That night, Typhoon and Arif decided to investigate a large building that only saw the roof from the hill where they spent the night. Under the dim moonlight, the two walked down the descending path. This is the path that Bowo and his men used this afternoon. 

After spending two roasted wild chickens. Now both get the energy that may be needed at any time. With a leisurely walk, they tell stories ngalor ngidul. Against the gripping silence of the night. Occasionally the wind made the trees rub against each other and made a frightening sound.

     "I'm scared, Pan" said Arif slowly. His face was directed upwards, looking for the origin of the sound that made the fur on his nape stand up.

     "Swimming Rif. It was just the sound of trees rubbing" replied the Typhoon trying to calm its comrade. Inevitably, his face went to look for the origin of the sound.

     kuuuakkk.... !!

Occasionally the crow's voice rang out between the sound of wind rustling and the sound of tree friction. The darkness of the night increasingly makes Arif stricken with anxiety.

     "What if we get caught, Pan ?" said Arif again. The storm just kept silent not answering.  Stared at his friend's face with an annoyed expression.  But he tries to be patient. 

Now they both sit under a shady tree. No one's talking. The eyes of the two who moved here and there. Only darkness is visible.

     "So you said you agreed, if we go investigate the building" Typhoon opened the conversation. His hand occasionally grabbed a pebble and then threw it . 

     "Yes Pan. Inexplicably why arrived - suddenly there was a sense of worry " replied Arif slowly.

     "Yes already. We cancel it" cried Typhoon indifferently.

     "Next time we go there. I'm sure there's a big secret inside the building" he said. Arif just nodded slowly. The two return to their respective minds.

For a long time they were silent, no one spoke. Until some flashlight highlight disperse the daydream of both. 

     "There are people !" exciting Typhoon. His hands showed a flashlight that was getting closer. 

     "They're heading here, Pan" answered Arif in fear. His face was panicked. Unexpectedly, he tried to get up and run away. Typhoon who realized Arif's actions could be dangerous, immediately prevented by him.

     "Don't run, they'll see us" Typhoon said. His hand went to the back of the tree to hide.

     "Stay down and don't make a sound" Typhoon said again. The darkness of the night made it easier for them to hide among the reeds. Meanwhile, some people were walking closer and closer.

     "Sial is right my fate !" said one of them. His hand held a flashlight that continued to be directed in all directions. His steps slowed down as the chatter grew more intense. 

     "Damn why ?" replied friend. His interlocutor's face is waiting for an answer.

     "I've been granted leave by Bowo. Eeee. How is that not shit his name ?" 

    "What is the reason ?" 

     "Say, Boss Jhoni canceled all leave permits that had been acc."

     "A leave is our right, why can't it be ?" 

     "I told you so too.." 

     "then ... ?" 

     "Bowo said, since two teenagers from that town roamed this island, five of our friends have died." 

     "Indeed, those two teenagers killed our five friends?, Taste - it feels impossible !"

     "Indeed, I also doubt the two teenagers did. But boss Jhoni doesn't care.  Bowo's ultimatum has to find both teens."

     "And now all personnel are deployed to search for them until they can. Including you, hehehe...." 

     The two continued walking in the dark of the night. Typhoon and Arif are keeping an eye on their movements. Just in case, Typhoon prepared with his poisonous chopsticks. While Arif grasped the dagger, even though his hand trembled.

     "This haggard, Pan ? " ask Arif whispering. His eyes glanced towards the two people who were walking away. Their conversation was disappearing as they walked further and further away.

     "Silent. They're gone" said Typhoon, calming his friend. Both are busy with their own thoughts.

     "I miss my mother, Pan" said Arif breaking the silence.

     "Sama Rifs. I miss my parents too."

The two teenagers spent the night there. Fighting the cold of the night and the bites of forest insects became commonplace.

     Toktoctok... ! 

     "Come in. !" jhoni exclaimed with a fluffy smile. No more asking who is out there. 

     "Boss called me ?" ask Sulis. A young woman who works as a cook in the area. His face was down, a little groggy. 

     "Yes Sulis. There's something I want to tell you" replied the old man before him. 

     "About what boss ?" answer Sulis curiously. His mind wandered far away. Thinking about the attitude of big boss Jhoni who was so cruel and cruel to anyone. But if faced with him, Sulis like finding a father figure.

     "You think you work here, Sulis ?" ask Jhoni. His net was fixed on looking at the young lady's face before him. 

     "Hardness bosses" Sulis replied with a slightly forced smile.

     "Thank God then. It's not in vain that I brought you to this place."

     "But I always remember mom, boss."

     "alright. Later will arrange so you can meet him" replied Jhoni flatly. His memory turned backwards. When the days are so happy. But happiness is not obtained from the wife.

     "Really boss.... ?" asked Sulis enthusiastically. Now it was clear that an aura of joy was emanating from her beautiful face. A beautiful smile was engraved on her thin lips.

     "C.iii. I promise ! " excited boss Jhoni when he woke up from his daydream. Instantly he was amazed by the smile of the young lady before him.

     "Your smile is very similar to her" said boss Jhoni again in a soft voice. But Sulis still had time to hear the words of the man in front of him, although not sure.

     "I mean boss.... ?"  

     "Whata?, that's it. It doesn't matter "answer Jhoni in surprise.

     "Then I go back to the kitchen. It's time to deliver the children's rations."

     "alright. Be careful with them. Because a person who loses hope of life can do anything !" exclaim boss Jhoni reminded. Replied with a nod and a smile. But in his heart, he disagreed. He rushed out and headed for the kitchen. Ratna was busy preparing for everything.

Boss Jhoni resumed his daydreaming. The memory of his head recalled a woman who had once filled his heart. But the daydream stopped when the phone rang. Shortly after, he had a conversation with someone.

     "Hallo, boss... "

     "Yes. What's up ?. You just interrupt !" 

     "Looky boss. Looks like we've been spied on."

     "Are you sure ?"

     "Related boss. That night there was a young man who asked his sister" 

     "Who is that young man ?" 

     "I don't know him, boss."

     "What do you want ?"

     "We need the help of the boss, so that all our operations run smoothly" said someone across the street who is none other than Jarot. For a long time he did not hear the answer from his interlocutor, other than a sigh.

     "alright. But remember ... !" 

     "What's the boss ?" 

     "Once again you fail, your lives bet !" 

     "Every boss !" 

     "And one more !" 

     "What else is boss  ?"

     "You guys are in action soon. The stock is starting to thin." 

     "Ready. Don't worry boss !" answer Jarot. 

     "Good !" exclaim boss Jhoni. After the handpbone is turned off, again he continues the interrupted daydream. Daydreams about her unexpected love story. Slowly but surely the net began to burn. 

With his body lying on an old bed. Where he always has nightmares. Dreams about his childhood come back to haunt him through pieces of sad and painful stories.
