Shortly after, they resumed their journey.

By night their car had just passed through the teak forest area to their village

The quiet streets look very scary at night.

When you see there is a bend that is a small road that is not paved

entering the interior, Arga then turned his car slowly

and be careful because the state of the road through its width fits as wide as the car.

“Arga...serem very yes ..if in front there is no village how ?” ask Hilman who was rather horrified

look at the large teak trees on the left right side

with its wide leaves, was lighting the road at that time only

relying on the full moon.

“It is rich to enter goa course” continued Roni when he saw the lush teak leaves on the side of the road

so that the branches of teak leaves at the top of each other are linked to cover the streets.

“You rich have just entered the forest, we have how many times in and out of the forest, in

Sumatra is busier than this forest but you dare,

this teak forest used to be planted so that the growth of rata” said Arga

“Iya ..ya.but do not know this, why I feel scary entering this forest !” hilman

who was sitting in the back bench, so afraid he did not dare to look back.

“Eh..that there are people passing by, we ask there is a village not in front there!” said Roni.

Arga stops his car and greets the old man who bears the pikulan

contains teak leaf ties.

“Goodnight sir, may we ask Sir, is there a village ahead of there Sir?” ask Arga.

“There is...but still a long way, please just keep going !” saith.

“Thank you Sir !”. Arga again accelerated the speed of his vehicle

and soon they saw the flickering lights.

their hearts were relieved that they were finally able to meet the village in the middle of the teak forest.

When he arrived at the first house by the forest, Arga stopped his car.

“Ron...down dong ! ask where is the house of the village chief?” arga commands. Roni nodded and

get out of his car, then he knocks on the door of the house.

“Assalamualaikum”sape.

“Waalaikum salam” heard a hoarse voice saying from inside the house.

An old man opened the door to greet them in surprise.

“Sorry sir, I came from Jakarta to ask the house of the village chief here,

um...why can you help us?” ask Roni.

“Home of the village head…? Ehm..let me drop by, close by from here!”. That old man

then closed the door and went out of the house to take his guest to Mr. Wongso's house,

village head Margasari.

Until the village head home is quite spacious terrace they are received kindly. Arga

then tell me his need to come to the village of teak forest is to want to

look at the state of the forest and its contents,

because in addition to the investigation the results will be recorded, the,

said Mr. Wongso, the village chief.

After thanking Arga and his friends following Mr. Wongso in

but the bed was small so Mr. Wongso gave additional pillow tikardan.

“Villages are well known and friendly,

that's why I like to visit the village” said Arga while breaking his body and straightening

“Oh yes Ron.Pramalan we missed, apparently the head of his village did not have any girls, he said,

our tour this time means quiet again ” sela Hilman who fell asleep on the mat both Roni.

“Ah...you who thought only women, only,

but do not worry in the forest later also a lot.” said Roni.

turning his back to his friend.

“What's a lot Ron?” hilman.

“Hus ..laughs don't be this hard at home people know!

besides it's night let's get some sleep!” scold Arga,

even though their mouths still smile amusedly.

The next day Arga and his friends were getting ready,

the three wore jeans and a leather jacket and a hat with a backpack on their backs,

before long Mr. Wongso came out of his room and took them to breakfast,

there is sweet tea and boiled cassava served in the bale bale in front of the house.

who just broke it.

“Wah..ini is already special pak” Hilman take a snack of boiled cassava while laughing.

“in Jakarta rarely meet breakfast like this pak” said Roni.

“How far is the teak forest from this village sir?” Arga asked while drinking his tea

“ is not far, only about one kilometer, after breakfast will take you there.

After chatting for a while while finishing his breakfast,

pak Wongso escorted his guests to the teak forest,

they walked towards the eastern teak forest.

“Pak if you can ask why we are heading east?” ask Arga.

“Ehm ..begini teak forest in the east is usually passed by people, people,

there are many residents who make a living by taking teak leaves

the old or the fallen to be sold to the market.

Sometimes there are also many branches scattered

and they use it for firewood. And we allow

they take the original forest products do not damage, they,

until now they have complied with the rules,

so that the teak forest in the east is maintained, clean and not too lush”

said Mr. Wongso explained as he continued walking.

“If the forest to the west there, almost never passed by the villagers because it is too thick, because it is too thick,

also because of its high area up the hill. Behind the hill there already does not include our area,

to get there there is a path that is almost no longer visible

because it is covered with trees

so that people here rarely there.

According to the old man's story, the forest was guarded by hermits

which sometimes appears in the form of****wooden.

Behind the hill was a river that was quite swift

and downstream there is a small village that also has a way out

the Batu Raden Purwokerto

maybe now there is a car from the city that entered the village

if you first have to walk through the slopes of Mount Slamet, then,

so yes quite far from here”.pak Wongso continues his story with passion.

“What are the animals in teak forest here sir?” ask Hilman.

“Violent beasts such as tigers and bears do not exist, most snakes and small animals

others”. Mr. Wongso

“Thankful...!”muttered Hilman relieved.

“Why Man ..fear Yes ?” cela Roni's.

“Ah not...cuma just get ready” said Hilman, while Bobby just smiled

hearing a friend's conversation.

“People who used to be going through the path to the forest

west there to find wood,

tell them they've seen a pretty big ****

who passed from a distance, though during the day he carried a torch just in case

but they immediately canceled his intention of entering the forest and

he ran home because his heart was worried and afraid, but they were already

used to find wood in the forest to make a living. They believe that ****

the forest is a hermitage incarnation that protects the western forest.” Wongso's story.

“I think I dong Arga..., it is common to go in and out of the forest but this time, it feels different!”

hilman.

“Lain..how? do you have a hunch ?” sela Roni's.

“Know!… Anyway it feels scared and weird!” sahut Hilman's.

“Ah,

let's keep going!” arga Tegur.

“Big….You can only drive here,

but remember not to go too far and go home quickly,

don't wait for the afternoon, you will get lost !” message Mr Wongso.

“Thank you sir, message you will always remember” said Arga.

After Mr. Wongso came home they then continued their journey into the forest.

They spent quite a while exploring the forest while taking some photos of teak trees

who was in the forest. Arga is so cool to enjoy the scenery found in this forest.

“Arga...the land that we step on the longer the uphill means we have reached the hill, the,

let's go back later get lost!” Hilman reminded Arga because he felt

tired as the road starts to climb.

“New what time, already exhausted, let's rest first !” take Arga down while lowering her backpack.

They then looked for a somewhat bright spot and sat down on the roots of a very large tree.

They rest and take the mineral water they carry in backpacks to drink.

“Arga..what are you not satisfied to see the teak tree as far as its breadth,

continued also the same Arga.all yes teak tree…

we just go back to Baturaden, we just go up to the top of Mount Slamet.

and sulfur bath there it feels more fun !” bring Hilman.

“There will be later after from here, if you are tired of walking, you just wait here, just,

I'll ride by myself, I want to see west, just a minute, okay!”

said Arga while taking his backpack and walking deeper into the forest.

He did not yell at his friends.

“Do not go there Ga…! if you get lost how ?” sahut Roni is worried.

“Ah no, from the top will look the village below,

I'm leaving first, if you don't want to wait, just go home !

I'll go home by myself” Arga said as she walked away from her friend

who still sat and looked at each other, though in their hearts they were worried

but both are forced to let Arga's recklessness

if there is a desire, nothing can stand in the way.

Roni and Hilman looked at Arga's departure until it disappeared from the sight of his eyes,

while waiting for Arga's return, the two then let go of the fatigue

while resting his body on the roots of the tree.
