32. Dispersed

Rea's father's statement certainly surprised them all. Now everyone looks at each other and looks around. One by one people were carefully observed.

"And how does it look like?" ask Blendoz.

"Male, the height is approximately 160 cm 165 cm deh. Her hair was a bit long. He wears glasses that seem thick enough. When it comes to clothes, I don't see what his shirt looks like because he wears our campus alma mater. That's all I remember" Dana explained.

Hearing that everyone was then looking for a man with the characteristics mentioned by Dana. Such specific traits are not found in people who participate in the search for the Dana team. Even the seniors who had been together from the beginning felt that none of their fellow soldiers had the characteristics Dana mentioned earlier.

"Whose name? You remember that, Dan?" ask Hana. Dana seems to be thinking hard. Even his eyes did not focus on looking at Hana or her other friends who were around. But shortly after that he shook his head, a sign that he did not remember anything about the identity of the person.

"Wait, Om said, he's been watching us since. What does that mean, Om?" ask Dana curiously.

Rea's father just smiled. He stared around without a word. Though everyone was currently waiting for an explanation for what he said earlier.

"Better we now just go back to the inn. It'll be soon night" Rea's father said.

"Yes, Om is right. We've just returned to the inn. Come on." The seniors guided all of them to leave the forest.

Outside there are already several neatly lined cars, as well as large buses, as well as police cars and ambulances. Before returning to the inn, Dana's entourage was checked for health by officers.

They sat near the ambulance while being examined alternately.

The area father continued to accompany his daughter while paying attention to the conditions around. Until finally Rea realized one thing that now makes him look confused while looking for something on his left right.

"Why, Son? What are you looking for?" ask Rea's father.

" dad, where is everyone. Isn't Marine all the freshmen here setting up this tent?" rea asked while looking confused.

" Oh yeah yeah really too. yesterday this place was full of tents. Or is this not the place that we had our ceremony yesterday before the event started?" leni asked, staring at her friends in turn.

Of course it makes them all confused because it is clear that the place is a gathering place for all new students who participate in this activity.

" where is everyone?"  ask Hani, curious

Finally Rea's father spoke up. "they came home a week ago."

" 1 week ago? It's not that we're here only about 3 days huh," asked Diah.

"You're wrong. Actually you've been here for almost 10 days," Rea's father said and managed to make them all surprised, even some react with half-screaming so surprised.

"I mean Om ... 10 days? That's right!" blendoz said with a surprised expression.

" yes, that's true. You've been lost for almost 10 days."

As soon as they heard the next sentence they were completely shaking their heads everyone looked at each other with a completely confused expression because they were convinced that they had been all this for 3 days and that was their third day already saved.

" 10 days looks like there's been a mistake here," we said checking his phone to make sure the truth is that their phones have all existed so far only after being in that place can not be detected wrong results in order to save their batteries turn off all phones.

How surprised Ita when she found out that what Rea's father said was really what happened.

"Yes, guys, we're here for 10 days!" ita said while showing her cell phone that showed the date today.

They all checked their phones, and everyone was shocked after seeing their phones. Aware of the oddity, they began to ask Rea's father many things. About how they can be lost, how long they are lost and even what happens when they are lost.

They were all quietly waiting until Rea's father explained something else they had been waiting for.

"Om was surprised to get a call from college. They say that Rea went missing in the woods with his team. At last it was also a plane ticket and went here. If according to your senior story who saw the incident there are indeed some strange things according to Om."

"What's so weird, Om?"

Rea's father began to tell him everything he saw when he arrived at the place. Just then the middle-aged man headed to the location. He was guided by a campus representative who had picked up at the airport. All the parents of the Rea team have been given word. It's just that not all parents can breastfeed Kalimantan knowing how chronologically the disappearance of their children. Only Rea's father can come, even he immediately flew to Kalimantan as soon as he got a call from the campus.

But he was a little surprised when he first arrived at the forest. He even squeezed his heart as soon as he set foot in the forest. One of the campus parties approached him and explained how his son was missing. Programs made by the campus are actually not too complicated. They just want to introduce the ecosystem that is in the forest of Kalimantan is still fairly Asri compared to the area on the island of Java. The new students were then formed from several teams. They are assigned to look for records of what ecosystems are around them, especially those that they pass through on the way to find traces. The activity had several posts to report on their work and also to be absent for all teams. Every Post they come to always record at what time they come and what they have found.

There are about 10 stopping posts that they must go to. The distance of team 1 and the other team is not too far only about 5 minutes after the first team leaves then the second team follows So actually even though they walk with a period of 5 minutes one team with the team others can still see each other.

When they reached the Nine-man Post, Dana and Rea continued their journey to the last post. They went ahead after the previous team who were still visible at the end, although it was a bit far from their view. It's just that the lush trees around make them a bit difficult to look at each other with other teams, except there are no trees around them.

" where did you go before? Isn't that still visible?" ask Leni to her friend.

" Maybe they have walked faster so we're a little far away" said Hani calmly.

" But really yes the direction here, afraid we are wrong way," added Diah who began to doubt.

Diah said it had seen the topography around them more lush than ever before even the hiking trails that look very clear to guide them began to fill up with thick grass all over they stepped on.

" Well, really, there is no more climbing route, is this sure we are not wrong?" hana asked Dana who was leading the team in front of them.

"However, this map leads here. Try to walk a little more maybe will meet the climbing path in front," said Dana trying to calm his friends.

They all obeyed Dana. Once walking a few meters ahead apparently they finally rediscovered the climbing path as before.

"That's right there," pointed Dana down at their feet. 

They also walked along the Path which is commonly known as the climbing route. After walking a few meters away, they finally reached the crossroads. Everyone stopped while staring around. Doubt now enveloped all of them. Of course they were confused as to which direction they should go now.

" so where are we going?" apri asked while looking around.

They finally look back at the map in Dana's hands. After discussing long enough show towards the right lane. Because according to the map on them the right path will be faster the last post than the left path.

Finally, they continued their journey through the right side. The journey is still long until finally the girl began to complain about her legs cramping her shoes, because her toes are chafing. He was wrong with the shoes he was wearing. Leni shoes are too small to make limited foot movement.

"Yes, let's take a break" Dana ordered, and everyone agreed.

They then opened the supplies to fill each stomach. While paying attention to the surrounding forest, They also discussed they would do after the activity.

"The next team hasn't shown up yet?" rea asked, staring in the direction where they had come.

"maybe more than before. Who knows, they are resting like us. Looks like we've all stopped for a break. Though the distance from post one to post 10 is quite far, right?"

"Yes.it is possible," cetus Rea looked hesitant.

Rea kept staring in the direction they came. Enjoy the ripped bread he brought that looks anxious like something is being thought of. It was clearly seen by Dana.
