LEAFY LONGS FLOWERING SILENT
CHAPTER 10: SCOUTS AND THEIR STORY

Chickens crowed in a long melodious voice, indicating that the dawn was about to rise in the eastern horizon.

I immediately got out of bed to take a shower, then prepare to go to school, because that day where the scout activities at SMPN Satu Kotabumi will begin again, there is a campground in Gotong Royong field, Tanjung Aman Village.

After preparing the items to be brought, I said goodbye and then immediately went to school, arriving at the school all second and first class who will join the camp are asked to gather in the field to carry out the morning apple.

Apple held at 07.00 – 08.00 West Indonesia Time.

If I can be honest I most dislike following scouts, malls dried in the field kayak clothes after washing many gatherings in the field, indeed as far as I know the scouts often lined up in the middle of the field. But, what's okay, I have to go and follow the scouts at school, because I'm also one of the board builders.

I set off for the meeting place quickly and when I got there I was shocked, all were already lines in the field, but among the rows only a few male students' came, all those who line up on average are girls'.

"Kih, put on everything late!" Said Bambang one of my friends as a scout committee as well.

"Udah from now on, I'm waiting in class not to have it together here!" Fakih.

"Yes, the hunt is getting ready, we're leaving!" Say Bambang again. "Come on, march quickly!!!" Bambang gives command to students and students who have been lined up and are in the field.

After the apple is finished all students and students immediately leave for the field Gotong Royong, Kampung Tanjung Aman on foot with their respective groups.

I am obliged to lead one group, because in each group there must be a board of trustees. All are directed to immediately go to post 1 to post 5 to receive assignments and questions from the brother of the main scout coach in each post. It was a long journey to travel together. Arriving at Gotong Royong field, Tanjung Aman Village, all students and students who participated in this event immediately put their luggage, then rest for a while.

"We have seen which group will you lead what!?" Ask the main construction brother to Fakih.

"Not brother! What's out of schedule!" Ask Fakih.

"Already, take a look at the main tent notice board!" Obviously the main construction brother again.

"Ready 86 out!" Answer Fakih.

I immediately ran closer to the main tent, there was already a lot of students and students who jostled to see where the group, who are friends of one group and who is the leader of the group.

At 11:00 pm, all the friends gathered with their respective groups, they immediately set up a tent because it was cloudy weather sign will rain.

"Kih, I ask ma brother master builder let one group ma elo!" Intan.

"Who is our group Tan?" Ask Fakih then.

"Those from second grade I am Ma Ocha, the other seven from first grade Kih!" Intan Clear.

"Try elo tell them to get together first Tan!" Reply Fakih later.

Intan soon assembled their group and Fakih as the Group's chairman as the board of directors, Intan as Vice Chairman because the rank of Intan in scouts is quite high and has not been denied anymore with his experience that has often plunged in scouts. While Rosa became the Team coordinator by supervising her seven younger siblings so they were one group of ten people.

Fakih, Intan and Rosa held a small meeting for the division of tasks. Then Rosa immediately gave the command to the other team members "Before we carry out the next activity, you want to get acquainted with all team members first... The one called by his name please forward le ahead will be given a task with Fakih and Kak Intanya yes!, Aldo Sambudi, Andi Sofian, Rudi Kamadi, Rudi Kamadi, Tigor Samosir please follow Fakihnya's brother's instructions and please get out of line!"

The named member immediately left the line to receive Instruction from Fakih as the group leader.

Rosa continued, "Zahra Talita, Rahmawati and Laili Fitri please join her Intan and kak herself, thank you!" Continued Command of Rosa firmly.

"Make the members who are men', let's immediately set up the tent, soon it will rain, do not forget to prepare everything and the location for our group in the corner of the field near the teak tree!" Fakih said to the male members'.

"okay... Sis ready!" answer them in unison.

Create a female member, immediately prepare the cooking tools and we will make the kitchen clean and the kitchen dirty. Bring all the good equipment tools and ingredients, if all is done immediately cook food in accordance with what we bring each!" Intan's orders in the Aamilinkan by Rosa sign agree.

It was raining pretty hard that day, and then me and my friends in the tent decided to stay inside. The tent that is built is quite large in the bulkhead with the boundary between the place of the girl' and the guy' separately.

Without feeling the time goes by without being stopped by anyone and has shown at 19:00 pm, the rain has started to fall casually only the drops are still left.

Rosa asked to be accompanied to the bathroom, then we left together, while Intan was still busy commanding the girls' to make dinner for all of us. I went to take Rosa to the bathroom, on the road we were walking I felt like someone was following and calling me.

Then I asked Rosa "Cha, did you hear anything?!"

"So, actually I also feel what you feel, but I just shut up for fear later the children will know in fear and faint!" Rosa answered what I said.

