The Last Love of My Life
Find a way out of the woods

The man poured an energy so cool into the body Rifki to make Rifki feel comfortable with the coolness, he fell asleep peacefully, too, seeing Rifki who had not moved and shouted made Nadhira feel confused about what happened.

"Calm down, he just fell asleep from exhaustion, you don't have to worry about him" said the man, who knew what Nadhira was going to ask.

"Will Rifki be okay? I'm so scared something happened to Rifki, I don't want to lose her, is she really asleep right now?".

"He'll be fine once he's awake, but then quickly get him to the hospital so he can get help there"

"Yes, I'll try to get him to the hospital right away after this".

Nadhira was calm when he found out that Rifki was only asleep, the energy was not only flowing into Rifki's body, however, the energy also enters Nadhira's body slowly until it makes Nadhira feel sleepy.

Rifki was sleeping very fast on Nadhira's lap at this time, while Nadhira himself also fell asleep with his back to a tree trunk, I don't know what really happened to the two because suddenly both of them suddenly able to fall asleep like that.

"You love each other sincerely, then how can I separate you two like that, and I can't bear to do that myself, I hope your love defies destiny and you can be together forever" said the man.

As the dawn prayer began to roar in every corner of the earth and the glimmer of sunlight shone so thin, slowly the area of the person's body began to fade with time, before his body disappeared completely from that place, the man smiled at Rifki and Nadhira who were sleeping with the sound of it.

Between the lush trees in the forest, both of them were asleep from exhaustion since last night they played chase and also fought to protect each other, I don't know what made them both fall asleep like that.

The sun began to show its rays so bright that it made Rifki frown when she felt a ray of sunlight far away hit her body and felt so warm and very comfortable, and the light seemed to disturb his sleep because slowly the land of light felt so stinging.

Slowly opening his eyes and raising his hand to block the sunlight that fell into him that felt so blinding, Rifki held his stomach which was now wrapped in a cloth.

"Dhira where are you? Why isn't Dhira here with me? Where'd Dhira go?" Rifki said when circulating his view but did not find the existence of Nadhira.

Rifki had no idea where Nadhira was, as she recalled yesterday Nadhira hugged her tightly when someone treated her wound, after that he did not know what happened because he was already in his dream.

"Akhs..." Rifki's sigh as her stomach pain began to attack her who was trying to get up from her sleep.

Rifki is unable to get up because of her wounds that have not healed completely, she feels anxious because she did not find the existence of Nadhira when she began to open her eyes, Nadhira who just came to bring something when he saw Rifki had realized immediately approached him.

"Rifki you're conscious".

Nadhira immediately approached Rifki and put something near Rifki, and he immediately helped Rifki to sit by leaning his body on the tree around him, Rifki felt calm when he saw Nadhira's face.

"What about your wound, Rif?"

"It's been much more intense than before Dhira, just still a little sore, where have you been?".

"I'm going to get you some water, Rif, I know after you realize you're gonna have to".

Nadhira immediately picked up something that he had brought before, it was a pitcher plant that he had picked up earlier and had been filled by Nadhira with fresh water from a tree where Rifki had taken water for him yesterday, and Nadhira immediately helped Rifki to drink it.

Rifki immediately downed the drink with help from Nadhira until the drink was not left at all because of the thirst that afflicted him, seeing it made Nadhira smile brightly towards Rifki.

"Rifki are you still thirsty? Let me get you another drink"

"That doesn't need Dhira, have you been drinking before? How's your condition?"

"Well Rif, you don't have to worry about me, because the one who's hurt here is you, I feel happy when I see you wake up Rif, I think I'm going to lose you".

"Dhira, I myself also thought that I would never be able to see that smiling face of yours again, it turns out that the Creator still allows me to see it".

"I will always be with you Rif, I will never leave you, even though the world will be against it and I will always be there for you, we will always be together".

"Thank you Dhira".

Nadhira nodded to Rifki, this is a very happy morning for him because Rifki has been awake from his sleep, since the sun has not appeared, Nadhira continues to wait for Rifki to open his eyes.

"I don't know the way out of this forest Rif, yesterday we ran too far Rif, so I haven't brought you to get out of this place, do you know the way out?".

"I also forgot about that Dhira, I don't really memorize the forest next to this because I have never entered here, which I memorized is the forest in the nearest part of the Red Rose village, but it's a long way from the Red Rose village".

"Good, we're lost now, then how do we get out? Maybe stay in this place for a few more days while waiting for someone to help us" said Nadhira indifferently.

"Why is it good?"

"Only the two of us who live here now, maybe in the next few days we will only hunt in this forest to survive, until someone helps us, no, no, we have to find a way out".

Rifki just nodded to Nadhira with a smile, her body was still so limp at the moment because of the injuries she had sustained, that whatever decision Nadhira made was the best decision for her and both.

"You wait here first, I want to find something we can eat in this forest, I know you must be hungry right? Because since yesterday we've been running".

"Don't stay away from me, Dhira, I don't want you to do anything".

"Look, I'll just look for him around here for Rif and come back as soon as possible to bring you some fruits that I can find in this forest".

Nadhira immediately rushed away from where Rifki died alone, while Rifki stared at Nadhira's departure with a feeling of loneliness until finally he decided to close his eyes because of his condition that has not been as stable and still looks very weak.

Nadhira walked around the place to find something to eat, but he had not yet found fruits or plants that could be used to prop up their stomachs.

