update:Wednesday 11 December 2019

_________________________

Today is the day they are waiting for. Where the day of their departure to the forest called still virgin or still untouched by humans. They are curious to enter the Indonesian forestry located in Sumatra. They are nature lovers' children.

Haris, the indo man is the head of the troupe, which also has supernatural knowledge.

“Good sister, and friends of the seniors, we have reached the border of the village. Everyone focuses on their own path. No one is separated from the entourage, remember.” Hari began to explain.

“Good brother,” all in unison answered the speech of the head of his entourage. Except for a tall, quiet man commonly called gerry. He was the most quiet among the group. Even very rarely to just chat with his fellow nature lovers. Gerry just seemed busy fixing his shoelaces.

After notifying the ban during the forest ban, Hariis then led the journey.

“So, it looks like it will rain today, how about we start making camp?” Regina said to her senior. Indeed the sky looks cloudy, and maybe soon the rain will flutter the earth.

“OK, we'll find a more spacious place first. Our numbers are too many. To make a tent for 20 people must be in a spacious place” replied hariis.

After getting further and further into the forest, they arrived at a fairly wide plain, to set up a tent.

“Come all, start building a tent.” Andika who is also a senior.

The juniors and seniors laughed loosely after all this time walking around carrying equipment that was too heavy.

“Hore... Finally we break too.” Speak early with pleasure.

“It's din, my shoulder hurts.” Reply mela while kneading a small mijit on her shoulder.

Just in time, when all was done cleaning his tent, the rain fell heavily.

“All go inside the tent, come on.” Haris ordered his members.

A tent for 3 people.

Regina, debby and prematurely sat down while unwinding inside the tent, the three of them were indeed 1 tent.

“Din, by, do you imagine? If it turns out in this forest there is a ghost?” Regina started the conversation while waiting for the rain to subside.

“Crazy lo, in a place like this lo story is.” Debby was angry.

“Tau ih” early follow up connect.

“Ahahaha lo on, really scared anyway. If the coward comes home. Ask to be confused with mami” regina laughs wide.

“In the tent occupied by hariis and dion, they both seem busy preparing schedules for activities and trips during the forest. From the start of cooking pickets, firewood finders, look for water and wash dishes leftovers.

Husssh…

The wind blowing strong, coupled with the sound of rain water on the tent makes nature lovers choose to sleep for a moment.

“Weather is very supportive for sleep,” said jen while pulling selimuy from her backpack.

“Huu.. Basic molorr” handyman replied ivan while laughing.

“But actually also lo jen, cave follow ngantuk” connect ivan joined in blanket owned jen.

Pull the blanket and push each other.

“Lo not sleeping ger? Not good after the whole day?” Ask jen who saw gerry still sitting dreamy. Like something was planned or thought out.

“Hey... Wake up let's wake up all. Molor..” Andika woke up her junior sister while hitting the roof of the tent.

Haris has returned home with firewood he was looking for with an early who had built first.

After all out of the tent, andika explained the list of each picket. Debby, mela, vana, regina and princess are assigned cooking. Gerry, dita, anissa and Jen.. Raising water from a river not far from the camp.

“Ger, lo same dita wait here expanse yes. Kebelet cave nih.” Say Jen and run down the bucket she was carrying.

Haris started to light the fire. Because it just rained. The wood they got was a lot of damp, and hard to light.

“Kak, early twirling first yes,” said early after the fire successfully lit.

“Where's din?”

“This is here aja kok kak, want to see the atmosphere of the forest, mumpung not yet dark.”

“Don't be far.” Sahut harris while looking at the beautiful and meek woman from behind.

“What a perfect woman, already beautiful, kind, said her sap also politely”

Inner harris, who was silent put his heart on his senior sister.

Gerry, anissa and dita look bored waiting for the jen who had not appeared earlier also.

“Niss, dita, you guys go first. Let me wait for jen.” Gerry said after half an hour waiting for the jen never finished throwing away the hajat.

“OK deh,” says dita and anissa and passed leaving gerry.

Gerry walked down the creek following jen, by settling into the sump of a burrowing tub that was about to enter people's homes.

Evening arrived, all groups of nature lovers had gathered in front of the tent to eat dinner. Except early, jen and gerry. The three of them did not even have their noses.

