"Don't joke, dong. Please! Not funny!" I screamed in the middle of crying. But still no one is afraid. The roar was still heard in the forest. Even a few shrubs and small trees twitched violently. It looks like the animal is fighting. Either fighting over the territory, either scrambling for food. His voice was like some animal attacking each other. How horrifying.
I could only shout as loud as the two animals that turned out to be tigers were chasing each other ran towards me. Both hands clasped my body tightly from behind, just as the tiger was about to crash into my body.
"Hey, Mimu's okay, right? Why cry as much as gini?"
I quickly turned around and returned his embrace. "Where are you going? I fear. Why am I left alone?"
My man framed this face and wiped the tears that broke on both cheeks. "Hey, who killed Mimu. Nonexistent. I was here with Mimu. Relax, yeah. Mimu's just a nightmare." The pull of this head was soft and immersed into his chest.
I pulled my head from his arms. Look around. We are still in the tent. That means it was just a nightmare. I let out a sigh of relief, then hugged her back tightly. I feel him giving me a soft kiss on this forehead.

The next morning after breakfast, we were all invited to explore the forest. Enjoy the panorama of the cool forest with a variety of trees and wild animals. There are many butterflies and various birds that fly and chirp melodiously.
After passing through a rather sloping terrain, we now pass a slightly uphill road to reach the waterfall. Accompanied by the driver of course. My husband's hand didn't take a second to break. He said he was afraid of me for what. He didn't even care though many were mocking.
My sweat that flooded his forehead rubbed him using his sleeves. I did the same thing. The sweat that soaked his forehead and cheeks I wipe.
"A number, yes, right, still counted newlyweds," said Mr. Broto, "Ma, Papa also you dong dap so," he added.
"Yes, here's Mama lap," replied Mrs Broto, "You guys brought kanebo, didn't you?" continued. Everyone is laughing too. Mr. Broto pouted for a while before finally embracing his wife's shoulder and continued walking.
*****
Arriving at the waterfall, everyone cheered happily. Amazed by the panoramic beauty of the waterfall that dangles beautifully. The air is very cold. The water is very soothing. Some directly throw themselves under the flow of the waterfall. Some choose to take pictures.
Me and Miku chose to wash their face, hands and feet. Next just sit side by side on the rock that is on the edge of the times, enjoying the gurgling of flowing water. I put my head on the side of his shoulder.
"Beautiful, yes, the place."
"For me, this place is beautiful because you are by my side. Without you here, all this beauty is meaningless to me" she said. Success made me give my lips a flattering feeling.
"Kheeem!" Ulfa and Salim suddenly cleared their throat behind us. They were triumphant after success surprised us. Then ran away and stuck out his tongue.
"Sirik aja kelen!" yelled Bocil.
Ulfa and Salim slipped on the mossy rock, and both fell. Now it's me and the boy who's laughing. Ulfa pouted as her clothes became soaked.
"Die besti, karma is sometimes instant!" I shouted, then tos with the Bocil. Ulfa frowns and grumbles. In the end my husband and I also took a bath because they were encouraged by the others.
After being satisfied to play water and take pictures, everyone returned to the camp. Gotong royong cooks and makes more coffee. Then rest. Later that night we enjoyed the campfire again while playing guesswork, the loser got the punishment of having to sing, dance, bounce or poetry.
I was made to gape when the Bocil answered wrongly and he was sentenced to dance by Mr. Broto. No other choice, my husband managed to live out his sentence perfectly. I really didn't expect that he wasn't just good at playing instruments and singing. It turned out that her dance moves were stunning as well. He even got a standing applaus from everyone. But not with me. I flinch and become more fascinated with him.
*****
"I still can't believe you can dance too?" I said as we were on our way home from camp. When on the bus.
"I told you, didn't I? I was all-round. It's the only one I can't do" he said. The look we met. He then brought his face closer to the side of this ear, "One thing I can't do is stay away from you"." he whispered, and continued to kiss this cheek.
"Khem! Khem!" The Mail and the Imam were sitting on the bench next to the chortle. We both spontaneously turned towards them.
"Girl me!" my husband said and even more so. He pulled my head gently into his arms. Mail and Imam threw their faces out the window. We were full of victory.
"Sik's father?" Ulfa who sat on the bench in front of me and Bocil peeked her head poking past the back of the chair.
"Argh! You two fuckin' shit!" umpat Ulfa later found me and my husband in a position to hug each other, "Basar bucin!" continue while returning to the original position.
"Belvin. Bucin same couple halal mah, legal only. Wleeew!" sahutku.

It's a Sunday. The day I agreed to reunite with my two best friends in High School. After all these years we have not met. Now we have a chance to meet again. Just a few days ago we met briefly. Exactly when I came home from camping yesterday. Accidentally meeting Nia at a restaurant, we talked for a while. Then plan this meeting. We exchanged contact numbers, and Nia also agreed to take my best friend, Arum.
"Are you ready?" asked Miku as I just walked out of the room. I answered with a nod.
"Rapid and fragrant. Really you're all girls? There's no guy, is there?" later scabbard. It made me give my lips a cranky look with his expression.
