The Bridge of Satan
Early (3)

A few hours had passed, we were still trying to cross the bridge over and over again until we made it out of this strange world. But.. It's useless, the result will be the same, there is no change. We will only go back to where we were before even though we have crossed that bridge. If it goes straight after crossing that bridge, we will find the abandoned school building and continue like that.

Until we finally have all the possibilities to get off this bridge. By standing on both sides of the bridge, to find out whether the right and left sides of the bridge are the same place or not. One of my friends crossed over and the other stayed where he stood in front of the bridge.

Only on the bridge that has a fog so thick that we can not see what is in front of the bridge. First we tried using a rope we found around the school grounds. The two people held each other by the rope and one of them walked across the bridge filled with thick fog.

"I-this is.. It's useless. We won't be able to get out! aaaarghhh!" said a desperate Grace while pounding the ground so hard that her hand bled. What they do is useless, even though they hold each other's rope and one of them crosses. After Rahmat went across the bridge, Rahmat returned again and met with Wawan who held the rope in the previous place.

"You're right.. It looks like we're going to die here?" said Wawan whose face was anxious.

In the meantime I can only daydream while sitting on the spot. Because I know very well the current situation, whatever we will do is in vain. There's nothing we can do to get out of this place. We will all eventually die here doing nothing.

Then Agus stood up and said, "Friends, let's go around the same school.." said Agus while pointing towards the abandoned school.

Hearing that Bagas immediately stood up and approached Agus!. Bagas hit Agus' face so hard that Agus fell down on the ground. It looks like there's going to be a commotion here, but we don't break them up and just look at them in desperation.

"Are you crazy! you told us to get inside that place! you want us all dead huh!?" said Bagas who was annoyed with Agus' words.

Agus immediately got back up and pulled Bagas' collar, "Then what should we do now! do we have to sit here and die of hunger! do you still want to live! if you want to die then just sit here like a fool!. I will go myself into the school, maybe there will be a clue there." said Agus who finally left us.

Hearing Agus's words about there will be a clue there, made me remember the words that grandfather told me at that time. Grandpa's last story I thought was the strangest of all you've ever told. That is, about how to get out of this world if we get stuck in it.

"Wait.." said I who made Agus' footsteps stop.

"What's more, Dawn." said Agus who was tired of this situation.

"On the clue..my grandfather once told me.." said my words which then everyone immediately looked at me sharply and instantly their faces that looked desperate began to return to have their smiles.

"really!? quickly say!.." said grace while shaking my body vigorously because we will finally be able to get out of here.

Others came up to me and gathered around me to hear what the way out of here was like. Agus who had walked a long way had finally come back to listen to me. Their faces now look just like before. It made my uneasy and mixed feelings subside a little.

"The trick is we have to find the bodies of the people who have entered here and bury them. We have to bury him in one of the classes in that abandoned school that contains the ground" I said as soon as their cheerful faces disappeared again upon hearing of a way to get out of this world.

"WHATAAA! SO WE CAN'T GET OUT BEFORE BURYING THEIR BODIES!!!" yelled Grace that pushed my body violently to the ground. The grace that had just had hope of coming out, was now back into despair.

Seeing this kind of grace made others also feel hopeless. Things turned sour and full of regret. Eventually, they blamed each other. Starting from Zilan who recklessly crossed this bridge that made everyone go after him.

Then they finally returned to blame Agus who was the second mastermind that caused them all to be trapped in this place. Because of the attitude of Agus who pretended like a hero who without a second thought immediately passed the bridge to help Zilan and who made his friends follow him until finally everything stuck here.

"It's all your fault! if only you didn't get to be a hero! we're not gonna follow you!" said the angry Grace while pulling Agus' collar and Agus on the contrary also pulled the mercy.

"No! although Agus was also wrong, but the one who started this was all him! because of you, Zilan! we're like this!" said Wawan who was upset and blamed Zilan.

"You don't blame me! you alone went across to save me! if only you hadn't cared about me, you wouldn't have been stuck here with me!" said Zilan who tried to fight even though his eyes glazed as if to cry.

"Truely we should have let Zilan get stuck here alone! that way we can't get stuck here!" connect Bagas who scolded Zilan.

