The Companion
Ch. 2 Thyteen Longers

Days went peacefully, the sight of Wawan's eyes was normal again even he had not seen the snake that followed Bu Agnes again. Until the end of the class hike Bu Agnes provides information in front of the class:

" Mother's children want to make an announcement. After receiving a report on Saturday's class, the school will hold a wedding. Who knows the length of the pasami. "

A friend answered

" SATURDAY - SUNDAY MA Guru. "

"Good.... Now please note what equipment must be brought tomorrow Saturday. "

By using an open tub truck at 2 pm we together to the location of the Tinjomoyo campground. By sitting crammed into each other - insistence we all sing with gusto. Without feeling we have reached the destination which in the location has been a lot of standing tents from several schools in Semarang.

One squad is divided into 10 people, three of whom are Wawan's own friends Dwi, Anton and Kartika.

" Wan... after assembling the tent schedule of our activities later what are....? "

Ask Dwi

" If not wrong, Brother Pembina told after Maghrib prayers held the opening ceremony followed by a bonfire then the activity of finding traces. "

" Well, it's going to be exciting. "chattering Anton.

" Wan, the girls from SD are beautiful - beautiful yes" Anton said as he pointed to the tent that was a few meters above the location of the men's squad tent.

" Later if there is time we get to know them yes" said Dwi and all nodded, then they were joking about things that are not important

Campground is on the hills. Which location is arranged. The tent for the women's squad is above adjacent to the Pembina tent while the men's squad tent is below it.

After the tent stood Wawan and his friends crowded into the river which was located under the tent of the men's team. Although it was rather steep and far away they were grateful that it did not rain with the supervision of Big Brother Pembina.

The solution was given by the committee because of the limited number of bathrooms. There are also among the participants who hitchhiked bathing in the homes of residents.

" Sister please don't joke.... We keep the courtesy in this place. " The supervisor's message after arriving at the edge of the river is very clear water with very large rock rocks decorate the scene in front of participants.

" Kartika here." call Wawan slowly.

" What's so serious, " said Kartika approached followed by Dwi and Anton.

" You guys saw something light up there, didn't you.. ?" answered with a compact head bobble of them all.

" Weird.why only I saw it yes "then Wawan walked with heart - heart towards something that lit.

It looked before his eyes like a bunch of roots that resembled hair but were larger in dark brown interlaced in pairs. Without thinking for a long time took 6 pairs of roots and brought before his friends.

Wawan immediately divided each one - a pair. Out of curiosity then Wawan asked the supervisor who was standing on the edge of the River followed by friends of participants all.

" Sister, we can ask what this is.." while showing something in each hand.

" Where did you get it.... "

" IN THE RIVER Kak "answered them in unison

" This is called the reed perindu.It should be returned to its place again. It's not good for kids to have stuff like this. "

" Is it dangerous? " ask Dwi

" Sister does not know yet, but you should not keep it. "

Because of Anton's fear, Dwi and Kartika and Wawan immediately handed the goods into the hands of Brother Pembina. Strangely, they were initially moving like worms arrived - arriving silent and stiff after being placed in the hand of the builder.

And they left the river because it was near Maghrib.

" Wan, not just the number of 6 pairs why there were only 4 pairs" asked Anton

" The 2 pairs I keep. Didn't you guys just see it, when the item changed hands immediately silent as if dead. "

"No need to think.... Yuh up not to miss the bonfire event" cried Wawan running to leave his friends.
