"Montrolly..." Many times they called out the name of Mentari. But there is absolutely no truth. They even split up to look for the girl.
Endro, the one who worried about him the most at the time. He did not even tirelessly to continue shouting calling out his Martial Name.
"Kids... Gather around..." Mr. Dio's orders. The supervisor looks exhausted. Breath gasping. "Rain is coming down soon, it seems. We'd better go back to the camp, and ask the others for help to take turns looking for Mentari." Said Mr. Dio, looks to surrender.
"No, Sir. I won't stop looking for Mentari..." Deny Endro. He looked angry at the supervisor's decision.
"But, End... You all look exhausted. Not you, or anything else... We'll keep looking for Mentari. Because mentari is the responsibility of the school." The supervisor convinced Endro.
"I'm not going to stop looking for Mentari, sir. Poor him... Especially when it rains..." Endro's objections were insisting.
"You said you felt sorry for Mentari. And what about your other friends. Don't you feel sorry for them. Just for the sake of one schoolgirl, many students and schoolgirls are suffering." The supervisor began to raise his octave of voice.
"Yes, Sir. I feel sorry for them. Then please take them for a rest. But let me keep looking for Mentari." Resolutely Endro while rushing to leave the supervisor and his teammates.
"Endrooo's..." Exclaimed Mr. Dio to stop the steps Endro. "Ah that kid... What's wrong with her?" Annoyed annoyed.
Endro did not comment on Mr. Dio's call. He continued walking in a hurry. The look on his face was clear, that he was disappointed at the supervisor's decision.
Endro's determination to find Mentari alone has been unanimous. He doesn't want to wait any longer.
Endro continued to explore the forest. He left a trail by planting wood on every few meters of the road he took. Sometimes he calls out the name of Mentari. But the result remains the same. Niente. He didn't even hear a single human voice there.
In the forest that is not much lighting it is getting darker. The wind that initially felt cold, gradually fermented. Anxiety was increasingly seeping into his heart. But the signs he will find Mentari do not exist.
The rain stirs without warning. Endro's getting panicked. His steps hunt, splitting the forest that does not have a path.
There's no hint.
The mentari... You where? At least, you're fine now... Anywhere...
And just then, lightning sounded thunderous. Lightning also gives a sign that the rain will continue either way until when.
Endro is no longer powerful. Even if he no longer makes a sound to call the girl. Only, he did not stop walking.
"Monitor...?" Mumbled. His eyes hit the girl. He further sharpened his vision in the dark forest.
His pale face increasingly looked pale. White is bloodless. Endro immediately ran to find his retreat.
"Starting..." Call her. He clenched that shivering body tightly. "You'll be fine, Mentari. Be calm... I'm gonna get you out of here." Endro. His tears just flowed to see the miserable condition of Mentari.
Lightning flashes popping up. The mentari looked surprised and strengthened his embrace to Endro's body. He hid his head inside the chest of the man's field. The sound of Thunder grabbed, and his fingers firmly squeezed into Endro's clothes. He sobbed in Endro's arms.
"I'm scared, End. I'mfrightened... Hix... Hix... Hicks..." Stimulants. His voice is getting louder. His body did not stop shivering. His teeth were churning unstoppably at all. He's really cold.
"Why are you afraid? I'm here, Mentari. I won't let you do anything." Endro calmed him down.
"They left me... They're not waiting for me..." Her sister on the sidelines sobs her tears. And when the lightning returned to illuminate the sky, Mentari went back to hiding in Endro's chest. He knew, The thunder would come back and rip apart his courage.
"Are you afraid of lightning?" Endro's whisper while smothering tightly next to Mentari's ear.
Mentari.
"Then how was it all this time? If you're told to sleep in a cage." Ask Endro. He could not even imagine the suffering of the girl.
"I'm scared... I feel like I'm going to die... I'mfrightened... They didn't let me take refuge from my fear in the slightest..." His words began to sound blaring.
"Now... There's me. So don't be afraid anymore, Mentari. When the rain subsides, I'll take you back to camp." Endro.
Mentari. He knew that man was his hero. His savior, his protector and the future God created for him.
