The bus Zico and his schoolmates had arrived at their destination.
In a village right on the mountain slope. They get instructions and a 15-minute break before going on their way to Shelter 1 where they set up camp.
But before we get to Shelter 1, they'll pass post 1 first.
Zico looked around crowded with children his age from other schools who would also do similar activities with him.
In addition, there are also adults both men and women who are sure to climb the mountain. Seen by their appearance.
...----------------...
..."Well, we will soon make our journey to know and love nature, before we continue, let us pray first that the journey we will make, smooth and protected from the power, let us pray first, praying, start"...
Mr. Dimas led the prayer, All participants lowered their heads.
The team from Zico's school got first place to travel, followed by the team from Arend's school, then the team of another school team.
The journey is done in a relaxed and calm, during the journey the builders provide an explanation of the place, anything encountered, plants, animals, rocks, or anything that can add to their knowledge of nature.
The Rangers were quick to watch over them, doing surveillance and guarding to keep everyone safe.
The journey to Shelter 1 which if done by climbers only takes less than 1 hour, they can only reach it after a trip for 1 hour, only in post 1. And will continue to Shelter 1 later.
The leader of the coach gave 15 minutes to get back to rest, before continuing the journey. In post 1 there is a small stall selling drinks, Snacks and instant noodles.
Zico rested with his friends by eating Snack snacks, sounding boisterous cheerful from their crowd.
Suddenly came a young man with five friends who approached Zico and his friend.
..."Hey, you're a city boy!."...
A fat boy on Zico points his index finger at Zico.
..."Not the boss, he's not a city guy, he's a bule."...
..."No, maybe he's the son of the invaders.!"...
It seems that they are wayward kids who want to find trouble with Zico and bully him.
The farmer and some of his friends laughed.
..."Why follow dangerous activities like this, this can only be done by real boys like us. Look at you, boy why is his skin white like flour?"...
Again there was laughter from his friends.
Seeing his pride in the stampede, Zico rushed up from his seat wanting to give resistance to the pond, but obviously, with just one push Zico slumped to the ground.
It just so happened that this place they were resting was far from the reach of the builders and the Rangers.
His friends Zico guts shrivel, they do not dare to help Zico face the farm boy and his friends.
Suddenly the man screamed in pain.
..."Aaaccchhhhhhhhc,"...
A pebble hit his cheek like someone threw it.
..."Why boss?"...
..."Someone threw stones at me, it was hard, my cheeks hurt so much."...
..."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh,"...
Now the friend of the other pondun who got the gravel throw attack.
..."Hey, who's it, come out if you dare. Don't hide."...
Shouted Si Tambun defiantly, but again, he got an attack on his back with a bigger pebble, and Si Tambun grimaced in pain.
..."Boss, don't-don't, it was an attack from the mountain guards? The boss remembered the stories of the climbers, that while on the mountain we should not misbehave."...
..."Yes Boss, already Boss, we're unplugging it now." ...
Zico and his friends looked at each other confused, mountain guard? whatdoes thatmean?
Not long after that Arend emerged from behind the bushes by toying with his catapult twirling it in midair, walking past Zico in front of him.
Zico was silent but eventually he quickly regained consciousness.
..."Wait, you did that, right? You helped me, right?"...
Shouted Zico running following Arend's footsteps.
..."What the hell are you saying? I didn't do anything."...
..."No, I'm sure it was us who did it, you who attacked them, giving them a shot with your advanced tools."...
Zico pointed at the catapult of Arend.
..."apple."...
..."Yeah, I've seen it on the internet."...
Reply Zico enthusiastically, which was responded by a whistle from Arend.
..."Cih, already, go there, do not follow me, quickly join your school team, do not split, you can be considered lost later, we will immediately continue the journey."...
..."Okay, but first, introduce, my name is Zico, Zico El Aryan."...
Zico held out a hand.
Arend stopped his steps that continued to be followed by Zico, in fact he was not interested in Zico's invitation to get acquainted, but hearing Aryan's name behind his name, he stared in Zico for a while.
His own name is Arendra son of Aryan, which according to Ayla's mother, Aryan is the name of his father, which he knows from the citizens of his father is a TNI who has died.
..."Your name's Aryan?"...
..."Yeah, uh no, my nickname is Zico Aryan's last name, it's my father's name."...
after thinking for a while, Arend felt it would not hurt to shake Zico's hand accepting a friend request from him.
..."I'm Arend."...
..."Arend who? I'll remember it well."...
Reluctant to answer Zico's questions, Arend passed his steps toward his school team.
..."All right, if you don't want to tell me, but, can I ask for your whatsap number?"...
..."I'm not playing HP."...
..."Oh, uh,"...
Zico nodded.
..."But, from now on, we mean friends right?"...
Arend did not answer and just continued to move forward.
..."Arend, we're friends, right?"...
..."huffffftt, yes. Never mind, there go, meet your team."...
There is no word of coincidence, all that happens is a destiny that has been set and in line by the almighty to his servant.
After a trip of almost half an hour. They're up to Shelter 1. Where they will do activities to know and love nature. Setting up a tent, which is camping.
The kids were amazed by the beauty of this place.
A vast plain with a stretch of green grass, a lake whose water is so clear, and across the lake there are two hills, which look perfectly attached to the sky, (the name is also seen from far away) with clear skies, but cool, white cloud clouds look thick, in the circular forest that looks close but is actually far away, because this stretch of land is very broad. If you describe the beauty like a very beautiful natural painting.
The camp participants are guided to immediately set up the Tent, with instructions from the builders, and teamwork.one tent for 4 children.
And, Zico deliberately took the initiative to ask his friends to set up a tent near Arend's tent, which was on a higher plateau and some distance from the lake. From where it was originally supposed to set up a tent near the lake. With the reason of fear if the night there will be wild animals that come to the lake to find a drink.
