#24 Hiking
Lily blinked her eyes even after coming out of the bathroom to wash her body and put on a uniform. Cherryl was sitting at the dresser and getting ready to go to school.
"I'm so sleepy, Cher" said Lily and sat on the edge of the bed wearing her tie.
Cherryl nodded softly, "Sama, but how else."
After that, the two took a bag and went out for breakfast. But Cherryl grinned when he saw a backpack near the sofa.
"Mother, who's the backpack?" ask her to Mother Sena who sits on the sofa while watching television.
"Ohh that's Angga's. Same Rina is also ready, they want to go hiking he said, invited Alex." he replied.
Cherryl rounded his eyes, "Well, don't jump!"
"Lo school, Dek." said Anggara who was at the top end of the stairs, just going down.
"Yes but– Ih ngeselin really. Why must be Monday anyway Abangg.." suluk Cherryl who immediately got a soft elusan on the shoulder by Lily.
"Yes gatau, do not sulk later when we make our own event. And Lily, too, Ly?" reply Anggara again as he went down the stairs and approached the mother and sat next to her.
"Eh, yes Mas." said Lily quickly.
Cherryl pinched her lips and she invited Lily to breakfast first at the dinner table. Mother Sena has cooked quite a lot today, evoking the tastes of the two hungry girls.
On the other hand Irina who had finished packing directly down and approached the sister and called Alex to ask when and where to gather.
After that, the two say goodbye to Mother and Cherryl, as well as Lily and then went to Sanjaya's family home to pick up Vallerine. Unfortunately, Rebecca chose to stay at home and did not come because she felt unwell. Of course they fucked him.
At about half-seven they reached their destination and immediately gathered with the others. Irina also approached Alex and they hugged for a moment because they had not been able to see each other for long enough. Anggara tried to invite Vallerine to chat so that things did not become awward, although on the other hand he intended to find out more about the figure of his idol.
"I'm so excited for this." said Vallerine as he looked at Anggara sitting next to him.
The guy smiled, "Either do I."
"Is that Rina's boyfriend?" ask Vallerine again, then point at Alex who is standing opposite Irina.
"He's Alex, Rina's fiance."
the girl widened her eyes, "Fiance?" he said then nodded slowly.
"Okay friends, because it's been on the gathering all d isini we'll start the show. First of all I will know myself, my name is Bayu. I will lead you, ngeguide you." said a man who had gone up on a rock to be seen by everyone.
"So, there were twenty-six people in total. Before leaving, you must have all your stuff complete. Pas hiking also need to keep stick together and take care of each other. We begin with prayer according to each other's beliefs, prayer begins."
"Let's pray" whispered Anggara to Vallerine who immediately lowered his head like the others.
The situation became silent for a moment, everyone focused on their respective prayers.
"Pray is done."
"Sip now please prepare your belongings. We want to walk. Please take care of your words, friends. And there are some of us who are hiking for the first time so please get his guidance." Bayu added again then they all got together and started walking.
Anggara began to re-explain some of the things that had been said by Bayu when they joined the group. Of course because Vallerine doesn't understand it. The guy narrowed his eyes when he heard some other guys talking about Vallerine, he immediately held the girl's arm and stood in front of her.
"Let me," he said, reaching out to justify the beanie the girl was wearing.
Vallerine cleared her throat slowly and turned her gaze in another direction, "T-thanks" he said after Anggara finished.
"You're welcome."

An hour and a half had passed, many began to complain and the group decided to rest for a while. They take their respective places and fill the body fluids with the water carried. Today their schedule is just visiting the waterfall, not getting to the top because it does not seem possible in less sunny weather like today. After all, they do not bring a tent or bedding if for example there is an obstacle to return to schedule.
Anggara helps Vallerine to drop the girl's bacpack to the ground after they return for about an hour and reach the waterfall area.
"Huff...It's been a long time since the last time I do this." said the girl then downed her drinking water, as well as Anggara.
Bayu voiced again so that they keep their respective bags in the chosen place and gather at the edge of the waterfall for a briefing.
"Now we have reached the waterfall. You can have fun, photos or want to do whatever you want but I remind you again that we have to be careful. Do not be rash and increase the possibility of unwanted things happening. Okay well? Later according to the schedule we will gather again and keep getting ready to return. Take your time guys! said the man then they all returned to spend to do their respective activities.
Vallerine took the camera out of his bag and invited Anggara to explore around the waterfall before joining the others. Of course the guy complied and was happy because of it.
"E-eh, be careful" Anggara said swiftly reaching out to the girl who almost slipped because of the moss on the rocks.
Vallerine reached Anggara's hand and stepped carefully, after which he began taking pictures while Anggara watched from behind.
"Oh, Angga!" vallerine then told the boy to come closer.
"It's a snail!" his dream again then reached out to take a snail that walked slowly on the leaves and thrust it at Anggara.
"Can you please hold it for a minute? I want to take a picture."
The man clasped his index finger and thumb to hold the snail while Vallerine took a picture of both.
"Hahaha, are you afraid?" ask the girl and laugh and take back the snail.
Actually Anggara is not afraid, it's just...Little ticklish. I don't know, from a long time ago he never liked animals like that. Let alone earthworms, far away from his life.
But he shook his head slowly, "No, I'm not" he said evasively.
Vallerine just shook her shoulders and turned and resumed her search. Anggara who had been silent since then finally exhaled and stretched out his hand to hold Vallerine's arm that was staring at him.
"I need to tell you something."
TBC.
