The Story of the Little Beggar
New Journey

After celebrating their graduation as scholars, Maya, Dian, Irfan, and Rizal begin their first steps towards a challenging adult. They have earned a bachelor's degree in their chosen field, and now they must face the real world that awaits.

Maya began her career as a historian in a city museum. He finds himself so fascinated by his work that it allows him to delve into the history and culture of the city he lives in. The natural atmosphere surrounding the museum, with its flower-filled garden, always inspired him in his pursuit of knowledge.

Dian, despite having graduated as a management expert, still runs their social projects. He founded a charitable foundation focused on the education of disadvantaged children. Every week, she visits schools in the surrounding area, provides help in the form of books and school supplies, as well as giving inspiring lectures to young students.

Irfan pursued a career as a programmer at a leading technology company. He is passionate about creating software that is beneficial to many people. Her spare time is often spent strolling through city parks, looking for inspiration for her programming projects.

While Rizal pioneered his own business, a small business consulting firm. He works closely with customers from various industries, helping them improve the efficiency and productivity of their business. His demanding work made him have to travel to various places, but he always took the time to gather with his friends.

Even though they had entered the adult phase, their friendship remained strong. Every month, they hold regular meetings at one of their favorite cafes to talk about their work, life, and future plans. The natural atmosphere around the cafe always makes them feel comfortable.

At one meeting, they sat on the terrace of a cafe overlooking the lake. The sun sets behind the hills, creating spectacular colors in the twilight sky.

"We've gone so far since we first met in the city park" Maya said with a smile. "And I feel so lucky to have friends as good as you guys."

"We also feel the same, Maya," said Dian. "We have grown up together, and our friendship is one of the most important things in my life."

Irfan added, "Nothing can replace our relationship. We've always been with each other in joy and sorrow."

Rizal smiles. "This is just the beginning of the many adventures that await us. Let's face it all together. We can do it."

As the sun sets completely and the stars begin to appear in the sky, these four friends feel optimistic about their long-term future. Although new challenges await, they know that with their firm friendship, they can overcome everything.

In the distance, the glittering light of the city signified an ongoing life. And on the shores of a quiet lake, these four friends share their infinite stories, laughter and dreams.

After years of career and adventure, Maya, Dian, Irfan, and Rizal feel that they have achieved stability in their lives. However, something unexpected happened that would shake the foundation of their lives.

On a sunny day, Maya, Dian, and Rizal gather in the city park where they first met. They sat under a tall tree, enjoying the gentle sunlight and the cool breeze that stroked their faces.

"There's something I want to talk about," Maya said with a serious face while sitting on a chair.

Dian and Rizal looked at him curiously. "What's going on, Maya?" ask Dian.

Maya takes a breath. "I got word from my friend. They found a note from his long-dead father."

Maya lowered her head for a moment before answering. "His father was an archaeological researcher. He always talked about his last expedition before he died. But he never came home from that expedition, and we always assumed he had died in an accident. However, this note reveals something I never knew."

Irfan, Dian, and Rizal listened attentively.

"In that note, my father wrote about a huge archaeological discovery" Maya continued. "He found clues about an ancient site that supposedly contained a huge treasure trove. But more surprisingly, he also wrote that there are some who want to master the discovery."

"Why didn't they tell him before?" asked Dian in a tone of astonishment.

"According to her father's records, she felt threatened and felt better about keeping this a secret. He left a clue about the location of the site, and I'm the only one who knows it now. My friend asked for help because he was very sick"

Irfan who spoke via video call commented, "This can be very dangerous, Maya. We have to be careful."

Maya nodded. "That's why I wanted to ask you guys for help. I want to go to the location of the site and try to uncover the secret that has been hidden."

Dian, Rizal, and Irfan agree to help Maya. They know that this adventure is full of risks, but they don't want Maya to face it alone.

A few weeks later, these four friends set out to the location of an ancient site hidden in the wilderness. They have to walk through unkempt roads and face various natural obstacles such as swift rivers and wild forest rats.

As they approached the location that the Maya believed to be the site, the natural atmosphere around them became increasingly gripping. The giant uprooted trees created a sinister shadow, and the forest wind whispered in a strange voice.

Suddenly, Irfan who was in the front row gave a signal to stop. "I heard a strange noise" he whispered to the others.

Everyone stopped their steps and listened. Rumbling sounds like people working rang out from a distance. They feel their adrenaline rising, and Maya clutches her father's notes tightly.

"We must continue," Rizal said firmly. "We've got here, and we can't back down now."

They continued their journey carefully, following the rumbling sound. After a while, they arrived at the edge of a cliff. And beneath them lay a giant cave hidden in the ground.

"We have arrived" Maya said in a hopeful tone.

However, before they could celebrate this discovery, a spotlight of lights suddenly dazzled them from inside the cave. And an evil chuckling sound filled the air.

"Welcome, Maya," said someone from inside the cave. "I've been waiting for your arrival."
