The air is getting colder. Fortunately, they both wore thick, warm jackets. They arrived home at 7 p.m. Mr. Abdi's car is already in front of the fence Johan's house and is about to pick up Johan along with Odessa.
Johan then put his motorcycle into the garage. They both walked into the house with their hands and feet so cold. There, there is the mother and Mr. Abdi who are in front of the laptop.
“what will Odessa go home?” ask Abdi sir.
“i-iya” Odessa reply.
“then, let Mr. Abdi who set” said Mr. Abdi.
“i will also take delivery of Odessa” Johan said.
“you” replied Mr. Abdi.
“be careful on the road, do not speed and do not forget to bring an umbrella. Fear of rain” said the mother.
“no need, definitely not raining kok” Johan said.
“Terusahmu” said the mother.
“tante, Odessa go home first” said Odessa as she walked towards her mother.
“ohh, yes son Odessa. Be careful on the road ya” said the mother.
“Odessa says go”, Odessa kisses her mother's hand.
“when to stop by home again. Promise me, you and Johan will cook food for aunt” said the mother.
“siapp aunt” reply Odessa.
“then, let's go” take Abdi sir.
“baik” answer them both.
The three of them walked out of the house and entered the car. As always, they do not forget about safety when driving. The three of them were wearing seat belts. Johan and Odessa sat in the middle seat while Mr. Abdi drove the car.
As planned, Mr. Abdi directs his car to the city park first and invites Johan to go to meet Adam. Arriving there, Johan opened the car door and was about to get out.
“do you want to do?” tanya Odessa pulled Johan's clothes.
“aku kebelet peed. I want to stop by the public toilet first” replied Johan.
“petan” says Odessa.
“iya, I spit kok” replied Johan.
Johan walked towards the middle of the park. Johan pulled out his phone in his pants pocket and called Adam right then and there. Adam answered Johan's phone so quickly.
“iya, hello?” said Adam.
“where are you now?” ask Johan.
“I am in a place beside the lake of the city park” replied Adam.
“aku otewe there” said Johan.
“spatial, very cold here” firmly Adam.
Johan turned off his phone and spontaneously ran in the direction he was going. When Johan headed to the destination, Johan got a man standing at the lake.
“what are you called Adam Abraham?” shouted Johan.
The man looked back and looked at the voice that was calling out to him. Adam Abraham turned his body and looked at Mahesa Johan with a sharp gaze.
“what are you called Mahesa Johan?” ask Adam.
“right, that's me” replied Johan.
“turns out you're not as handsome as I thought” said Adam.
“basas brazen” replied Johan in a tone so upset.
“tell me what you want” asserted Adam.
“I want to ask all things about nature spirits to you” said Johan degan so in a hurry.
“all things about nature spirits? Maybe I can't tell you all about the spirit of nature, but I'll bet that what I'm saying is true to be honest and happens in the real world” said Adam.
“tell me” Johan said.
“one thing to remember. The spirit of nature will not contain and forever will never contain. The spirit of nature does not eat, does not drink, does not sleep, does not rest, does not hurt, does not get tired, is not hungry and thirsty, does not get dizzy and others” explained Adam.
“can you tell me more specifically about their thoughts?” ask Johan.
“natural spirit thoughts? I think they're so smart. The spirit of nature is born with human intelligence. It can be said that the spirit of nature is as smart as humans who go to school” replied Adam.
“you mean, nature spirits don't need schools to be smart?” ask Johan.
“they were born with the intelligence of people of their age. If he is 15 years old, maybe he has intelligence like a child SMP” Adam replied.
“do you know about other nature spirits?” ask Johan.
“natural spirit will never leave its duty. For example, if you meet a tree spirit, then the tree spirit will never leave the tree even if only a few meters” replied Adam.
“tree spirit will never leave the tree even a few meters? it was different with Odessa. If he was a tree spirit, he couldn't possibly want to eat and drink, he would never sleep and never get tired, nor should he leave his tree.
“but in retrospect, maybe Odessa left the tree, it's because I prepared extra security on the tree. Is it possible that he will leave the tree because he thinks that the youth in Engkobappe is enough to protect the tree?” think Odessa in the heart.
“I want to ask you something. Can a tree spirit tell another human to guard its tree?” ask Johan.
“tree spirits will believe in a human who thinks is an honest and trustworthy human being. But to gain the trust of the spirit of nature, I think it's impossible” Adam replied.
“I told you before. The spirit of the tree will never leave the tree even if it is just a few meters” Adam replied.
“that means, what spirit of nature can not leave what he has guarded before?” ask Johan.
“doesn't mean that either. The spirit of the tree could have left the tree for something they considered more important. But I am sure that they will never reject what the goddess of nature said, Greisha” Adam replied.
“as you said just now, they are like machines that were forcibly hired by the goddess Alam”, Johan said.
