24. Fauzan

Rea's frozen. The name listed on the stone is indeed his full name. Amanda Rea's. But he was puzzled as to how his name could be at the venue, while this was the first time Rea had set foot in Borneo.

Dana who saw Rea daydreaming, then tried to resuscitate him. Dana keeps calling Rea's name until Rea finally returns to her consciousness.

"Eh, Why, Dan?" rea asked somewhat confusedly.

"Why you?"

"It's okay. Just confused, how can my name be here, huh? Though I have never been to this place," said Rea managed to make Dana also helped think of the reason why his friend's name was in the middle of the Borneo wilderness.

"Ah, already. Don't think about it. Amanda Rea's name, isn't just you. There must have been someone else of the same name, and had come here before. Yes already. Come on, let's go back and find some firewood. It's gonna be night soon."

They both continued their search for firewood. After a few minutes, all the dry firewood had been collected. Ten of them returned to the campfire.

The day showed at 7 p.m. Even though it was night, the atmosphere around which it had been a little dark since the beginning, was getting darker. Fortunately the bonfire had been successfully lit so they did not need to feel the darkness in the wilderness.

Each of them began to prepare a variety of food and drinks. Starting from coffee tea and making instant noodles.

Walking for several hours certainly makes their energy drained.

They need intake to replenish energy before continuing the journey home. Which I don't know until when it will happen. They declare themselves if they are lost.

Dinner is ready. They ate while discussing to determine the next step. Of course tonight they will sleep in tents, rather than roam in the woods where no one knows how dangerous it is in the wild.

"How do we plan on doing this next? Keep waiting for a rescue team or team, or what?"

"...."

All were silent, just simultaneously glancing towards Diah who kept saying loud and straightforward.

"You do realize that we're lost?"

"Hm, yes. Continue how dong," whine Apri.

"Yes, we better get some rest here tonight. Tomorrow we continue our journey. Surely other friends will be looking for us. We must have met them" Rea said.

"Related, Re? suppose we don't meet other friends or the rescue team? How's dong? Our time is constantly in this forest? Until when?" ita whinek.

"Udah. Don't think that's not okay. We just pray. Hopefully tomorrow we can meet other friends, even if we can not go home for sure they will look for us. I'm sure we'll all be on the missing persons list. Because it was supposed to be before 9 p.m., all those teams had already returned to the last post. But it turns out we're still here, which I don't even know where this is. Everything looks the same" Dana said. He feels guilty because he is the only person who should be responsible for the safety of the team he brings.

"Father right. We do not need to think negatively, because what we think can be true. In principle, words are part of prayer. So be careful when you think. Don't think bad first, we have to be optimistic that tomorrow we can return. The coach and the rescue team must be a lot out there, and they'll all be combing the forest until we meet. So we need to stay here while filling up the energy" said Hana optimistically.

"Yes already. After all the eating, mengingan the girls on directly enter the tent deh. You guys take a break, let us guys take turns guarding. Don't know what this forest is like? Even though there may be no tiger, lion, or other wild animals, but we need to be careful" said Hani chimed.

"Yes, Hani is right. This forest was once still a wild forest, even still unspoiled by humans. Just a few years ago there was activity. Fear of wild animals still being here."

"But you're sure? we gonna be safe here? Wouldn't his campfire be dangerous and lure wild animals huh? Ask Diah.

"Not wrong! Campfire is precisely one way that we can avoid the attack of some wild animals. Aside from being a body warmer for us tonight. Yes, you're there, you're asleep. I finished eating right," Dana pushed firmly.

Blendoz who was eating did not care so much about the chatter of his friends.

He is a hobby of one meal, so his posture is different from others. But make no mistake, because he has a fairly high sense of solidarity. Even he did not hesitate to help his friends when they were in trouble. As happened to Hani, when they were still in High School. Blendoz did not hesitate to hold Hani while they were riding Mount Slamet. Because Hani was injured. Even though along the way Blendoz continues to curse at Hani, but he will never let go of his friend and leave him alone in the forest. There's just something weird about Fauzan. The young man had been more silent since they arrived at the place.

Usually Fauzan is famous as a figure who likes to argue and often quarrels with Diah or Apri, but for this time he actually became a quiet person. Dana who realized that then approached while giving a cup of coffee, because since then Fauzan did not eat and drink at all.

"Lo why?" dana asked while thrusting a cup of coffee in front of Fauzan. He was just staring at the fire in front. His eyes were empty. Like something's wrong.

"Lo's sick?" dana asked again because Fauzan did not give any response.

Fauzan shook his head, but that answer was certainly not enough for Dana. He did not immediately move away from the place and just stared around while watching their friends who were on the other side. Hana, Hani and Blendoz look fun to enjoy boiled beans are still hot.

"Lo's still mad at Fitria because she doesn't want to join our team?" Dana's question slightly insinuated the figure of the woman who became the Fauzan Puja.

"Udah ah's. Don't talk about him, before me. I am nobody, after all. It is only natural that he chose his team the Judis. He likes Judis."

"Yes but if you like Fitria, you should fight dong. Time diem aja, and even that's it anyway."

"Difficult, Dan. You don't understand how I feel. Just try if Rea is not on our team, and choose his team Rendra. How do you feel?"

Dana just glanced at Fauzan while snorting bitterly. It seemed like the young man beside him was feeling a broken heart. So whatever Dana says won't work for her.

