Flashing lightning came back, making Eman feel happy because he felt illuminated.he immediately ran towards Saung, and finally he arrived at the destination. without thinking long Eman went inside, hunting the fire that seemed to be billowing out smoke.

"It seems that here is very shade, hopefully I don't freeze to death" said Eman while continuing to remove the clothes that have been torn, the clothes he squeezed until pale then the clothes were used again, Eman said, then he took off his pants, like his clothes, the pants were squeezed dry, then put back on.

After drying his clothes by squeezing, Eman approached the burning fire, then he blew the fire to enlarge and can warm his body.

Long trying finally the fire that initially only issued smoke, now emit embers that slightly illuminate the state of Saung, plus Eman's body feels warm not as shivery as before. Because he uses bamboo woven into the cover of Saung.

Eman sat on a pile of straw, bringing his palm closer to the fire, making the hand feel warm easing the coldness that tormented him, while warming the body Eman eyes continue to scan the entire area of the buffalo cage, which looks brightly lit by the burning fire.

"Like it's a cassava tree, Coincidentally can be used as a hungry stomach booster, it's okay to be called a thief also rather than starving to death," said Eman while rising from his seat, his eyes scanned upwards then to the right and left sides, until they came to a halt in one of the worn-out Yang shafts, which hooked at the elbows of the cage.

Without thinking long Eman took the cetok was then used on his head, with great caution and calculations Eman walked closer to the cassava tree beside the buffalo cage. after he pulled the tree so that 4 very large bulbs, as big as an adult's hand.

Immediately Eman pulled the cassava tree was brought into the Saung, Arriving near the burning fire immediately he broke the tubers from the trunk, then the tubers were put into the burning fire, while keeping warm the body.

The longer the campfire was getting bigger, making Eman's clothes drenched look billowing out smoke, removing the liquid that was still retained. Eman was calm to be able to shelter in that place because the rain did not go inside, his hands continued to flip the burning cassava that was above the coals, and his hands continued to flip, while continuing to massage the Cassava to check the level of maturity.when pressed the tail and felt the cassava was ripe, Eman immediately ate the cassava that has matured, he said, while the raw ones he put back into the embers.

Such was Eman's work, he continued to eat the part of cassava that was ripe, while the rest of the immature he burned again, until finally one cassava was spent. after that he took the other cassava to fill the stomach which from this morning was only filled with meat and fried foods from Salamah.

Two burnt cassava was spent by Eman, making his stomach feel full, even the sound of burping sound. But unfortunately when he wanted to drink he could not find water, even though it was raining but it could not be drunk.

The wind continued to blow without stopping to hit the standing trees, making dry twigs sound kmeretek, then fell down submerged by the swift water of the comberan. buffalo and cows in the cage look prone while chewing, their eyes look rounded they can not sleep because they are disturbed by the presence of people who take shelter.

Eman continued to sit in front of the fire, he did not dare to leave the place, because the cold continued to burst, making his body feel shivering. If he felt bored by facing the fire, he tilted his body, too, even to his back so that his butt feels warm.

Over time the rain was seen to subside, his voice was slightly reduced not too rumbling like earlier.The wind was seen to be silent, but lightning still continued to be heard at the beginning with the sparkling lightning that split the darkness of the night, but the lightning still continued to be heard, illuminate the water falling from the leaves.

About midnight the rain subsided completely, leaving only a small drizzle. So as to make Eman look evoked body, his waist feels very sore, his skin feels dry because it is too long close to the fire. Eman did not realize that he had spent One room of Saung wall that he took little by little to be used as firewood.

"Well, how's it going...? surely Saung's will feel lost," said Eman who looks incredulous while pulling back Arai room that is still left, then he put it into the fire. "But that's okay, because it's urgent," continued Eman's heart while coming out of Saung so as to cause a cold that pierced into the stomach. immediately Eman folded his hands in front of his chest, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding area, afraid that someone else would notice, but who would walk in such a state, he said, because even Eman was at his house, he would have been under the blanket by hugging the bolster in his room.

Eman began to step his feet back, leaving Saung who was seen illuminated by the fire that was about to be extinguished, because the firewood was about to run out. Eman continued to walk through the darkness of the night, but lucky once in a while like to look sparkling lightning that illuminates, so that Eman can ensure the state of his footing.

With the struggle and persistence, finally Eman was back to the house Mang sarpu. Eman was surprised, because the door of the house was suddenly opened so that the light of the lantern was as bright as the yard.

"Listen....! how come there are still people who haven't slept?" eman said while looking for a safe place to hide, he did not dare to show himself because he was afraid of being hunted like this afternoon.

While the person who came out was a mang sarpu followed by Jana and Dadun, the three people continued chatting while waiting for the rain to subside.

"Where are they going, what are you going to do, so it has to be three people like that?" eman's heart with eyes fixed on those people
