The Lost Of Ramadan
Towards the Land of Sabbat Part 2

That night they took turns sleeping to be able to tell the situation if they were in danger, Chio was first on guard and then Shiro, after which Akira was only in the third of the night. At that time Akira chose to sleep first and intended to perform the Isha Prayer when he got a turn to guard while performing the tahajud Prayer. After performing the prayer he stayed awake long enough to accidentally wake Ayumi up as she walked to pick up the firewood nearby.

Ayumi who slept away from them sat up and rubbed her eyes trying to clarify the vision, the first time she saw was Chio and Shiro who slept covered close together, then look at Akira who is multiplying firewood so that the flame is greater so that it adds warmth in the cool of the morning one third of the night.

“Akira, if you want to go back to sleep please just, let me stay awake again,” he said surprised Akira.

“Huh ... geez, did I wake you?”

Ayumi shakes. “I'm used to waking up when like this, so when I hear a little sound I will definitely wake up,” he replied.

“Alright if you want to, I think soon the Fajr Prayer will arrive,” Akira and Ayumi nodded.

Akira soon returned to his place next to Chio which was a bit far from the campfire, while Ayumi went towards the lake to wudu. Akira soon fell asleep again while Ayumi had finished praying and was praying.

“Yes Allah we fear you and protect us from all the evils of the creatures of this world, give us health always and bless our journey, facilitate our sustenance in the provision of food and the abundance of nature, and ease us in worshiping you,” said Ayumi prayed.

“Yes Allah I am confused as to what to do, lately somehow I suddenly always remember it, if if if the longevity I want him to come with us to embrace the religion that you are pleased with, O Allah forgive me if my wish is a wrong wish,” Ayumi continued in tears.

It was clearly heard by Shiro who deliberately did not sleep anymore when he changed guard with Akira. From the look on Shiro's face he seemed anxious about what Ayumi was experiencing.

The dawn had revealed a bright light in the sky at the sign that morning was about to arrive, Akira and Ayumi immediately packed up the things, while Chio was cleaning up and getting ready to leave, in the grass, Shiro is feeding their horses.

It was a bright day and they were on horseback ready to return to travel, while Akira was still busy looking for a place as if he wanted to plant something. “What are you doing Akira, we must leave immediately,” pinta Chio.

“Wait a minute I want to plant the pumpkin seeds we ate last night,” he replied.

“Cih .. stay you throw it, what a hard thing!” shiro Sahut.

“Please wait a minute this won't be long,” he replied as he covered the seeds with the small pierced ground he made.

“I hope this can grow and bear fruit, and hopefully the fruit can be useful for all creatures,” Akira said smilingly looking at them.

“If there is a traveler like us then it could be food for him,” Ayumi replied.

Chio nodded. “Hurry up and ride this horse,” the door while retreating backwards.

“Ehh .. but I can't me ..”

“It's quiet I'll teach you slowly,” cut Chio. There was little doubt from Akira, but due to their coercion he ventured up ahead.

Their journey was continued and this time they had to enter a dense forest that might have been many wild beasts, however, their fear and pleading for protection makes them feel confident and believe nothing will happen until now a few days have passed.

Just like yesterday they always divide the task when staying overnight in a place, not only that every night they always choose a place where there is water around them for drinking purposes and so forth.

The fourth day of the journey or rather Saturday they had to spend the night in the middle of the forest because it was no longer possible to continue the journey, the atmosphere of the darkening day made it difficult for them to see visibility.

They decided to stop before dark night came. As usual the mumpung is not yet dark Akira and Chio look for firewood and Shiro takes care of the horses. While Ayumi prepared a pedestal for them to sleep at once for dinner.

“About fast here!” chio shouted suddenly as they gathered firewood.

How surprised Akira was when he saw something that Chio showed. “Wednesday!” yell Akira.

“Not only that here I also found yams,” reply Chio.

They quickly dug up and plucked everything, then immediately returned to meet Ayumi and Shiro.

“What you guys brought!” ask Ayumi a little surprised.

“Look at us to find pumpkins and yams near here, some have been eaten by animals, but lucky there are still good and intact,” replied Akira.

“Really! Looks like Kanzo is also doing the same thing as Akira did,” Chio replied excitedly.

“And again what you never think, the more we come here the more food in nature, even we always find water in this forest,” said Ayumi.

“A’ahh .. do you remember that the people of Sabbat country are very generous people, and because their generosity of their country becomes more prosperous,” Akira replied.

“So you mean we are getting closer to Sabbat country!” reply Shiro.

Akira nodded. “But not only does Thalib need one ceremony to get to our country, while we are only about four days,” said Ayumi a little surprised.

“That's because Talib is without a map, while we actually use the map he has made, of course he has calculated the fastest way to the country of Sabbat!” answer Chio.

“Yah .. I'm sure it looks like we will soon reach Sabbat, according to the map we have, we have entered the third forest as well as the last forest on this map,” said Akira showed me the map.

“Cih ... basic I did not think I managed to do it,” Shiro said smiling arrogantly.

“We! not I ha ha ha ..!” they said together and laughed together.

...●●●●...

That night they all fell asleep except for Akira who had a turn to watch, he sat near the bonfire which was also close to their horse which was tied a tree together. When coolly fixing firewood suddenly a voice like a bird sounded loud not far from Akira, suddenly it made him shocked.

Fearing that the bird of prey Akira took the fiery firewood in search of the origin of the sound intending to drive it away, the sound grew louder as he continued to walk away from those who were asleep. Suddenly the noise from the direction of the dry leaves shocked Akira back to make him direct the light of the fire, it turns out that the sound came from a bird sized like a wounded chicken on his wing and feet.

Wishing it of course makes him feel happy and think to slaughter it, but before that Akira made sure first by looking at the situation of the sad whether he can still survive the wounds he experienced, but before that Akira made sure first by seeing the situation of the sad whether he can still survive the injuries he experienced, after feeling confident that the bird could survive he immediately slaughtered it until the bird died because it was slaughtered lawfully and not died because of injury, that way the bird is not an illegal carcass because it died injured.

At that time Akira was roasting the bird in the campfire, the noise that Akira did because he felt happy even made Ayumi wake up.

“What are you roasting Akira?” ayumi asked as she tried to clarify her vision.

“A’ahh .. Again I woke you up," said Akira turned his head and Ayumi shook her head, "i'm baking a bird.”.

“Birds?”

“I accidentally found an injured bird, so I slaughtered it and cleaned it.”

“Do you need help?”

“No need, if you want to go back to sleep, just sleep, if it is ripe later I will wake you up, soon also already want dawn time,” Akira answered while blowing a shrinking fire.

Ayumi. “I want to pray first,” said Ayumi standing towards a water source not far from them.

After that Ayumi had finished praying and then sat down to immerse Akira who was baking. “Emm .. I can ask you something?” ask Ayumi.

“Yah sure."

“Can I tell you my story?” ask Ayumi.

Akira was a little incredulous. “If you don't think it's a disgrace then I'm very willing to support it,” replied Akira full of confidence.

“But earlier I wanted to ask if you miss your parents?”

Akira flinched then lowered his head. “Yah .. always and always, almost every day I always remember them.”

Ayumi smiled. “When I was a child of parents who were quite rich in the village, my mother had long since died when she gave birth to me, I never even knew what my mother's nature was like,” said Ayumi was about to tell a story.
