“Yeee ... We are one group!” pekik Nia girang's.

“Whose group are we?” my many.

“I see on the notice board, our group there are 4 people, two more from the next class.”

“Ya we will find aja,”.

There were not long two students looking for my name and also Nia.

“Excuse me, here whose name is Maya same Nia which is yes?” 

“Hadir!” nia shouted while raising her hand.

They approached me and Nia. “I'm Karin and this is Jasmin,” he said.

“You guys are one of our same group huh?” my many.

“Iya, we are from next class.”

“Well because we have collected how do we for the task now?” said Nia.

“Bby,” sahut Jasmin.

We also split the task to bring the necessary camping equipment, while for food we decided to joint and buy it.

Coincidentally I was carrying cooking utensils while Nia brought Jasmin and Karin cutlery will bring a stove and lighting tools in the tent.

After sharing our assignments we exchanged phone numbers and Karin and Jasmin returned to their classes. It was my first time doing something like this and it made me quite enthusiastic.

When I returned home from school I prepared the cooking utensils I needed, before I had asked permission to my brother and grandmother.

I put it in a crackle bag, after which I prepare equipment for myself such as change of clothes, towels, toiletries, and a small flashlight.

After that I sat in front of the TV while eating because I was very hungry. 

“Besok what you leave for there?” ask abah.

“Weave the Bah bus.”

“This you brought just in case,” to give a piece of money.

“But this is mostly Bah,”ucapku.

“Udah you bring. Coincidentally Abah again got windfall,” sahut abah.

“Alhamdulillah, Can buy snacks later,” I said happy.

It was unexpected that Laras came to my house with his hand still bandaged.

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Walaikumsalam. Enter Ras,” says.

“You've been cured?” my connection.

“Already dong,” sahut.

“Oh yes I want a story Yes.”

“What story?”

“yesterday when I was in hospital there was a strange incident Yes,”.

“What strange events?”

“I was yesterday living alone with my sister, pas magrib infusion I was going to run out but the nurse did not come so I had to find her nurse and meet in front of the toilet I asked her to help make my infusion.”

“Then?” 

“My infusion was changed and the nurse left. Not long ago the same nurse entered again while carrying equipment and infusion she said she wanted to change my infusion.”

“Lah ... Not in the new replace infusion you Ras?”

“Means I'm confused. I told him that he had just changed my infusion and when I saw my infusion it was empty. There is no content and the nurse instead said I was hallucinating,” said Laras.

“Don't be a ghost. You see, the hospital has a lot of waiting.”

“At that time I just called the Iyan to nemenin me.”

“Thank you not kenpa-why Ras. Oh yes tomorrow I go to Ras camp,” I said.

“Wah ... It would have been great if my school had not been. Where's Ya?” 

“What forest did I forget. Ah ... Pine forest!” my spoken.

Laras furrowed his brows. “Those forests are in the city next door?” 

“Iya maybe I don't know also Race I've never been anywhere because.”

“Not closed last year huh?”

“Close why?”

“There was once a case of murder of his victim a woman fitting met the woman again to iket in the chair and hold her head there is no Yes. The forest used to be a favorite place for camping. But when there was a case that the forest was closed but maybe now it has been opened again.”

“Kok serem the Ras,”

“Ras I'm serious. But the killer's already stuck?” my many.

“Udah. You calm down Yes,” Laras patted me on the shoulder.

“Eh but he said there are many pocongnya Ya.”

“The name is also forest. I'm not afraid of Ras.”

“Ya yes also sih.”

Laras and I kept talking until almost 18:00. Laras also said goodbye to go home because now he is not allowed to go home at night by his parents.

“Aya I came home yes,” he said.

“Oh yes almost forgot.”

Laras took something incorporated in his motor and gave it to me, “ini from my mama Ya.”

“Cake reward ... Thanks to Ras,”.

“Sama-sama I went home yes.”

“Change Bulik barrel (home)!” shout Laras.

“Yes look carefully on the road (look around on the road).”

The barrel turned on the motor and drove home, I went back inside the house and put the cake that Laras gave me to the plate.

*** 

In the morning I rushed to prepare all my luggage, this time I was picked up by Nia using her motorbike. 

When we arrived at school, there were already many who gathered with their various luggage. 

The bus came, the organizers and teachers told us to come in one by one. The bus was walking down the street, this was my first time going out and looking at the street. I just found out that in my city there are many tall buildings and large malls. 

“This is my first time out and in the city center,”.

“Hah? So where have you been all this time? Only at home?” ask Nia.

“Iya. Go home from school to home like that,”.

“I also have your first rich friend Yes,” he said.

Hearing that I had thought that was how old I was, but I didn't think too much about it I was more focused on paying attention to the road. 

Not only the high-rise bus also drove through the airport that had just been inaugurated as the international airport, I could freely see the lines of the planes that existed because the location was indeed on the side of the road.

I could even see planes coming and landing. We arrived at the campground, the bus stopped and we started to get off with our belongings.

“That's really cold here,” my word.

We were asked to gather first before entering the camp site. We were given instructions and explanations in the camping.

“When inside don't litter or throw anything away, don't be bad or put out bad words! Don't damage trees and others in this forest understand?”

“Understand Sir,” we say simultaneously.

“Tenda has been prepared by the committee, you can set it up with your group if you need help especially the students can ask it to the upperclassman.”

We entered the camp area and set up a tent.

“Yes you ever made a tent?” ask Nia.

“Here is the time to play house,” suhutku plain.

“Hah where to put! Yes we tried to establish first,” said Nia.

We managed to set up the tent without having to ask the upperclassmen for help, me and my group put together all the equipment in the tent.

Afterwards we went out and walked leisurely through the pine forest.

“Such cool even though it is midday,” said Nia.

“If we go in there what is it?” jasmin.

“You try?” my many.

“Bby. Come!” Karin walked ahead of us.

We continued walking straight deep inside and found a stretch of lake with clear and calm water.

We played around with the coolness of the lake water until we forgot the time. A committee came and approached us who were busy playing water in the lake.

“You guys don't play there! Let's go back to the tent!” said it.

“Why Brother? We are just playing on the edge of the other side we are not wet, ” said Karin.

“Here's the danger! Come quickly back!” 

With a sour look Karin clenched her feet in front of the committee and then walked ahead of us all.

“It looks like Karin is upset,” Nia said.

“Yah ... Karin mang like that so let it go. Let's go back,” take Jasmin.
