Ai, Love Me
Eps 82, Help from Yoga and Other Youth

Arriving at the village office, Johan knocked on the front door and waited until the people inside opened the front door.2 minutes passed, when the front door was opened by someone who had taken refuge in it. Johan found out that a young man who was one of the members of the forest guard committee opened the door.

When he found Johan outside the building, the young men opened the door so wide and then greeted Johan so compact and simultaneously.

“welcome sir, Johan!” all the young men shouted so simultaneously.

“pa-morning everyone” replied Johan.

“ada about what morning here?” ask one of the young men there.

“a-anu, this is very coincidental, I want to meet you all” replied Johan.

“we are ready and will leave for the forest for the same guard as what Johan told us all last night” replied one young man there.

“in that case, can you get out on the terrace of this building? I want to see you all one by one” explained Johan.

“your wish is an order for us” replied a young man there.

At that time, dozens of young men who were there also walked out of the building so neatly. It is true like a military soldier who is so deft in carrying out his duties. Johan was right so salute and so amazed by their hard work.

All the young people who were inside the refugee building immediately walked out and left the refugees elderly and elderly people and children kacil and toddlers. They were all staring at Johan with gazes so warm and delicate.

At that moment, Johan was approached by the village children. They all brought toys from what Johan had given us yesterday. They were all so happy and cheerful when they found out that their idol had come to the village.

“kak Johannn!” shouted Aqila, Fathur, Thunder, Juan, Ryu and Aji simultaneously running towards Johan.

“you're all awake. What about Johan's toy?” johan asked squatting down her body and looked at their faces all.

“ is really cool and exciting. We really do not get bored when playing the toy” replied them all.

“then, play properly and do not damage the toy yes. Don't cheat when playing” Johan said in a tone as smooth as silk.

“good brother Johan” replied they all put on a face so cheerful and happy.

“then, come back to play” replied Johan.

“iya” answer they all walk back to where they came from.

At that time, Johan again stood up straight while staring at all the refugees. With a tone so loud, Johan said to all of them with a gaze so sharp and so confident.

“even though I don't know what you're feeling right now, I still think of you all as my uncles and aunts. I don't know what you're feeling right now. Maybe you are hungry, thirsty, hot, cold, tired, in pain, and so on. Many of you are malnourished, but I instead told you to form a committee to guard the forest from the loggers. Honestly, I don't have enough rewards to make your empty stomach full of nutritious food. I'm also just a normal High School student, who always says rude and always gets angry when my parents don't give me what I want. But trust me, there will always be help out there to help all of you here. I'm very grateful that you have taken care of this forest and the preservation of nature. I hope that you will soon get a decent place to live and get nutritious and adequate food. I hope all my brothers who are here can live happily as our best friend out there” said Johan.

“you're right like eyang. If only your grandfather were alive, he would say what you say” mother said in front of him.

“you inherited the nature and determination of eyang” shouted om om beside him.

“although eyang is dead, at least we still have Johan son, right?” ask grandma in front of him.

“that's right..” “turr!!” “Johan is the successor of eyang!” yell at them all at the same time.

“everything... I am very proud of my brother. But I'm not sure I can be like my grandfather. I'm not sure I can have a role like my grandfather. I'm not sure I can be like that. And also I'm not sure if I can do the task like my grandfather did” explained Johan.

“you don't have to do what your grandfather has to do, but do what you have to do” mother said in front of him.

“everyone has their own role even if it is as small as that. Be proud of what you did because not everyone is able to do what they really want to do” said grandma in front of him.

“grandfather's soul lives in my body?” ask Johan.

“more precisely in the bottom of your heart the deepest” replied the grandmother.

“well, I really understand what you're saying. I'm going to leave. Thank you for all your support. Thank you allaaaaa!!” johan shouted as she waved her hand so wide.

“beware and enjoy” said they all replied to Johan's hand.

At that moment, Johan walked out of the building. Johan found that all the young men were actually lined up in front of the building in the sun that was still not so hot.

“good all of you. I've prepared a task for all of you. This Tuags will always be a task that you will instill in the heads and hearts of all of you”, said Johan.

“tasks? What task is it?” ask a young man there.

“one task required for all of you. A task that will take place until we all age. His task is one, that is, do not assume I am your superior and consider me as your friend and brother who is asking for help.” cried Johan so loudly.

Hearing that, their hearts were all so moved. Their hearts are so beating. One drop of their tears glistened on their cheeks all. They were so shocked and so happy to hear Johan saying that. For some reason, but they think that they do their job happily without any purpose and rewards.

“but Johan, you are-“ said one of the stalled youths.

“i is not who. Even I am the same age as you or younger. You guys don't want to respect me. You are my friend and my brother in this village. I am also from this village and I am your neighbor even though my house is far from the settlement. We are all brothers and I will be waiting for your return at night in good health unharmed. Honestly from the bottom of my heart, I say this because I do not have the rewards you deserve for your struggle against the loggers who can do logging at any time. But I say this as an unknown stranger to ask you all for help so that we can all keep the forest so compact. However, I am very happy to hear that you are willing to volunteer in forest care every day” Johan said.

“it doesn't matter. Rewards are not important. Everything is not important. From birth, we breathe oxygen from trees. We live side by side with trees. We take shelter in trees when it rains. We eat fruits from trees. And even we use wood from trees to make homes and protections. We are not doing this just because of you, but to return the favor of the forest that has protected, guarded and accompanied us when we were children until now. We will not forgive anyone who dares to disturb our nature. And your goal is the same as ours. Either way, we are friends with the same goal. Don't think so much about rewards. Because the forest itself is the most valuable reward for all of us” said one young man there.

“ is really a wise word. It's like the word hero in a fictional novel that I always read last night” thought Johan wiped his tears.

“then, are you ready, brother?” johan asked shouting so loudly.

“siaaaappp!!” yell at them all.

“i told you to take care of the hornbeam tree in the forest. Do you remember that?” ask Johan.

“we remember” answer them all.

“then, I want you to prioritize that tree for me. As brothers, I want to ask all of you for help. Please prioritize the tree for me” Johan said by lowering his head.

“hey Johan, what are you doing!” said one of the young men there immediately walked up to Johan and raised his body.

“when you said we were brothers. Helping your own brother is a natural thing, right? Take it easy, we will take care of it for you” said the young man.

“what's your name?” ask Johan.

“my name? I'm Yoga. Greetings” says Yoga.

“thank you very much, Yoga” said Johan patting both shoulders Yoga.

“ equally, my brother” replied Yoga.

However, suddenly, there was the sound of shrubs moving and swiping from near the mango tree. Their handlers immediately pointed towards the bush. So deftly, they prepared their daggers all in their right hands because they assumed that the contents of the bush were wild animals.

Moments later, carrying two mangoes in her right and left hands, Odessa came out of the bush. Seeing that, Johan and all the young men there were really so surprised by the existence of an amazingly beautiful woman carrying two mangoes in her right and left hands.
