Neman stowed his cellphone into his right trouser pocket when he saw Vania who was in front walking faster. Neman walked over to Vania.
Neman feel little pity when he saw Vania who was try to keep walking while limping. Neman stepped forward, then turned his back on Vania with his arms stretched out.
"Come, get on my back." Neman offered Vania to be carried once again.
"No, I can walk alone."
"Oh come on, don't be such a drama queen," said Neman insistently. "Come up, hurry."
Vania had no other choice, the cold weather around was piercing her body, forcing her to get out of there faster. The night is getting darker, the cold is freezing the body. Vania climbed back onto Neman's back to be carried.
After Vania was carried by Neman, Neman continued his journey, he walked towards the front.
After a while Neman walked, Neman was confused about where he was going. The dimming moonlight made the place darker, it was difficult to remember the previous way, so he asked Vania. "Do you remember, the way to where we fell earlier?"
Vania pointed at the random footprints visible on the snowy ground, that is the footprints of the wolves. "Just follow that trail, you'll find it."
"Those are dog footprints, stupid."
"Just follow it, we'll find our footprints later. Before the wolves chased us, we had a turning road."
Neman followed Vania's direction, he held Vania's ankles with both hands, while his gaze focused downwards. They moved back down the snowy ground with the random footprints of the wolves treading beneath the snowy ground.
After walking for a long time, Neman saw footprints in the form of shoes which were none other than his own, or Vania's.
"There are two footprints." Neman's steps is stopped when he saw two footprints in different directions.
"I think, this is where I fought the two wolves earlier," said Neman. "So, where are we going?"
"Just follow in your footsteps earlier." Vania chose to follow in Neman's footsteps, because she realized that the trail she had previously walked was very complicated. Vania was angry at that time, which made her not focus on the road anymore.
Neman was confused, trying to remember which trail he was on because the two footprints looked almost the same.
"Just try to match it first," suggested Vania.
Neman walked over to the trail leading to the right.
After getting close to the shoe trail that was pointing to the right, Neman immediately adjusted his feet to the trail. After adjusting it and finding it fit, Neman was sure that these were his footprints. "Well, this is it."
Neman walked in the direction of the trail. After a while, the trail led him back to where he was and Vania who fell from above.
Recognizing that place, Vania asked to be taken down. "Lemme down."
Neman lowered Vania from his back slowly, according to Vania's request.
Vania walked to the place where she had fallen before, she only saw thick snow that had a hole in it due to her falling.
Neman also went to where he had fallen earlier, checking if there was anything strange. Neman pondered and thought, he is very lucky that the ground here has thicker snow so that it can be a pillow when he falls, if Neman falls in another place that has less snow, Neman does not dare to think about what bad things will happen to him.
After a while he checked where he fell, Neman went back to check on Vania. Neman was confused to see Vania who looked restless, Neman immediately approached him to make sure if he was okay.
Vania looks very worried, sweat profusely, never been so worried in her life since Lisa pranked herself by pretending to be dead.
Neman looked at Vania with his expression that looked desperate. Vania sat pensively, with her hands close to her knees.
Neman approached her to ask how she was, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you tired, huh?"
Neman sat down, his buttocks touched the cold snow, Neman tried to calm Vania who was sitting pensively beside him. "Why are you tired, the one who walked from earlier was just me, right."
Tears dripped down, the white snow became wet from the tears falling from Vania's eyelids. Vania began to sob, unable to hold back her tears because of anxiety.
Neman's tone became friendly. "Hey?" the ending of the word is changed to soft tone when it reaches the end. "What's happen?"
Vania sobbed, Neman felt sorry for seeing her become like that. Indeed, Neman often makes other people like this, for some reason he becomes concerned at this time, whether because of his oath or wanting to repent.
"We, we …" Vania tried to hold back her cried, she began to speak in a strange tone because she was still crying. "Stuck here."
Neman became silent stiffly, for a moment his gaze was blank. Neman who was sitting under the snow was also pensive remembering something.
"How is my Mom doing over there?" Said Vania who was still crying bitterly.
"Anyway," Vania stood up. "I have to go home, I don't care how to."
Vania started walking in an unknown direction.
Neman watched Vania who was stand up "Hey."
Vania then quickened her pace, then tried to run as hard as she could in an unknown direction by forcing her leg which was still hurt.
Neman shouted for Vania, "Woyy!!!" But Vania ignored it. Neman stood up, running after Vania.
Neman caught up Vania who was limping with all her speed, she ignoring the pain in her leg. Tears dripped every step that Vania took.
"Heh! Where are you going?! We don't know what this place is?" Neman higher his tone to Vania while tightly holding his left hand.
"Let me go!!! I want to go home!" Vania swayed her left hand to the side many times to escape from Neman's tight grip. Her right hand also pushed Neman's right hand to let go of her left hand.
"Yeah I know! But where do you wanna go, huh?!!" Neman shouted while looking at Vania's face, which looked sad and sad accompanied by clear water that kept coming out of her eyelids. "You think it's only you who's sad, Huh?! Me too!"
Vania looks very desperate, the pain that pierces but does not bleed she is feeling right now. A mama's child like Vania cannot be separated from her mother, always longs for the warmth of love that her mother gives to her. Someone like Vania can't be away from the person she loves, even though only a few hours have passed, Vania is very worried and really misses her family and friends who are where she came from.
"Wh-so, how to ..." tears could not be stopped anymore, Vania continued to cry.
Neman hugged Vania to himself, trying to calm Vania down.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way."
Vania continued to cry in Neman's body. Tears soaked Neman's Scout uniform, the brown color deepened when her tears touched Neman's uniform.