"Origin don't be the one who fainted Cha, I can't lift it! hehe…!" Fakih joked a little to remove the awkward atmosphere. "Have nothing to think about, just assume there's nothing Cha!" Fakih is back.

"Yes already...! come on Kih, let's go back to the tent!" answer Rosa.

The tent that we live in is indeed far from the end of the field, dark and close to large teak trees, so it is natural that the atmosphere around the tent makes a little mystical.

"Sir Intan, may I ask no sister!?" Aldo one of the men's squads spoke up.

"Yes, what the hell is wrong!" Intan replied without turning her head and was still busy preparing their dinner with the other members of the girl squad.

"Sister Fakih ma kak Rosa is a lover?!" Continue to Ask Aldo.

"Yes, maybe not!" Answer Intan.

"Is that the answer?!" Andi spoke.

"If to your knowledge from school gossip or from the reality that is seen now how?!" Intan asked back, he paused for a moment from his activities and looked towards Aldo and Andi.

"If I was like that, brother!" Answer Aldo.

"The reason?!" Intan.

"Yes what yes...!" Aldo thought for a moment. "Gossip in school anyway they both are close to the brother, if in fact yes it is near their brother!" Aldo replied.

"Haha...! What the fuck does that mean, Do!?" Intan laughed and asked back.

"They're both dating!" Replied Rudi and Tigor simultaneously, who from the beginning were only listeners.

"But not necessarily going out!" Andi Protest.

"Sister also can not give a definite answer yes, only brother wants a little story if you all want to listen to it!" Intan.

"You brother!" All answered, who was a member of the girl's squad only heard now follow close to Intan inquisitive.

"We were five, Brother, Fakih, Rosa, Nur and Nelly from first grade together. Even the older brother from Primary School (SD) with his older brother Fakihnya lo...! So if the five of us look close to each other, that's fair!" Intan Clear.

"Bright... If Kak Intan even from Elementary School (SD) already with ma kak Fakih?!" Ask Zahra.

"Yes, it's even familiar from a long time ago!" Intan Clear.

"Sorry, brother Intan, what are there no feelings for my brother Fakihnya?!" Ask Rahma.

"Have not been further, ntar Fakih and his brother Rosa know we again gotipin them, not good anymore!" Intan's answer diverts the question from Rahma.

While Fakih and Rosa just smiled hearing their conversation that had been silent behind the corner of the tent, a look between them occurred...!

"What Kih! Look at me for all of it!" Said Rosa.

"No, I just want to ask the kids if I can answer...! We're both dating aren't we?!" Fakih asked, looking closely at Rosa.

"Bodo is very ha...! What do you answer!" Rosa rushes to leave Fakih out of her hiding place with the intention of distracting Fakih's questions and hiding her blushing happy face color.

***

Supposedly, tonight would be a nice night.

Following the night with friends, walking in the middle of the forest at midnight, breathing free air while being alert with the appearance of creatures that look or do not, may disturb us in the middle of the journey.

PRIIITS! PRIIITS!

The whistle has been blown 2 times. The sign I should gather in the field to ma’rifatul medan (MM) is to learn the way for jurit tonight.

Fakih and Intan will represent to ma’rifatul medan (MM) while the other members prepare all the completeness.

"Tan... Intan...! Haven't bathed yet? Told to gather!" I screamed from outside the bathroom.

"Belommm, wait for me, again the sabunan, nih," replied Intan from inside the bathroom.

"Cepeeet. It's 3 minutes now" cried Fakih impatiently.

"Hhhhh, yes. If I over time, elo set out to take Rosa to our group representative. Okay?" Answer Intan later.

I let out a breath.

Without answering Intan's sentence just now, I immediately ran towards the tent of the squad. Passing through a rocky path covered in wet soil due to rain. Once twice I slipped.

Arriving in the tent.

"You people! There was a whistle, which MM was told to collect, wasn't it?" my many.

"No Kih, it was the leader of the team and his representatives who were told to gather" answered Rosa.

"Have you taken a shower, Cha?" Ask Fakih.

"Udah. I was waiting for Intan, the original long time to take a bath," replied Rosa. "Most of all, take a bath in your own house, times."

5 Minutes later.

Intan hasn't been out of the bathroom.

"Wow, if it's too late, it could get a push-up penalty 20 times the same as the brother of the chief builder." Inner Fakih.

"Eh, Cha, mending elo come with me yuk! Gantiin Intan ntar even get punishment again!" Fakih.

"Yes, nothing! Yuk's leaving!" Rosa Say.

We rushed into the field shoes, ready to run towards the field. Yet…

"WAIT...!!! I WANT TO GET DRESSED FIRST! PLIS WAITIN!"

With her face without her Intan shouted while running towards Fakih.

"Haishis. Scribbles! Cha elo still departs, let the three of us who participate ma’rifatul medan (MM)" cried Fakih later.

