23. 30 years later...

What did you say?" ask Haga with the body that has now fallen to the ground. Hope is gone. His attempt to save Amanda is gone. Because Manda is gone forever. Manda is gone. He sacrifices himself to get Amon back into his eternal prison.

Silent mood. The well that bore witness to their struggle is now covered with stones that appear out of nowhere. Haga approached and tried to find a gap to open the object. She panicked as she cried calling Amanda's name.

While Habibi sat down just like that. His strength was still there but his confidence had faded. He knew that to save Amanda back would be very difficult, even impossible.

Habibi let Haga cry for a while. The forest was no longer as terrifying as before. It was as if the demons and demons had vanished like Ammon returning to his eternal prison. A few minutes passed, Haga had started to calm down. Even if she was crying, but no screams were made. Haga was getting tired, also desperate. Habibi then got up and walked limped towards Haga who was sitting leaning behind the well.

Haga hid her face between her knees. Habibi squatted down in front of Haga, patting the young man on the shoulder to strengthen him. "Manda, Bib! The mandanda! It's free for us to come here, if we don't get Manda home."

"...." - ".Habibi was silent, breathing deeply. Agreeing to Haga's words but he didn't admit it in front of the young man.

"So we have to do it now! There's no other way to open this fucking door!" Omel Haga while hitting the circle-shaped rock. Haga stared at the well, and remained silent. He was at a loss as to what to say to Haga for the young man to understand the situation they were in right now.

"Can't, Ga. That door will not open again. For me or you. We won't be able to open it. The door is sealed so that what is inside will not be able to come out, and vice versa. Even if we can open it, I doubt the result will be good. Manda's body is already under Amon's control. Moreover, I see, the original Manda's soul has begun to fade. It was difficult to return Manda's soul back into her body. I'm sure Manda knows the situation too. That's why he sacrificed like that. Because Ammon had to return to his eternal prison, Manda took that path."

"No! This is not fair! Why did Manda have to sacrifice! Why should he? He's got to be shackled forever with Amon? I see, right?"

Habibi went back to silence, only to stare at Haga who was starting to get emotional again. He pointed to the well and was asking Habibi for an explanation for something that did not enter his logic.

"Ga ... I can only say that this is fate. Manda's holy soul can be Amon's way out, and finally the soul also makes the devil go back in there. It is hard, but this is the path of his destiny. We have to be sincere. I am sure that God will not allow Manda to live in that cursed place with the demon of the curse."

"Thus ... Where is Manda? Where the hell is he?"

"Gue was sure, he was placed in a beautiful and worthy place by his side. Especially after all the Manda sacrifices all along. God loves him more than we do, Ga. You have to be sincere. Let Manda be happy there."

"Lo sure you're talking, Bib? Can you guarantee that Manda won't be with Amon there? Crazy one! Poor him! That is until he spent his entire life living with that demon!"

Habibi. He looked up. Staring at the sky which was slowly starting to emit a bright light. The bright spot was originally small. But over time it became a circle that penetrated into the well near them. "Ga ... You see that?" habibi asked pointing to the light.

Haga turned her head and glared because she saw the same thing as Habibi. From within the stone door that closed the well, came a figure they were familiar with. He wears white wings like an angel, with a crown on his head.

"Manda??!" pekik Haga and Habibi together.

Manda came out of the well with another appearance. The figure of Manda is glowing. He smiled looking at Haga and Habibi. "You don't have to worry. I'm fine. I'm sorry if I can't come back. My time in this world is over. I'm going first. Take good care of yourself. And Haga ... Ii'm sorry. I have to go again to leave you. You have to continue your life. Keep Hasya good. Be a good father to him. Bib ... Thanks for everything. You are my best friend. Goodby. Kelak ... If given the chance, I will come back again, with another figure. Good bye."