"Why? Jealousy?" todong.
He nodded honestly. "Well, no time?"
I framed his purple face. "Both of my best friends are girls. Her name is Nia and Arum. They were both best for me in High School. After graduating we lost contacts, and just want to see you again now," explained me for the last time. He nodded while muttering a sign of understanding.
"I'm anterine, yes," she asked with a hopeful face.
"Loh, he said Miku also want to hangout the same motorcycle boy? Is it not?"
"So anyway, but no papa nganterin wife love first. Instead of Mimu riding an ojek, right, fearing his handsome ojek kang kept Mimu fascinated. I'm not willing!"
"Not more, but love and fear of loss" he replied.
"Yes, Miku can anterin me." He was ready and put a helmet on my head. Don't forget he wrapped my hand around his waist.
*****
Arriving at the cafe, Nia was waiting. I came closer and greeted him. My man came inside to make sure I got there safely. After arguing with Nia, Miku immediately said goodbye.
"When you go home chat or call. I picked it up," he said as he kissed my left and right cheeks. I can only obey. Last time he kissed my forehead, then completely left.
"Well, where's Arum?" ask me after Miku.
"hasn't arrived. He said he was still otw. Let's just wait." I'm nodding.
"Btw, you since we were separated still keep communication the same Arum?" I was wondering, "It's just me, who's lost contacts with you two?"
"No, I've also only recently met Arum. Previously broken contact with him too. So, yesterday it was not accidentally met him when there was an event like that," explained Nia. I'm nodding.
"Eh, I swear, I didn't really expect that we could finally meet again kek gini. I hope after this we can continue together. Friendship again in High School."
I nodded in agreement. "Yes, I hope so too."
"Hi, Gais!" greet someone who has just arrived. His voice sounded familiar. I looked back, and it was Arum. I quickly stood up and hugged Arum. Ask each other the news, then sit down and tell about many things accompanied by coffee and snacks.
"Yes, btw, when I left here earlier, I met a guy. He looks young, but his behavior is very mature. He really broke down my car. Very cute and unyu, anyway. Gemesin gituuu," Arum's story. Suddenly remember and miss the same Bocil. Wait a minute, what, the guy who was told by Arum his criteria was so similar, huh, same Bocil? Just wanted to ask more questions about the man told, Arum got a call from his employees. Then we changed the subject.
*****
Three hours was still lacking for the three of us to talk and shed longs. Start discussing the former, work and life now, even discuss about the price of everything. Also discuss about cooking oil whose price skyrocketed. Feels very exciting.
Arum offers a ride. He said you want to know where my shack is. I accepted his offer and told my husband about it.
[Yes, if indeed Mimu would be ushered the same. I'll tell you later, when I get home first.]
[OKAY. See you at my husband's house.] Don't forget I put up some heart stickers. He replied to send a distant kiss sticker.
"But we have to cross first. But it didn't get to the parking lot. So, I parked it across the street there," Arum pointed.
"Yes, not papa. We'll just cross," I reply. Nia also agreed. The three of us crossed the street.
Just as the three of us were about to get across, there was a horde of motorized youths teasing us with pretending to be about to crash. Because of panic I fell and the forehead and corners of my lips blisters hit the pavement. Instead of helping, the group of young men who I thought were motorcycle gangs even laughed. However, I'm sure it's not Bocil's motorcycle gang. Nia and Arum cursing, but the teenager still passed.
"Woi, apologize to you!" yelled Nia once more. The young man drove his bike even faster, then disappeared in the corner.
"Udahlah, free. I'm not papa anyway. Just this small wound," I said as I rubbed the corner of the lip that was spitting out a little blood.
"Yes, we're going to my car. There's a P3K box. We'll take your wounds there," Arum asked.
"Are you sure you don't want me to call the doctor?" arum asked again after treating my wound in his car.
"Gosh, Rum. No need. Just this doang scuff. Huh, mending now we go home."
Arum and Nia looked at each other for a moment. "You sure?" nia Cecar.
I took a long breath. "Related. I'm fine!"
"Okay, if that's it." Arum finally drove his car as well.
Until the house, Arum just stopped in front of the fence. He couldn't stop by. Because there is work to do. Understandably, he is now a busy man. While Nia also participated, quite capable there is a free cane, he said.
"Next time we're here again. Most importantly, now you know your home. It's easy," said Nia.
"okay, deh. Titi DJ, yeah."
"For sure," replied Arum. The wave of hands became the final of our meeting. After Arum's car disappeared down the street, I just got into the house. I heard my husband's motorbike parked on the terrace. Seconds later he said hello.
"www!" my groan as he kissed my forehead right at the scuffed part.
"Eh, why is this?" tanyanya panic. I had to explain everything in detail.
"Well, this can't be ignored. That motorcycle boy should be taught a lesson" he said full of emotion.
"No need to be weird, anyways this is just a small wound. Just a scuff doang. It's also the same as Arum."
"Cannot. I don't accept you being told," he said insisting.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket. Calling his motorcycle gang. "Children's cough in ordinary places. We have a mission!"
