Part 31Aid support

The sound of crickets makes this night not too quiet. Some of the night animals also began to exist noisily. From owls, or the shrill sounds of other insects. It's not something new to me. Because of the camping experience I had with Kak Rayi, Kak Bintang and Kak Roger first. Well, even though it ended up with a horror incident that I will never forget until now. Losing Brother Faza makes me not want to feel the loss of those closest to me anymore right now. So now I have to find Papa and the others. I'm sure they're still alive.

My phone's vibrating. Kak Rayi's message went in a row, I who was originally about to sleep suddenly re-opened my eyes wide. I smiled as I replied to a message from him, deliberately saving the battery by turning off the power. Because I don't know how long it's gonna be in the woods to find Papa. While I don't have a power bank that can help charge my phone.

I instantly turned my body around as the shadow of someone flashed behind the tent. Try not to cause any noise, and be alert to be around. Fortunately, the situation inside my tent would not be visible from the outside. Especially with a bonfire that is no longer burning, only leaving the former burning embers. Om Opon deliberately not much to look for firewood, because there is not much firewood around us.

I sit in slow motion. I was still silent, as I continued to sharpen my hearing. Find out who's outside. Maybe Om Opon, or Aunt Jean and Aunt Rani. Although it feels strange if they wander outside at this hour. I'm sure they will prefer to sleep so that tomorrow the condition of the body becomes fresher. Tomorrow's journey will not be easy.

The noise sounded more intense, due to the suniness of the circumstances tonight. Like there was a commotion outside, I who was curious then tried to peek from the gap of the small window that was near the door of the tent. A few shadows of people were seen outside. They didn't seem to be part of our group, as they wore headgear and left only the two eyeballs that kept wildly watching around.

The flames seemed to grow from one of the tents. I shut my mouth and looked for a tool I could use against them. We're surrounded. There were about 10 people around. Om Opon was pulled roughly out of his tent. Aunt Jean also fared the same, but still put up a fight when her hand was pulled out by force. Aunt Jean was unforgiving in repelling her opponents. Aunt Rani is crying hysterically. His body was lifted up and carried by one of the men. One of them pointed at my tent, I began to realize that I would be the next target. I retreated, preparing to attack anyone who would enter my tent.

A long sword drew out my tent and made the front tear. When one of them was about to enter, I immediately kicked him strong - strong. This provoked the anger of his accomplice friends. They flocked into my tent. They want to be as rude as their treatment of my friends. I kept hitting, and attacking them. The narrow conditions of the place made our movement quite difficult. Until finally the tent collapsed.

My hair is pulled rough. Even plowed to the ground. One of them is above me. He choked because I had managed to injure his right shoulder to the point of bleeding. The folding knife I had brought on was quite useful for disabling them. I kept trying to get away from the person, the giggles were excruciating and made it harder for me to breathe.

Suddenly someone hit the man on the head until he fell to the side of my body. I who had been free from the strangulation, coughing - coughing, breathing deeply - in order for my lungs that had run out of oxygen soon recovered.

"Bil, you're okay, what?" ask someone. His voice is very familiar, although my view is not entirely clear because it was suddenly blurry during the fight. My head was hit hard enough to even cause a hum in my ears. He squatted in front of me, and tried to help me sit down.

"Sir Rayi!" my screams with sparkling eyes. He smiled and hugged me tightly. "Cock Brother can be here?" ask me after releasing our embrace.

"Yes, I'm worried about you."

Some of the people who attacked us ran off the ridge. Not only did Brother Rayi come, it turned out that the two men I missed also came after me here. Brother Star and Brother Roger. Conditions have stabilized, even though our tents are all damaged. What matters is that our lives are still safe.

The bonfire was re-created. Brother Roger, Kak Bintang and Om Opon have finished making the tent brought by Kak Rayi. A fairly large tent, although not as luxurious as the last tent when we camped on the lake first. But at least we can take shelter in it until the morning.

"After you said you wanted to find your Papa, I was the same friends immediately decided to come here at that time. There are things that we want to talk to you about, straight away," explained Kak Rayi with a serious look.

"What is there to talk about?" I stared at them all in turn.

"But! You're the story!" kepas Kak Roger threw Kak Bintang with a snack that he was eating.

"What the hell is that? Star Brother?" I asked more impatiently.

"Gini Bil, yesterday there was something strange in our arena of competition. That taekwondo practice time two days ago."

"Freak stuff? That weird creature that means?" ask Aunt Jean who seems curious.

"No, Auntie."

"Then?"

"Yesterday we had a sparring event with another school, came a representative group from Laurenceville High School. You remember, if in our arena there are some photos of our members. Even your photo?"

"Well, after the game was over, we got to know each other and mingled between schools. There's one person who makes me curious, because he's standing right in front of your photo. Even after I noticed he was still there, keeping his eyes on the photo and not interested in the other one."

"In the meantime, the person you're talking about is a man?" ask Aunt Jean.

"Yes, aunt."

"Ah, have a crush on Nabila don't - don't," said Aunt Rani, lightly.

"That's it, aunt, out of curiosity I approached her. One sentence that came out of his mouth was strange, he said. 'So he's here?'. I'm still relaxed, because I assume he's Nabila's friend. Or acquaintance Nabila somewhere."

"...."

"Surprisingly he did not mention Nabila when he pointed at the photo. But Angelina."

"Ah, wrong look maybe. Or his acquaintance whose name is Angelina is similar to Nabila. In this world many people are similar" said Aunt Rani.

"That's what I thought at first. But it turns out I was wrong. He showed me a locket that was around his neck. There's a photo there. Photo Nabila with strange clothes, similar to the clothes of ancient Europeans. She said she was Angelina Demitri."

"Angelina Demitri?" muttered.

If it is just a similar face is not a strange thing anymore. Because in this world everyone has 7 twins spread all over the world. Maybe he's one of those seven.

"After that, he immediately asked where the owner of the photo was, you mean," Kak Bintang pointed at me. "I told you again permission to go out of town. Here lies another oddity, Bil. Because he knows you're in Borneo. He said you must be vigilant, the same figure whose name is Dagon. Because he was going to kill you."

"Dagon?!"

"Wait, who? Dagon?" ask Om Opon.

"Yes, Om. Dagon."

"God! No way," muttered Om Opon with a surprised face. "You know who they worship?" tanya Om Opon pointed at the forbidden area across. We were shaking because we didn't know. "Dagon!"

"What's? A dagon? You mean this Dagon is the same Dagon?" ask Brother Roger.

"I also heard a whisper from Nek Sanja, Om," I obviously tried to pull a red thread from some pieces of information and things I've been meeting.

"Whisper what?"

"My stall is in the same river Zahra, I feel like something is flying over us, big and I think it's a wild bird, but Grandma Sanja's showing up, he whispered and said the name. Honestly I don't know what it means, but after hearing all the stories Kak Bintang plus Om Opon information, it means that the creatures who are there, know me." I pointed to the place where the source of this matter occurred.

"Or was he on purpose? Making all this drama for Nabila to get closer to there?" ask Rayi with perfect analysis.
