Chapter 23 - The Journey ( Part 14 )

Hasan who felt bad seeing Tissa and Alya go looking for a toilet, took the initiative to follow them and guard them, worried that something unexpected would happen to the two of them.

"Let me take you guys, otherwise you'll get lost"

Finally, Tissa, Alya, and Hasan went to look for a place or public toilet.

They gathered across the forest and lit up the surroundings with the flashlight that Hasan brought.

Not far from where they were standing, there was a toilet with minimal lighting.

"Let me check first, you guys wait here"

Hasan ran to see the condition of the toilet; there was a lot of water there, but it was very dark.

Hasan realized that this was the toilet he passed when he met the mysterious climber, without thinking twice, Hasan invited Alya and Tissa to come over and gave the code that the toilet could be used.

"Come here, there's water here" Hasan half shouted to Alya and Tissa.

They both ran towards Hasan carefully.

Alya went in because she felt safe, accompanied by Hasan and Tissa, who were outside; Alya left the toilet door open.

While they were waiting for Alya to finish.

Instantly, the hair on their necks stood on end, and Hasan's neck felt like someone was blowing on it.

Hasan rubbed it, worried that an animal was crawling on his body, Hasan tried to stay calm and not look panicked.

"Alya, come out quickly. The lamp battery is afraid it will die soon"

Hasan tried to reason so that he could return to the tent immediately.

Hasan had not finished waiting for Alya.

Suddenly, the flashlight that Hasan was holding went out.

Hasan started tapping with his palm hoping it would turn back on soon.

"This lamp is something strange even though I charged it for a long time"

With grumbling lips, the lamp turned back on and Alya finished coming out of the toilet.

But… Tissa suddenly disappeared.

"Hasan, where is Tissa?" Alya asked Hasan.

"This.. huh? Where is Tissa…" Hasan panicked and looked around the toilet.

Alya started crying knowing that Tissa had disappeared.

Hasan searched and found no sign of Tissa and approached Alya to come back to the tent.

"Maybe Tissa has gone back to the tent and joined them. Let's try looking there, Al" Hasan hugged Alya and tried to calm her down.

Alya, who tried to stop crying, began to calm down and walking back to the tent.

The two of them passed through the dark forest with anxious feelings back to the tent and worried knowing that Tissa was not there.

After arriving at the tent, they were a little relieved because they saw Tissa in front of the tent with Laras trying to make a campfire to cook dinner and warm their bodies.

But Hasan realized that there was something strange about Tissa's behavior.

Hasan looked at her but Tissa just kept quiet and tried to lower her face so as not to look at Hasan.

Alya ran towards Tissa with a cheerful face again.

"Gosh Tissa, we were looking for you. I thought you were lost" Alya sat beside Tissa.

Alya didn't notice anything different about Tissa.

Hasan approached Tissa and asked her a lot of questions.

"Sa, you were waiting for Alya in the toilet with me earlier, right? Since when did you come back again?"

"I felt like there was no sign of you leaving when you were in the toilet earlier"

Hearing this question, Tissa's face suddenly turned panicked and pale.

Laras witnessed Tissa coming back again after Hasan first dropped Alya off.

"What are you, Hasan, Tissa went back to the tent, you only accompanied Alya without Tissa going there"

Hearing Laras' explanation immediately made Hasan and Alya shocked and goosebumps.

"Then the one who became our friend while there wasn't Tissa?" Alya tried to convince Hasan.

Hasan just imagined as if he couldn't believe the incident that he had just experienced.

Hasan pulled Tissa's hand and assured her that she was Tissa.

"Who are you? Tissa came with me to take Alya to the toilet! I'm sure you're not Tissa" But Tissa just answered and didn't answer him.

Laras pushed Hasan's hand away from Tissa.

"Why you being so rude to a woman!"

"Come on, Tissa, let's go inside; we can warm up in the tent," Laras invited Tissa and Alya into the tent.

And she closed the women's tent tightly.

Hasan could only sit weakly when Laras snapped at him and was annoyed with him.

Keenan tried to convince Hasan that what Laras said was true, but Tissa came back and did not follow Hasan and Alya to the toilet.

"But it was Tissa who accompanied me and Alya, I chatted and laughed with her. After that suddenly the flashlight I was holding went out"

"And the toilet became dark because there was minimal lighting thereafter I tried to turn the light back on"

"There, Tissa suddenly disappeared," Hasan explained in detail what he experienced.

But no one believed him, except Rico.

Rico realized that there was something different about Tissa because Tissa usually loves to talk.

But when he was faced with a condition like that, where Tissa usually would answer and deny it.

But this one just kept quiet and didn't answer a single question directed at her.

"I also felt something strange about Tissa, her face looked pale and her eyes seemed to be daydreaming about something"

Rico embraced and calmed Hasan so that he wouldn't think too much about it.

Rico took out three fried instant noodles that he brought and cooked them with boiling water.

Keenan, Rengga, and Riki approached and gathered to eat their dinner together.

With the leftover rice, they made in the morning.

With portions divided equally and sufficiently, they began to eat their dinner with a feeling of emotion.

"Laras, Tissa, and Alya haven't eaten; I'm afraid they are hungry too," Rengga tried to ask outside the women's tent.

But there was no answer there.

"Maybe they are already sleeping because they are tired after facing things that drain their energy all day"

Rengga sat back down to eat his food.

They had dinner together in the cold forest around the campfire with a feeling of gratitude that they were still given safety.
