The Story of Aira
3
"Later you guys don't stay away from us!" Hendri gives his woo to Aira and his friends.
"Hi, Ra...!!" that's Aditya's voice.
"You...?!!" Aira was surprised to see Aditya wearing a committee shirt. "Iihh..., what's that?!"
"Hahaha... That's why?" aditya Ledek.
"Delicious of his name. Yes obviously you get to the finish first, you are the organizer of the event." said Aira.
"He's close to Adit...?!"
Someone is monitoring them.
"Forget last night. You have to be careful" said Aditya. "If anything happens I can be fried together" he joked.
"The fried rice side dish continues." chirped Toni.
"Suit well!" Icha Sahut.
"Adit's right. Maybe Aira used to do this in her place a lot. But here the terrain is different, so be careful, Ra." said Rangga.
"Ready chieftain!" Aira paid respect to Rangga.
"Tribal head?!" Rangga scrunched his forehead.
"Guit, bro. Good Aira." said Hendri.
"Haha...!!!"
Before the event began, they exchanged mobile numbers to facilitate communication.
......................
The situation is still safely under control because they are still in the village. But a few minutes later they began to enter the path.
"That's cool...!!!" Aira breathed air there.
"Now the first step." Toni gave a warning.
Aira was already impatient, she wanted to go deeper soon. Uniting yourself with nature is her favorite.
"First post...!!" exclamation Rangga. "Girls give way first!" Rangga who was already on top gave a warning to his team.
When Aira's turn came, someone stretched out his hand. Aira greeted him without seeing who was up there.
"Thank you" said Aira, then she saw who it was.
"Ryaaan.." Inner Aira.
"Hi, Ra." she said gently.
"Hi." she replied briefly.
Aira then stepped back to give way to the others.
"Hows it? Still safe?" aditya was already behind her.
"Safe!" Aira showed off her thumb.
"Good girl..." Aditya patted the top of Aira's head slowly.
"Did they really have a special relationship...?" thought Ryan while glancing at the interaction of Aira and Aditya.
"We go on, bro" said Rangga.
"okay!" reply Aditya. "See you in the next post" Aditya told Aira.
Put them in a very beautiful place. There is a spring water there too.
"It's a break" said Toni, who was sitting on the bridge.
"We fill the bottle here." exclaimed Icha.
Aira followed Toni and she leaned against the bridge barrier.
"Seru, Ra?" ask Toni.
"Yes. The scenery is also very good." can not be denied, Aira really enjoyed it.
"Next year will you come again?" ask Hendri.
"Come." Aira smiled very sweetly.
......................
At first everything was fine, the terrain was well traversed. But then they reached the hills are quite slippery, because the area was hit by drizzle some time before they came.
"Squippy look!" Rangga who guides the road never gets tired of reminding his friends behind him.
"Be careful, Aira..."
"That's Aira helped..."
"Aira..., Aira..., Aira....!!!" Icha started to worry because everyone was watching Aira.
"Be careful...!! You'll be right past the descent...!" exclaiming panita through the toak he brought.
"Smooth fields, make sure your focus is strong...!"
" Slowly, Ra." Ninik who was in front of Aira held Aira's hand tightly.
Just a few steps...
"Oh..!! Shhhh...!!" Aira felt a tremendous pain in her legs.
"Re...!!
"him...!"
"...!!"
I don't know how many people mentioned his name at the time. Aira did not care anymore, because her suddenly stiff legs felt very painful.
"Don't hold...!!" sahut Aira while raising her hand.
"Let it go first" he said later, then he clenched his own feet to find a comfortable position.
"Let me just." The stairs crouched down in front of Aira.
"Gaaa...?!!" Icha looked resentfully at Rangga, even more so at Aira.
"It's convenient?" ask Rangga.
"Em." Aira nodded. "Slowly.." he said softly.
Rangga's hand was so good at taking off Aira's shoes and looking for the point of the cause of her pain.
