The Missing Mentari
Go hunting

After finishing the bath and changing clothes, Dani came out of her room down the stairs to go to the kitchen. His stomach was very hungry because he had not eaten since the afternoon. There was his mother who was preparing for dinner together.

"eh Dan, It's down.. Let's eat"

Dani simply nodded and immediately filled the empty seat next to her papa. They began to take rice and side dishes to eat.

"And.. Have you talked to Milly on the phone?"

Dani who was busy eating, then looked at the wonder of her mother "make what ma?"

"what did you do? Yes chat aja. y'all are prospective husband and wife ya have a lot of chat"

Again Dani only resigned to the order of his mother "later aja ma"

"you're this.."

They also began to focus again on spending their dinner which is still available on the plate. However, in between dinner Dani looked at his parents. He wants to ask permission to go hunting with his friend and he will likely vacation about 2 weeks more.

"Ma, pa.. There's something Dani wants to talk about"

"talk about what?"

Dani put her spoon and fork on the plate and drank a glass of water to lower all the food into her stomach.

"this.. Nathan invited me to hunt in the XX woods.. Dani plans to join Nathan on the hunt.. Dani hasn't done that in a long time"

"where is the location? How long?" ask Rida.

"the location is in the city next to Ma.. About a week or two Dani's there"

"maybe.. Take a vacation because you are busy working. Papa can do it" said his papa.

Dani smiled at the answer from her father. Then she looked at her mother who was still silent.

"mama how? Can you let Dani go?"

Then Rida smiled as she nodded her head "by Nak.. But you have to be careful. Don't get hurt. In the forest there are many wild animals"

"thank you ma, pa.. By noon Dani's gone with Nathan"

He was very happy because his parents allowed him to go hunting with his friend Nathan. Indeed hunting is a hobby Dani because it was taught by Herman himself. But it is not for sale just to get the animal footprints only after it is treated back until healed.

"i'm done.. I'll go to the room first and get ready for tomorrow"

"yeah.."

Dani got up from her dining chair and left the kitchen area to the room by climbing the stairs one by one. After reaching the room, he picked up a medium backpack to carry his gear for tomorrow.

he took some clothes, pants, and hunting gear such as rifles, bullets, and stamps to color the animal's footprints.

After all, he put everything in his bag except for a rifle that has a special bag.

"huh.. Done too. I was good enough to go hunting so I could clear my head that was dizzy due to the matchmaking earlier" he complained.

Dani cleaned her bag and placed it near her bed. After that, he put his body on the bed and closed his eyes because it was night and tomorrow he would leave.

***

The promised day has arrived..

Nathan who did take Dani hunting, himself initiative to come to the house to pick up his best friend. With a backpack that he carried and hunting equipment he had brought. Nathan goes to Dani's house on his motorcycle.

Almost 20 minutes from his home finally arrived at the yard of Dani's house which is quite luxurious. There Nathan parked his bike in a place usually used to often park his bike. He got off the bike and started to enter Dani's house.

"good afternoon.. Um, Auntie.."

Seeing Nathan's arrival made Rida and Herman turn to the young man who had just come with a sumringah smile.

"eh Nathan's.. Old Aunt didn't see you.. You healthy?"

"healthy Aunt.. You're also getting healthier.."

"haha could be you"

"Where is om? Not ready?"

"had you come?"

"has.. Let's leave.. Wear your car yes"

"CZ.. Iyeee"

"haha.. Sorry I don't have a car"

Dani approached her parents and greeted them.

"i'll go first ma, pa"

"yes, be careful.. Do not forget to take care of your health there.. If there's anything call mama"

"yes ma.."

"ombs.. Aunt.. Nathan's gone too"

"yes please.."

"ayo" Dani asked Nathan.

They both set foot out to get out of the house with their respective equipment.The vehicle they were using was definitely Dani's car because Nathan was just carrying his motorcycle.

"has everything been put in?"

"already.. Everything's been transported.."

"yes already... We're going"

Nathan starts getting into the car and sits next to Dani who is driving his car. Do not forget to use seat belts to maintain safety. Dani started the engine of his car and slowly moved away from his home area.

Now Dani's car has entered the highway area where all vehicles both motorcycles and cars pass very quickly. In the car, Dani and Nathan talk to each other in different versions. There are from the past, the present even talks about the future.

"eh yes Dan. By the way you are fooled by his son Mr. Trisna.. Who tuh? Milly's.. Yeah Milly"

"ekhems... Heuhh.. It was also because of the nyokap that I made close to him. I don't have any feelings for that girl"

"but how do you know? I haven't told you yet" continued Dani who wondered to Nathan why he knew what the problem was now.

"Bokap I'm a friend of Mr. Trisna bro.. So I can tell because he told me. Because maybe I also know you so in the story everything is the same"

"oh that.."

"don't you come with me because of this problem?"

Dani sighed harshly while continuing to focus on driving "yes.. Rather than keep thinking.. More dizziness that exists"

"it's good also haha you never deketin girls.. Milly is also pretty to fit you"

"already lazy to talk about it that way.. Change nyetir, from earlier I continue.." said Dani who was upset because his best friend continued to talk about things that make him badmood.

"hahaha yeah-yes.."

Dani also stopped his car for a short break while changing their position. Now it's Nathan's turn to drive the car because Dani has taken it far enough. The journey they continue because if not, get there will be longer.

after traveling for approximately 2 hours, they finally arrived in the city that they really want to visit. However, to get to the forest they need time to get there. The terrain is quite adrenaline because the streets there are still rocks and soil so a little difficulty to be crossed by a car. Finally, after a winding trip the car they were riding finally stopped at a place that was quite spacious suitable for car parking.

"already arrived.. Come down.." Nathan said.

"this is the woods?"

"yes.. Here is still beautiful so the animals are also many"

they both removed their seat belts and got out of the car at the same time. Taking hours and a winding trip makes them a little tired. Before hunting, they decided to take a break to enjoy the beautiful forest scenery with very bright sunlight.

after enough rest, they then took out hunting equipment such as his rifle and bullets. Do not forget they brought food supplies for fear of hunger when in the middle of the forest later.

"let's start.."

"hm"
