Arumi opened her eyes slowly. He immediately straightened his head, when he realized that he was sleeping while leaning on Alfaro's shoulder. While Alfaro himself still faithfully closed his eyes.
Arumi looked at Alfaro's face carefully. A handsome face that is grown with a little fine hair, a sharp nose, thick eyebrows, pink lips and also a perfect facial line.
She was indeed very perfect, too perfect for me that was just an ordinary woman. The closer I get to you, the more I realize I can't cross my line, Arumi's inner self.
Triiiiitts.
The bus brake sounds, a sign that the bus has reached its destination. Camping location this time, located in the peak area of Bogor West Java, the place was named cloud village.
Kampung Awan is a camping place with a view of Mount Salak and citylight at night, set in hills with the dominance of merkusii pine vegetation and bamboo forests (bambuseae). Left and right camping ground is a green damp with mixed tree cover (heterogeneous forest). Kampung Awan was originally a wooden villa, then developed into a camping place, located in Cipendawa block-G Village Megamendung Puncak Bogor.
"Sir..mister, wake up we have arrived" said Arumi as she shook Alfaro's shoulders. Alfaro opened his eyes while stretching his body that felt sore due to an uncomfortable sleeping position.
"I'll go down first, excuse me." Arumi leaves, leaving Alfaro who has not returned to normal after waking up. Aril who was sitting next to Bima now moved beside Alfaro.
"How, are you happy because you can enjoy the trip with him," said Aril, turning to Alfaro.
Alfaro, who was still in a leaning position, was seen grinning from hearing Aril's words. His first trip on this show was really not boring because he could go through with judging Arumi.
"What about the tent, have you arranged it?" asked Alfaro who had turned to Aril.
"It's all done, sir, take it easy."
"Let's go down" said Alfaro who had risen from his position.
They get off the bus. Outside it looks crowded, all campers back in line to hear the instrumentation of the event organizers. Afaro sat in a chair reserved for him, followed by Aril who also sat beside him.
From a distance, Alfaro could see Arumi among the crowd. But the scenery is a little disturbed because Bima who continues to stick with Arumi. Again Alfaro looks upset when he sees Arumi laughing with Bima. The laughter that Arumi never showed when she was with him.

After listening to the direction of the chairman of the committee, it is time for the division of the team where in one team it contains three people in one tent. Usually the employees are free to choose their own team but this time the rules suddenly change. Who else if not Alfaro who changed it.
Arumi approached two female employees who would become his tentmates. The two women warmly welcomed Arumi's hand. As Arumi expected, he wants to have a good and friendly team.
"I'm Kiki."
"I'm Risma."
"It's nice to meet you guys, hopefully we can be a solid team huh," said Arumi enthusiastically.
...***...
Arumi and his two companions, walked towards the place for them to set up a tent. They looked astonished, because next to their place, there was a tent larger than the other tents.
"Is this a medical tent?" ask Kiki.
"I don't know either, but it doesn't seem to be, there's no medical symbol" Risma said.
"Just ignore it, let's put up the tent" Arumi asked.
"Come on!" risma and Kiki simultaneously.
Arumi and his two colleagues look more familiar. While putting up the tent, they told me about the work where Kiki came from the HRD section, Risma was one of the finance staff and they also told me about their personal lives. After a month of working in the WB group, Arumi finally has friends, because in the planning team only she is a woman while four other people are men.

At night at the camping site. Arumi, Risma, Kiki and several other team members were given the first task of cooking the dinner menu today. Arumi was ready to go to the public kitchen tent, but the two colleagues were still busy getting ready.
"I'm waiting outside yeah," Arumi told Risma and Kiki.
"Yes Rumi."
"Master why are you here?" arumi asked whispering, she did not want Risma and Kiki to hear it.
"Can't you stand in front of your own tent?"
"A-what ... So this is your tent?"
"Yes of course, a special tent for Alfaro Wilson."
Why should it be next to my tent anyway, it seems like he really wants to spy on me, inner Arumi.
Soon Risma and Kiki came out of the tent. They were also shocked when they saw Alfaro being there, standing together with Arumi. They approached and stood beside Arumi.
"Good night sir" said Risma and Kiki simultaneously.
Alfaro only smiled as he nodded his head without replying to Risma and Kiki's greeting.
" Then we excuse you sir, we have to go to the soup kitchen" Arumi said with a bowed face.
Without waiting for the words to come out of Alfaro Arumi's mouth and his two comrades rushed away. Alfaro was stunned for a moment while looking at Arumi's teeth. Somehow it felt so strange when Arumi was being so formal to him. The role played by Arumi at this time was in accordance with Alfaro's will from the beginning, but the more days, his heart began to say something else.

Arumi, Risma and Kiki were already in the common kitchen. They were sitting on a carpet peeling potatoes and carrots to make soup. Sometimes Arumi glanced at Clara who was pacing back and forth to monitor all the employees who are currently serving in the kitchen.
"Eh, ever since I worked in the WB group, I've only seen Mr. Al from such a close distance, it's really very handsome," said Risma with a pinched face.
"There is a rumor that says if, Mr. Al was divorced because his wife was caught cheating, it's too bad, yes" said Kiki.
"Humans are not perfect, a man as handsome and as rich as Mr. Al can be cheated on," said Risma.
"Rumi, what do you think Mr Al is?" kiki asked suddenly, because Arumi had just been quiet and listening to their chat.
"Oh that .. how yes, I don't know either" said Arumi pretending to be confused.
He is annoying, ignorant, and also likes to play in bed, huh why do I even mention that one, inner Arumi.
From a distance that is not too far away Clara smiled cunningly when she saw the existence of Arumi. The grudge he still felt, it felt like the fight at that time was not enough to eliminate his sense of regret. With a quick step Clara walked to where Arumi was, from the back he deliberately nudged Arumi's shoulder until Arumi's hand was sliced by the knife he used to peel potatoes.
"Aw. sick," complained Arumi grimacing in pain.
Risma and Kiki look panicked when they see droplets of blood coming out of Arumi's index finger. While Clara who had run away after doing the action, looks very satisfied because it managed to prank Arumi.
"The blood is so much, let's take him to the medical tent" Risma asked Kiki.
Just now Risma and Kiki will petrify Arumi standing, suddenly Alfaro accompanied by Aril comes. Alfaro had wanted to see Arumi as well as review the soup kitchen, but when he got there, he found Arumi who was grimacing in pain while holding his bloody hand. Without thinking, Alfaro immediately approached Arumi.
"Is it really painful?" asked Alfaro who was already sitting in front of Arumi.
"Little," said Arumi who was sitting limp, because honestly Arumi was very afraid to see blood, even though it was only a small wound.
"Why are you so careless, your wounds are deep enough."
Quickly, Alfaro took the handkerchief in his pocket and wrapped it in the injured Arumi's hand. Everyone who was there seemed astonished to see Alfaro's excessive behavior for an ordinary employee like Arumi. Aril looks happy when he sees the figure of Alfaro who used to be now little by little has returned.
From a distance, Clara clasped her hands tightly together. Intention to make Arumi wretched, even make the person he was harmed get the attention of Alfaro.
