After Dark's
Back Home

The other children woke up hearing our screams. They rushed out, we kept screaming for help in the tent.

"Who's in the tent?" yell, Wilsa

"This is Alea's tent sir" Tamya said

"Tolonggg"

Alea sobbed, sobbing,

"Open Lulu's zipper" Bara said

"Can't, the zipper's broken" I said

Brother Gani ran into his tent and picked up the scissors. Bara ripped the tent with scissors. They saw us with pale faces.

"Take water" said Mr. Gio

Bara gave me water, my breath is still very messy. After we started to calm down a little bit, Wilsa asked about what happened.

"Why? why are you yelling?" ask Wilsa

"Aaadddaaa" Alea spoke sobbing

Vera's sister was clinging to Gani's shirt.

My heart is still beating, I hold my heart. His heart rate was getting faster, so I had trouble breathing.

"Luluuu" said Bara

Bara held my cheek, I looked at her.

"Take a slow breath" said Bara

I take a slow breath. The other kids were wondering what happened to us. Erika's condition began to improve, she recounted all the events.

They checked the back of the tent. But nothing was found.

The other kids are starting to get scared.

"Father, you are all calm" said Mr. Fajar.

Because it's still three o'clock. Mr. Wilsa told the other children to go back to sleep.

"Our parents are scared" said one student

"Do not be afraid, father, Mr. Dawn and Mr. Gio will sit outside to keep you guys" said Wilsa

Hearing that made their panic slightly less. Our tent has been torn. the guest asked permission to Mr. Fajar to bring Alea to his tent. While we slept fined by Gani.

Brother Gani, Bara, Nino and Bintang sit outside with Mr. Wilsa, Mr. Fajar and Mr. Gio. Wandu also accompanied them.

Wandu's sister is Erika's boyfriend. Kak Wandu is one class with Kak Gani, he is also a close friend of Kak Gani.

They checked around the camp, but found nothing suspicious.

Morning at 07.45 wib

This morning we all woke up late. Tamya ran out of the tent to meet Mr. Fajar.

Alea had a high fever after the incident last night. Mr. Fajar asked Tamya to take the P3K box in the Baral. The guest went to meet Bara.

Some of the children went down to wash their faces. I went with Brother Vera to the river.

Four villagers came to the forest to deliver food. Mr. Wilsa told them about last night.

One of the residents said that such mystical events are common in this forest.

What happened last night is normal. If there's one thing we do and they don't like it then something worse happens.

Mr. Wilsa then asked,

"Then what should we do, sir?"

"You better go home today. We are afraid that something worse will happen" said one resident

"We've only been here for a day, the children also do not do anything strange in this forest" said Mr. Gio.

"We only give advice sir, but you should get out of this forest before afternoon" said one resident

******

Alea's condition is getting worse. Alea shivered after taking the medicine.

"You wait here for a minute"

Mr. Fajar out of the tent to meet Mr. Gio.

Mr. Gio was seen arguing with Mr. Wilsa.

"They haven't done anything here" Gio said

"Didn't you just hear there is one student who may have done things that are prohibited in this forest" said Wilsa

"Who? who's theone? (sir Wilsa is silent) you cannot answer" said Mr. Gio

Mr. Fajar asked about what happened. Mr. Wilsa explained it, though,

"We'd better get out of here" said Mr. Fajar

"Do you believe in such a thing?" ask Gio sir

Mr. Wilsa's decision is unanimous, he will come out of this forest. Mr. Gio refused it because, Mr. Gio felt the children could still enjoy this camping.

Amidst the debate, Tamya ran over to Mr. Fajar.

"Sir, Alea is getting worse sir, his breathing is now starting to tight continue to arise red rashes on his face" said Tamya

"Let's go home now" said Mr. Fajar

Mr. Fajar told us to take care of things. While Mr. Gio is still unanimous with his decision.

Mr. Fajar said that our class would come home now, Wilsapun sir came with us.

Brother Gani tried to persuade Mr. Gio to come home. The other children also asked Mr. Gio for them to come home. The kids started to fuss with fear.

Inevitably, Mr. Gio also decided to go home.

"Well if that's the case, get all your things done.we'll leave in 20 minutes" said Mr. Gio

We all cleaned things up, opened the tent and cleaned the area around the tent.

After all the items were packed, Mr. Fajar told us to eat first before leaving. Because the food has been delivered so it will taste mulazir if not eaten, besides that we also have to fill our energy.

We started to come out of the forest. Mr. Wilsa asked us to stay together.

"Not until there is misah or left behind" shouted Mr. Wilsa

Alea was carried by Mr. Fajar.

I brought Alea one bag, Brother Gani took the bag.

"Let's bring the brother" said Brother Gani

We stopped a few times on the way. After more than an hour we finally came out of the forest.

Outside the forest we still have to wait until noon, because the bus is on its way here and will likely arrive here at two in the afternoon.

"We'll wait for the bus here first. Find a shady place to rest" said Mr. Fajar

Mr. Fajar had already ordered a grab to take Alea to the hospital first. Mr. Pajar, Alea and Tamya will go home first by taxi.

"Bara, I'm sending the children to you, yes, do not forget to make sure everything will get on the bus" said Mr. Fajar

"Alright sir (opening the car door, Mr. Fajar get in the car) you don't have to worry, I will take care of them" said Bara

Mr. Dawn also said goodbye to Wilsa and Mr. Gio.

The sun is getting hotter. In addition to the heat we also feel hungry after waiting three hours here. The children took out the snacks in their bags and put them down. Those who want to be allowed to take it.

Suddenly a classmate said,

"A completely unpleasant side. Who told you to camp in the woods"

"True, already know the forest was chosen" said another upperclassman.

"What do you want to argue about here? everything has happened" said Gani

The classmate stared at our cynics.

At 13:45 the bus finally arrived. We got on the bus. Bara and Kak Gani serve first before leaving.

I sat alone in seat number four. After Bara finished his service, he sat next to me. Bara took off his jacket and gave it to me.

On the way home, we all fell asleep because we were tired. A camping experience that should have been fun but even a terrible one for us.
