The Temptation of the Former
Visit Reka

Jihan was just done with her tasks. Together with Jenny and Cika, Jihan walks towards their tent.

But it seems that Jihan had to undo her intentions as she recalled the promise of meeting Malik, in the campfire area.

Jihan instantly stopped her steps, making Jenny and Cika stare at her.

"Why stop?" ask Cika

"I just remembered, I promised to meet Malik at the campfire" Jihan said.

"Cie .. make a meeting, what exactly are you having?" ask Jenny to get sucked.

"What the hell, there's nothing .. You guys just go to the tent, I'll catch up," said Jihan then put her foot away.

Jihan stepped up her legs, towards the campfire area, actually she was also curious why Malik asked her to talk.

***

Johan was waiting for Jihan under a tree not far from the campfire area. He was sure Jihan would definitely pass this place later.

Already since he was in that place, he had even been faithfully waiting even though many ferocious mosquitoes were biting his body.

After a long wait that was quite draining of patience, Jihan finally came as well, hurriedly She hid first.

As Jihan drew nearer, she blocked Jehan's steps.

"Jihan help me" said Johan who was suddenly in front of Jihan.

"What's wrong?" ask Jihan.l

"The mob seems lost when I go shopping, help me go look for him" Johan said in a panic.

"I can't, I have an appointment .. invite the others," said Jihan who had wanted to step up, but was again intercepted by Johan.

"I don't have time to find anyone else, come with me now" Johan said, pulling Jihan's hand toward the car he had prepared.

Jihan still seems confused, but she thinks it seems like this is quite dangerous, leaving Raksa alone in a foreign area. Finally Jihan decided to come looking, she forgot her appointment with Malik.

***

Johan was already out of the camp area, he started thinking about his next move, where he was going, what reason Johan had to prepare when suddenly Jihan asked him later. all of this made him nervous.

"Indeed the Raksa went alone?" ask Jihan.

"L-yes, he is indeed brave, I told you, invite someone but he still insisted to go alone," said Johan, lying.

"Where are we going to look for him?" ask Jihan.

"Em ... just go there," said Johan pointing to a road, towards the City.

Johan sped up the speed of his car, occasionally glancing at Jihan who was staring at the window.

"Ehm .. Where did you go?" ask Johan.

"I have promised to meet Malik in the campfire area" Jihan said as she turned to Johan.

"You guys look close, do you like it?" ask Johan.

"We're just friends, he's kind and considerate" Jihan said.

"If you just consider him a friend, don't do something that can make people misunderstand" Johan said.

Seen confused, Jihan turned to see Johan was focusing on driving. "What do you mean?" tanyanya's confused.

"Ah no.. forget it," Johan said, smiling.

Meanwhile, Jihan leaned back and stared at the street from the window.

About half an hour, finally Johan arrived in a small town but very crowded typical residents with Sundanese accent.

Johan drove his car slowly, as they passed through the night market area.

Suddenly Jihan's gaze focused on the grilled corn shop that was on the side of the road.

"Do you want to burn jangung," asked Johan when he found a strange gelagat jehan when passing through the grilled corn shop.

"Ehm .. What is possible, we are looking for Raksa" said Jihan.

"In a moment, it's okay, we will continue the search" Johan said.

"All right, I want to" said Jihan.

Johan immediately turned the direction back to the front of the grilled corn shop earlier. Arriving in front of the store, without warning Jihan had gone down first.

Jihan and Johan approached the grilled corn seller's mothers.

"Excuse me ma'am, I want to order the two roasted corn, yes" Jihan said.

"Naon anu anjeun pikahoyong (what taste)," said the grilled corn seller.

Jihan is silent because she does not know the meaning of Sundanese, she is native to Java and lives in the middle of the betawi people to know Sundanese language is likely very absent. But suddenly Johan opened his voice, making Jihan immediately turn to Johan.

"Anjeun has a taste na (any taste)?" ask Johan.

"Original, BBQ, balado" said the grilled corn seller.

"Balladonya two yes tea," said Johan.

"Ready," said the grilled corn seller.

As far as Jihan is concerned, Johan's father is a native betawi, and his mother is of German descent, Borneo.

Jihan and Johan, sitting in a chair on the side of the road, still looked at Johan in confusion, and Johan was aware of it.

"Why see me like that .. beware of falling in love again" Johan said.

"What the hell .. I was just surprised, you know where Sundanese is from, instead of you there are no Sundanese descendants?" ask Jihan.

"From my babysitter as a child, her name was bi Ina, a native of Sundanese people, she often spoke sundanese, until I could follow and understand her meaning," obviously Johan.

"Oh so .. deserve it," said Jihan while nodding a sign of understanding.

"Don't talk too formal when outside the office like this.

Seeing Jihan speechless, she knew her ex-lover was still trying to build some distance between them.

"It actually feels quite strange, when you have to be formal with people who used to be as close as pulse," Johan said again.

Jihan simply turned to Johan with a smile without answering, her mouth always feeling stiff as past turmoil carried over to their chatter.

Before long their grilled corn order has come, two pieces of corn grilled balado flavor in the message Johan earlier.

"Punten (please)," said the grilled maizeman.

"Hatur nohun teas" Johan said.

"Thank you" said Jihan.

"Sami-sami (together)," said the grilled maizeman.

" Geulis pisan (very beautiful)," the grilled corn maize told Johan.

"Hatur nohun teas" Johan said.

Jihan immediately turned to Johan, to ask the intention of the grilled cornsmith's words.

"What did your mother say?" ask Jihan.

"You are beautiful" said Johan, then blinked one eye.

"Ehm .. oh so," said Jihan feeling groggy.

***

After finishing eating the grilled corn, Jihan and Johan get back in the car.

Johan again launched the action because seeing the clock has shown at nine pm, Johan thought, Malik would have not waited for Jihan anymore.

"Hallo," said Johan with a cell phone now stuck to his ear, pretending to get a call from Raksa.

"You've come home .. well then," Johan said, pretending to call.

~

"Who?" ask Jihan curiously.

"Raksa has arrived at the camp, thank God .. haha," said Johan then chuckled to himself.

"What! Know it like that .. we did not have to look for it earlier," said Jihan upset.

"We're going home now" Jihan said.

"Yes well" said Johan.

Johan returns to his car, steals the street to return to the camp.

After half the journey, passing through a fairly quiet road, Johan's car suddenly stopped.

"Why stop?" ask Jihan.

"I don't know. .. There seems to be a problem with the engine, I'll check first" Johan said, then got out of the car to check the front of the engine.

When Johan checked the engine, suddenly there was a lot of smoke, making Johan cough. Seeing that, Jihan immediately came down.

"What's going on?" ask Jihan.

"Uhuk ... The engine is having problems" Johan said.

"What! .. then how are we going to go home" Jihan said in a panic.

"Calm down, I'll try to reach someone at the camp" Johan said.

Johan looked at his phone, and it turned out that his phone battery was running out. Jihan is getting panicked.

"Did you bring your phone?" ask Johan.

"I forgot to bring it, my phone is in the tent" Jihan said.

"It looks like we're going to stay here tonight" Johan said.

Jihan immediately covered her face with both hands. Staying in the car, along with Johan, he

I made sure I couldn't fall asleep tonight.
