Ai, Love Me
Eps 56, Togetherness of the Village children

Johan hurriedly took his bag which was on the mattress where the chairman slept and then searched the contents of his bag. Sure enough, on the front of his bag, Johan found a small box with pictures of the Fire Force (Enen no Shouboutai) anime.

“waaahh, it really is. Thank Godhhhh” shouted Johan so happy.

“heh heh heh, noisy! Someone else is sleeping!” said the chief a little annoyed.

“hehehee, sorry sorry” said Johan scratching his head.

Johan immediately ran and then headed to Aji who was standing in the same place. With that spirit, Johan also gave Aji a surprise in the form of an Action Figure in the form of the character Iris from Fire Force.

“tadaaaaaa” said Johan so dramatically.

“waaaahhhh, that's what?” asked Aji so amazed.

“this is one of my AF toys at home. I just bought. Name's Iris. I will give it to Aji so that Aji has the same toys as Thunder, Fathur, Ryu and Juan”.

“waaahh, really?” tanya Aji was so happy.

“iya correct. I give this to you” Johan said giving a box.

“thank you so much” said Aji received the box.

“fast open” said Johan.

“baik” Aji reply.

Aji opens the box and removes AF Iris from Fire Force (Enen no Shouboutai). With so happy, Aji really embraced the action figure with a subtle hug.

“dia gorgeous” says Aji.

“her name is Iris, she is a prayer reader for firefighters. If you want to pray for the firefighters, just say it at the end of the prayer with the word Latom”.

“Latom? That's a good prayer. Thank you so much” said Aji.

“waaahhh, she's really beautiful really bad abis. Though AF Iris has been targeted from the past and only a few are available in this city. Iris saucy bad muffled. My 800 grand money just disappeared. But it's okay, as long as Aji is happy, I also follow happy” thought Johan inwardly.

“Action Figure is a toy that is only used as a display, so if you play it do not be too rough. Otherwise it will be easily broken” said Johan.

“well, I will display it and will be careful if playing it” said Aji nodded his head.

“then you play together. Do not fight while playing. Okay!” Johan.

“okee! Thank you very much Johan” said the five of them.

“before that, let's tos first” Johan said giving his right palm.

One by one they also did tos to Johan so hard. They were so happy with Johan. A moment after that, the five of them immediately exited the building just to play outside. Johan was really happy to see the little children running out of the building with a loud laugh that put on a look so happy.

A moment after, Johan was approached by two old men. They are a couple of husband and wife. They are both the parents of Aji. The two of them walked towards Johan and approached him.

“excuse me, young boy” said Aji's father.

“iya, what's up dad?” asked Johan politely.

“Aji is our son, and we really thank you for pleasing Aji” said Aji's father.

“ equally father, when aji laughs, there I really feel happy” said Aji.

“you are such a good boy, say your name” said Aji's father.

“bapak can call me Mahesa Johan” replied Johan.

“nak Johan's. Tell me how much the toys you gave Aji” said Aji's father.

“if I tell you the original price, maybe I'll be impressed arrogant and extravagant. Maybe I'll lie a little this time” thought Johan in heart.

“the price is 300 thousand” replied Johan.

“hahh? 300 thousand?” asked both of Aji's parents so surprised by the price so high.

“it's okay mom, dad. You two don't need to replace it. As the grandson of this former village chief, I truly feel responsible and guilty for the mistake of my father who deliberately set this forest on fire. I as his son wanted to be deeply responsible for my papah sins by re-establishing the mind and the beauty of this village. That way, I am a little calmer” said Johan.

“you really are a good son, son Johan” said the father Aji.

“i was just a bad boy who ran away from home just because I wanted to meet the woman I love in this village. True right high school children who are wayward and not obedient parents” said Johan a little laugh blame himself.

“it's okay, love is free, even if you find it in another country, you will always remember it. But if you go against your parents for that, it's the wrong thing” said Aji's father.

“iya yes, I was wrong, hehehe” said Johan laughing while scratching his head.

“for the umpteenth time, I want to thank you very much for the toys you gave our son. We are really grateful. To be honest, we are a family that does lack in our economy. Aji has asked his father many times for toys, but his stupid father is unable to fulfill the request of this only child. When we see Aji who is so happy because he was given a toy by you, we really have a lot of forest to you. Thank you very much for your treatment of Aji”, said Aji's father.

“ equally, you can not think of you as a fool. You are really good parents because you think about the request of their children. Although the request seems impossible to you, but you do not give up. Your intentions are enough to prove that you are a good parent. Then excuse me for going out for a while. Johan said he wanted to go out to find wind” explained Johan.

“iya, heart” answer both of them.

In the end, Johan walked out of the building and stood in front of the door breathing the fresh air. Shortly after, Johan heard the sound of footsteps approaching and apparently it was a young man from the refugees there.

“ohh, ha-hai” said Johan so surprised.

“are you Johan who stabbed 14 loggers?” ask the young man.

“i-iya, that's Mahesa Johan. Call Johan” said Johan.

“we've all heard about your struggle to stab 14 adults who will cut down trees. I think that's a very brave thing. I am the same age as you, 16 years old. But I'm not as brave as you can be against 14 adults alone. Therefore ak-“ said the young man stopped.

“awhile, a minute. Who did you hear it from?” ask Johan.

“I heard it myself from sekertaris” sir replied the young man.

“so they have spread the news to the village refugees. Slowly the village refugees will certainly start to know the whereabouts of the forest loggers. The rest we only need to pay them with nutritious and healthy food. But how can I hire them to guard the forest?” think Johan in your heart.

