Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 29: Hiking

"Zanu!"

Someone called me from outside the tent. L'm out. It turns out that came Sis Resa Sama Prita.

"Good Morning Brother, Prita," I said with a smile.

"Well! I can walk already. Fortunately, it was quickly dealt with the wound yes," said Kak Resa.

"Yes Brother, thank God the pain is starting to diminish,"

"This is Zanu breakfast for you. We've had breakfast,"

Sister Resa gave me a plastic bag containing rice wrap plus oranges.

"Thank you, brother. Let's go in and have a little chat," ask me.

Prita and Sis Resa nodded and followed me into the tent. The door of my tent was wide open, so that the sunlight and fresh air could enter.

I opened the rice and started eating.

"Zanu, how was last night? Aman, are you here? Where's the chief sleeping?" ask Prita.

"The chief slept outside Prita's tent, I slept here alone" I replied.

"Zanu, it's likely that you'll be kicked out who took your clothes. But this is still a secret, we-we know," said Kak Resa seriously.

I'm shocked. Shocked not because of the info, but surprised why Kak Resa know ya? Is Kak Resa part of Bram's members? It feels impossible, because Sister Resa is female.

Or maybe Kak Resa was assigned to spy on students here?

"Is this serious, brother? It could be just a prankster" I replied.

"real Zanu. But here is not the fad we discussed, but the person must have a certain purpose. Wants to embarrass you. The chairman does not accept, Eh.." said Kak Resa a little bit of a crime.

Do you know where Resa came from if Bram didn't accept it? It could be that my guess is correct that Kak Resa is part of Bram.

I see Sis Resa starting to get a little agitated.

"But it was actually Zanu's own fault Brother, for not being careful. You should not look for these clothes and stay away from the river. Maybe because of panic, Zanu forgot," I said quickly to cover up Kak Resa's anxiety.

"But Zanu, it is precisely if the person with evil intentions fails to do the action, he will repeat again. Could be more dangerous, right? So the Chairman investigated first what the motive was," tangkis Kak Resa.

"Chairman is too much according to Zanu Kak. There is much more to be done on this matter" I replied.

"Zanu. It's not a matter of paying too much attention to you, but also to keep his good name as the Chairman of BEM. Because this includes his responsibility. In the past, the old Chairman of BEM, once the incident of students lost and possessed. Our chief doesn't want that to happen again. Do you set him up how? Especially Zanu himself who experienced,"

I shut up and thought, it's true what Sis Resa said. Not just about me but his reputation as Chairman.

"Zanu, you're quiet enough, let the Chairman take care of you. We-we are also worried that there are indeed ignorant people here. But we just came, right" said Prita.

I'm nodding.

"Oiya, what other activities are you doing today?" my many.

"We're hiking down the river. For antipasi, every senior is equipped with a whistle. With the incident yesterday, we have to be even more strict to keep an eye on all the students who participate in the camp here. The job of the Chairman is getting heavier. It could be that the Chairman changed the shcedule of his activities, but we have no substitute reserves," explained Kak Resa.

"Zanu can come along no, brother? It seems like Zanu's legs have started to heal and can walk," I asked as I continued to chew rice.

"It will definitely not be allowed Chairman Zanu, believe me," said Prita.

Sister Resa nodded.

I finally finished eating. It's good to have breakfast, because I only ate bread last night.

Sis Resa and Prita permission to get ready for hiking today. I agreed and they went right out of the tent.

I am alone in this tent.

I'm confused, if everyone goes hiking, who do I live with? Hix... Fates...

********

There was a faint sound of Bram outside giving instructions and directions for hiking to all students and seniors.

I listened until it was over. Maybe Bram is hiking too. I hope someone stays at this camp. So I won't be alone.

"Zanu, what are you doing inside?"

Suddenly Bram's voice called out to me from outside the tent door.

"Let's relax, Chairman," I replied.

"I'm in, yeah,"

Bram immediately entered the tent and still he opened the door wide. So that other people don't think between me and Bram.

I'm happy to see how, because so far he still appreciates and takes care of me.

"Zanu, I'm going hiking. So you have to stay here while waiting for the medical to come. Later there will be some seniors who stay to guard at this campground. It's okay you I'm staying?" bram.

"I can come with Brother? My legs have healed, already can walk you know..," I replied with a clear face.

"Zanu.., even if your feet feel healed, it's not a way to walk. Recovery takes time. This part is hiking, so you have to walk far, especially the terrain is difficult. Never mind.., you better be here, okay,"

I just nodded but with a manyun expression.

"Please, everything is going well. Out of hiking, I promise to come straight here" said Bram, winking his eyes.

"start again. Be done! Go there, it'll be late..,"

"Ready!" canda Bram while swinging her hands over her head.

Bram is even joking back. I who was a manyun, even so laugh seeing Bram's behavior. He also laughed.

