There is No Need for Love

Q2: A Strenuous Journey

Alam Kalimantan does have a tremendous appeal, especially about its naturalness that even looks like unspoiled, Farhan imagines there is a location like this in Jakarta, of course it will be very pleasant, very pleasant, very beautiful and soothing.

Farhan's eyes continued to enjoy the scenery that was indeed very extraordinary, the edge of the river filled with dense forests, the sound of animal sounds sounded like music that spoiled the ears, very beautiful for Farhan, the sound of animal sounds, a collaboration that gives the perfect touch of nature.

Farhan also sighed a little when he found the point that the tree had changed with palm oil, even that was quite a lot, he said, Farhan remembered reading the news in the newspaper and also some articles that said the forests of Kalimantan had been damaged.

The main perpetrator of this destruction according to environmentalists is the work of plantation owners, Farhan glance towards Haris, Farhan smile himself, his uncle who is a plantation person, and he looks at the, inevitably can be counted as one of the perpetrators of the disappearance of many forests in Kalimantan.

Farhan also admitted that if the issue of plantations is plus minus, it is said plus because the existence of plantations can change the economy of the community, income can increase improving, he said, the emergence of thousands of jobs and many things that deserve to be called positive.

But, that was, there is a minus, most feared by many environmentalists is the damage caused by forest encroachment, let alone all also know that the forest is the lung of the world, when lung is damaged, and all know that the forest is the lung of the world, it will cause other damage. It's hard to explain, but that's the real fact.

But, now that Farhan is still very pleasing to his mind, the more it goes inside, the more beautiful the scenery that Farhan can enjoy, the more beautiful it is, this then makes the more confident Farhan want to see firsthand the lives of those at the border.

Asrul's brother had many stories, as well as Risda's sister-in-law, but it was only a story, Farhan was sure it would be more beautiful if he saw it in person, at least for now, Farhan began to acknowledge the story of his brother and sister-in-law about the beautiful nature of Kalimantan.

But a moment later Farhan soared, as fast as lightning Farhan retreated and immediately held Haris' hand with a fairly pale face, why not, on the edge of the river, in a slightly sandy area there are at least five large crocodiles that can be caught by Farhan's eyes, appearing to be sunbathing with open mouths.

From the ripples of water on the edge of the river, Farhan was sure that the crocodile who was in the river, was in the water also there. Of course making Farhan wrong behavior, if this is being landed, certainly Farhan will run as fast as possible.

Tomy immediately ngakak, this of course makes Farhan so upset, when the crocodile troupe is not seen again, Farhan returned to his original place and punched softly shoulder Tomy, who was in the fist again ngakak, funny looking at Farhan's tension.

“That's crocodile Far fish, will not disturb if we do not disturb”.

Farhan. “But it remains a crocodile right ?”.

Tomy laughs again.”Yes, it is indeed a crocodile, want to say moreover, its name is indeed crocodile”.

“Sialan”. Farhan UMPAT.

Tomy really let out a laugh as much as possible, Tomy continued to shake his head to see Farhan's face was very tense, Tomy was sure that Farhan had never before or even had often seen crocodiles, but it's possible in zoos, not in the wild like this.

Tomy each shook his head. “Iya, it is a Far crocodile, komodo is not here, most besides the lizard, if sustenance meets, it could be with Anaconda, want ?”.

Farhan's heart was still pounding. “Emang no ?”.

Tomy laughed again. “If all I know is Far, the largest Anaconda in the world that has ever met humans, yes .. here”.

“That's right you're Tom”.

Tomy nodded convincingly. “Serious, he said it was so”.

Farhan is getting shrunken. “Already ah, how to say it”.

Haris and the boat driver who is none other than Mr. Buang just look at each other and the same thin smile. Haris added it with a head bobble, he remembered the beginning here first, Haris also experienced the same fear as Farhan experienced, but it only lasted a short time, only briefly.

Once Haris got used to it, everything became normal, had too often seen crocodile fish like that, so for now Haris is no longer disturbed, everything is normal, for Farhan only natural, so that, because it is the first time to see crocodiles in the wild like this.

It was almost dark when the boat pulled over, Farhan and Tomy thought they had arrived, but it turned out that the two were wrong again, they stopped only for maghrib prayer, here there was a shop that provided musholla, and there was a place to pray, and dinner too.

“Satisfaction is cool huh Tom ?”.

Tomy laughed a little. “The name is also the outskirts of Far forest, natural anyway, of course cool, the air is also still healthy, fresh of course”.

Farhan nodded his head. “The Border Land is indeed cool huh Tom”.

“Sangat”. Tomy replied with a small laugh.

But true, Farhan admitted that if the air here is very cool, feels very different from the air of Jakarta, the wind is really pierced into the bone, but in general for Farhan is very refreshing, but in general, it is very refreshing, the air is healthy, the air is very natural.

