The next day, a bright morning smiled at the world, accompanied by a cool but refreshing breeze sighing into every breath in tune with the song of birds. A man came out and opened the curtains on the door of a small hut.
"I woke up like I was in heaven, everything felt unreal." the man muttered as he stepped outside.
"Oh, you are awake. How do you feel?" A middle-aged woman wearing white long sleeves came to meet the man.
"I feel so much better, although still a bit pain this is much better than me being dead, haha."
"Thank goodness. Go to the second area on the valley below, people are ready for breakfast, your daughter is already there too."
"Thank you, Madam."
The voices of many people gathered and were happy to enjoy breakfast in the middle of the open field, the joyful atmosphere was accompanied by the cool morning breeze and the flying birds seemed to enliven the atmosphere. After everything was over, and everyone returned to their respective activities, there were about 5 people gathered to discuss something, they planned to visit Uncle Kusuma's home village to bury the residents, especially Uncle Kusuma's wife, but also to check whether there were still survivors.
From the results of the discussion, it was decided that they would go with seven people, including Uncle Kusuma. The seven people are my father Tejo, Uncle Kusuma, Uncle Handoko, Mas Fajar, Mas Gatot, Uncle Darno, and Mas Kelik. Meanwhile, Uncle Wawan and Mas Koco were assigned to stay in the village because, among the others, only Uncle Wawan and Mas Koco could be said to be stronger and have more abilities than the others. After hearing this news, Alisa rushed to meet her father and cried whining asking to come, but her father refused because it was too dangerous and hoped that her daughter would remain in the village, with some advice, finally Alisa complied with her father's request not to come.
It was almost noon, and they were getting ready to leave. My gang and I were secretly stalking and following them but we were caught by Mas Koco. When we almost gave up to go on an adventure, my father suddenly passed by and found us being advised by Mas Koco, "Hey, what are you kids doing?" While carrying a fairly large package.
"These boys want to run away and follow you, Mr. Tejo." Mas Koco answered, raising his right eyebrow like an old man.
"Father, let us come! We already want to go on an adventure!"
"Yes, Uncle Tejo, you know we are good kids, right ?! tehee .." Candra agreed with a grimace.
"Yes, come on uncle, may we please .." the five of us whining. For a moment my father looked at us while stroking his chin which had started to grow a short beard.
"Hmm ..."
"Hmm ..." the five of us mimicked it, while Mas Koco sighed while holding his forehead.
"Okay ... but"
"Horraayy !!"
"Hey, kids listen first! You can come, but only two kids can go."
"Is that so ?? It's not fair!"
"I know your abilities, so I will choose to allow Yuji and Candra to participate. Because Yuji can defend himself while Candra is good at using arrows and his good eyesight."
"Yah! It's not fair! I'm strong! Why can't I come !?" Bisma, Rendra, and Doni were disappointed to hear this.
"Kid! Listen." My father explaining while raising his finger.
"Doni, you are strong right? Bisma, you are also agile, and you are Rendra, you are also strong. But you have never been far away, and we do not know what kind of place is out there."
"Do you hear that?" Mas Koco said with a sly smile.
"Besides, the settlement where we live is important to you, isn't it?"
"Hu uh .." Everyone nodded.
"Therefore, I, as the new village head, commission those of you who did not go along, to guard our abode with all your might!"
"Are you ready Soldier?!"
"Yes, Sir!!" With sparkling eyes and burning enthusiasm, the three of them finally agreed to stay.

When it was getting late, we immediately walked off on our journey. We went on foot because at this time we had neither vehicles nor large livestock to ride.
The journey to the outside world has begun, I'm so excited!