“you were right, they were trained to work from childhood” Adam replied.
“how do you know all that?” ask Johan.
“because I've read one ancient book. Near the lake that Riana guarded. There, there was a village leader's grandfather near the lake. After I read the book, I gained a lot of knowledge from it. One of them is about the goddess of nature and the spirit of nature” Adam replied.
“so so, I understand now” replied Johan nodding his head.
“now, tell me about the woman you thought was a nature spirit” tell Adam.
“well. Her name is Odessa Ai. Like you did, I did the same thing. I gave the woman a name. I gave the name to him because he claimed not to be named by his mother”
“but different from what you just said, he's coming with me to town. He was clean hard to bring her into town. And until now, he is still here” replied Johan.
“does Odessa ever confess that she is a spirit of nature?” ask Adam.
“dia confessed that she did not know what about the spirit of nature or the goddess of nature” replied Johan.
“tell me how the chronology you did with Odessa” Adam said.
“maybe it's a little long, but since I'm in a hurry, I'll tell you about it with solid and clear”
So Johan told Adam all things so clearly without any subtraction or addition of the story. Johan spent about 5 minutes telling that long story. Starting from the first time Johan met with Odessa, the death of his family, and what was done by Johan along with Odessa.
“hmm, so so. You said you'd hit two woodcutters who were gonna cut down Odessa's Hornbeam. But do you know the talk?” ask Adam.
“no, I don't know at all” replied Johan.
“and you said that you had prepared the young men from your village to keep the Odessa tree. Are you sure that the young men can really keep the tree?” ask Adam.
“I'm sure they can keep the tree” replied Johan.
“are you sure?. They only work according to their wishes without being paid. I'm not sure if they can fight those woodcutters, even if they look convincing, but you're too careless to entrust the life of a nature spirit to a human so weak” replied Adam.
“but Odessa clean hard to force me to take her to go to kota” replied Johan.
“I don't know what motive Odessa did and why Odessa was so clean so hard to tell you to take her to go to town. But it seems, I understand a little what happened” replied Adam.
“what are you saying?” ask Johan.
“trust me, of all the stories you said that, I can conclude something” Adam replied.
“what is it?” ask Johan.
“as a person who has met the spirit of nature for approximately 1 month, I can conclude that Odessa is the spirit of the tree” said Adam.
“a-are you sure? how do you know that?” ask Johan.
“I understand more about the situation and conditions than you. Because I have met the spirit of nature before you. But what still bothers me from the beginning is why Odessa had to leave the tree for a vacation to the city” said Adam.
“he really wants to spend time with me in kota” replied Johan.
“or don't don't” said Adam stroking his chin.
“ada what?” johan asked so curiously.
“i just speculated and tried to read the mind content of the spirit of nature. Odessa loves you so much, and she doesn't want to see you hurt. If you'd known that someone would attack the Odessa tree, you would have taken care of him, and you will never take Odessa for a vacation to the city just for keeping the tree” Adam replied.
“what do you mean?” ask Johan.
“what is possible, Odessa tried to protect you from the woodcutters so you wouldn't get hurt while protecting Odessa's trees?” ask Adam.
“i don't think that's possible, it's because I've caught the loggers before” Johan replied.
“but that does not rule out the possibility for loggers to cut down trees belonging to Odessa. Like you said, the hornbeam tree is a tree that originated in Ukraine. And maybe the lumberjacks were so ambitious to take the trunk of that rare tree”
“again, I was just trying to read the thoughts of the nature spirits. Don't trust my words so much because I don't even know if my words are true or not” explained Adam.
“i am so grateful to you. I believe in you that Odessa is a tree spirit. But I am still worried to see if there will indeed be a lumberjack who will target Odessa”'s hornbeam tree, Johan replied.
“that's no problem” replied Adam.
“now, where are you going?” ask Johan.
“i would love to visit Riana on the lake. It is indeed very far from here” replied Adam.
“then, I will also go to the village to take Odessa back home. Again, I am very grateful to you so much, replied Johan.
“samely” replied Adam.
Johan immediately walked away leaving Adam there alone. At that time, Johan did not know if the lake guarded by Riana and the lake that was maintained by Adam was Jalesveva lake in the village of Engkobappe, the village where the Hornbeam tree belongs to Odessa. They wanted to go to a place that was right, but given Johan's ignorance, then they set out separately.
Johan ran towards the car of Mr. Abdi who was in the parking lot outside. Johan opened the car door and then shouted to the driver to leave immediately.
“ayo we fly!” johan shouted in the car.
But in fact, at that time Johan was in the wrong car. Johan opened someone else's car. The car contained a family who happened to stop by the park. Seeing a strange young man opening the door, they were all shocked by what he was doing.
“hey boy, who are you? Why did you open our car door?” ask the driver's father.
