Friend's Choice Lover
37. Yellow Line 3 (lodge )

Fiya looked to his right and left carefully. And walk alone. Dimas and the others followed suit as well.

"Fiya, did you see anything?" ask Dimas worriedly.

"I warn you, multiply your attention and be careful."

They nodded in understanding with the words Fiya said.

"Then, Mr. Alvin, how is he?"

"I'm sure he's trapped and taken somewhere. We'll look for him while looking for the members of group 5."

They searched until maghrib arrived. There was no sound of Adzan singing in the forest. They also decided to pause while building an emergency tent.

...*****...

The members of group 5 finally found an old cottage.

"Lumayan, there is a cottage, although old but can make shelter" said Gilang.

Ayu's hand pulled Gilang's. The steps of his friends also stopped when Gilang also stopped.

"Don't go in."

"There's nowhere else. It's getting dark, at least we find a place to take shelter" he said.

"But-but.."

"Don't be afraid. Let's go in."

They nodded and entered the small cottage. Ayu's hand trembled, Gilang who saw her reassured her with a gesture and clasped her hand.

They piled up the medicinal plants outside the hut and sat on the terrace. Bagas chose to sit in front of the door, but when rendering his body, the door suddenly opened.

"Ouch.."

"Be careful Bagas."

"The door is old, so open it yourself. But.. Look deh temen-temen, the cottage is quite good, not serem-serem very. But unfortunately the stench." said Bagas.

"Repid smell?" ask Vella and Daisy to be curious.

"Of course."

Bagas then closed the door again. Ayu and her friends chose to sit down and straighten their legs. Clearly unclear, there was the sound of people humming. Ayu who heard it immediately looked to her right and left.

"You hear something?" ask Ayu.

"No, most crickets" said Bagas.

"No, not crickets, rather people hum. Time is not tenuous." said Ayu reassuringly.

"Don't kidnap us Yu" Daisy said firmly.

"Srstttt..."

Gilang hinted at his friends to be quiet, and they followed. The voice became more and more like someone crying.

"There's a cry, but where?" ask Bagas.

"Eitherway. Let's find out, who knows if there's a lost child."

They rise, though they are covered with fear. Ayu only followed the men while looking at the side of the house, but found nothing.

"Nothing, let's go back."

Bagas turned his body. His body began to feel trembling in addition to his standing hair. Gilang who saw Bagas began to retreat directly to hold his hand.

"Eh.. Why are you dumb?" tanya Gilang was confused.

"That-that's.."

They looked back and it turned out that there was a figure in white clothes full of blood and half of his face was covered in long and dense hair, and half of his pale face was also blood flowing from his eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!"

Everyone shouted and ran as hard as they could until they entered the old hut.

...******...

Fiya heard a scream in the magrib. Fiya immediately turned to the voice he heard.

Dimas looked at Fiya's gaze, as did Aldi who was sitting in front of the tent on fire

"No, what did you hear?" ask Dimas.

"I heard a scream, but where it came from. I have to find him."

Dimas immediately draws Fiya's hand before Fiya leaves. Fiya threw out Dimas' hand violently.

"We're close to them Dimas, why are you preventing me?"

"It's Khanza's night, we should rest" Aldi said.

"In this forest, the night will never end. It's free for us to spend the night here, see what time you are, what time is it?"

Aldi looked at the watch on his wrist and saw it and rightly his watch was not working.

"Hows it? Functioning? No-no. Here a lot of negative auras are blocking the positive energy that goes in this forest. I don't know for what, but it's still a mystery."

"Fiya, it's best to be right, now follow our word. We spend the night here. We'll continue again tomorrow. Don'worry. You remember what you said, stay positive and pray. So you also have to be patient" said the Sports teacher.

"It's good sir."

"Would you rest in the tent, we would stand guard outside" Aldi said.

"No, we all need to rest" Fiya said.

"I will accompany you, the tent door is left open" said Dimas.

"No, I want to be here with you guys. It's not fair that I'm the only one who's resting."

"Yes, it's up to you."

Fiya sat in the middle between Dimas and Aldi. Until nightfall, Fiya began to sleepy and unknowingly fell asleep on the shoulders of Dimas. Fiya slept while bending his cold knees. Dimas would take off his jacket, but Aldi preceded him.

"Don't move, she'll wake up."

Dimas nodded and confirmed the jacket that enveloped Fiya's body. The sports teacher who saw it, was only able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your friends are very stubborn and brave. Have responsibility and ethics, and enjoy helping others, without thinking about himself even if he is in danger. I'm sure you two must have had a taste for him. But, I warn you not to let one of you hurt each other, because the first person to be hurt is.. You know for yourself. You warn me that." said the sports teacher.

Dimas and Aldi just digested the words of the gym teacher, while looking at Fiya who was asleep on Dimas' shoulder.

...*****...

Without Ayu and her friends noticing, the morning had arrived. They fell asleep in the hut, sleeping on the floor of a dirty room.

"Where are we?" ask Ayu who is conscious.

His friends who heard him woke up. They were shocked when they were no longer afraid.

"Why are we so dirty? What we did last night." said Daisy.

Gilang is also conscious and has found Mr. Alvin leaning against an old wooden fence.

"Well, Mr. Alvin is it."

They all immediately got up and looked towards the side of Gilang. They all stood up and woke Mr. Alvin.

"Sir.. Mr. Alvin.." said Gilang.

Mr. Alvin woke up, but with a blank look. Mr. Alvin woke up and made Gilang and the others confused. Bagas and Vella also suddenly woke up blankly. They came out of the room. Gilang, Ayu and Daisy follow them secretly.

"I don't think they're conscious" Daisy said.

"St..."

They were silent and lurking behind the fence. Mr. Alvin, Bagas and Vella sat at an old table. Before long an old grandmother came to serve food for them.

"You don't have to hide, let's eat together" said the old grandmother.

The three of them who were still conscious immediately turned around and entered the room where they had just built.

"What should we do?" ask Ayu confused.

"Pretend to sleep, hurry."

They sat down and pretended to sleep. The old grandmother came and just smiled, then closed the door again.