"There will be a guard turn. You're the same me." Dana slapped Fauzan on the shoulder. He walked over to his other friend.

"Where? Why is it a child?" tanya Blendoz pointed at Fauzan with her chin.

"Regular. Heartbreak maybe. Go on, let it be. How anyway? Who's on first guard duty? But let Fauzan be the same. You three. We're splitting the two shif."

"Yes. Our eyes are still on. You must be tired, Dan. Rest gih. Take it, Fauzan. Don't dream. Later kesambet new know the taste!" timpal Blendoz.

"Hust! Don't talk to me!" hani nudged Blendoz who was sitting next to him.

"Yes exhausted. Look at that, Si Fauzan. Nightdreaming. Don't see where we are anymore. Think of a girl! Not thinking, how do we go back! Ckck."

Dana just smiled, she then said goodbye to enter the tent. Now it's Hana, Hani, and Blendoz.

After being persuaded, Fauzan finally wanted to go into the tent and sleep. Now there were only three young men standing guard in front of the fire.

"What animal do you think there are in this forest? Are there any tigers in the forest of Borneo?" ask Hani.

"If according to Andrew Kalaweit's vlog, there's still tofu! Just according to him, if we meet a tiger, never run away! Mending us samperin is a tiger!" Blendoz.

"Oh, you go there. There's a tiger getting tamperin! I'm mending!"

While Hana just chuckled while finishing the remaining boiled beans earlier. Watching the debate of the two people in front of him was quite entertaining. At least make the atmosphere not quiet.

On the other hand, the tent containing the girls had already started to quiet down. Four out of five people who were in it were already fast asleep. Only Rea was awake. Although his body was very tired, but his eyes could not be closed. Something was bothering his mind. No other and not is the name listed on the large stone cover of the old well he had just met.

Rea was already in his sleeping bag. Not only was the name listed there, which made him uneasy. But there was something stuck in his heart ever since he saw the well. "Why don't I feel so comfortable, huh?" said Rea asked himself while pressing his chest which was sometimes painful.

"Ah, I'd better get some sleep." Rea tried to continue sleeping. Moreover, the subtle snoring of his friend made him really have to sleep now. Fortunately the sound of friends outside was heard until the tent. So Rea didn't have to feel anxious. Precisely the screams and laughter of the three men outside were able to make his heart calmer.

Rea finally fell asleep. Pretty good for the next few hours. But suddenly his eyes now began to blink, when Apri woke him up.

"Rre ... Wake up, Re." Apri's distinctive voice with whining made Rea start to get upset. He was enjoying a beautiful dream that had just begun.

"Why the hell, Pri?" rea asked somewhat annoyed at being woken up all of a sudden.

"Temenin me dong, Re. I peed, "Apri's whine kept shaking Rea's body.

"No dare to do it yourself, Pri! Diah aja builtin tuh," pointed Rea to the woman who slept between herself and Apri.

"Boro boro built, Re. He was slitting really hard. From earlier I have woken up, even in the same row as his slitting continues! I'm on the edge, Re. Please, help me."

Hearing Apri was panicked, Rea was finally forced to wake up, and accompany Apri out of the tent.

The giggling voice of their friend's friend is gone. There were only shades of silence once they opened the tent. But apparently in front of the tent now there is Dana who is increasing the amount of firewood to keep the fire burning. He looked towards Rea's tent.

"Loh, why? You guys are out?" ask Dana wonder.

"It's Apri, kebelet! You keep it alone?"

"Oh no. Sama Fauzan's. But he's also kebellet. That's where it went," pointed Dana behind her.

"Oh yeah, we're heading a little far from Fauzan, Pri."

"OKAY. Yuk, memento!" Apri was still whining at Rea while pulling her friend's hand. Rea styled Dana with a careless look because of Apri's treatment. While Dana just smiled at Rea, because she could not help him.

The two of them walked in a direction far away from Fauzan. But when entering the other side of the forest, Rea and Apri can see Fauzan who is standing behind them both.

"Here, don't go far" said Rea.

Apri also said, after looking around, he squatted. Rea accompanying Apri could only wait while eliminating both hands in front. He put his jacket together because it felt colder than before. Rea also noticed Fauzan who had not changed position since.

"Drink how many liters he is, not finished as well" muttered Rea to quip Fauzan.

But suddenly the young man immediately turned to him with a sharp look. Rea's surprised. Then try to pull both corners of his lips. But Fauzan did not respond to anything. He just stared at Rea sharply, without blinking. This made Rea uncomfortable.

"Pri, spit! Don't wait!" said Rea who began to panic, but tried to behave appropriately.

"Yes, patience! It's over." Apri stood back up while tidying up her clothes. He went back to where Rea was. "Why the hell? See what?" apri asked and then followed the direction that Rea was looking at.

"Rre ... Fauzan why worry about us that way. Serem ih," whispered Apri.

"Don't be too dizzy ah. Do you know how Fauzan is? Yes indeed. Most just want to do us," said Rea trying to calm yourself as well Apri.

Fauzan who initially turned to the two of them, now turned his body. Still staring at Rea and Apri. Then Fauzan ran towards them. Rea and Apri were shocked. They screamed and ran back to the tent.

The sound of their screams was clearly heard by Dana. As soon as they got near the bonfire, Dana stopped them. "Why? Why you?" ask Dana to panic.

"Fauzan! A trance!" apri screamed while pointing behind them. Dana turned her head, and coincided with Fauzan appearing and directly attacking her.
