Forever Young's
CHAPTER XXV Explore Bali

At the hotel restaurant where the students of class XI MIA I stay.

Nuna ate her chocolate jam bread quietly before the half-soaked bread was snatched by Rigel from her hand.

Rigel looked at Nuna while eating the bread in two bites. His eyebrows shot up to provoke Nuna.

Unfortunately Nuna ignored him as usual, and went from her seat to take another breakfast.

"Morning, Nuna, Rigel" said the Eagle who had just entered the restaurant with Joshua and Bimo.

"Morning," said Nuna.

"After, bro." Rigel took breakfast and sat down in front of Nuna.

The eagle, Bimo and Joshua sat at another table still close to them.

"Nuna.." call Rigel.

Nuna chewed on her bread and looked at Rigel in response to her call.

Rigel continued his breakfast without speaking any further, he was just staring at Nuna. Rigel finally finished his breakfast and grabbed Nuna's glass for a drink.

There was no response from the girl, Rigel did not give up and grabbed a glass of water that Nuna had just taken and drank again. This is repeated up to three times.

Nuna finally opened her voice, "I want to drink."

Rigel's lips curved upwards and he stretched out his glass, "Now." Rigel dodged when Nuna was about to pick it up, instead pointing the glass at Nuna's lips, "Drink."

Nuna knew that this teenager would continue to disturb her if she resisted, so she took a sip of water then sat in her place quietly waiting for instructions from the Class Chair.

The eagle saw that his friends had already finished breakfast, so he announced his travel plans today.

"For all, it's full and cute - cute. Are you all ready dong? Okay the car is already ahead, we are leaving now to the first destination, which is Green Bowl Beach. Make lo who still want to take the goods, hunt yes, we wait in front," said Elang.

Green bowl beach has white sand and green sea level located at the southern end of Bali Island, precisely in Ungasan. This beach is still hidden and rarely people know. To achieve this, tourists must descend around the three-step staircase that requires extra energy. But it does not discourage tourists to be able to enjoy the beauty of the beach.

After everyone was ready, the Eagle instructed to get into the car and set off.

Arriving there, they saw the sea below and looked at the stairs near them.

"Here we go down the stairs, Lang?"

"Yoi. Heart - heart ya gaes. Sometimes there are monkeys" replied the Eagle.

The students came down the stairs with hearts, including Nuna. Luckily, she wears long jeans that make it easy for her to move.

Several times they cross paths with other tourists, both local and foreign tourists. Some time later, they finally reached the last step of the stairs.

Nuna looked at the vast expanse of the sea and smelled a calming scent. Nuna recalled, she had read about where the scent of the sea came from. According to research, this distinctive marine scent comes from the unique compound Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) released by millions of algae in the sea. DMS is essential in guiding marine animals in search of food and also helps in the process of cloud formation that serves to increase rainfall.

Nuna enjoyed the scent of the sea she longed for a moment, before taking off her shoes and playing with the waves.

Rigel sees his friends getting dressed and plunging into the sea, but he has no intention of swimming with them and just stands under a tree staring at the rolling waves. No, rather looking at Nuna whose long hair fluttered in the wind, who stood on the beach and played with the waves.

After spending time on the beach, the Eagle led them up the stairs. The sun was up and it was time for lunch.

The breathing of the students became disordered as they were tired of playing and climbing many stairs. But they feel happy to be able to enjoy the greenish-blue beach, this is difficult for them to find in their residence.

Nuna rolled her hair up and she breathed a sigh of relief as her sultry neck was buffeted by the wind. He did not see the friend in front of him who stopped abruptly, causing him to retreat and fall into someone's embrace.

Rigel catches Nuna's body and encourages her to stand up again. "Lo heart-heart dong, I'm almost backwards and tweezers!"

"Sorry" said Nuna.

The girl in front of Nuna also turned her head and apologized to the two. He explained that he stopped because he was shocked to see a monkey passing by.

"It's okay" said Nuna.

The girl was relieved and they stepped back.

◼️◼️◼️

After lunch and rest, the group of XI MIA I students continued on to Tanah Lot.

Tanah Lot is derived from the word land or land and lot has the meaning of sea so that Tanah Lot is interpreted as land in the middle of the sea. Tanah Lot is in Tabanan Regency which takes two hours drive from the restaurant where they had lunch.

Arriving there, the Eagle frees his friends to split up and asks them to gather again at night in an approved place.

Rigel separates himself from his classmates and walks with Nuna entering the entrance gate. Both then checked the tickets. After that they entered the Art Market which is a place to shop for tourists.

Rigel stopped by one of the stalls and looked - look at the souvernir for sale. He recalled the members of the Eternal Squad and bought them key chains of various shapes.

Nuna beside him also held a colorful-patterned t-shirt and felt the cold material. He bought two for her and Nino.

Rigel then took turns looking at the hat on the stall and the clear blue sky. He decided to buy a hat to protect his head from heat stroke.

Finish paying them out of that stall.

"Wear it" Rigel said, putting a hat on Nuna's head and pressing it.

Nuna confirmed the location of the hat covering her eyes, then looked up at Rigel, "Thank you."

Rigel did not retaliate and began to step away until the two reached the spacious garden. Rigel went around the park followed by Nuna and took some scenic photos.

Rigel, who was satisfied with the photos he got, continued the journey to the main object, Tanah Lot. He saw many tourists scattered in the surrounding environment.

The clock shows at 17:40 WITA, Rigel brought Nuna to find a strategic location. Soon the sun will set and Rigel can't wait to hunt for photos again.

Rigel stared in satisfaction at the screen of his phone, then glanced at Nuna and saw Nuna looking at the beautiful sunset with the orange sky, her hair that was scattered in the wind, adding aesthetics to the side profile of her beautiful face.

Rigel took a still picture of Nuna. However he wanted to take a picture of his face as a whole so he called out his name.

"Miss."

Nuna turned her head and saw Rigel photographing her.

Rigel put his phone in his pocket as if nothing had happened, "Let's go to the children's quarters."

Nuna nodded and did not blame Rigel's actions. The two get together with their classmates.

At 18.30 WITA, the MIA I XI class group with other tourists watched the Kecak Dance performance at Tanah Lot tourist attractions.

After the show was over, the Eagle led them to get back in the car and go to dinner.
