow. However, Tia was unconscious. Hani had even fallen asleep in the blue mountain tent that actually belonged to the two handsome men. As for Leo, he remained faithful in front of the campfire to ensure the source of the warmth was not extinguished. How else, it is also impossible for him to sleep one tent with Hani.

"Don't keep on looking at it." Leo sok knows. He tried to find solace because he was left alone outside the tent.

"Why? You're jealous, right? Basic bucin! Just two days apart from Ista." Faiz said from behind the tent and was still awake from his sleep.

"Oh, hahaha look out for karma. Soon you'll also be a bucin." Leo Ejek

"Something really worries me." Faiz's tone turned serious

"What?"

"So many question marks on my head. She's a hard-to-guess woman and a stone head." Faiz breathed

"You know? No matter how hard the stone will be a hole also if it continues to be dripped with water." Leo tried to encourage. "I'm sure he's got another side you don't know yet. Don't be forced let alone accelerated, follow first you want. He will soon be destroyed."

"really. I'm sure there's something he's hiding. You tau? In the middle of the road he suddenly cried even to the point of screaming. I didn't ask why. I let him cry to make his feelings relieved." Bright Faiz

"What's his attitude toward you?" Faiz asks Leo for his opinion on how Tia treats him.

"He is kind and very friendly" Leo replied casually

"Well, right. He was just being ugly to me. I asked for the reason once. You know what the answer is?" Faiz

"Because you're charismatic?" Leo's Temptation

"That's one of them hahaha." Faiz praised himself for a moment and then answered seriously "Say because I'm a man and I know that I wear a broken watch." Faiz recounts the beginning of his meeting with Tia.

After another 25-minute show at 04:00, Tia finally regained consciousness. His eyes opened slowly. The first face she saw was Faiz's face.

"Thank God you're sober." Faiz smiles when Tia shows the characteristics of the kiss

"Leo, hot water... Hurry along!" Declared

Leo swiftly carried out the call.

"Don't move much first." Faiz helps Tia to sit down. The woman seemed so weak, yet had more strength to resist Faiz's help.

"Drink first." Leo said as he handed Faiz a glass of milk chocolate.

"Thank you Leo." Tia said slowly.

"Let me help you." Faiz looked so carefully to help Tia brew Leo's chocolate milk. As he was used to, Faiz no longer bothered Tia who never thanked him.

"Where's Hani?" Tanya Tia circulated a view that was still limited by the tent

"He fell asleep in the tent next door." Reply Leo who is still sitting in front of the tent.

"Where are you going?" Faiz prevented Tia from leaving the tent.

"I want to warm myself." Tia insisted on getting out of the tent

"All right." Faiz came out of the tent, helping Tia whose path was still staggering.

"Be careful Tia! If you fall someone happily hugs you." Leo couldn't help but tease Faiz.

Tia looked towards Faiz who was helping her step towards the campfire. The man just put his shoulder around pretending not to understand Leo's intentions.

***

A cold morning pierced the bones with the sky still dark without sunlight, it appears that some tent residents began to prepare themselves to continue the journey to the highest peak of Mount Kareng. Yeah, what else if it wasn't for the sunrise.

Unlike the other climbers, Hani and Leo are still cool asleep in their respective tents. While Faiz was still accompanying Tia to warm herself near the fire. Although several times told to sleep but the man still insisted to accompany Tia.

"This," - Faiz thrusts instant noodles - "eat first."

"The sight is good." Tia gulped at the sight of the noodle soup that had been given some chili seeds with a squeeze of lime. It really intrigues what else is eaten when the atmosphere is cold.

"Don't be shy cat. Cats aren't shy Tia." Putting his homemade instant noodles that had been hanging in the air since Tia never received them.

"Ish, don't equate me with a cat." His mind then ate the gift of Faiz shyly.

Faiz smiled faintly looking at Tia who devoured the noodles. Not even a whisper even if it's just the sauce.

"White onion, red onion. Hani wakes up and pees." Tia uttered a mantra that was believed to be able to resist the urge to urinate.

"Oh, I'm not strong anymore. How'this? Did I wake Hani? There's no way I'm asking for the Bulldozer's company." Tia's face was getting reddened holding back the pee.

"What's wrong? You just say it."

"Want a drink?" Ask Faiz again.

Tia nodded quickly

"What?? You want to pee?"

Tia nodded with an unflappable facial expression

"Haha jeez!!!" Spontaneous Faiz laughing. The woman's behavior made her anxious.

"You pee there." Pointing the bushes not far from the back of the tent using headlamp light.

"I want to be in the river." He said with a whimpering tone

"Don't! You'll be hypo again. Just put on some wet wipes, yeah?" Persuaded Faiz to hope that the stone-headed woman would comply.

"Aahhh, can't. I want water." Tia's expression became uncontrollable. He had already taken a standing position with his thighs clamped to each other.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some water." Faiz quickly ran towards the river with a 1.5-liter bottle of mineral.

As soon as Faiz returned, Tia was out of place.

"Tiaaa."

"Where are you?" Screeched Faiz

"I'm here." Sahut Tia while giving a code of light headlamp from behind the bushes the place designated by Faiz earlier

"Give me the water." Declared

"A-ah yes... Fine." Faiz then walked closer to the source of the sound

"Turn off your flashlight!! You pervert." Tia's orders, worried that Faiz would see her precious object

"Yes.iya. Ish, who would want to peek. I'm just afraid of tripping because of the dark." Faiz slowed his pace because he now relied only on the moonlight and a little firelight covered by the tent.

"Now walk backwards." Tell Tia when Faiz is almost there.

"Yes.iya..." Faiz as tickled. A strange smile was clearly drawn on his face.

"Stop there! Give me the water bottle."

Faiz gave the bottle to the back without looking. It was quickly grabbed by Tia.

"Why are you still standing there? Wait expelled?" Tia said when her pants were properly fitted.

"Why indeed? I've seen it, really." Faiz Ledek

"Huh? Whahuh? Aaaa fucking." Between embarrassment and rage, Tia chases Faiz down with a now-empty bottle of minerals.

There was a chase that ended with a beating using an empty bottle coupled with a pinch that rained down Faiz's cheeks.

"Hahaha.god.sorry.." There was still laughter from Faiz's mouth. Because the punch of the empty bottle didn't make Faiz feel anything

"What did you say?? Try repeat!!" This time Tia added to the attack by pinching the man's cheek until he sat down. Because the thick jacket Faiz wore made it difficult to pinch the burly sleeves.

"A-aww. oh my goodness.. I'm kidding.. I didn't see anything.. Seriously." Faiz raised his index and middle fingers to form the letter V.

"Srrreeeeett." The sound of tent door zippers opening
