There Is Him Among Us

We Should Stay Together

"Mas, why do I suddenly feel bad?" Rili picked up his phone and called Airin, but several times the call was not yet connected.

"You're calm, there's a lot of teachers in charge." Although Alvin's feelings were not good either but he tried to calm his wife.

"But from earlier I called via WA can't. Cellular calls can't either." Rili was getting worried. "Udah is getting dark, I'm afraid Airin is being bullied by the subtle creatures there."

"You calm down. Do you have anyone's number? Revan or Melody?"

"I only have Melody's number." Rili is now calling Melodi's number but also not connected. "Can't either."

Moments later a call came in to Alvin's cell phone number. "Guardie Airin's class."

Rili's getting panicked. Did Airin's homeroom teacher call Alvin's number?

"Yes hello... Whaaat! Airin lost? How come?... Yes, I'll be there soon." Then Alvin turned off the call.

"Mas, Airin why?" ask Rili. Her tears were already blocked in her eyes.

"Airin was suddenly not in the camp. She's lost with Revan, Azka, and Melodi."

"Jeez, where's Airin?"

"We go there now. I hope Airin meets soon." Alvin and Rili walk to his room to pick up his jacket and car keys. He also contacted Kevin. Maybe Kevin can track down his son.

"Hallo Kev, have you been informed by Bu Nurul?... Yes, how can children be lost... You're tracking through Revan's cell phone it might be detected, let me track down Airin's phone... Yes, we meet at the location..." Alvin turned off his call and put on his jacket and walked out of the house.

"Ayla, Arsyad will pick you up. You stay at the house of oma only because the possibility of Mother coming home tomorrow until Airin met." message Rili to Ayla.

"Yes Bun, I hope Airin meets soon. Duh, pity must be dark in the woods."

Alvin and Rili get in the car. Moments later, their car quickly drove to Airin's campground.

...***...

"Watery..." Revan tries to grab Airin's unconscious hand. Although her entire body was also very sick she tried to get up and drag her legs closer to Airin.

"Oh," came the sound of Melody, she held onto her injured forehead.

"Mel, you don't papa, do you?" Azka turned on her cell phone flashlight while sliding herself because she was pinning Melodi's leg.

"My forehead is like a wound."

Azka saw the wound on Melodi's forehead. "Yes, wounds. Thankfully not wide. But you can still stand."

Melodi nods her head then she stands up with Azka's help and approaches Airin.

"Ai, wake up Ai. Airin?" Revan grabbed Airin's body and patted her on the cheek to wake up. "Oh, please wake up. Ai..."

Finally, Airin opened his eyes. "Revan!" Instantly he hugged Revan tightly. He could only see Revan's face faintly under the darkness of that night.

"Thank God you two didn't faint." Azka glanced at the two of them and then she looked for some tree branches. "We'll spend the night here. The place is pretty flat."

After collecting some dry twigs, Azka lit her match and made a small bonfire. At least it can warm them up a little and add lighting on that cold night.

Eve gripped increasingly felt in the body of Airin. Those heartbreaking cries sounded louder. But Airin did not shout, he tried to restrain himself from staying calm. He did not want his friends to panic because of his fear.

Melodi was also in pain while holding her leg. "Mel, you don't papa?"

"My feet are grieving." Loodi straightened her legs. It does not hurt at first but if made to walk is painful.

"I'm not papa. I just crushed Melody's leg." Azka sat down next to Melodi and grabbed her leg. "Here, I see his feet. He said it wasn't papa, it's sick now?"

"Yes, it's sick."

Azka started massaging Melody's legs but Melody was getting screaming. "It hurts Azka, it's just this."

Finally Azka let Melodi feet. He now grabbed Melody and half-hugged her. "So, stay here if you want to sleep."

"Eh, hmm..."

"You're a girl, there's no way I'd be so scared. Airin's the same Revan, you're sleeping here."

"Ih, that's chatty. Tell me if you're jealous" said Melodi near Azka's ear.

"Shut up!" Because he saw Airin and Revan always hugged. His heart hurt but did not bleed.

Revan's hand that had been hugging Airin felt trembling. Even his entire body was shivering.

"Revan why are you?" airin asked while looking at Revan's pale face.

"No papa."

"Van?" Airin touched the nape of Revan's neck which was starting to feel hot. "You're feverish. Let's not say this is the effect of the snake bite."

"Udah, don't worry too much. You just sleep. Hopefully tomorrow morning we can find a way" said Revan, who hid his own pain.

Airin now hugged Revan's body. "Van, your body is shivering."

"Yes, it suddenly felt really cold." Revan's voice was getting louder. His body suddenly felt very cold. His feet are also getting painful.

"Why?" ask Azka.

"Revan's cold."

Azka and Melodi approached. "Don't this the snake bite effect earlier." Azka glanced at Revan's feet which looked blue. "We hugged Revan together. So that the shivering is gone."

Just this time Revan was deeply touched by their friendship, his heart was like misty. He pressed the tip of his eye repeatedly, this was the true meaning of friendship.

"Tomorrow you'll find a way out. You guys leave me here it's okay" Revan said. He himself did not know how he would be tomorrow. Is he still able to survive or not?

"Revan, what are you talking about? Nope! We need to get out of here together" Airin said.

"Yes, we can't stay here! It turns out you're a weak guy who resigned to the situation!" Although Azka spoke loudly, but she was very loyal friend.

"If you guys make it out, they'll know my position, too."

"No, I'll be the same as you. I will help you whatever your condition. Let Azka and Melodi quickly get out of here and seek help. I will always accompany you" said Airin, though he was not sure if he could get out safely.

"Udah, no need to wash. We're looking for a way out together. We have to help each other."

The four of them hugged each other into one. For a moment, the state of silence, there was only the sound of the beast of the night being mutually unpretentious. The night was very long at the time. Maybe it was 19:00. How will they survive until tomorrow?
