Cerita tentang Guru dan Murid

By the way, let me introduce them, from the movie. The first person was me, the camera guy. The person at the very front without shirt named Mernidon, we called him Nidon, the shooter. The person in front of me - with white shirt was Dance, we called him Dan. The person in front of Dan was Taslim, we named him Taslan. Taslim wanted to become a pastor; we assigned him to carry water. The person with blue shirt was called Meksi - Mernidon’s little brother. We assigned him to carry ammo and logistics.

We were separated in the forest. Nidon and Taslim got lost. We decided to leave Nidon and Taslim Fiti Burung, while the rest of us went to the top of the hill. The walk up to the hill was so far, and we had to walk through little creek.

Half an hour, Nidon and Taslim catched us on the top. They only got three birds, as they had problem with the barrel and the bullets. We opened our logistics there and had our lunch together.

Before dark, we took lots of pictures under the dark clouds covering the Sun on the west while the east coast was still bright with blue sky and light clouds. The day soon became night, and cool breeze embraced the dawn. We packed up, lighted our torched and went home.

New Beginning

The story does not stop there. Every night these kids come over and stay at my place. We pray every day in the morning, we study bible at night. I become big brother to them.

My wish is they are always with me and are eager to learn and grow, not only as students with knowledge but as God-fearing people. So eventually, we could defeat the story of losing.