"Are you stupid! let our friend get stuck here alone!?" said Grace whose mind was diverted when he heard the words of Bagas while fighting with Agus.

"I don't care! want anyone trapped in here! I won't care about it at all! I'd rather leave my friends than I'm stuck here with you!" said Wawan whose face was red upset.

"Do you really think so? you don't care about your friends at all, do you? you want to fight with me!" said Bagas who immediately ran towards Wawan and hit his face with his clasped hands.

They fought with each other and blamed each other. Anis and Lilis could only cry seeing their situation like this. This kind of thing never happened among my friends. Because we always play together and are inseparable.

We laughed and smiled at each other, we never hit each other or yelled at each other. This is completely unprecedented.everything.the friendship we built long ago became broken because we were trapped in this damn world!.

"KUUUPO! HOWDY!!!" I shouted very loudly to my friends and immediately they stopped fighting.

"What else is dawn? do you want to talk about the stupid terms you said before to get out of here?" say Grace by looking me straight in the eye.

"Aren't we friends?." I said as I lowered my face.

"Huh? what did you say!? I think our friendship is over here" said Grace, who then left us.

"No! our friendship will never end! don't we care about our friends! you guys are stuck here not because Agus who recklessly went across alone to the bridge or Zilan who thoughtlessly crossed the bridge. Do you not realize it?." I said that made them wonder at my words.

"Aware what? don't talk about empty talk!" said Grace with annoyance who finally walked back and approached me while clenching his hands. He intended to throw his punch at me then, but...

"Don't you realize we care about each other! Agus who went across the bridge to save Zilan was because he cared for his friend to be safe. So do you guys! actually you went across the bridge was not because of the attitude of Agus who pretended like a hero. But your heart cares about the lives of your friends, so you go after Agus who crossed the bridge!. it was my words that made him speechless and their angry faces became guilty and lowered their gaze.

Meanwhile, Grace, who was preparing to approach me and hit me immediately, stopped as soon as I heard my words.

"Continue?.." continued Grace who was still dissatisfied with my answer and her face still looked angry and upset at me.

"Don't you tell me yourself you wouldn't let our friend get stuck here alone? to Bagas who at that time his words were very bad. Then when Bagas who does not accept that Wawan does not care about anyone will be trapped here, Bagas was angry and did not accept with Wawan's words. Doesn't that mean we care about each other? we care about each other because we don't want either of us to leave our friendship" I said.

"Enough.." said grace who looked furious while bowing his face.

"Because that's when Zilan is trapped in this world we immediately cross to save Zilan and think to bring Zilan back.. Likewise with me, I'm the last one to cross also care about you guys. But what the hell is going on here? we blame each other and beat each other. Have we ever done that before! aren't we always together and laughing together!" I said suddenly, Grace immediately pulled my collar tight.

"Then we have to how! what should we do now! we need to find the bodies of the people who were trapped here!. It.. ukh.. it's scary.it makes me think that we're going to be like that corpse... because it's stuck here and rotting... hyx..." Say Grace.

I completely understand what he feels and also what my friends feel right now. I really understand the fear, the despair. Even Grace who looks like a thug and a fighting child can cry like this.

"There is no other way, no." said Agus as he moved toward me.

"No. That's all my grandfather said. If we've buried all the bodies in that class. Then the fog on the bridge will disappear and the road to our world has been opened again." I said.

"Well then.what can I do. Oi! wake up and don't cry!" agus said to Mercy who sat crying on the ground. Then Grace got up and rubbed her tears.

"So, we just have to do it, right." said Grace, whose eyes were still glazed.

"Yes.." I said.

"You guys are there! quickly come here." said Agus who then they obey his words and we gather to circle to talk about something very important.

That's the way to get out of this demon world. They split their duties, Agus and Rahmat went to explore this place to search for the corpses of people trapped in this world. Then I, Zilan, Bagas and Wawan divided the two groups to find where the classes contained vacant land.

Meanwhile, Lilis and Anis are in charge of collecting fruits in front of the school field. There were wild red berry bushes there as well as a large cherry tree in the middle of those lush bushes. We served each other in our duties and did it quickly.

The commotion that ever happened, we intend to forget each other and assume it never happened. It was the first day we stayed in this world and it went really well. Whether what will happen in the future, we will always be together until the end, because this is the story of our friendship.
