Love Blocks the Past

Chapter 8 ~ Pick Up ~

That morning Mikho and the tour participants at the boarding house enjoyed their breakfast. Today is their fourth day camping in the village. After breakfast and a short break, Mikho and the others had a schedule of strolling around those mountains.

They are also fun to enjoy the togetherness with various poses of memorable photos that they have stored in the memory of their mobile phones. Mikho smiled at the happy faces of the tour participants. Everything went well as desired.

All of that is a great success of the tourist event this time because it was followed by the most participants and all went smoothly without any obstacles. They all look happy and satisfied with the tour. In addition to being happy because they are getting closer to each other, they are also getting closer to the members of OSIS who are beautiful and handsome.

If not for the event, how could they possibly be this familiar with Mikho and his comrades. Mikho himself did not limit himself to them. Anyone can be friends with him but the student alone who felt less confident approached the handsome man for fear of being mistaken for pedekate.

Mikho smiled but his heart was sad, if he could carve sweet memories with other friends but could not carve good memories with Celine. Mikho felt hollow. At lunch break, Mikho was still thinking about the girl who had disturbed his heart.

Is eating enough? Is he not sick? Isn't it exhaustion? What if suddenly weak, then can not go down the mountain. Aaaah Celine, why are you making such a mess in my heart and brain, my inner Mikho.

The war between his heart and his brain made the man look his own prick. Suddenly patted her forehead and then grabbed her hair.

"Why loe?" asked Erica who saw Mikho so tangled.

"It's okay" Mikho replied.

Erica who is indeed in class with Mikho every day tries to approach the man but just like the others. Mikho did not consider the girl to be different. Although Erica's attention is often felt but Mikho considers it just a feeling of a friend.

"Do you like that girl?" ask Erica.

Mikho turned his head towards Erica, implied a displeased tone from the girl's question earlier. Mikho lowered his head, only to realize that his attitude towards Celine was clearly visible to everyone.

Does it seem obvious I like it? It turned out that I had completely forgotten my first love because of Celine, the inner Mikho.

"It seems that it is," said Mikho resigned.

If everyone had judged her to like Celine, she couldn't have dodged it anymore.

Come to think of it, I hugged Celine yesterday, who wouldn't have thought that I liked her. Aah, I obviously like him. Is it because you worry too much or because you like it? Inner Mikho confusion.

"What the hell do you like about him? Hard-headedly so. I'm sure he deliberately acted that way to attract your attention. Let alone the children of sispala is already his gang. Applies like a plain girl who has just climbed for the first time when it is common and maybe she is actually a wild girl who–"

"ENOUGH! I don't care what you say about other people or ugly-ugly anyone, the cave won't care but if once again you're ugly-ugly Celine. The cave won't know you anymore!" snapped Mikho.

Erica choked, not expecting Mikho's reaction to be that hard. Of course she didn't want that to happen, Erica wouldn't be able to if Mikho ignored her. Especially not knowing him anymore. The girl finally resignedly did not continue her words but inwardly, Erica cursed and cursed.

Damn you brash! That's very much the response about the plain pretentious gatel chick. I'm so dumb, pretentious pretentious, pompous of the dihepin again, Erica told me in her heart.

Mikho stepped in to join the other male participants. They sang together but it didn't calm Mikho's heart. Occasionally look towards the path to the top of the mountain.

Mikho could have climbed to the top. The man was used to climbing even the extreme mountains. Not only mountains in the country but also famous mountains abroad. However, because of his responsibilities as a committee that insisted only limited to aggression, Mikho could not leave other participants who were his responsibility.

Today they come down, if they leave this morning, tonight will be here. Hopefully there are no obstacles until they get there faster, the inner Mikho still looks moody looking down the path.

Hopefully suddenly the school sispala group appears. Sometimes the man was overjoyed to see the troupe stepping closer to their area. However, you have to be disappointed because it is not the school group. Mikho hoped that the group would leave early so that it could arrive sooner.

They're on their way home, they must be soaking wet? There is no hurry to set up a tent. How'this? The weather is very cold, hopefully they can get here soon. They can warm themselves up here. Geez what if they are cold to experience hypothermia. Oh Lord, make this rain stop immediately, inner Micho prayed.

Mikho's worries were so noticeable, that the man peeked through the tent's zipper door many times.

"Cold Mik! The wind came in" said a friend of his group.

"I'm sorry" said Mikho.

Sit down in front of the tent door. The man prayed as fervently as he could because that was all he could do. Some of the friends in the tent were frightened by the strong wind that blew through their tent. The terrified speech made Mikho even more worried to the point of bending his head with both hands. Mikho stressed, another friend immediately asked his friend to be quiet.

Towards the end of the afternoon the rain stopped, Mikho was grateful but still worried. They go back on collecting twigs for later tonight.

"It'll be cold if we don't make a bonfire."

"But the wood is wet?"

"Waiting night, hopefully it's dry."

The conversation that made Mikho even more worried. That night, though with great difficulty they finally managed to make the bonfire light up.

They should have arrived if they had left this morning. What might they take shelter until the journey is hampered, Mikho's mind is worried.

Suddenly came the group sispala and surprised all the participants in the resort. Mikho saw some of the children who had returned and immediately sprawled in the middle of their show and Celine was nowhere to be seen between them.

"We've been looking for him for hours, but still haven't found him. We are also tired and hungry. No more energy. That's why we'll be here soon" explained a member of the sispala.

"I think Celine's behind me. He asked me to go first" one sispala explained.

"You shouldn't have let him walk alone in the back!" mikho snapped annoyed while preparing his climbing gear.

"Sorry Mikho, but we're very solemn. I was still hearing his footsteps in the back" said the sispala member regretfully.

"You don't know? The mountain can deceive, we still see and hear our friend, but he has not existed since. And so was Celine's view. He thought he was following you, when he was lost" Mikho said almost in tears.

The man immediately grabbed his backpack and stepped out of the camp area. All the participants stared with anxious faces.

"Micho, please find Celine," Tiara shouted while crying as she pleased.

Mikho nodded for sure, it was already his determination. Mikho immediately stepped in a hurry. The dark night seemed like no obstacle to him. After estimating how far apart the sispala members began to notice Celine's disappearance. Mikho immediately shot towards the region Celine disappeared.