Farhan was a bit goosebumps when he got back on the boat, Farhan could hardly believe that they had to go through the river again this night, but Farhan wanted to tell me what, this was the journey they had to go through, inevitably Farhan had to come along, while Tomy did not seem so troubled.

Only ten minutes boat walk, Farhan really gamang, nothing that Farhan can enjoy now, look to the left or right side, which looks only dark forest, looking ahead only saw the river flow that seemed to seem endless.

Farhan folded his arms as if hugging himself, Farhan began to feel cold, but it was not the feeling that most overpowered Farhan now, but a very high fear, to be honest, there is regret in Farhan's heart, if you know it will be this way, Farhan better wait in the department alone.

How Farhan did not turn pale, even when looking back, the body of the boat controller even looks just like a shadow, even Haris' face alone can not be clearly seen Farhan, but the body of the boat controller even looks like a shadow, only Tomy's face was quite clear, and that was because Tomy was sitting right next to him.

Farhan's shadow even more sinister, which is in the head of Farhan now is precisely a big snake film that aired on television, Farhan knows that the location of the film shooting is here, in Kalimantan, Indonesia, don't let this be one of them, Inner Farhan.

Farhan's heart could not calm down at all, if he saw a lamp indicating it was a village, Farhan was a little happy, but Farhan was upset again when he knew it was not their goal, he said, even Farhan continued to look at the village until it was no longer visible.

I wanted to feel Farhan jumping when the boat was really out of his way, but it was impossible, Farhan was as hard as he could hold himself back so he could calm down, now Farhan was the one who became really worried, now Farhan was holding his knees with both hands, as soon as he stood up, it turned out that Farhan was shaking.

Farhan was as strong as he could control himself, it was very difficult, Farhan could only step one, and ended up being the last person to leave the boat. Somehow Farhan felt when he reached the mainland, Farhan stood holding a tree to calm himself down.

Fortunately there was enough of Haris' luggage to be dropped, so Farhan had plenty of time to neutralize his trembling body while waiting for the locals to bring down Haris' luggage.

Fortunately again, when all the goods have gone up to the mainland, Farhan has been fully able to control himself, so that he can smile sweetly and join in stepping with others to leave the stopover.

Farhan shadow is still not the same as the situation faced, Farhan shadow earlier, their destination is not far from the place of stopping, it is not at all, still have to carry out the mission on foot, farhan did not even know how far this trip would go.

Farhan remained silent, only this time also walking in the middle of the forest with only one light torch, which held the torch as well as the road ahead, even Farhan did not know what he was stepping on, but he did not know what, the sound of crackles due to their footsteps also made Farhan's heart back dag dig dug.

What makes Farhan strong is only the belief that if all this is not a strange thing to face, besides Farhan is not alone, there are many people who walk together with him, there is his uncle Haris, there are many people who walk with him, there is also his friend Tomy, then the Scout soul in Farhan's head helps his feelings.

But, the fear remains, the fear of Farhan was above average, already at the highest stage since they entered the forest, a view that was completely only able to find the dark of the forest, the forest, it was Farhan's first experience in life, and that was what kept him agitated along the way.

The slightest sound coming from the forest always made Farhan want to surge, but Farhan managed to hold back, most only rubbing his chest repeatedly, certainly in hopes of neutralizing his ever-increasing heartbeat.

Unfortunately again, even though this close, Farhan did not see the existence of Haris or Tomy, only Haris's voice was occasionally heard while chatting with his friends, while the same Tomy was silent making Farhan did not know where his position was.

Farhan let out a long sigh when he saw the village, Farhan was so relieved, it felt like he had taken off a rope that tightly bound his entire body. Many times Farhan sighed, but it was all done by Farhan slowly, worried also back to be a laughingstock Tomy.

Farhan was more relieved, not far into the village that seemed uninhabited, the group had entered the house, had sat together with the mat title, and even before long there was already available some form of drink, there were several forms of drinks, Farhan chose coffee.

Farhan drank his coffee slowly, staring one by one at the faces he was with, Farhan did not find a single face that looked tense, including Tomy who seemed relaxed leaning against the wall, even a smile seemed to be talking to the smile next to him using the language of their region.

Farhan finally nods his head and smiles as well when he finds out, Tomy's conversation partner is a plantation employee from the same village as Tomy, of course they talk good.

“This is the village where Abangmu Asrul and Sister Risda serve Far”.

Farhan turned towards Haris. “In this village Uncle ?”.

Haris nods his head. “Yes, they used to serve him here. Tomorrow we go to that school, Uncle there also bring some books for them”.

Farhan smiled widely. “Sip Uncle”.

“Okey .. we just sleep yes, tired, already late also ini”.

Farhan and Tomy both nodded their heads, both of them admitting that Haris was right, their bodies were tired and tired, so the choice to rest sleep is the most appropriate choice at this time, a choice that no one will be able to refuse.
