6 Months later
In the valley on the edge of the middlemist village of Alan, Ivan, and Rea were dividing the tasks with each other.
"Iwana... You come with me, we find a rabbit. Rea, you gather fruits and make a bonfire." Alan gave instructions to both of his friends.
Rea went straight to the riverbank to collect fruits. Ivan and Alan go into the forest to hunt rabbits. Alan carries an arrow and a knife while Ivan carries a net and a machete.
"Sstt... Don't move!" Prevent alan.
Ivan was immediately silent sculpting, instructions from Alan certainly not without reason, because Ivan knew very well that Alan was very reliable in hunting.
"Is there a quarry around here?" Brisque Ivan.
"Not... Looky... The wolf's footprints.when viewed from the trail they are not far away, numbering 3 tails." replied Alan slowly.
Ivan immediately goosebumps, even though the wolf only 3 tails, but now he's just alone with Alan. Of the number is clearly lost.
"We went up to that tree. Avoiding the wolf coming back."
Ivan nodded and immediately climbed a tree nearby.
Sure enough, from the top of the tree can be seen there are 3 wolves are eating a rabbit about 200 meters from them.
"Nearly... If only we had just kept walking forward we could have been attacked by the wolf" whispered Ivan.
Alan just nodded, he was busy picking up leaves from the tree. pulverizing them and applying them to his hands and feet.
"What are you doing Alan?" ask Ivan.
"Cover up our smell. The smell of wolves is so sharp. Quickly do what I do." Alan orders Ivan.
they both hid until the three wolves left.
"Whoops... It's secure. Let's continue looking for rabbits." Alan while descending from the top of the tree. Ivan followed behind him.
The two of them searched around where the wolf had eaten earlier because the wolf could get a rabbit in that place.there must have been a rabbit nest around that place.
"Alan look! There's a rabbit's nest in there." Point aivan at a hole in the grass-covered ground.
Alan came to see the nest. "Good... From the direction of the grass bend, there was a rabbit inside. Let's just go fishing."
Alan took out the carrot and rope from his small bag. Lubricate him a little and give him some water. The water was put into the hole so the rabbit could smell it. They hid in a rock close to the hole.
"Van.. prepare your net!" Alan's orders
Ivan nodded then prepared to throw the net when the rabbit was spotted.
5 Minutes, 10 minutes the rabbit hasn't come out yet. Ivan grew bored and relaxed his vigilance, but Alan remained on standby.
It was only after 20 minutes that the rabbit came out. Slowly approach the carrot bait.
"Now Van!"
Ivan who was surprised by the aba alan who arrived suddenly threw his net.as a result his net was not maximally spread.The rabbit could avoid the net and run into the grass.
"Ahh. sorry Alan..."
Alan did not speak of Ivan. He quickly pulled his bow, aiming towards the rabbit's run.
Siiu..... Jamb...
Kik kik kik
the screams of the rabbits sounded. Alan immediately ran over to the rabbit.
"It's a good thing you quickly shot at lan. If it can't zonk us."
Alan was just gawking with his best friend. If only Ivan wasn't careless it would have been easier to catch the rabbit.
Arriving in the valley saw smoke from the campfire. Rea looks to be cutting fruits.
"How long you guys?" Grouser rea.
"Sorry rea? We met a wolf."
"Ah... The wolves are afraid."
Alan and Aivan gawk at the words of Rea. aini wolf men... Who is not afraid.
"Already have... I'll clean the meat first." Alan immediately walked to the small river beside the valley.
After the meat is cleaned they burn the rabbit's meat. Rea twisted the meat so that the maturity can be evenly distributed. After they are cooked they eat greedily. The enjoyment of rea cuisine has indeed been tested for a long time. Plus the atmosphere of grassland and breeze as cool, really add to the enjoyment of meal time.
Finished eating the three of them sleeping in the meadow, looking at the blue sky and enjoying the breeze. This atmosphere will really make anyone feel at home for a long time.
"Lane.... Have you made a choice for your college?" Ask Rea who's still sleeping next to alan.
"Had..."
"Where?" Ivan sahut.
"Mediterranean University. I had a consultation yesterday with the guidance counselor, and they advised me to go to college there. They said the agricultural technology department there was good."
"Mediterranean? Hmm...." Ivan nodded while rising from his sleep
"Why?"
"That's a long way off. You have to leave this village means yes?" Ivan answered with a lethargic face.
"Yes... That's how it is, if you're Rea?" Alan tried to shift the conversation after seeing Ivan's lethargic face.
Rea did not answer. But instead rose from his sleep and took out a letter.
"You'll see for yourself." Said Rea proudly.
Alan immediately rose from his sleep and answered the letter. Ivan went to read the letter.

Hoffard University***
"Hoff... Hoff... Hoffards? " Alan and Ivan are in unison like a choir.
"Why? Can't believe?" Ketus Rea's.
actually Rea wanted to say this to her friend from yesterday. But always fail to find the right moment.
"Ahh...it seems like only I will remain in this village." said Ivan lethargic.
the atmosphere became silent after Ivan's words. Ivan was the first of 4 children. His family has been living passan this long. Ivan was certainly self-conscious not to continue to burden parents by demanding to go to college. Even in his heart Ivan wants to immediately be able to work to help raise his three younger siblings.
"Calm Van... We're both definitely back.My goal of taking up agricultural technology is to advance agriculture in our village." Entertain Alan to Ivan.
"real Van... My goal is the same. I want our village not to be left with the outside world as it is now." Added Rea.
"Thank you both. You are really like brothers to me." Ivan was moved by his two best friends.
"We are Van's brothers... From then on, now and forever the three of us are brothers." Alan held the hands of his two best friends.
"Really... We're brothers forever."