Manda's soul continued to rise to the top. Following the light beam it came from. Haga and Habibi could not even say. But when Manda disappeared, Haga regained consciousness, and screamed to call the woman's name. Haga cried while prostrating on the damp ground in front of her. He hit the ground and called Manda. This time Habibi let it go. Because he wants to do the same. Habibi's heart ached, seeing Manda really go. But Habibi smiled as he looked up at the sky. "May you be happy there, man."

30 Years passed.

"Rre ... You brought another drink, didn't you? I asked for dong," said Apri with a clear look.

"There was. Nih," said Rea who immediately grabbed a drinking bottle that was beside her keril bag.

"And, take a break. Poor Apri nih, exhausted." Diah who followed staring at Apri could only see him pity. The ten of them are exhausted. The journey to the next post is quite steep and winding. But for two hours, they had not found the fifth post.

"OK deh. Let's take a break first" Dana said. Dana is the team leader appointed by the coach. So he's the one in charge and the one in charge of leading the line.

One team consists of 10 people. They were freshmen at a private university in the Capital. As a prefix to welcome new students, the campus held camping and outing class activities in a forest in the Kalimantan region. The event is themed Educational camp.

Educational camp is an educational program involving nature-based experiences and adventures (adventure learning base) for children and adolescents. Educamp activities include camping, journey and adventure activities, forest and river ecosystem education, as well as educational games to build individual character, leadership, teamwork and independence.

The educational camp program is a learning program that is organized outdoors, involving nature-based experiences. Participants will participate in various adventure challenges such as hiking, forest trekking, river surfing, waterfall tours, regional biodiversity observations and educational and recreational games.

A series of activities that start with the orientation of the region and end with planting trees as a symbol of evidence of devotion to the environment, which is, it is an educational program flow based on the “adventure-based learning” model in which physical activity, emotion and thought almost dominate each session in the flow of activities. The builder chose Kalimantan forest because he wanted to introduce the actual forest atmosphere to the participants. The entire group consisted of 200 people. Divided into several departments. Each department will be divided into three to 4 groups.

They sit on a tree trunk or rocks that are around. Some started to take out their ammo. Mineral water or small food. Sweat flooded their faces. Although the atmosphere of the forest is quite shady, but with a heavy burden on the back, as well as a long trip certainly makes them tired. Moreover, not everyone is a team of nature lovers, who have a physical that is ready for a trip up the mountain or exploring the forest.

"Are we straying, huh?" leni asked as she wagged the hat in front of her face.

"Don't do it! Our time has not come yet! The senior said the distance to the next post was not more than an hour. How many hours have we tried?" sahut Ita agrees.

"Which way, Dan?" Rea was curious. Because the statements of his friends could be true.

Dana opened the Map that senior had given as a guide. There were about five posts, and they had already gone to four others. Now there is only the last post. But they just didn't arrive.

"Should have come here. Look at the compass, right? North?" dana asked while showing her compass to Rea. They discussed while paying attention to the map that Dana brought.

"Truly so. But it hasn't arrived yet. Isn't that last post a sign we're done, huh? So there must be a lot of people, right? Senior is also another group that has arrived first?"

"hey are. But since then ... We don't see any other group, do we? Or am I not seeing them?" Dana looked at Rea, and the long-haired girl simply raised both of her shoulders upwards.

"Obviously we're the only members in sight."

"Where? Which way should we go?"

"Nyasar right?" ask Hana and Hani, as identical twins. So that they can be easily recognized.

"Where was the afternoon again, Dan. Should we make a tent? Look at the others, they are tired. I don't think they will be able to continue the journey anymore" Hani pointed out.

Dana, Rea, and Hana stared at the other friend. Then Blendoz, whose real name is Redha, approached. "Apri wants to faint. His face was very pale. Let's take a break first. I won't carry him."

"Yes, Dan. Maybe we're strong again, but not necessarily they can. And we can't possibly stay here either, right?" ask Hana.

"Hm, yes I have. We set up a tent. While waiting who knows there's another team passing by."

"Agreed!" Blendoz returned to the other team, and gave Dana instructions. As a result they look carefree when holding a tent that is deliberately prepared since the beginning of the activity. They are not nature lovers. And this event is one of the most awaited activities, because simple ideals will be realized. They set up a tent in the middle of the forest.

