Chapter 22

Everyone's destiny cannot be changed. If destiny has spoken we can only accept it, surely everyone wants fate to be on their side.

Expectations that are too high sometimes make us want a good destiny too. Trying to live every journey of life to be better is one of them, there are so many problems that come and go. Headaches occur, when the problem does not improve.

We need someone who always understands our situation. When there is a problem, for example, he will be ready to listen. I really want to know someone like that from the bottom of my heart.

What else is he the opposite sex? It could be me and him being us. Now I am very happy because that person I have found, he accepts all the shortcomings.

He didn't care about all the shortcomings, he always gave a solution to the problems I was experiencing.

Angga Aditama. A teenager with memories of a bleak past, a past he doesn't want to repeat. He wants to change his future for the better with a woman he just met a few days ago, Lidya Margareth.

Lidya similarities and Nadya Angga past made her interested, even though Lidya's life here is sadder than the late Nadya.

Having a sweet smile and a face that almost looks like Nadya seems to hypnotize Angga, that smile was what he had been looking for after 3 years of not seeing him.

A smile full of happiness that covers the extreme pain, Lidya is the second woman who can enter his heart. Not that Angga is picky in finding a partner.

He doesn't want to get a partner who doesn't think like himself. Lidya is the fastest person to enter Angga heart. With Nadya alone, Angga still needs months to put his heart but not with Lidya.

Maybe fate brought the two of them together. Good destiny said. Lidya and Angga had finished resting, they both decided to return to continue their journey.

The trip this time was different from the previous one, where there was silence and no talk.

Now there is a lot of talk and the atmosphere is like the world belongs to the two of them plus they are holding hands, a heart that is hurt by someone's departure joins a heart that is broken by the reality of life becomes the strong foundation of their relationship.

They complement each other. This relationship seems to be lasting to a more serious level, but all this is not necessarily certain.

Lidya's hypotension may not necessarily be cured like her cousin Nadya. Hopefully the disease can recover quickly and Angga will not return to being a sad boy.

"Okay, kids, because it's already half past ten, let's start the research. Before we start, I'm absent one by one," Mr. Nathan said then walked away to the bag that was on the bicycle.

He took out a book and some papers which were student worksheets.

He returned and immediately absent all students.

"Aditya Chandrawinata."

"I am here Sir."

"Alletha Beby Gems."

"I am here Sir."

"Danendra Alfius son."

"I am here Sir."

He continued to attend every student and when Lidya's section there was no answer.

"Lidya Gabriela Margareth. Please Lidya Margareth answer my call," Mr. Nathan shouted a little so that Lidya answered.

All the students, including Aditya and his friends, joined in the search for Lidya's whereabouts.

"Sorry sir, Lidya hasn't arrived here yet. Looks like she's still on her way with her group of friends," Aditya said telling Mr. Nathan.

"Do you know who Lidya was in a group with?" Ask Mr. Nathan to confirm Lidya's whereabouts.

"If I'm not mistaken, he was with Sis Angga. Before entering the forest, I saw the two of them walking together," Aditya is clear.

"Okay, thank you, so now let's start the research. I will handle Lidya and Angga in a moment. I will distribute worksheets and please fill them out according to the instructions. Don't forget to take pictures of each activity while doing research. The table of observations and research results are immediately recorded on the paper. When you return to Village X, take a new paper to rewrite the results, thank you," obviously Mr. Nathan and his students went to work.

Under the tree, Mr. Nathan held his forehead which was in pain, he was thinking about how Lidya and her sister Angga were doing. He was afraid that Angga would leave Lidya alone in the forest. He knew exactly what his sister was like.

Earlier, Mr. Nathan clearly saw the look on Angga's face that did not like the group with Lidya. Even though this morning they were still hugging, he deliberately showed Aditya about Lidya's group of friends as a form of small talk.

It's been 5 minutes since Mr. Nathan was thinking about the two children, suddenly from the path to the right of Mr. Nathan appeared Lidya and Angga walking hand in hand. Mr. Nathan immediately stood up and approached the two of them, the bad thoughts about his brother turned out to be wrong.

Mr. Nathan wondered why now their faces were happy and they held hands, not knowing what had happened earlier in the forest so they both made up again. Don't think about it first, what is more important now is their job because the main purpose here is to do l tasks.

"It's been a long time, the two of you, the others have already arrived. Now they're still going to research. Oh, it's okay to walk hand in hand," Mr. Nathan said as he approached the two of them.

Lidya and Angga who realized that they had not let go of their hands immediately let go, they were too busy holding hands that they forgot to let go.

"What are you doing? On the road, we met a snake, it took a long time. Where is the snake hard to get rid of?" Angga lie.

When he wanted to tell the truth to Mr. Nathan that he had been kissing Lidya for a long time, it was impossible. If told, Angga might go crazy because the older brother keeps teasing the younger brother.

"Then what? Lidya isn't hurt, is she," Mr. Nathan panicked while circling Lidya's body to make sure she was in good condition.

He was worried if Lidya was wrong. Lidya's mother has advised Mr. Nathan to keep Lidya fine.

"Sis, please, there's nothing wrong with us because the snake doesn't bite and doesn't attack. Then you don't worry about me like that? I met Lidya with a snake, why don't I just leave it like that," said Angga sulking.

"You're a boy, you must be strong, different from Lidya who is a girl. If she is, why is there a big problem," Mr. Nathan replied casually.

"Yes, you and Lidya immediately join your friends, this is a paper for research content. First, write it down as a scratch. Come back to Village X in a moment and take a new sheet to copy. Brother, go first," Mr. Nathan said leaving them.

"Hahaha, your face when you frown is so cute, Angga." Lidya said while laughing seeing Angga's unfriendly face. He still resented his brother's words.

"I'm still angry when I'm cute, want me to eat you huh?" Answer Angga increasingly emotional with Lidya's behavior.

"If you dare come here to eat me, I won't run away," Lidya challenged Angga who was getting emotional.

He laughed seeing Angga's angry face, but he looked cute. Angga immediately ran to Lidya and chased her. The two of them chased each other, the task that was given to them was removed first. They were both busy themselves joking around.

From a distance, Mr. Nathan smiled happily seeing their interaction, he was happy because Angga was able to laugh so happily while teaching Lidya.

"Finally the smile reappeared Angga, congratulations, you have found your idol."