"Bye Zanu,"

Bram out the tent. He walked towards the group that was getting ready. And slowly Bram left until it disappeared from my sight.

Time passed.

*******

Crickets.. Crickets.. Crickets..

I let out a faint sound that rattled. Suddenly I smelled something bad. Plus I feel like I'm starting to feel tight in my throat.

I opened my eyes and how shocked I was, smoke was everywhere. It looks like a big fire is engulfing the tent.

I was stunned for a second, as if there was something I wanted to think about.

Not wearing it for long, I gasped and just realized it.

I'd like to pull my backpack and Bram's backpack out again. I shouted for help. I tried to run out even though it was not too tight because of the condition of my feet that could not be driven to run.

"Please! Help u! Help u! The fire!" hysterical shouting.

Finally I was able to get out safely, even though the fire had engulfed the tent was almost finished.

My breath gasping. I was in shock and suddenly my tears were dripping. Yup! I wept.

Fortunately the senior guarding directly approached while carrying water to flush the tent that was still burning.

It may take a long time for seniors to take water because access to the river is a little difficult.

Finally the fire went out. All dumbly watched the tent that was already charred and no longer shaped.

Fortunately from a distance I saw Bram running as fast as he could. He came straight over and hugged me.

"Are you okay, Zanu? Is there any injury? Did someone burn Zanu?" asked Bram with a worried tone.

Bram looked panicked, he looked at my entire side, afraid that something was burning. Then he hugged me back. Bram did not care about the presence of some seniors here.

"Relax Zanu, I'm here,"

Bram whispers gently in my ears. I was still crying but my heart immediately felt calm when Bram was near me.

"Tio, please all the students are directed to another place. Don't let anyone get close to this tent. You and other members give light activities for a while and after that tell them to rest in their tents. I will contact the authorities to investigate this incident" Bram told a senior who was near the tent.

"Okay Chairman" replied the senior.

Senior named Tio immediately ran onto the field towards the other side. Fortunately, there the student had just come from hiking. So, chances are no one knows what really happened.

I saw Bram calling someone.

"Sir Jack, please bring the car to my tent and bring Zanuku from here" Bram said.

"Ready Boss!"

I heard someone's voice on the phone. Bram turned off his phone.

"Zanu, soon you will be picked up by Mr. Jack, whose house we came to for you to take a shower this morning. While you stay there until tomorrow. Because tomorrow this camp is over. In that house there is a wife and son Mr. Jack, so you don't worry" Bram assures me.

I just nodded slowly. I didn't realize Bram was still hugging me. In a situation like this whether I'm happy because I'm hugged Bram or sad because I'm afraid something will happen again.

"I'll take care of all this, can't be left anymore. Later at Jack's house, I'll put my men. So you don't be afraid,"

"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm so troublesome," I said still in a state of shock.

"Here you go. Now you have to calm down. Don't be sad anymore. There's nothing incriminating or troublesome for me Zanu. I won't let anyone hurt you. Now can I see you smiling?" pinta Bram's.

I tried to smile, so Bram would calm down. Kasian I saw Bram face a situation like this.

"Well, if you look at that, I'll be excited. My battery is full, let alone seeing a pretty girl like you" Bram said.

He started teasing me again. My reflexes pinch her waist. Instead of feeling sick, Bram laughed.

It's weird!! Does he like me so much, he feels no pain? Even laugh.

Not like that Zanu's concept! Bram is trying to calm you down! Sickness is not a problem. It is not called like anymore but love.

Zanu! How long are you gonna be in Bram's arms? After dong, you are not muhrim, sin know!

My reflexes are trying to get away from Bram's arms.

"Sister, peeling! Shame to see people. I don't want people to think I'm a girl" I said firmly to Bram.

"Yes Zanu, sorry,"

Bram immediately let go of his hand, but still approached me.

Not long before Bram's car came. The car stopped and out Jack sir, which Bram meant. He walked over to Bram.

"Siang Chairman. It's all ready, just take non Zanu to my place," said Mr. Jack.

"Okay Sir. Please don't forget to call line 357. It's emergency! I want to know who's behind all this before the police investigation begins" Bram said.

"Ready Chairman,"

I feel like I'm in a mafia movie. What kind of rada-rada is that..? Don't tell me Bram is the boss of the Mafia!?

"Zanu, you're coming with Jack sir. InshaAllah I'll pick you up there tonight" said Bram.

"Why are you doing nights? If I go to a strange place, I'm ogah! Mending me home!" I'm a little suspicious.

"You believe me, don't you Zanu? I can't tell you because it's a surprise, okay" Bram replied.

I'm just a manut-manut.

"Let's Non-Zanu, come with me," said Mr. Jack politely.

I'm following Jack to Bram's car.

"Bye Zanu" said Bram.

Jack and I are going from there. Bram was still standing looking at the car missing from his sight.