"Just cramp." murmured Rangga. "We're taking a break for a while isn't it okay?" Rangga saw his team's reaction one by one.
"okay."
"Thank you, yes" Aira said to Rangga.
Suddenly Ryan approached them. He heard there was a problem with Rangga's team.
"Is anyone hurt?" ask Ryan.
"Aira's legs are cramping." reply Sari.
Ryan looked at Aira who was sitting while tying her shoes.
"Now what, Ra? Already eaten?" ryan asked while sitting next to Aira.
"Yes, much better. Rangga helped me earlier." again Aira smiled.
Aira was grateful to have so many attentive friends.
"Can't not smile like that. Too sweet, Aira.." Ryan's inner.
After Aira felt better, they resumed their journey to the next post.
Their problems don't get there enough. The weather started to get rough as the rain started to fall. The last terrain they had to cross was a huge river with a very swift current. Plus the rocks are very slippery.
"There's no other way?" sari asked as she looked at the river that stretched in front of her.
"There is, but we have to turn around. And it's gonna take a long time. Now it's afternoon." said Toni.
"We're just going through here. All hold on don't let go" said Rangga.
In front of Airin was Icha, behind him were Ninik and Hendri.
"Be careful slippery." Tony warned them.
Some have reached the edge. While Aira, Ninik, and Hendri are still struggling through a fairly swift current. Rangga slightly went into the river to attract the hands of friends who approached the river bank.
"Astaghfirullah...!" peekik Aira's.
"Airaaa...!!" Ninik looked panicked.
Suddenly, Aira's legs hurt again and almost fell down. Simultaneously Rangga reflex took off Icha's hand which he had just pulled onto the ground. With such a fast movement Rangga helped Aira as well. Because Hendri and Ninik who tried to hold Aira look tired against the river current.
"Oh my God, I think I'll be carried away." - Aira's mind when it reaches land.
"That...!!!" Icha back to the mess.
"It's okay?" ask Rangga.
"No." replied Aira with an irregular breath.
"I fear that you will be carried away, Ra.." said Ninik with teary eyes, and then he fell in the arms of Aira.
"I'm fine thanks to you guys. Thanks.." said Aira.
Icha chose the way forward to leave them. Without asking the condition of Aira who almost dragged the current.
Their clothes were wet, until the finish was dry again because the weather was hot again. All took drinks provided by the committee. They were not disappointed even though they were not the first to finish. Because they enjoyed the trip.
"Why so long? Are you lost?" ask Aditya to Rangga.
It was very clear the panic in Aditya's face. Moreover, there is no mobile phone brand that can be contacted. Turn number Hendri can connect, but Hendri did not lift it. Because he sets his phone in silent mode.
"A little lost." whispered Rangga.
Indeed Rangga, Hendri, and Toni already know that they are lost. But they deliberately kept quiet so that Aira and her friends would not panic. If something had happened to Aira back in the river, they would have been very sorry.
"But not far away. It's just that Aira almost fell in the river." Hendri added.
"Well?!" Aditya surprised. "Why did you get to the river...?! Aira can't swim." Aditya kept grumbling.
"Where is he now?" ask Aditya later.
Toni points out the whereabouts of Aira. Aditya immediately ran towards where Aira and her friends were. It also did not escape from Ryan's observation.
"They said you almost fell. You're okay, right?" aditya asked as he observed the figure before him from top to bottom.
"No. They're licking me." Aira smile.
"Thank God..." Aditya ruffled the top of Aira's head. Then he sat down beside Aira.
"Is it because your feet hurt? Some say your legs had cramps earlier." said Aditya.
"No. It's better, Rangga helped me earlier." said Aira.
"I don't know why I'm worried about this with you, Aira. I don't know because of your father's trust, what else. I just don't want anything to happen to you." so Aditya had in mind.

"What am I supposed to say for today??... I don't know...
I am so grateful to have friends like them. If they hadn't helped me?!...
How was my fate after that?!...
Always take care of them, God. Like those who always look after me. I love them so much."
