Wanara Project

Chapters 9. A Strong Team

“Welcome to Mandalawangi Peak..” Julia.

The large building that Rama had previously seen was apparently the mansion for training Project Wanara. Julia who had arrived first, waited for the arrival of the first person to reach the top. That man was Rama.

Julia had not expected this before because of Rama's potential which was only at the Dasa level. But it was not too surprising for Julia. Basically, the potential value shown is a combination of various aspects. Rama could be weak in other aspects but very good in terms of stamina and endurance.

Julia welcomes Rama and invites him to enter the mansion and walk directly into the dining room. On the way to the dining room, Julia explained the areas they passed by. The mansion has high gates and fences and looks sturdy. When passing through the gate, lay a very spacious garden and neatly arranged with an elegant design. After passing through the garden, they arrived at the main door of the Wanara Project mansion and entered inside.

“Waw, the living room of this mansion is huge..” thought Rama when he went inside.

“We will go directly to the dining room that is there.” Julia pointed at a door that was on the right side of the living room.

“You can rest and eat there while waiting for all the other members to arrive. If you have finished eating, you can wait in the guest room. The living room will also be a gathering room for all team members.” Julia explained well like a tour guide.

Rama was once amazed by the Pandawa group office building. But what Rama is currently seeing is much more admirable. Rama follows Julia into the dining room while waiting for the rest of the team to arrive. At the time Rama sat at the dining table, at once also came many servants who swiftly presented various types of luxury food that looked very delicious. Rama was treated like a king.

It was exactly at half-time 6pm. An hour later Galih arrived at the top of the mandalawangi followed by Dirga 30 minutes later. They both get a welcome from Julia and sit in the waiting room served with dry bread and a cup of warm tea.

“Sial... this dry bread is hard once.” Say Dirga when trying to eat dry bread served.

“Ha ha ha.. It looks like you are very hungry huh Dirga. That hard bread you can eat. I can't even eat it one bit.” Say Galih with a joke.

“I still have to eat to restore stamina.” Dirga responded calmly.

“What do you think about Rama” asks Galih to open the conversation.

“Maybe he's asleep in there.” Dirga responded with annoyance at losing to Rama. Not only lose, even Rama can reach first position.

“But maybe he deserved it...” Further.

“Did I not hear wrong? Since when are you so wise” asked Galih surprised.

“I am a sporty and fair person. If I lose, I will admit defeat.” Dirga.

Galih nodded smilingly at the words of his friend. Initially Galih thought that Dirga was a haughty and arrogant person. People who only see others from their social status. But what he thought turned out to be wrong.

An hour after Dirga's arrival or exactly 8 p.m., Yuna and Ayu arrived at the training ground. Dirga and Galih are surprised to see Ayu on Darma's back.

“What happened?” ask Dirga.

“Tadi ayu fell and sprained her legs. Therefore Mr. Darma holds Ayu.” Yuna tried to explain what happened.

“Add again, several times we had to rest long enough because I was exhausted and out of breath.” Yuna added with a listless bow.

“Already, the most important thing we all have arrived safely.” Darma.

“Alright.. Since all team members have arrived, I will call on Mr. Rama to join here.” Julia.

Tok Tok Tok…. Julia knocked on the dining room door.

“Mr Rama, the whole team has arrived.” Julia called Rama.

Rama opened the dining room door and shouted…

“Hey you guys why so long...??!!!” rama shouted in annoyance.

“Ayu, Yuna... Are you guys okay? I'm so worried waiting for you.!!”

“.......” everyone fell silent.

“Are you not hungry either? Do you not know from earlier my stomach was rumbling and tormented at the food that continues to tempt to be eaten.!!” Rama continued his words.

“What do you mean Rama?” ask Dirga.

“Don't ask much and see for yourself. Come on in...!!” said Rama.

Everyone was shocked when they entered the dining room. There is a large table containing a lot of food that looks very delicious. None of the food was touched.

“Let's eat together. I can't possibly eat when my friend is starving.” Rama.

Ayu, Yuna, Galih including Dirga were moved by what Rama did. Not because of the food, but because of the care. Even Julia and Darma did not expect that.

“Rama...” Dirga called Rama.

“I'm sorry for the previous incident…. I...” Dirga has not finished his words.

“Already... don't think about it. Come eat.” Rama cut Dirga's words.

“Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, we will give you some time to eat together. We also have to eat first. After eating, we will wait for the master and miss in the living room.” Julia.

“Why don't we eat together?” rama asked Julia and Darma.

“I think this food is more than enough for all of us. And we still have empty seats here. We are a team anyway, right?” Rama continued his words.

“I agree.” Dirga said, approving of Rama's words.

“Let's eat together Julia, Mr. Rama..” said Ayu was happy to be followed by Yuna and Galih who nodded in agreement.

Julia and Darma smile at the omens approving of Rama's words and eat together at a table.

“Ayoooo Eat.....!!!” Shouted Rama while eating food and followed by other team members.

All members of the Project Wanara team including Julia and Darma dined together at one table with ravenous. Physically, they feel very tired. But mentally, they feel very happy.

No need to wait long for them to finish the dishes served at the table.

“Alright, since we have all gathered here, I will do a brief evaluation of our activities today.” Darma opens the conversation.

Rama, Dirga, Galih, Yuna and Ayu turned their eyes to Darma very seriously.

“No need to be too tense, just relax..” said Darma.

“Today I am sure that you have started to understand that the small potential value of a person, does not guarantee that person is better than others” Darma began to explain.

“The value of potential itself is actually an accumulation of value from various aspects of potential that you have. At first glance we can know that Rama who managed to reach the top in the first place has advantages in strength, stamina and endurance.”.

“Stamina and Galih body power are also good enough to be in second place. But Dirga, Ayu especially Yuna has stamina and endurance is bad”

“For that we are here. We will do some intensive experiments and training to improve the aspect of less potential and optimize the aspect of superior potential.”

Dirga, Ayu and Yuna bowed lethargic…

Silent mood…

Braaa……. Suddenly Darma kicked down the dining table and shocked everyone.

“Where was your spirit.??!!” Darma spoke coldly and firmly.

The views of all team members returned to Darma seriously…

“Tomorrow we will continue the training. Now you may be weak, but I believe in you.!!” Darma closes the conversation.

One simple sentence thrown by Darma again evokes the motivation of team members.

Suddenly in the room there was an unpleasant smell.

“You what is this?” dirga asked as she closed her nose

“.........” the entire members look at each other to find out what happened.

“He he…. Ma.. Sorry yes…. Because of eating a lot and too fast, my stomach suddenly hurts” Galih spoke shyly while holding her stomach.

The atmosphere was silent again….

“Duuuuuttt….. Pppsssssssttt....” suddenly just out sound from the direction of Galih.

“Less ajaaaarrr... So dirty once you Galiiihhh...” Shouted Rama.

“We're in the dining room, you think it's a toilet...... Hah.....!!!” Rama continued.

“Ma... maaf... this is out of control” said Galih timidly.

“Ppppppsssssstttt....”.

“Galiiiiiiiihhhh.........!!!!!” shouted Rama.

“Ha ha ha.

Everyone laughed at the behavior of Galih and Rama.

That dinner was very warm. Without them realizing it was the beginning of the formation of a strong team.
