31. Rea's Dad

"ITAAA!" yell at them at the same time.

Ita can't be saved, now it's Diah, Leni, Apri and Rea's turn. Everyone fell to the ground, as if being pulled by something. They were all scattered with screams for help. Men can only be dumb, not knowing what to do. Eventually there was an explosion around them. Everyone was staring around. The steaming smoke made them cough. Behind the smoke was a shadow, more precisely some dark shadow that was now approaching them. Those who fell on the ground began to fear. It was just that their legs that were being tightly gripped by something made them unable to move.

They tried to escape because the black shadow they were looking at, was now approaching. Even Apri started screaming hysterically. Followed by screams and other cries. Everyone was scared, desperate, and resigned. Another shadow of terror was already cast in plain sight. But suddenly the snare that was on their feet just slipped away.they were all confused and looked at each other.

The men began to help his female friends to stand up. They all gathered together and began to be on the lookout for what was to come next. They panic, fear, and begin to despair with everything that will happen later. But in fact, the shadow actually appeared to injure a black shadow that resembled the roots of a tree, which had ensnared them all to panic and fear.

The black shadow that had just come, grew brighter and brighter. They were also flabbergasted. Of course I am confused about what happened. Around them began to whisper. The sounds of screams and cries began to sound earthy. Something feels awkward. There was no mass slaughter of the ten of them, there were fights around them. Well, the shadow shadows around it were just like they were fighting each other.

Even if the form is not clearly visible, but they can all feel if the shadows or figures around them are involved in a great fight. The trees around were moving like a strong wind. The leaves fall off, even the longer the wind that blows around them gets louder. They could all just close their eyes until they closed their ears, hoping that the hurricane would soon disappear from all of them.

Suddenly the atmosphere around became quiet. One by one they ventured to open their eyes, they were all curious about what was really going on. But at the same time, especially when they started to open their eyes, they were surprised by what was around them. The current atmosphere was no longer a forest with an empty, silent and silent atmosphere. But otherwise.

"You guys okay?" ask one of the guys in a Scout's typical outfit.

They look at each other and are confused. Even if they see a lot of people around, but they still do not believe if all they see is really human.

Too often they interact with the subtle creatures that are in the forest, making them unable to trust fully the existence of real humans who are now surrounding them all.

"Hi, you're good, right?"

"Where are you guys going? We've been looking for you all this time!" add another one.

"We thought you were lost, and could not be found again. Thank goodness you're okay!" resolutely someone who was seen observing their entire body was tenfolded.

But they remained silent, but when one of them called Rea's name, the summoned girl looked to look for the source of the voice.

Rea found someone he knew behind the crowd. Apparently the middle-aged man smiled when he saw that Rea welcomed him with sparkling eyes.

"Dad," call Rea to the man. Not only that Rea also ran over to hug her. This made his friends surprised. They all looked at each other, as if they had one thought in common.

"Are you okay, honey?" ask the man to Rea.

Rea held back the cry precisely making her sobs clearly visible. After releasing the embrace the two looked at each other. There was a feeling that Rea described to her father.

" What exactly happened?" ask Rea's father.

"we're lost, Dad. We tried to get out of this place, but it was all in vain. We've gone the same way We've gone further, we're as if we're back in that place again" Rea explained.

Rea's father hugged his daughter again. He stroked Rea's back gently, trying to calm the girl down. This makes his friends start to open up right and sure that the people around them are now real humans, not creatures or anything like that.

One of the seniors known as the chairman of this event approached Dana.

" Why can you get lost instead of you already holding the map for our trip this time?" ask the senior.

" Well that's true. I even followed the real path. The compass also still works, we passed the North lane according to the map in my hands. We get lost over and over again. Every time we passed our North Pass as if we were re-played our lost chapter earlier." Dana explained calmly.

Everyone is confused they look at each other without making a sound at all.

"Let me take a look at your map" the senior asked Dana.

Dana finally took the map from her bag. Fortunately, Dana did not throw the object because she was still curious. How can they find it difficult to get out of the forest even though the path they pass is a climbing path. The path that is usually passed by people who are in the forest. Even the surrounding residents also often roam the forest, and there is no case of people getting lost so far.