“hah? excuse um? Did I not hear wrong?” ask Johan.

“we will keep this forest from the loggers so that the forest here remains sustainable” stressed the young man.

“awhile. Do you know what you're saying? Even I wasn't paid by them while doing this. You also will not get wages from keeping tree trees here” said Johan.

“even though we do not get much food and money, but all this time we breathe the air produced from the tree. If only the tree produced a wifi signal that is connected to the internet, surely all humans are racing to plant it. But unfortunately the tree only produces oxygen so that we stay alive on this earth” stressed the young man with a little sarcasm. Hearing this, Johan's heart was touched. Johan's heart beat so hard with his face turning red. The true words were heart-wrenching from the village youths.

“that's cool. That's really cool for quotes” Johan said.

“heh? What?” ask the young man.

“ehh, ehheemm. It's okay what. I think you really intend to do this. I don't think I can ban you and even I would be so incredibly happy. But are you really sure you can keep five parts of this vast forest?” ask Johan.

“i've heard your strategy from deputy sir. I think that strategy is really amazingly cool. But it would be very dangerous for us. For that, we can calm down a little because the youths in this village are very many. We can even change when we are awake at night. The number of young people in this village is 55. And we can divide the pickets for one week, they will be divided into five seven groups with individual divisions into 5 parts that will keep 5 different forests. At that time, we really will be very strong in fighting and guarding the forest” said the young man.

“it looks like you guys have prepared everything carefully. I'm really amazed by you guys. You guys are really great. I will be very grateful to you guys because you already intend to keep alam” Johan said.

“ equally, we also thank you for your courage” stressed the young man.

“then, I'll be gone for a while. Excuse me” said Johan walked over from there.

“be careful in jungle” said the young man.

“thank you so much” replied Johan.

At that time Johan really put on a big smile wherever he looked. Because, he was really happy when Johan felt that he had begun to get along with the villagers. Slowly, the villagers began to grow up and started to trust Johan.

“waaaahh, the air is fresh once” Johan said as he walked towards the forest.

“I want to meet Odessa, think she's at her house or in the tree? If he's in his house, I'm glad he can rest. But if he's in the tree, I'm also happy because I was able to meet Odessa” Johan thought inwardly.

However, when Johan walked about to enter the forest, he was chased by the child who had been talking to Johan. Johan is pursued by Aqila along with Juan, Ryu, Fathur, Guntur and Aji. The six of them chased after Johan who was walking alone at the time.

So quickly, they all hugged Johan's hip legs so tightly together. It made Johan so surprised by what they were all doing here.

“what are you doing here?” ask Johan.

“ehh? What did Brother Johan say? We really live here. We play in the jungle” said Guntur.

“neh Brother Johan. My doll has dried” said Aqila gave her doll.

“wahh, yes. It's dry. Do not fall to the ground yes, let not dirty” said Johan.

“neh brother Johan, let's play” take Aji.

“ehh? But Brother Johan wants to see someone” replied Johan.

“hah? who's? Does Brother Johan have any friends? Or don't you don't Brother Johan already have a girlfriend?” ask Fathur.

“heh? Johan already has a girlfriend?” ask Juan.

“really? Who's woman?” ask Aqila.

“already, he's just a friend of Johan's brother. You better just come back from here. Brother Johan will meet that person” Johan said.

“do not want, we want to come with Brother Johan” said thunder with a tone so spoiled.

“hmm, okelah. But don't run and stick to each other's hands. Okay then!. Don't get lost in the jungle” said Johan.

“oke” answer them all.

A moment after, the six of them joined hands and walked slowly down the rubber forest. At that time, Johan held Aqila's hand on the far left while all of Aqila's friends lined up to the right. Seeing all of them, Johan immediately recalled Emilia and all of her friends.

“Thunder is really like Jehian who is always excited. Juan was like Kahfi who was always serious and reserved. Aji is like me who is a little shy and always covered up. Ryu is like Nyoman who is always blunt when talking. Fathur was like Farel who was a little timid but loyal and smiling. While Aqila is really similar to Emilia who is kind and understanding, she is also accustomed to saying thank you at all times. Rightly true like looking at a mirror reflection of yourself” thought Johan in heart.

“anu, Brother Johan. Actually brother Johan wants to meet with whom?” ask Juan.

“iduh, who ya kira?” tanya Guntur stroked her chin.

“dia is a close friend of Brother Johan. You will definitely see it for yourself later” said Johan.

“wahh, I can't wait to meet him. Surely he is really handsome” said Aqila.

“right, he must be very brave and will be able to fight nagaku” Ryu said.

“or else he can even beat my robot? Ahhhh can't be trusted. Though my robot is really very strong” said Guntur.

“actually, Brother Johan wants to meet women and not men” said Johan.

“heh? Haaahhhh?” they all shouted so surprised.

“he's a good friend of Johan” said Johan.

“what is she so pretty like my Iris?” ask Aji.

“exceed Iris mu” says Johan.

“then give him to me” said Aji.

“but he already has Brother Johan and you already have Iris. So we are the same as having” said Johan.

“kak Johan is right too. It turns out that brother Johan is smart also” said Aji.

“ soul basics fakboy soul from birth” thought Johan while staring at Aji.

Five minutes passed, in fact they had arrived in the middle of the forest. And soon they will reach across the forest where the forest is a forest of former forest fires. It was the same area as the trees of Odessa and the damaged wooden house of Johan's grandfather and grandmother.
