Finally, after few hours, Brent and Lilian have returned safely to their campsite. All of them welcomed their arrival with relieved hearts. As soon as Andrew saw Lilian, he instantly runs toward her and hugs her tightly.
Brent watching them from behind with a surprise. He actually feels a little envy for their close friendship. But, not only Andrew suddenly, Darren and Grey also come forward and hug Lilian. He becomes more furious to see that.
He just looked at them from behind silently. He watches them like an eagle eye. Then, he suddenly shouts firmly and asks all the facilitator senior to gathering. Darren and Grey were startled. They quickly follow Brent from behind. Both Stefan and Rianna also come to the other side where they have to gather together.
Looking at the situation, Lilian saw Brent's face were little changes. His face becomes cold again.
''Andrew...did something happen before?''
''Err-uh...Uhm...''
''You better tell me the truth.''
''Actually...I'm not sure but...I...I...!''
''What?''
''I punched Senior Brent in the face just now,'' Andrew said nervously.
''What?! Andrew! Why are you doing that?''
''I-I...I just feel angry at him because he asks both of you to do the run. And I really worried about you two.''
''Puff! Andrew...! That not mean you can punch him. He is our senior.''
''Yeah, I know...I just too emotional.''
I just take a deep sighing. I was speechless.
''Lilian!'' Lexi suddenly called me out from behind.
''Lexi! How are you? Are you okay? How were your legs?'' I run toward her and check on her legs.
''Don't worry, I'm okay. Andrew already takes care of it earlier. How about you? Are you okay? I'm really worried that something would happen to you.''
''No-no...I'm okay too. I'm glad that you are fine too.''
''Come, give me a hug!'' Both of us hug warmly there.
''I want a hug too!'' Andrew immediately pulls Lilian and Lexi into his arms. They burst into laughter together.

Later on, we continue our activities until evening. Basically, most of the activities we do today are using our physical strength. We doing some activities like a tug war, water balloon dodge ball and so on. It was a really tiring day.
After a few hours, our games were over. All of us look exhausted. I was exhausted too and I haven't in a long time to do this kind of activity. I walk toward Lexi that sitting near the tree. She the only one who exclude to join the activity because of her legs. I wish that I'm the one who sprinkled the legs.
''Lexi...help me...I need water...'' I said while walking toward her tiredly.
''Here.''
''Me too!'' Andrew said. He laid himself down next to Lexi.
''Andrew! Keep yourself a little away from me...your body is wet!''
''Oh yeah? Come closer, let me hug you!'' Andrew teases her. He spreading his arms and pretend to hug her.
''Andrew! No!'' Lexi shouts.
''I'm quit!'' I quickly walk away from there and I going to another place. I saw an empty space behind not far from there. I headed toward there and I saw a beautiful tree there. The tree has a blue and light purple on it. I am curious about the keeper of this forest.
I slowly walk closer and gently touched the leaves at the tree. The scenery here was beautiful. No wonder this place is called the Blue Fantasy Forest. At that moment, I slowly close my eyes and spread my arms. I slowly take my deep breath and exhale it. I felt peaceful...
Then, when I still close my eyes and feels the breeze air...I suddenly feel someone was closer to me. I could feel his breath close to mine...his hand twine on my waist...his fragrance...
''Brent??'' My mouth unexpectedly call his name.
''You call me?''
''Huh?'' I was startled. I immediately open my eyes and turn back. I saw Brent stood behind me.
''Uhm...Senior...Brent...''
''Why you call my name?''
''Umm...did I?? I think you misheard. Err-uh...How long have you been standing there?'' I ask him nervously.
''Just now''
''Did you... really didn't come here earlier?''
''No.''
''Oh...I see...'' I was curious. Actually...why I keep smelling the same fragrance when I close with him.
''So, what are you doing here?''
''Mmm...I just walk around and I found this empty space. This place really beautiful...''
''You want to know something about this forest?''
''I love to.''
''Did you know why this place calls by the blue fantasy forest?''
''No. But...I heard from others that this place was conquered by someone that was not a human a long time ago.''
He chuckles. ''So...did you believe it or not?''
''Umm...I'm not too sure but...I will believe it if it happens in front of my eyes.''
''Actually...this place is full of miracles. If you are lucky, your wish will become true.''
''What? Are you serious?''
''I'm the senior here. You should believe in me.''
''I think you lie to me. Well, I guess...there must be many who has spread these fake fantasy stories.''
''Okay, if like that, can you tell me your wish. Just say whatever you want.''
''Right now?''
''Yes...''
''Uhm...I have three wishes.''
''Just say it...''
''Firstly, I wish that after I graduate...I want to receive many job offers that come to me. Secondly, I wish...I can celebrate my birthday this year and the following year like everyone else...'' I suddenly stop my words.
''What happened? Why did you stop?''
''Uh...um...nothing. Sorry...I-I...I can't continue my words...'' I tried to hold my tears.
''Did something bad happen on your birthday?''
''My mom...she was gone after giving birth to me...she had written a letter to me before and say that I have to celebrate my birthday as a special day even though she has left me. She will be happy...but I...I can't...I can't celebrate it...'' I said with a trembling voice. I can't hold my tears anymore and I shed tears there.
Looking at her crying, Brent slowly pulls her into his embrace. He gently stroke her hair and give her a soft kiss on her head. After a few minutes, I realized something. I was in his arms! My heart pounding faster!
''Err-uh...Senior...I-I...I'm sorry...I suddenly feel too emotional.'' I quickly wipe my tears.
''It's okay. So, did you feel better?''
''Uhm...yeah.'' I felt embarrassed at that time.
I don't know why but I really feel warm when he next to me. I feel that I can tell him everything about my sorrowful life...I realize that we still stranger to each other but when we closer...my heart keeps calling for him.

Meanwhile, Lexi and Andrew were sitting together. Like always, they will quarrel with each other but...for this time, Andrew was gentle toward her. He will give in and only listen to her words. Lexi noticed that, but she didn't want to ask him because they might be feeling awkward.
She just thought that maybe he likes that because of her legs. After all, they were a friend for a long time, and she knows him better.
But, in fact...like other people always say...if the friendship between a girl and a guy, there gonna one of them will fall in love. And this is happening at Lexi and Andrew. Truly, Lexi has fallen in love with Andrew for a long time since they in high school.
She hasn't said it to him because she didnt wants to lose their friendship. Besides that, she also didnt have encouragement to confess to him. Sometimes, she can feel that Andrew has the same feeling as her but sometimes, he didnt shows it.
Until now...she had to hide her feelings and had to treat him as her best friend.

On the other side, Rianna was sitting alone. She only looking at Stefan from afar. She feels upset because Stefan still hides his feelings even though he also loves her too. He still has that confidence to be together with her.
Actually, Rianna just needs him to through all this hunch together with her. She knows that they have a different background, but she really has a genuine heart for him. They had started their relationship before and broke up after that.
And for now, she determined to make him fall in love with her again and she promises to get their relationship back.