The map was opened. They all noticed the thing while frowning.

"We're from here, then this way. Aren't we on the right track?" ask Dana while explaining to the seniors.

Some of the seniors looked silent, while looking to think hard. They continued to stare at the Map as well as occasionally paying attention around.

"Any, right, brother?" added Dana while asking again at those standing in front of her.

"Relse ... Answer!" reprimand Blendoz who can not wait to hear the explanation of the person.

"This is strange indeed" said one of the gangs of youths in the same alma mater suit.

"Tuh, right! So why are we being misled like this? Has this ever happened before?" tanya Hani chimed in.

"Eum, we don't know about it, it's just that strange in this case ... Precisely the map," the senior replied.

"His map?" ask them simultaneously. "Why is the map?" ask Dana curiously.

"This isn't the map you're supposed to be carrying. This map looks dull after all, like an old thing. Who did you get this map from?" senior asked looking at Dana seriously.

Dana who was asked so then kept quiet for a while. "The feeling that gave the map ... One of you! He's wearing the same alma mater suit" Dana explained.

"One of us? Wh who? Do you remember the guy? Or her name?" the senior men.

"dm ... Name ... For a moment I remember first," muttered Dana who seemed to think hard to be able to remember the person.

"Wait, what's the matter, huh, brother? Is something wrong?" ask Hana who is getting suspicious.

The seniors looked at each other, then took a deep breath. "So this ... This map, it's not the map you should have," said one senior with shaggy hair. He lifted the worn paper to the side of the body to assert it.

"That's not the map we're supposed to have? Oh why can that be? What's wrong?" Hani seemed to not accept the mistake that occurred.

"Attent." He looked back and asked another friend for something. Then a paper with a pure white color is given. "Well, this. This was the original map that all participants were supposed to carry. Compare this to the map you brought. Is same?"

Dana, Hana, Hani, and Blendoz stared at the two objects in turn. They all fell silent long enough to check the two maps that were currently in Dana's hands. This commotion made the other Dana entourage curious. They approached and listened more clearly to what was being debated at the moment.

"why this?"

"And how is it different?"

"yes really. from the color of the paper is also different the same as we have, right?"

"can you anyway? how was the story yesterday? who gave this to you?"

That's the question from Dana's friends who keep unpretentious without stopping. While Dana can only with a very chaotic mind. He also did not know the explanation that could be used for the situation and conditions they were facing. His speech paper was indeed different paper which he believed was their supposed PETA that from the beginning was different from the map that Dana had since this event began. It's just that statements from the seniors are certainly not wrong and must admit that the map he has is not a map that should be aka a fake map.

" yes, this is different from the map we have. So this map isn't the map we should have?" dana asked once again. He still felt if everything that happened could he understand it completely.

" well as we explained earlier this is not a map that you should be under If you don't believe me, please check out the other team."

Dana didn't believe the senior's statement, only she didn't understand. How could they have a map that was not an actual map. Now the only thing he wants to do is find the person who gave it to him.

Dana stares around looking for the perpetrator who has been driving her team astray for almost 2 days. Dana still remembers how the person's face was. His face was quite easy to remember by her. Until now Dana has not been able to find the person around them. As Dana grows anxious, she fears she will be accused of being the one who has led her team astray. Because he has not been able to find the perpetrator who has given the map to him.

Rea who saw this then invited his father to come closer. The discussion began to happen. Some of them like cornering Dana to be able to provide a more accurate explanation. Dana was more silent.

"Wait, I'm sorry I interrupted your conversation" Rea's father told them all. " I happened to hear all your chatter from a distance earlier so something made me curious and wanted to know what happened Rea How to take care of my son was also one of the team members who got lost earlier."

"Oh, it's okay, Om. Sorry, if we have not been able to provide any explanation, because until this moment, the root of this problem has not been found," explained one senior.

Smiling looks calm and very dignified in his right hand he holds a prayer beads that never broke he said.

"Actually we just have to find out who gave us the map, right?" ask Rea's father while pointing at the map that was in Dana's hands.

"Yes, Om. But Dana said it wasn't here" Hani added.

" He's not here, but he's been watching us since."