There were two big tents that they had set up. One tent is for men, and the other tent is for women. They deliberately brought tents that were quite large in size and fit for all of them. Their supplies and equipment are quite complete. Because they don't play with this activity. Especially with the background of Kalimantan forest that is quite lush, making them have to prepare with all the possibilities that will happen later.

In that team only the men who are a team of nature lovers. They all came from the same school. While the women only like to take part if there is camping activity. Dana set up a tent assisted Fauzan. While Blendoz and Hani help the tent of the women. Pretty good cooperation, and Hana's job is to find firewood.

Day is up in the afternoon. The forest began to look dark. Even many meters away, they were walking in the same place. Can't see the sky from where they are now. The atmosphere is humid, making the air around become cooler. They need fire to warm their bodies. Also to cook later.

"Ndoz! This will collapse, won't it? Strong, right?" asked Diah, while inspecting the tent they were going to occupy.

"Well, yes it's strong! Unless there's a bull sitting down, it's just been destroyed!"

"Ih. Is there a bull?" apri asked with her innocent look.

"Yes could be. It is a wilderness. There's bulls, affairs, tigers, snakes, lions, elephants ...."

"Hust! Ngawur! There's nothing, Pri! Lies."

"Eh, don't believe it. But ...." Diah followed Blendoz to keep her mouth shut. Because among them all only Apri was the coward.

"Ndoz! Help Hana aja yuk, the fire is not a flame!" point at Diah, then draw the hand of the fat man into the middle. Hana was still busy preparing the bonfire. But since then he always seemed to fail to make the fire burn.

"Where, Han? Can't do?" ask Diah.

"Difficult! Wet all these same leaves stems! The forest is closed. Until the sun can't get in here!" Hana serocos is upset.

"Try to find another dry leaf. We're splitting up!" blendoz.

They are all busy with their own activities. Searching for firewood is one of the difficult jobs, so everyone should be involved. But considering Apri was exhausted, then he had to rest in the tent, accompanied by Ita. Ita was not just silent, she started searching for the much needed internet network now. But many times he lifted his phone up, the signal on the phone remained a cross.

"Oh, shit!"

"Where? Can't do it, Ta?"

"No! We're really stuck here!"

"Duh, how's this dong. What if we can't go home? Maitea ... Pops ...." Apri started whining, and made Ita glare while hitting her own forehead.

"Eh, Pri! Don't despair, dong. Wait a minute, at most there will be another team passing by, so we can equally go, back to the post. Ah, don't worry about it."

Ita tried to calm Apri down. It just so happens that they are neighbors so that communication between them is close and familiar.

Rea looked for dry wood among the large tree trunks around. He kept his head down, looking in every crack of grass. Rea managed to find five branches of trees that were already dry. He continued to search carefully. Until finally he arrived at a round-shaped stone.

Rea looked at the thing with a confused look. He was even silent for a while until Dana finally appeared and surprised him.

"Gosh, Dan! Shocked to know!" omel Rea's.

"Hehe. Excuse me. Anyway, you're daydreaming. See what the hell?" dana asked, looking in the direction Rea was looking at earlier.

"That's how it looks like a well, huh?"

"Where? Oh yea! Let me see!" Dana walked excitedly to that big rock. Rea who initially hesitated and wanted to prevent Dana, finally could only follow her.

The rock was covered in weeds. But some of it was clear, and anyone who saw it certainly knew that it was a big well.

"It looks like it's a well, huh?" rea asked as she walked around him. Holding the thing while watching around.

"Re? You ever been here?" ask Dana. Rea who stood two meters away from Dana then looked at the man in wonder.

"To here? Me? No."

"What really?" dana asked somewhat in disbelief.

"Yes really. This is my first arrival to Borneo. Why why?"

"This isn't your name, is it?" dana asked while pointing at one corner. Rea was curious and approached. He read the book with those two words. A name that was engraved there.

"Amanda Rea."
