An Unfortunate Weekend

It was Saturday morning when the sun shine forced me to open my eyes. My body still wanted to lay on my bed, but the sun shine defeated me. I opened my eyes slowly, started to inhale the fresh air.

“It must be a beautiful day for me,” thought me.

I started to leave my bedroom and sat near the window. I smiled myself, thought what will happen. A beautiful weekend on the mountain. Spent my time without thinking all of my tasks from the lecturers. Yeah…. It would be a great weekend. I could imagine what a passionate weekend in there.

Minutes by minutes passed. I still sat near the window imagine my weekend. I looked at my watch. It was 8 AM.

“Oh...When will the afternoon come? I have not been calm to wait it.”

Suddenly, my hand phone rang. I took it and saw there was a calling from my friend, Artha.

“Morning, Dewi. Have you opened your eyes?” there was a piercing voice from my hand phone.

“Morning, Artha. Of course, you can hear how an enthusiastic my voice, can not you?” answered me.

“Hohoho… I think so. Ok, I just want to remain you that we will go to Betung Mount at 1 PM. You have to prepare all you need. And do not forget to have breakfast and lunch before we go.” Artha explained me.

“Alright, I have imagined spending my weekend in Betung Mount. Oh… I become not calm to wait the time.”

“Ok, just prepare yourself and I do to.”

  “Of course, thank you.”

Then, I took a bath and prepared all we need. A tent, sleeping bag, several food, and whatever I need. I looked at my watch again. It was still 11 AM. The hand clock walked slowly. It was as a snail. I waited and waited. Then, the time I waited came. Artha and I were ready to go to Betung Mount. We went to there by bus, but in the middle of my trip the bus broken down. It was never thought by me. Minutes by minutes walked. It was almost an hour until the bus repaired. Then, we continued our trip. 

Arriving in Wiyono village, we met many people wanted to climb the mount. I was very happy when we started to climb the mount. In the middle of our trip, the rain came, so we should take the shelter. The path became muddy and difficult to pass. It was hard to reach the camp. I became desperate. 

Finally, we arrived at the camp at 9 AM. I became happy and expected the day would be a passionate as I imagined. My tired disappear when I looked the landscape of the mount. We built our tent and prepared to cook the food, but the unfortunate thing happened again and again. When I wanted to pour the white spiritus, it spilled. I was regret and blame myself because we would stay there until Sunday afternoon. Finally, we used another white spiritus. After finishing cooking, we put the meal on the banana’s leaf and all of us sat around it. I got an unfortunate thing again. When I ate the meal, there was a chili on it without I knew it before. My mouth became hot and red, my stomach became trouble.

“Oh…How a terrible day for me.” I thought myself.

I drank much water until the pungency vanished. It was 12 PM when the cloud became dark. The breeze run touching me. My skin felt eerie because of chilled. I took my sleeping bag and gathered with the others to enjoy the night. Suddenly, the rain came when we were singing together around bonfire. All of us were hurry to go to our tent as a group of ants finding the food. I became angry and fed up with this day. I could not enjoy my weekend in there. 

“How an unfortunate weekend for me.” I talked myself and mused over what happened in my weekend.