“All eat first, let brother, andika and dion who are looking for gerry, jen also early.” Say hi to all his senior younger brothers.

“Good kak” answered all with an unsettled heart because his friend did not come home.

“Anissa, dita. Gerry and Jen you left where it was” Haris asked anissa and dita.

“On the banks of the river kak, if jen he said he was kebelet kak” replied anissa who was joined by a nod by dita.

Haris, andika and also dion. Go to the river bank,

“Jen, gerry... Where are you?

“Initial.. Where do you” Shout them alternately.

In the tent, the senior child child seemed to be eating uninspiredly,.

“Ughh...ugh..” A moaning sound is heard from behind the tent.

“There was a sound,” said regina stopped her eating.

“Iya, but..” Dita looks scared.

Trraakkk. Everything looks tense, though,

“Quiet first.. We see the same. Who knows if there are animals that jump.” Ivan's words were soothing.

Ivan, Dendy and the other guys who lived in the camp also walked very carefully approaching the tent that was hit.

“Gerry... Lo why use tent tambrak?” Tanya Ivan saw gerry sitting limp on the ground.

“Hm... What's wrong, tired of twirling twirling nyari jen, but don't see also.” Gerry said with his geeky face.

“Boom why? Do you have blood? He also questioned the gerry who was now walking to the front of the tent with a stagger.

“Ah.. uh.. Here, just now, I fell, then my stomach was scratched by wood.” Gerry answered with a nervous face.

“Gerry, yes.. Early.” Dion was unrelenting, and andika shouted calling her senior sister. Haris seemed to have no taste for shouting, he preferred to focus on staring at all corners of the field. Looking for the whereabouts of the woman he admires, early.

“please, huuhhukk huuhuuk..” Their steps are stopped by the voice of someone, the voice of a woman. Well women.

“Dini.. Premature.. Where are you early?” Shouted harris who knew for sure that it was a beautiful voice belonging to early.

“Harr, brother.. This cave nemuin early” shouted dion from under a big tree. Haris and Andika ran over to Dion.

Under a rather large tree, a beautiful and weak girl curled up to her feet, she was early.

Haris then raised an early body that was trembling from fear. They did not ask, and returned to the camp.

“You why was scared so early?” Haris tried asking at an early age who still looked shivering.

“Kak, earlier.. Earlier.. I'm being chased, someone's chasing me.” Irregular early speech.

“Who? You see his face?”

“No, in-she, she was wearing a black robe, and, and her head was covered.”

“OK, now you calm yourself first, regina, take early to the tent.” Andika's orders to regina.

All eyes seem to be staring at the early hija, except for gerry. Gerry stared early with a cynical and hateful look. No one saw gerry's eyes.

The group is divided into two parts. Ten people stayed in the tent, and ten more. Assigned to find jen. Haris can be part fined, as a senior, he also has to guard the entourage who lives in the tent.

While dion and Andika, split the two groups again to find jen.

Dion, alvian, ivan, hansen and reena, a group led by Dion himself went south.

While to the northern araj, there are andika, dennis, gerry, princess and vana the tomboyish girl.

The night had changed at dawn, but their search had not yet resulted.

At the camp, haris lucy and dita saw a gelisa waiting for the return of his friend.

“Who was the person in question earlier? Is there really anyone besides us in this place?” His heart kept asking. Haris feels guilty for not being able to protect his entourage. Moreover, the woman he admired was also terrorized by unknown people.

“Dita, lucy. You two just sleep. Let brother wait for friend friend who is looking for jen.” He said to his two senior brothers.

“Gak ah sis, lucy wants to be here alone nemani brother. Lucy is also not sleepy.” Answer lucy while adding wood to a bonfire.

“Aahhhggg..”.

There were shouts from the tent belonging to early and regina. Haris ran towards the tent.

“Regina... Early why? Ask her from behind the closed tent from inside.

Regina opened the tent and harris immediately rushed in calming the early who was screaming hysterically while holding her head.

“Sorry brother, early dream. Early dream chased after the person again” replied early with lips shaking in fear.

Haris stroked his head early, he had to feel like he could see the woman of his dreams was scared like that.

