There Is Him Among Us

Go Camping

You will not be able to get out of this forest!

As soon as Airin woke up, his breath was puffed up by the nightmare. He rubbed his sweaty temple. The nightmare was real.

"Why do I feel so bad? May it all be a dream." Airin was now staring at the wall clock that showed at 3 a.m. He can't sleep anymore. He now picks up his phone and reads a chat from Revan last night that he hasn't had time to reply to due to falling asleep.

"Revan.." he muttered softly with a small smile.

Then he switched to Azka number. The last chat from Azka containing the apology is still there. He's unblocking it now. Yes, the problem is over, it's time he made peace with the circumstances. He saw Azka's profile picture, no photos of anything. Only the background is black.

"Pity Azka, I should have forgiven her a long time ago." Then Airin got out of his bed and sat down by his study table.

On his desk is a picture of him with Della, Melodi, and Azka. "I miss we're kayaking again."

...***...

"Airin, remember Dad's message. Be careful there. Don't walk alone in the woods. If there's anything, call Daddy or Mommy" Alvin said after stopping his car in front of Airin's school. There are five buses lined up.

"Yes Dad" replied Airin, kissing the back of his father's hand.

"Take care of yourself, baby. Helped bring the stuff?" Rili kissed both cheeks of her daughter.

"No need, Bun. There's Melody and Siska." Then Airin got out of the car while carrying his large backpack. In one hand was a totebag containing instant food of his and his two friends.

Airin searches for Melody and Siska, but has yet to find her. He walked to bus B for his class. Only a few steps to the strap of his totebag bag loose to make instant food such as pop noodles, and others scattered on the ground.

"Know that just bring cardboard all over. It's the same Melody Siska went anywhere else. They should have brought food. This much nitip, I'm not waiting for." Airin picked up his things while mouthing.

One hand now helped her pick up the instant food and put it in a plastic bag.

Airin looked at him. "Azka, thank you."

"Here I bring your bag. It must be heavy" Azka said as she carried the Airin backpack that was placed below.

"Eh, hmm, don't let me."

But Azka took her to her class bus and put her Airin and her belongings in the trunk.

Seen Revan was standing near the door while registering the presence of camping participants on bus B.

Airin now carries only her small bag and approaches Revan. "The air is present."

Revan smiled as he put a tick near Airin's name. "On the row seat number five yes. I marked it" whispered Revan as Airin got on the bus.

Airin just smiled with blushing cheeks. Then he looked at Melodi and Siska who were already sitting the henchmen on the seat of the number 4 row. "You guys find it's here. Don't help me bring food, until it falls on the road."

"Geez Airin, I'm sorry I forgot. We were quick to find a seat so we wouldn't be in the back."

Airin now sits in the chair behind Melodi and Siska. More precisely the name tag Revan and Airin.

"Udah marked his chair. Airin, Revan, no one can find it" Siska said with a laugh.

"Not just a marked seat. There was also drink and food. Special right? We who are single can only be left."

Airin sat by the window smiling. He does feel very special. Not yet gone his heart was made flowery by Revan.

I think Revan left early in the morning. He was diligent.

A few minutes later, their bus left. Revan now rests his back and one hand holds Airin's hand. "There are drinks and snacks for you. Let's not get bored, it's almost three hours."

Airin smiled a little. How to get bored if sitting with a boyfriend. "What time are you leaving? I wasn't replied to that chat."

"Yes, I leave at 6 less" replied Revan.

"Truly craving."

"Yes because the problem is to prepare all the equipment with the committee, sorry I did not have time to reply to your chat. I'm in a hurry to get out." The two of them were still chatting and staring at each other with one hand stuck together. It really feels the bus belongs to the two others just hitchhiking.

"Ciee, ciee, sir ketos we're getting so bucolic. Make the envy of singles" chirped one of his friends.

"Yes loh. His hands look tuh, clasping tightly like to cross when again sitting relaxed."

"The bucin basic one!" Ria has a voice. Ria could now control herself. He no longer bullied as often as he used to.

Airin and Revan just smiled a little. After the sloping news between Azka and Airin was finished, they had indeed gone public. No longer dating in secret.

After nearly an hour of travel, Airin felt very sleepy. He yawned a few times with eyes that already wanted to be closed.

"You sleepy? Here." Revan grabbed Airin's shoulder and rested Airin's head on his shoulder.

Airin's chest was pounding again but the position felt very comfortable. He finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Revan gave a small smile looking at his girl who was now asleep on his shoulder. He wants to be with Airin until later, if God allows it, because he knows the journey is still long. It could all happen in the middle of their relationship.

Just a few minutes Airin closed his eyes, he had a dream that a bus was shaking violently. All the passengers screamed and asked for help as the bus plunged into the ravine.

Airin opened his eyes. He straightened himself while circulating his gaze across the bus.

"Ai, why?" asked Revan who saw Airin's tense face.

Airin took a deep breath when he saw the bus running normally. "I'm a nightmare."

"Nightmare?"

Airin nodded his head. "Hopefully my dream is not a bad sign either. I'm scared, Van. Suddenly I feel bad."

"Don't be afraid. It must be just a dream." Revan rubbed the sweaty Airin temple.

Airin nodded his head and tried to forget the dream. Yes, maybe it was just a dream.
