30. The traitor

"It's time to eat together. Please bring your own supplies. We will eat here, Brian prepare the oil paper," said Space, eating together this time must be orderly and not noisy.

Rinai took his provisions, he wanted to see what menu Aurel had cooked. Yellow rice, tempe tofu with spicy seasoning, do not forget botok'an¹ which if purchased costs only 2 thousand. Aurel made his own botok'an. If Jakarta is difficult to find.

"Time to eat good Rin, hopefully to all parts yes,"

Everything gathered on the floor in a row, Brian's oil paper shared. After everything is done, he guides his prayer.

"Before you eat, please pray first. Praying begins,"

Stomach hungry and want to eat soon finally can now eat. Brian instructed that their supplies should be spilled on the oil paper. "Same rice side dishes in the flat yes, if you eat do not talk,"

Rinai shares her side dishes with Caca and Tia.

Caca frowning, eating tempeh? No, he is a classy child it is impossible to eat the lower class, not equal to him. "Don't want to, you know," Caca gave Tia tempeh. The girl just receives, the side dish has been a lot ranging from instant noodles, satay, and roasted chicken.

Tia started trying. "Em, geez, that's bad. Rinai, how many cabins is this?" Tia gulped the water down.

"Don't know, mam-mother who cooked," almost Rinai said 'mama' they would think Rinai a child from among the people.

"Be careful when you have a stomachache," instead of Tia stopping eating this delicious tempeh she asked Rinai again. Adel who saw the friendly interaction Tia was happy, melted because of tempe?

Rinai gave her two spicy tempeh, had finished the spicy side dish in the greedy Tia. Until Tia switched eating positions next to Rinai. Tia was curious about the package of banana leaves that had not been opened. "This is what Rin? I think it's good, can I not open it?" Tia grabbed the botok'an.

"May, if it can be exhausted yes," of course Rinai is happy, he is allergic to cassava leaves.

Tia accepted it with pleasure. Caca was astonished, Tia changed well because of tempe? And food like these leaves?

Tia looked over feeling noticed by Caca. "Want? It's delicious,"

Caca shook his head, it's not a vegetable. "Gee, I don't think it's good,"

Space is approaching Rinai. "In the end, yes, there should not be a grain of rice left," the eyes of Space can not be separated from Rinai who devoured the yellow rice until Rinai's cheeks bulged funny.

Rinai glanced at the source of the sound, Space behind her deserves a buluna bediri, goosebumps with the presence of a creature. Not a ghost, but Rinai's habit of goosebumps makes him know if the one who approached him was a man.

"No mode, go!" push Rinai flick his left hand, should be just right hand on the sidelines of his finger there is some yellow rice, let the face of Space about yellow rice.

Space away, Rinai if angry can be dangerous like a bull. "Yes, that's angry. If it has run out of oil paper in the trash, do not be careless," Space away, he must negotiate what material during the night with Brian, Agung and Rafi.

Tia burps. "Finally not a laper anymore, Rinai sometime if to school bring provisions yes. Just like the leaves are peppered there are small pete, do not forget the spicy tempe,"

Caca nudged Tia. "Eh, what are you possessed of? How good is it with Rinai?" caca asked in a dislike tone.

"Taste it good ca, lose it if you don't try it for life,"

Space again instructed that it was time to pray maghrib. "You brought prayer equipment?"

"Bring brother," they answered in unison.

Looking Cica? He does not like scouts, for him will increasingly make his white skin blackened.

"Take to each other's tent, where the wudhunya in the west,"

When he took the prayer equipment, Caca, Salma and Dinda just sat sweetly in the long chair while gossiping. The tia? Since the incident tried tempe from his best friend Rinai also participated in prayer, even wudhunya was with Rinai.

"Enakan emang, now the Rinai gang is increasing by one personnel," Caca stared cynically Tia who actually laughed and played water with Rinai.

"Sabar ca, it looks like Tia is a traitor, deh" said Salma to draw conclusions, then when Tia passed him did not say hello at all.

Space finds Caca and his friends sitting back and gossiping. If it is time for the arrival of guests it is impossible to be at the same time as that. Space suspects that Caca does not carry prayer equipment or is lazy.

Space is approaching Caca. Being stared at by Space made Caca nervous. "What's up, brother?" caca tried to be ordinary.

"Why not pray? What reason?" space questions make Caca like in a direct stab. Fortunately, he knows the quotes on Instagram.

"Look, we've been friends for a long time from Junior High. So, until anything is with sister. I think right now, the Space Brother knows,"

Space shakes, old friendship makes togetherness tied up strongly? Just be right.

"I do not believe, please take ablution and borrow mukena," for Caca maybe Space is a dream criterion, remind worship and should not be denied. May Space be my soul mate, he thought.

"For his bonfire will be rained right now. Brian, the wood's gathering in the middle. Later Rafi who doused his wood with gas,"

After the fire rises, the warmth begins to spread.

"Let's sing Hymne Scout or Satya Darma Scout Indonesia,"

"Singing around the campfire" Brian added.

Increasingly crowded, Rafi lights fireworks. Until the residents began to come to see the beauty of fireworks.
