Vito, Fadhil and Wawan are three friends who like to climb mountains. Vito is a novice climber, while Fadhil and Wawan have been used to climbing mountains for a long time. They had planned a hike to Mount Merbabu, a mountain known for its beautiful scenery.

On the day of the climb, they set off in high spirits. Vito was very excited because he imagined he could go to the top with his friends and take pictures there. They traverse challenging hiking trails, through dense forests and steep terrain. The atmosphere remained cheerful and full of laughter as they joked with each other and strengthened one another.

However, as night fell, the atmosphere began to change. They decided to take a break and build a tent in a safe place. Vito felt a bit anxious and uneasy, but he tried to ignore his feelings and focused on the beauty of the night around them.

Suddenly, Vito realized that Fadhil was not in the tent. He tried to find out where Fadhil was, but he couldn't find him. In the darkness of the night, Vito searched for Fadhil with a pounding heart. After a while, Vito found Fadhil's footsteps leading to a hidden cave.

Vito felt confused and worried. Unbeknownst to his friends, Fadhil went to the cave to pray to the mountain jinn. Vito decides to follow in those footsteps and catch up with Fadhil. When he arrived at the cave, Vito saw Fadhil in a strange state, as if he was talking to something unseen.

Vito decided to secretly observe them from a distance. He was shocked when he saw Fadhil lying to his friends when he returned to the tent. Fadhil made a story that he only went out for a while to look for firewood.

The next morning, the atmosphere became tense. They felt a strange presence from the moment they started climbing. The wind rustled with an unearthly sound, and strange noises were heard through the trees. Over time, the disturbances grew stronger and disturbed their peace.

Vito begins to be suspicious of Fadhil and feels that something is wrong. He decides to talk to Wawan about the incident in the cave the night before. Wawan was surprised to hear this and felt that something was wrong with Fadhil.

Together, they devised a plan to get Fadhil off the mountain and out of the disturbed area. They tried to find a safer hiking trail and avoid the cave. However, the distractions grew stronger and toyed with their minds.

The peak of tension occurred when they were almost trapped in the gloom of the night. They feel under siege by a mysterious force that wants to prevent them from descending the mountain. Torrential rain fell, obscuring their view, and they struggled to keep their composure.

After long and tiring efforts, the three of them finally managed to find a safe hiking trail and get out of the disturbed area. They came down with a relieved heart, pushing away all the anxiety and fear they felt.

When they finally reached the bottom of the mountain, the darkness and distraction disappeared. Vito, Fadhil and Wawan felt relieved and grateful that they had managed to get out of this gripping and terrifying situation. They ponder the valuable lesson about the importance of loyalty and honesty between friends.

Since then, the three of them have never forgotten their horrific experience on Mount Merbabu. The story serves as a reminder to them of the dangers that can occur when one plays with powers they do not fully understand.
