Their lunch menu cuisine is very simple, there are only instant noodles, boiled eggs, and sardines. The supplies they brought from home were all almost the same, such as rice, eggs, instant noodles, sardines, corned beef, and other kitchen spices.
Each group had to cook food without asking the other group. The Via and Dirga groups are quite familiar, so the matter of cooking helps each other and when they have finished cooking they immediately eat together.
"It turns out that our cooking is not too bad" Novi chanted while chewing his food.
"Yes dong, I'm a cook" replied Bunga with a mumawa.
"Without me, you will not be able to cook with such delicious results" Dira denied.
Everyone laughed at the discussion between them. Togetherness like this will be a very meaningful memory in the history of their lives later.
"Dear, try it. This is delicious tau, not too spicy" said Chess while feeding Via with rice that has sardines.
"No ah, I don't like sardines" said Via, distancing the hands of Chess who would feed him.
"Cobain first in order to say good or not, if you do not like it already do not di continuein" Chess still forced Via.
"Okay, a spoonful of ya" Via agreed.
"Alright, open your mouth" Chess Pinta.
Chess also feeds Via with the food he eats, the small attention shown by him makes the sense of comfort always appear. The attention that Via never felt from his parents, precisely now he got from the lover.
"Woy, want to come here to help solve the problem, not dating let alone later cause problems" joked Dirga.
"Eh disturb me, I'm here to help the problems faced by my boyfriend as well as provide comfort. Is this kind of attention wrong, bro?" reply Chess smiled.
Speech thrown by Chess is able to make the cheeks Via blush. A shower of happiness emanated from his face.
"Thank you, you are so kind to me" said Via with a smile.
"Udah I should have protected you, because I really love you" Chess said.
"Yeeee even dating, ah mending cepetan after the food let us pack and think of ideas to find information about this mystery" Novi ordered seriously.
"Tumben is a smart boy" said Dirga, who made everyone laugh except Novi.
"So you think I've been stupid all along?" said Novi while glaring.
The plotting shown by Novi did not scare Dirga, but his laughter grew louder.
"I'm the same Novi will wash dishes used to eat in the bathroom" said Via.
"Alright, me and others will remain in the tent to keep watch while tidying up the location" said Bunga.
Via and Novi rushed to the bathroom to wash, this time the atmosphere around the bathroom was crowded because some students were doing activities such as taking water and washing dishes.
Beside the bathroom there is a very large and lush mango tree, the fruit is quite dense and will soon ripen. Via continued to observe his surroundings, not far from the mango tree there was a garden patch belonging to class IX C that planted corn.
Class IX C is busy harvesting its young corn to be boiled or burned. The activities they do invite the desire of Via in order to participate in picking their corn.
"Nov, I'm going there first" said Via while pointing towards the corn garden.
"Don't be long, soon I'll be finished nyuci" Novi said.
"Not long, want to ask for some to burn later tonight" Via replied as he passed leaving Novi along with children from other classes who were washing as well.
Via continued to step into the corn garden belonging to class IX C, the corn garden is not so broad but the results are enough to burn tonight. Burn corn while playing guitar and singing in front of a campfire.
"In, another corn harvest?" greeting Via to Adi the head of class IX C.
"Eh, Vi, just ngagetin. You want some corn?" ask Adi.
"May I be loved" replied Via smiling.
Via cheerfully helps Adi and her friends pick corn to burn and boil. There is a sense of happiness that envelops, their efforts all this time produce satisfactory results.
"Vi, at the very end of the border with the IX D-class green bean field has not been picked up yet" cried Adi.
"Okay, I'm picking it up" replied Via.
The corn stalks were towering higher than Via's body, making himself a little difficult to see around. Via walking up to the end of the corn garden, about 20 meters from where he stood clearly visible shady mango trees.
At first glance there is nothing strange about the mango tree, its shady branches, its trunk is large, and bears sweet and thick fruit. When Via was about to turn his body around, he suddenly smelled a smell of incense.
"I have the smell of frankincense here" Inner Via.
"The smell of this frankincense is what is the same as the signs of the appearance of the Mr. The pose?" ask Via in his heart.
Although fear began to occupy his mind, curiosity managed to defeat him. His eyes were spread around, there was no sign of anyone burning incense or Mr.'s presence. Poses.
His feet stepped towards the mango tree, the closer to the tree, the stronger the smell of incense.
"Is it possible that the frankincense came from this mango tree?" inner Via guessed while continuing to walk slowly.
Smoke billowed behind a mango tree that now lives eight meters. Fear and worry again enveloped his heart. Afraid that suddenly behind the tree is in Mr. Pose or Mbak Kun who is taking a nap.
Although the fear was there, cold sweat started pouring out, but Via's feet still stepped to see what was behind the mango tree that was in front of him at this time.
Via's eyes widened when he saw the apparition before him. I can't really believe what's in front of him now.
"Who put the offerings and burned the incense under this tree" said Via lirih.
There are very complete offerings, there are various kinds of flowers, jugs, black glutinous rice, chicken, and in containers made of clay look thickened blood liquid.
"Are there still people who worship the trees for the sake of getting treasures like in movies and novels?" said Via lirih, barely audible.
Via watched his surroundings, there was no sign of anyone around him. Maybe the person who put the offerings had gone a while before he came, because it was seen from the incense that was burned still issued his smoke.
"Vi, are you done yet?" sayup-sayup heard Adi's voice calling out his name.
Via left the place while running towards his friend.
"Where have you been, how long has the cornstarch gone?" adi asked when he saw Via running over.
"So it's out of metic to the very end, not far from the mango tree" said Via while turning around and pointing at the mango tree.
"to that mango tree?" adi asked while pointing at the mango tree.
"Yes" replied Via briefly while nodding steadily.
"You're not near the tree, are you?" tanya Adi confirmed whether Via approached the mango tree.
"What's the reason?" ask Via back when you see Adi's facial expression.
"It's okay, but we are only forbidden to approach the mango tree" explained Adi.
"If we get close, why?" ask Via again trying to pry more information.
"Later we are tempted as the fruit and try to take without asking the owner" Adi replied with a chuckle.
"Huh basic, kirain what is it. Who is the owner of the mango tree?" ask Via kepo.
"Yes the owner of the garden, the time has me" said Adi.
"You know who owns the garden" said Via Brief.
"No" Adi replied briefly while continuing to put some corn into a plastic bag.
"Who's that for, Di?" kia asked because she saw Adi separating some of the corn.
"This is for Via, he already helped us pick corn" explained Adi.
"A lot of it" said Via when seeing the corn that will be given by Adi.
"Thank you, Vi. This is for you to burn tonight" said Adi while thrusting a bag of corn.
"Thank you too, you guys are so good to share" Via replied with a gentle smile.
"Either. Let's now go back to the front, to each tent" asked Fahri vice chairman of class IX C.
Via carried the corn given by class IX C towards the bathroom. In front of the bathroom looks Novi is standing withstanding annoyed because Via went away for a long time.
"You were born there?" bunga said pretending to sulk.
"For a long time because they helped metic corn, now I bring it for us to burn later tonight" said Via while lifting the corn in the plastic.
"Oh so, let's go back to the tent. They must be waiting for us for too long to leave the tent" Novi asked.
They immediately returned to the tent, without any chatter because in the mind of Via is still overwhelmed by various questions about the offerings under the mango tree.
