Raffles
Raffles is coming

In the evening there was a formal farewell with the porters, Mr. Rahmat, Mr. Urip, memei and Raffles. None of us knew that event would take place. It turns out that Mr. Rolan deliberately invited people who have contributed to our 10 days in the forest to come to the office. After dinner, Rizky and Robin suddenly whisper something to me.

"Teh, to the kitchen where anyone wants to meet Robin whispered in my ear. Wh who? I asked Robin. Who would want to meet me? I don't promise anything since I arrived at the resort. "So let me know, Robin pulled my hand into the kitchen. Upon arrival in the kitchen, I was completely shocked by the arrival of memei and Raffles. I hugged and embraced both mothers. No one told Raffles to hold my hand."When will my brother come home? tanyakanya. Tomorrow, my brother with all my friends will return to Sofifi. Because tomorrow we will depart from the resort to the hall. The last days we will pass there, while preparing the final presentation of our findings in the field.

"Sister don't forget Raffles with his father, mama e said Raffles. I bowed my body and carried it. Tra forget it, later if there is money brother play here again, later Raffles su big if brother comes again, I comfort him. Looks like the little boy also felt lost.Robin instead of holding Raffles."Later good school, so that you can go to Java if you are big. Raffles wanted to go to Java to meet with his older brother, said Robin. The little boy in his carriage nodded.

That night we gathered in a hall that used to be a meeting room. Chairs and tables are deliberately removed because they are not enough. We sat on the floor. Mr. Rolan opened the event and after that we took turns one by one to tell about the experience, the impression we had for 10 days together. Everyone has their own impressions depending on what they are going through.

On that occasion, my friends and I had time to formally thank everyone who helped us. Everyone hopes that one day we will be given another chance so that we can meet again. Mr. Roji flooded the thank you from the bird team and the flora team that is my team and Ayu. For our team he is very meritorious, if not because he somehow I, Dika Dan Mat will bring all the leaves we collected back to Java.

The event lasted quite a long time because everyone who gathered was indeed obliged by Mr. Rolan to convey the impression and tell stories. Mr. Grace came to bring his wife and child at that time.Therefore he quickly went home, once the event was finished they immediately went home because the child was a baby.

After the event some people choose to go straight to sleep.Maybe they are still tired and want to quickly rest. I prefer to enjoy the night air under the mango tree in front of that office. Some people are still seen passing by on the highway, even though it is 11 pm. I decided to call my parents. They may not be sleeping, I thought. While in the forest ak7 never reported to them, maybe they were worried. The last time I just told you I was going into the woods for 10 days and probably wouldn't be able to be contacted.

I heard the voice ask who is it? my mother told me that the one who called was me. Mamak's phone gave father's pad, also talking to the father first, from yesterday he continued, said mamak. Hello, said the father from across. Hello sir, healthy sir? I'm asking instead. Healthy, how are you? father asked back. Okay, I'm fine, I replied lightly. How does it feel in the woods? my father was always curious about all my activities every time I was allowed to go to the field.They supported me from the beginning to choose my college major, so that every activity I did outside the campus, practicum or anything including this expedition always appeals to them.

I told him at length about all the events I experienced for 10 days without a signal in the forest. At that time, my mother heard my story. So how's ngha doing there? ask mamak. Excited mak, the people are also good, funny funny if you hear their accent talking. The first time I felt funny hearing the eastern dialect of the people here but eventually became followed as well. I imitate the eastern way of speaking on the phone. Instead of praising me, my mother mocked me. Ngha fit, mending kayak ordinary said mamak.

When are you going back to Jakarta? ask father. About 3 days. Tomorrow we will go to the hall first in the city, stay there for 3 days and 2 nights just back to Jakarta, I replied. Yase be careful, do not installment.Remember you in the village people, father always reminds me like that every time traveling. Because sometimes I like to ask weird.Oke boss, my jawb steady and hang up after almost an hour we chat.

Who's calling anyway? suddenly Ari was sitting beside me. Same father, I replied. It was so exciting, he said again. Yes indeed, they are always excited if I tell stories about my activities, I replied. Very nice of your family, Ari looks grim. Yes that is, but still there is no good, I replied. I know Ari must be sad, because he often told me that his family was less harmonious.

Ari and I had a long chat outside.In the morning we just returned to the office to sleep. The other children had already fallen asleep in their dream realms by the time we entered. Only a few employees including Mr. Rolan who was playing playstation in the meeting room.

In the office it is provided a playstation and some sports equipment because some employees always stay in the office alternately to stand guard. There is also a bedroom available there. But of course we didn't sleep in that room because the bedroom was for employees only.