"Akhs... "

Nadhira immediately dropped his body to sit down so that he could pull the thorn, with all his strength finally he was able to pull the thorn out of his foot.

"Huft..why can there be a thorn this big that I did not see before, I have to continue to look for food for Rifki, this is just a small wound really, does not mean I have to give up at this time".

Nadhira again rose from his seat and walked with a limp, because his leg was injured by a thorn that had threatened with the foot.

After spinning for an hour he finally found a large enough plant, the plant is a mulberry tree whose body is fertile in that place with a lot of fruit, and the, mulberry fruit is shaped like a fish egg that is still in the stomach.

The taste of mulberry fruit depends on the color of the fruit, the more black the color will be the sweeter taste, if it is still white or has changed to red then the taste will feel very sour without any sweetness.

Nadhira also immediately took the black mulberry fruit with a heart because the fruit is easily damaged if not careful and put it on the taro leaves that he had picked before.

"If I ever find anything Rifki can eat, I hope Rifki will like it later".

Nadhira also took the mulberry fruit until the taro leaves that he was carrying were full of mulberry fruit, Nadhira again continued his search and accidentally stepped on a plant that was knee-high.

"Eh, isn't this a squash plant? Thank goodness I found it for Rifki"

Ciplukan fruit is a fruit that tastes slightly acidic, shaped like a marble but yellow, the fruit is also covered by a petal, and the, the drier the petals, the more ripe the fruit in it otherwise if the greener the petals, the smaller the contents inside.

Nadhira immediately put the mulberry in the taro leaves to the nearest land and he immediately harvested the fruit of the ciplucan, quite a lot of fruit that he took this time to make himself have to graze the fruits with his clothes cloth and Nadhira immediately returned to the place where Rifki was with the fruit ciplukan and mulberry for Rifki.

Nadhira came with a smiling face with a wide, he looked at Rifki who was now sleeping with a fast return, Nadhira immediately approached Rifki and put the fruits near Rifki.

"Rifki get up, let's eat first, I just find some fruits in the forest, fruit buahan this will not be filling but this fruit is enough to prop up your stomach hungry" Nadhira said as he patted Rifki's cheek slowly.

Rifki began to frown and slowly opened her eyes, her eyes falling on Nadhira who was smiling gently at her at this time.

"This is all I can find in this forest, eat Rifki, you must be very hungry right?" Nadhira said while pointing to the direction where he put the fruits before.

"Let's eat together".

"No, you just eat until you're full don't worry about me, you need more energy than I do for now".

Rifki shook her head, she immediately picked up a mulberry and ate it that made Nadhira feel happy, after which she took another mulberry and put it into Nadhira's mouth.

"Eat Dhira too, you also need a lot of energy to take me out of this forest, let's open your mouth let me feed him" Rifki said as she told Nadhira to open her mouth.

Nadhira smiled at Rifki and immediately opened his mouth to take a bribe from Rifki, and both of them enjoyed the fruits with greed.

The food was not able to fill the stomach of both but the food was enough to prop up their stomach for a moment and become energy for both.

After finishing eating, Nadhira immediately helped Rifki to stand by draping Rifki's hand to his neck and they had to continue their journey to get out of the forest, nadhira painstakingly swept Rifki's body to leave the place.

"Did your leg hurt Dhira?" Nadhira asked who felt that Nadhira was walking with a slight limp to lead him.

"It's not the Rif's problem, just hit by a small thorn anyways I've cleaned and I give the medicinal plants".

"Don't force it if you're not strong enough to walk Dhira".

"You take it easy, Rif, I know about that, which road should we choose now?".

"Straight up, Dhira, there's a branch of grass that people have been through, maybe with that we can get out of here".

"alright".

Nadhira immediately reached Rifki's body to lead where the footprints would take him away from this place, Rifki also tried to walk by holding Nadhira's back while holding his stomach.

After thirty minutes they walked but they still did not see the sign they would enter the abandoned Red Rose village.

"Dhira, we'd better get some rest here, my stomach starts to cramp a little, I don't think I'll be able to walk anymore".

"Well Rif, I'll find a place for us to rest later, it looks like the tree is safe enough for us to rest".

Nadhira also led Rifki closer to a tree not far from him, after which Nadhira helped Rifki to lean on the tree, Rifki knew that Nadhira himself was unable to walk because of the wound on his leg but he pretended not to feel the pain in front of Rifki.

"We will rest here first yes Rif, rest, after this we will continue the journey again, we must immediately get out of this forest, and take you to the hospital".

"Yes Dhira, you also have to rest, you need a lot of energy to be able to take me out of this forest".

"Whatever I'm gonna do for you, Rif, you gotta hold on until we get out of this forest and get you to the hospital".

"Yes Dhira".

Nadhira also sat in front of Rifki, because of his fatigue he did not realize that now he was asleep by leaning on his own two hands, seeing it makes Rifki immediately put Nadhira's head to his lap.

Now Nadhira has fallen asleep in Rifki's lap, while Rifki immediately rubbed Nadhira's head gently, he knows that Nadhira is currently exhausted but he does not want to show it to Rifki.

"Sleep very well Dhira, thank you for everything you've done and given me, you're a woman who means so much to me, I'm sorry that this time I'm a burden to you and I can't do anything for you".

Rifki began to yawn, not long after he fell asleep by leaning on the tree trunk, while Nadhira was asleep in his lap.