“Kak, early want to sit outside, early do not want to sleep. Afraid of dreams again, said early with a pleading face.

“Ya let's go out, all waiting for friends who have not returned to find jen”

“Jen haven't met kak?”

“But” replied hariis with a sorry face.

In the woods, Dion's party is still searching for Jen's whereabouts. They look very tired after a few hours looking for a gene that never met.

“Hansen, we should just go home, it is easy andika's entourage has found jen.” Said dion to hansen.

“We follow the word lo aja ion” replied hansen who is the same age as dion.

Dion's party turned towards the camp tent.

In the northern part of the forest, it seems that Andika has also felt tired with the search that is still nil.

“kak, brother andika, here, look at this sister,” said the frightened princess while pointing something in front of her eyes.

Andika and the others also ran towards where the princess stood.

Andika felt something on the grass that was only knee high.

“Blood, this is blood.”

Said Andika after confirming what the princess found.

“Is it possible for jen to eat wild animals?” Ivan asked as he glanced at alvian.

“Don't just ever tri, maybe it's blood, blood animals that have run out of fights like that.” Another soothing alvian.

“But why is the blood only here? No clue where this blood went.” Said andika while thinking of something.

The group brought by Dion had arrived at the tent, harris, early, dita and the others immediately ran up to them.

“Where's ion? Jen have you met? Ask haris expectantly.

Dion just shook his head in response that they didn't find any trace of Jen.

“Is it possible that the word regina said this afternoon was true?” Early speech is almost inaudible. But lucy who was beside him heard that early remark.

“What's din? What does regina say?” Lucy asked with a tense face.

“Eh, no. This afternoon when it was raining we were talking in the tent. Regina called the devil gitu” early reply between sure and doubt.

“No one thinks so first, we must think positively first. It's possible that jen got lost” replied hariis who he himself was not sure of his words.

Not how long, andika's entourage also arrived at the camp. Haris tried to count them in the dark of the night. And he was disappointed, because the one who came home was still four people, and there was no jen there.

“What? Four people?” Haris was surprised and immediately stood up.

“Where's alvian?” Ask the harris who did not see the alvian in the newly arrived andika troupe.

Andika and the others were busy looking for the alvian that meant haris. Right. Alvian's missing.

“Aaakkkhhh” hariis screaming hysterically knowing her senior sister is missing one more.

“Let's all gather first, line, quickly quickly quickly quickly..” Haris can not hide his anger.

All groups gathered and arranged a line in front of the tent.

“Who's name is called, answer ‘ada’ and immediately switch places to my side.” Harris.

“Ya brother.”

Haris also began to call one by one the names of members of his entourage.

“Dion”

“Ada” replied dion and moved to the side of harris.

“Andika”

“Ada” Andika also moved to next to hariis.

“Reena”

“Hansen”

“Ivan”

“Alvian,”

the one who was called did not answer, he was silent when he called out the name alvian, and there was no answer.

“Regina”

“Dini”

“Putri”

“Dita”

“Anissa”

“Vana”

“Debby”

“Mela”

“Ivan”

“Dennis”

“Lucy”

After being answered there, harris then said “Jen, obviously already lost.”

“Gerry” when calling gerry's name, all stunned, no one standing where they lined up earlier.

“Gerry.. Where's gerry?”

Haris looked increasingly confused, the two people who were missing. Now, gerry's gone too.

Everyone looked at each other and asked where Gerry was.

“Gerry... Where are you?” Shouted harris hoping that gerry answered his call.

And sure enough, gerry came from the back of the tent while running a small run towards the harris that seemed to stand with a tense face.

“Ma sorry brother, I, I just peed. I went from the line without permission big brother” said gerry at length after arriving beside the harris.

“Gerry... You know that, right? We lost two friends. So if you want to go where, ask permission first. So as not to add to the mind.” Saying to gerry.

“Good brother, I'm sorry brother.” Answer gerri.

“Already, there join the others”

Haris tells Gerry to leave in front of him. Haris wanted to think for himself about how upset he was as a group leader.

Gerry walked towards the princess' seat, gerry glanced at the early who happened to be watching the gerrys movements.

Stared at early with a sharp look like a threat, the early who was stared at like that looked down like a frightened person
