Meanwhile the atmosphere of Morning under the slopes of the Mountain, the Sun was still shyly hiding behind the mountain, only a faint beam of light slowly revealed the immune system that was still flying around the valley area on the mountain slope.
The atmosphere is quiet, only the chirping of forest birds that are mutually unpretentious with a melodious voice welcoming the morning that arrives.
A middle-aged woman, with slow footsteps, walked down the path to the small forest not far from the hut where she lived, though her hands closed her mouth occasionally to yawn, let go of the drowsiness that was still left behind.
He deftly looked for the branches of trees around the forest to be brought home.
That woman is Pina's mother..
After the branches were collected, he left the forest and then returned to his hut.
Arriving at his Hut, he immediately piled the wood on the stove and burned it to the fire and he took a pot of water and put it on the fire and cooked it.
Then he headed to the backyard to uproot the cassava tree and pick up the tubers to cook for breakfast he and his son Ivory.
Meanwhile, Ivory who was fishing by the lake, got 3 fish mujair quite large.he felt enough to eat it with his mother today, he said, so he immediately cleared his fishing line and immediately returned to their hut.
Ivory then cleans the fish and immediately makes a fire to burn the fish that he had been fishing. The fragrant aroma of grilled fish fills the environment around the mountain slope, if there are others around, it will certainly smell the aroma that makes drooling and provoke hunger.....
After All was done, the two of them then arranged the dish on a simple dining table, which was made of bamboo stems.as well as the seat, everything was made of bamboo stems.
" Let's eat, son ! " Call Bu Pina to Ivory who is near the well to wash his hands.
" Yes Mother first, I'm following ..!" Answer Ivory.
Shortly after, after washing his hands, Ivory sat down to join his mother.
Bu pina clamp 2 pieces of boiled cassava, then put in an Ivory plate.
they both ate well.
Although their lives are very, very simple, can even be said to be quite lacking, but there is comfort they feel, how to feel life without burden...
" Why have you been blinking your eyes ever since.., like someone wants to see, but who wants to come to this remote place ?" Said Bu Pina while looking at Ivory.
" Who knows if we'd like to find another person on the mountain slope, like Kak Ayu... !" said Ivory while smiling
" Ah this is you, there is only ! don't dong, kasian klo like Ayu ! " Said Mrs Pina.
" I'm kidding Mom. hehehe !" Replied Gilang while laughing.
" You are it ! let's eat the cassava out !" said Ms. Pina.
" Yes, Ma'am !" Answer Ivory. They both ate very well.
After the inside of the hut was clean, then Bu Pina came out to the yard to water and take care of the flowers that were next to the house.
One by one his favorite red rose trees, cleaned from the yellowed leaves.also white and yellow flowers that thrive around the fence, One by one the dry leaves are removed from the trunk of the tree, so that there are green leaves that adorn the trunk of the tree, combined with flowers that are blooming, adding to the beauty of the surrounding scenery.
After cleaning the trees, Ivory helped his mother take the dried leaves and burn them. So that a puff of smoke rises towards the sky.
After cleaning in the flower garden,
Bu Pina headed to the back garden of the house with a basket. shortly after Ivory followed his mother.
" Today our peanuts can be harvested, so that tomorrow you can sell them to the market, son !? also later we pick up other vegetables to add, so we can get more money to buy our food supplies this month." Bu Pina said to Ivory.
" Yes Mom, it just so happens that today the weather is pretty good.we can hang the nuts for a while." Said Ivory happily
Then the two of them headed to his garden and immediately harvested his peanuts.

At around Nine o'clock, the car that Ai Ling and Dante were riding in arrived at the village which was close to the Mountain Slope.
" We parked the car here !" Dante said to the driver.
" Good Sir !" the driver replied, then immediately parked the car at the place designated by Dante.
Along with the car that was driven by Mr. Birlyant and his children arrived at the place.
Dante and Ai Ling immediately got out of the car, as did Mr. Birlyant and his two daughters, as well as his 2 Assistants.
" We will ask for help from the villagers to take us by raft, because we have to pass through a river wide enough. " Dante gave an explanation to Mr. Birlyant and his children.
" But no harm anyway ?!" Ask Mr. Birlyant, because he's worried about his two daughters.
" No Sir ! This guy's very adept at crossing his raft." Said Ai Ling.
Then Dante and Ai Ling led a careful journey down the path to get to the river bank...
The road is a bit winding for a while uphill, then down, thankfully ga rain so the road is not too slippery.
After a few minutes later they arrived at the riverbank, Coincidentally there are some villagers who are fishing, then Dante then ask for help on one of them to take them on a raft..
Then they all climbed on the raft, assisted by Dante and the villagers..
At first both Daughters Pak Birlyant felt afraid of drowning, But Ai Ling strengthened them, and the longing for her Mama was so great that it encouraged them to be brave and strong.
The man then supported his raft slowly, so that the raft floated to the other side.
Finally, when they arrived across, they drew and breathed a sigh of relief while giving thanks to God.
Not to forget Mr. Birlyant gave tip money to the villagers who had helped cross them earlier.
They also walked through the forest alang-alang through the path that is there, intermittently stopped to rest because both of his Daughters Mr. Birlyant felt tired and moreover had not gotten used to traveling in a place like this.
" It's good here, the air's fresh and clean !" Said Mr. Birlyant.
" Yes sir, what else is rarely visited by people.
only those who have a garden here always come." explained Ai Ling with a smile.
" What if we continue on our journey!" Take Dante with them after a short break.
" Now let's meet Mama, I miss Mama !"
" I can't wait to meet Mama too! " say her two daughters.
And then they continued their journey to Bu Pina's Hut.
