"We go home, yes" said Ryuzen who then rose up carrying the body of his son, about to go back to the villa.
"But wait a minute!" Ryu who just wanted to move his legs, suddenly had to stop, because he heard the cry of Arvin who was now lying limp in his carrier. He looked at his son closely, waiting for what the little man he was actually trying to convey.
"What's Arvin doing?" Jason and Yoshiki were not left wondering.
"Why son, do you want to say something?" Ryuzen asked with a voice that sounded heavy but soft in tone.
"I'm asking for help..."
"Solicit please?" Ryuzen is increasingly curious about what Arvin really wants to reveal. Not much different from Ryu, his two best friends Jason and Yoshiki were also curious to make.
"But, Uncle Jason, Uncle Yoshiki I beg of you, so that when we get to the villa later, please keep this thing of mine a secret from mami."
This kid why...?
"But why is that?" Ask Jason.
"I just don't want my mom to know what really happened to me today. I was afraid that it would only make her sad, and feel guilty for thinking I couldn't take care of her. I don't want to worry him, if I know I almost drowned. Because it can interfere with his health and my sister-to-be. I don't want to make her sad."
"But are you...?"
"I beg you papi, and you uncle. Please don't tell this to mommy, please!"
"Then if Sara asks why are you soaking wet like this?"
"But take it easy, my intelligent brain already has the answer. What matters now is that Papi and my uncles have to promise me not to tell my mommy, Promise?" Arvin raised his little finger.
"All right I promise," Ryuzen nodded in understanding.
"You too, uncle?"
"Yes, we promise!" Yoshiki and Jason were the same, promising Arvin and nodding together.
"And now I want to ask you!"
"Ask what?" Arvin said with his innocent look that looks still limp.
"Who helped you when you were about to drown?" Ryuzen had been wondering who helped his son from the beginning. He thought, how could Arvin have survived this fast and deep river, without the help of other adults.
"On that matter, grrrr," Arvin tried to remember, unfortunately his body now looks more shivering with cold. Ryuzen, who was heartless and afraid that his son would get sick, eventually postponed his curiosity, and chose to immediately bring Arvin back to the villa.
**flashback off*
Ryuzen turned his head back towards his wife who was sitting next to the steering chair, looking at him gently, while stroking her white and soft cheeks.
"You don't have a lot of thoughts. I don't want you to be too tired and stressed."
Sara touched the back of Ryuzen's hand which caressed her cheek tenderly, and replied to her with her sweet smile."Yes, thank you Ryu.
I still can't tell Sara about Arvin who almost lost his life. Moreover, I was still curious about the person who had helped my son from death. I have to ask Arvin that question again without Sara knowing, I don't want to owe anyone anything.

Evening came, it was time for Arvin to clean and brush his teeth before finally going to bed. In the bathroom sink Arvin was standing while brushing his teeth. In front of the glass sink Arvin is beating himself who is now busy brushing his teeth. Arvin was reminded again of someone who had helped him earlier, when almost drowned washed away by the rushing river.
Arvin, who was too focused on chasing a beaver, apparently did not realize that he was far enough away from where he first came.
"God! I went too far just because of a beaver. I have to come back soon, otherwise you'll be worried about me."
Little Arvin remembered the road he had passed when he came here. But unfortunately, Arvin who had passed through the bushes to get to this place, even made himself somewhat confused with the route to return.
"Oh shit! I forgot my way home, bitch!" Said grumbling. But that didn't make him cry and cry.
Arvin's not his name if he doesn't know what to do.
The little man was inspired to climb a tree, so that he could see the route from above. After seeing a suitable tree, he immediately climbed a large tree that was old enough to be agile. After feeling high enough, he stopped and began to monitor the route from up there.
"Luckily, I'm good at climbing trees." Proudly Arvin admitted his climbing skills. From up there Arvin closely monitored the route that could lead him to the villa.
"Well, I know where to walk!"
Because he had found his route, the little man immediately rushed back down, himself who already knew where to go. After descending, Arvin immediately rubbed his palms against each other. It was done Arvin to make it easier to clean his dirty hands after coming down from the top of the tree.
Feeling his hands still feel dirty, Arvin decided to wash his hands first with river water, before finally leaving. Arvin carefully stepped on the rocks on the banks of the river. The little man squatted down and washed his hands with the flowing river water. Unfortunately, while washing his hands, he accidentally stepped on slippery rocks. Finally Arvin mired into the rushing stream. Arvin, who was carried away by the current, tried to survive by holding tightly to the rocks that were nearby. But alas, his body could not be too on the rock to withstand the swift currents of the racing river.
Me, not strong anymore! But I can't die silly this way! Even so, Arvin still continues to try to withstand the swift currents that hit it, as strong as he can do. Until finally the little man was really no longer able to survive. In the end he was carried away by the current to the downstream of the river that was getting deeper.
"PLEASE...! Help...! Who's ready please help!"
Arvin tried to make his head does not sink into the river water whose depth could be higher than the size of his height. His small body was carried away by the increasingly strong river currents, his head began to sink into the water whose depth clearly exceeded his height. Although he can swim, but Arvin's small body is unlikely to be able to withstand the swift currents that are increasingly fierce. Arvin is disappearing from the surface. He began to resign, his breathing also began to run out, because it was not strong enough to hold his breath any longer.
Will my life end here? If so, I will definitely not calm down, because I have not said goodbye to my mother, papi, and also my sister-to-be. Actually I don't want to die this way, because it's not cool. But unfortunately, I'm not as good as papi who can definitely get through this. I really no longer hold my breath, my body starts to numb, I...
Who'sis that? Arvin seemed to see a figure that he could not clearly see his face. The man pulled his body. Is he going to save me? The inner Arvin is still able to speak. But.. I'm no longer strong enough to survive in.
**flashback off**
After that, Arvin seemed to not remember what happened again.
Arvin doesn't know who helped him. Because when he began to wake up and can open his eyes, in front of him is the figure of the papi, Jason, and also Yoshiki.
At first I thought papi was the one who saved me, but when I realized his clothes were not wet at all, it was definitely not him who helped me.
"You want to keep brushing your teeth until toothless?" Ryuzen scolds Arvin, who seems to be daydreaming while brushing his teeth.
"Hump mppwpi?!" Said Arvin whose voice sounded unclear because his mouth was still full of toothpaste, surprised to see the papi came suddenly.
