After going through various obstacles is also drama. Soon we will reach the top of the mountain. Raka stay behind me, keep watch if I slip or fall.
While passing through a slightly rocky road is also slippery, from behind I heard like someone had fallen. And right, when I look back. At that moment my eyes saw Raka slipping and falling down.
Of course I panicked. Until - until I yell calling her name "RAKA!" Without a second thought, I came back down in a hurry. Just to make sure that he's, okay.
Then I asked him a stupid question. Which I shouldn't have asked at the time.
"Aren't you papa? anything abrasive?"
"i'm not papa, but my legs seem to be chafing"
My eyes were immediately fixed on the scratches that continued to bleed.
"we're going down yuk!" ask me to worry
"why? we'll be here any minute"
"you why the hell? it's hard to tell"
He smiled and stood on one leg.
"See. I'm fine - all right"
My gaze continued to be fixed on the scratches that continued to bleed. And now, drop by drop, his blood is beginning to fall to the ground, of course I know that his condition is not good - but he is forcing.
"if you want to continue, your feet let me treat you first. At least in the bandage first so that the blood does not continue to drip"
He's agreed. Then armed with the P3K box I brought, I wrapped the wound with a bandage.
...
Finally the long, tiring journey paid off when we all reached the top of the mountain. The fatigue we felt before him paid off with the natural beauty in the treats.
For a while I was fascinated by the beautiful view from the top of the mountain. Until I finally realized I had to branch the tent for the night.
I saw Asep who was busy assembling the tent by himself, and I offered to help him, even though what I did was just rummage and keep asking Asep. Luckily, Asep was a patient person, so he didn't mind if I kept asking.
On the other hand there is Raka who is busy looking for wood to make a campfire. Raka walked on only one leg, and that was what caused her to have to jump - jump like a kangaroo.
I kept watching Raka feel sorry for her. And after finishing threshing the tent, I approached Raka who was alone was busy looking for wood alone.
Raka smiled, as she saw myself helping her gather wood. I realized it but I was reluctant to ask her why she was as comfortable - smiling to herself, as I was still a little annoyed at her.
By nightfall we all enjoyed the twilight from the top of the mountain. Really, it was the most beautiful moment of my life. The twilight light gradually disappeared, replaced with a dark lagit decorated with stars.
...
Asep was busy making fire, while I was busy preparing food to be cooked. Dinner that day was roasted sausage and cereal, because honestly the supplies we brought were very limited.
I saw Raka who was sitting on the ground was daydreaming while looking at the night sky. I approached him, and I told him the food was ripe.
"Raka.the food is ripe" I said.
he looked back for a moment and looked at the sky. I who was curious accompanied him looked at the sky.
"what's with Raka's night sky?" much
"if you don't want to tell, it doesn't matter. But at least tell me why you brought me here"
"it's because of your mother"
Hearing that, I asked again with a serious look.
"the mother told you to?" ask me for wonder
"yes"
"why? explain it to me"
"your mother told me. That for the last 3 months you do not have time to have fun because you are busy preparing yourself to participate in the race. He also said that you never want to hangout with your friends because nothing fits"
I could only quietly hear that and then Raka went on with her story.
"Actually he is only worried if later you do not know the outside world. Therefore I invite you here so that you know that the earth is wide not only fixated on the environment you live in"
"mom's known you for a long time?"
"actually I have known your mother for almost 2 years, but during that time I have never met the figure of a woman named Amel who is always told about her"
"and now what's his figure?"
"it turns out the Amel I imagined with whom I met was very much different. Amel in my shadow is a quiet and anti-social girl, but the reality is not so. The real Amel is a very responsible woman and what surprised me was that she had beautiful eyes like the moon shining tonight, so beautiful"
After that he looked at me with a deep look. I did not return his gaze which I thought at that moment was why did God send him to me?
Raka stood up then while looking straight ahead she told me
"actually life doesn't have to always chase numbers and targets. There is no harm if we occasionally enjoy the beauty of the universe"
Then Raka looked back at me
"Mel.Every once in a while try to get out of your comfort zone. Trying something new, that new challenge never hurts"
I could only keep quiet and justify everything she said.
"Thank you" I said
"you don't have to thank me if it wasn't for your mother's story. Maybe now you're not here, sitting on the ground and away from home"
Raka's words were all right, all this time I never gave myself a chance to rest, all I cared about were targets and targets.
....
The next morning we all came back down from the top of the mountain, leaving behind all the events that happened last night.
I walked behind Raka, looking at her who was now able to walk on both legs, though a little limp.
However, seeing that he was able to walk again using both feet. Like there is happiness for me, I don't know what makes me happy. But the point is I feel happy.
In my heart, I ask God for a request so that he can always be beside me when I like or suffer.
