ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD

RESCUERS

Endro limped to follow the mark he had made before finding the Mentari.

In his sturdy neck, Mentari is lying comfortably there. It was not too heavy for the girl. But for Endro's tired body and the slippery soil he taped on, he made him look staggering that night.

The rain had stopped, but the sun would never appear again for a while. Yeah, it was night. By relying on a batrey flashlight, Endro was able to see the marks stuck along the wilderness.

"Starting..." Call Endro with a loud breath.

"Hmmm..." Mentari who has started to calm down.

"Why did you get left behind by the others?" Ask Endro.

"It's all because of my shoelaces... He could not be friends at all. Several times I tried to tie him up, but he just kept coming off. Until finally, all the friends are no longer visible. I did not realize that they had left me, who was tying my shoelaces. Many times I have cursed for it... I don't know what else to do, when it's raining all of a sudden." Sung at.

"Owh so the story... Maybe because you didn't tell them to fix your shoelaces first either. That's why they left you. They were also surprised to not see you with them in post three." Endro calms the Mentari again.

"Yes... You see, I'm already upset with the shoelaces..."

"Now you are safe... So don't cry anymore." Pinta Endro's.

"Yes... If there wasn't you End, I might have died of fear in this forest." Mentari's words further tighten his arms on Endro's shoulders.

"You will not die of fear, Mentari. You're the strong girl I know. So then... Don't ever talk like that again." Pinta Endro's. He does not like to hear Mentari's words that sound resigned in his ears.

"Montari.... Endroooo's..." There was a voice calling their names. Repeatedly. The longer it is, the more it sounds.

"Endro, they're looking for us." Mentari is weakening.

"Yes, Mentari. You hold on, yeah." Sahut Endro's. He tried to strengthen his legs, so that his steps back quickly.

"Endro... Just put me down. You try to get a call from them. I know, you're exhausted." Pinta Mentari's.

"No Mentari... I'm fine." Endro's elak stood firm.

"Endro... I beg. They are more powerful now. Don't push yourself too hard..." Pinta Mentari is getting louder.

Finally Endro. What Mentari said was the truth. He was pushing himself too hard in his current state.

Slowly, Endro lowered Mentari from his back sling.

"We're here?" Endro called out to the friends and supervisors who were looking for them.

Because they are not too far from the search team, then they are easily found.

Endro's body and the sun really look weak. Plus, their clothes were still damp and dirty. They were immediately transported using makeshift stretchers made from Scout sticks and ropes.

I was even scared.... But since I found you, my courage came back...

Be strong and patient Mentari...

*****

Morning woke Endro from his tiredness last night. He looked back at the bright world that day. In a hurry, he got up from his sleeping position.

"Monitorized... What about Mentari?" Mumbled.

Endro lifted the blanket that wrapped his body and came out of the tent. His eyes, accidentally directly over the face of Mentari who was smiling in the corner of the tent at the very end with other female friends.

Endro smiled at the beautiful sight before his eyes. It was like I had no problems that morning. The cheerful face she met on Mentari, made her come back relieved.

"Endro..." Call one of the supervisors. The supervisor was none other than Mr. Dio, who became the leader of his squad in the Mentari search yesterday.

Endro and Mentari both turned towards Mr. Dio. "Good morning, sir." Sapa Endro looks nervous.

The mentor who had also seen Endro was fine, revealed a smile on his lips. He greeted Endro with that gesture. Smiling is the way we greet each other in front of people.

"How are you doing?" Asked Mr. Dio to take Endro's eyes off.

"Good, Sir..." Said.

"Huhuhh... Salute you, End. You didn't just save Mentari. But, you also saved our school." Mr. Dio looks proud of Endro.

Endro just smiled. Though I only thought about Mentari at that time, sir...~ Inner Endro.

"But... By the way, you and Mentari look good..." Whisper Mr. Dio teasing Endro.

"Huhhh?" Endro's face flushed instantly.

Mr. Dio just smiled with his mischievous grin. He passed away leaving Endro still flabbergasted by his words, after gently patting Endro's shoulder.