"Yes, yeah. Forgive me," Intan rushed into the tent and put his dirty clothes on.

***

Adventure began.

We had to pass through a number of steep, slippery roads and full of wild plants. Often members of the group slipped, even though they did not fall. Through the mud, the river, even we had to skate, so steep the descent that we passed, it was not possible for us to pass by jumping or walking.

Some branches of the road are blocked with twigs, forming a cross, meaning it can not be passed. The road we had to cross was marked with a red raffia rope.

Jury tonight, we'll pass 5 posts. First, post Tri Satya and Dasa Dharma scouts. The next post is a chain message. The third post is the rote post, followed by the post telling the prophet's friend and the fifth post!

Post 4, we were greeted with dog barks that made our trip more and more “colored”. Then turn through the derivative with the same road as the camp entrance.

Because Rosa was less careful about walking, and the concentration that had been split up since earlier due to exhaustion, she tripped, slipped, and…!!!

BRUK!

Rosa held her body with her left hand, but still her hand hurt, very sick. It seems like his hand vein is interested. I immediately grabbed Rosa, limping we walked.

The rest of the group of friends I told keep going to complete the mission with Intan who took command.

Hustle and bustle still rang out outside the platoon tent. While I was still packing Rosa's body overtime into the tent, I wrapped her hands with a bandage in the P3K box that was in the tent, and his shivering body I put on a jacket so as not to get too cold.

"Where Cha's hand can be made to move!" Fakih asked Rosa who was still grimacing in pain.

"It's good! Thank you for your attention, and I didn't leave you there!" Said Rosa while trying to smile a little still enduring the pain.

"By the way Cha is, there's no need to thank you. I should have done that!" Fakih replied while looking at Rosa sadly. "Nih while eating biscuits and there is a little chocolate let the stomach fill even a little!"

Rosa tried to sit from a half-sitting position after Fakih bandaged her wound earlier, she wanted to receive biscuits and chocolate from Fakih's hand, but she was not strong so Fakih was forced to help her to sit down.

For a moment Rosa looked closely at Fakih's face, unaware that she was being noticed, and then Rosa consciously kissed Fakih's cheek.

"Cha..H...!" Fakih.

"Thank you, Kih!" Rosa said her face was completely reddish either because of her actions just now or because of her pain that she must have felt very happy.

***

A bonfire was held, all the scout group classes attended the event enthusiastically, all singing, dancing, and joking together. Not felt already at 23:00 West Indonesia Time, all friends have gone to their respective tents to sleep, all friends who are in the tent with me have also fallen asleep soundly, he said, except me.

I don't know why I couldn't sleep that night, I always remember the kiss Rosa gave me. What does all this mean?

It was 24:00 West Indonesia Time but I could not sleep, then I woke up to drink but suddenly there was that strange sound again, I started sweating, but I tried to calm myself. I tried to get out of the tent to see the situation outside, but it turned out that outside the tent the atmosphere was very quiet, quiet, and dark there was no one outside.

The strange sound turned into a crying sound that was increasingly heard clearly, my body immediately felt limp, cold sweat began to drip down my face, and my heart skipped a beat.

The sound came from behind the big tree north of my tent. Then the voice began to be heard no more.

Suddenly someone rebuked me which obviously made me very shocked. "Kih, what you're doing outside, didn't go in is already your night!" Intan reminded Fakih.

"Oooh yeah Tan!" Answer Fakih.

Intan I didn't tell you about the incident. Then I went to bed and tried to forget about it.

The next day I told Rosa everything that I had experienced last night, she said that there might actually be a subtle creature under the big teak tree, and it turns out to be true my guess that the midnight noise came from under that big tree.

"Kih, if there is a strange sound that again do not mind, because the subtle creature wants to scare you!" pinta Rosa's.

"Yes Cha...!" answer Fakih.

***

The agenda of the day was to ask for the signatures of the main Scout's elder sisters and answer questions from them. The agenda takes place from 08.00-12.00 West Indonesia Time. After that all the friends perform dhuhur prayer berjama’ah.

After the dhuhur prayer rained heavily until nightfall, I and other friends took refuge in the Primary School close to the field, because the tent I was inundated with water, because the tent I was inundated, our stuff in the tent was also wet.

Me and all my friends ended up staying at the shelter. When I was in the refugee camp I never found any more of those strange noises and other strange happenings.

The next day there was a farewell apple sign the camp had finished, the friends were all sad because the camp was felt very fast, but at that time I did not know what I was feeling, there is a sense of pleasure because it is with someone I care about, but on the other hand I am also still curious about the events that I have been experiencing.

My heart always wondered what it all meant and why it had to be me who experienced it all, but I tried to take the wisdom of the incident, he said, that is, we must believe in the existence of supernatural beings and in the presence of such events to test my faith and courage.
