Menunai after the dawn prayer, meditating on the mat Mas prayers. Forest dwellers still wake up from sleep, the situation is desolate. Outside the tent, it was still dark. Today enters third day they camped at Kuala Marong. Tomorrow they will return to Base Camp. Then they will go to the Crocodile Outboard is for a week.
"Singapore also rates Marong is an interesting place. We have got quite a collection from this area. "Dr. David and Dr. Zakaria was so thrilled with the results of their sampling and can not wait to return to Base Camp to undertake the work of identification of the species they collect. After breakfast this morning they resume their work kerjaa before returning the next day. Kuala Marong really interesting Mas. Uncontaminated area immediately. River water is so clear. Can you see the fish swimming, swimming in the river bed. Very attractive forest-green heart. Udaara can feel the freshness that is not tainted at all.
Distance-distance voice Wak Mas Ahmad was chanting after dawn prayers. Mas sitting ditikar prayers, he followed only Wak Ahmad interpretation and talmid the Holy of Holies. Feeling syhadu menyelinapi in sanubarinya. Wak Ahmad chanting voice, though slowly made her feel very calm. Then the voice was gone, loneliness appears again. Mas continued chanting, too dear to leave feeling that the experience was wonderful. In a little while longer, Wak Ahmad will start preparing breakfast. That task Wak Ahmad when they were camped outside the Bus Camp. Upon return from a day of work, who do not terliur see grilled fish dish, sambal belacan him. Mas impressed, the bag pack Wak Ahmad, he has brought a small stone mortar so that he can prepare sambal belacan Dr favorites. David. Distance-distance sound forest dwellers have begun to wake up.
Mas ekpedisi hope this adventure will make his weight down a bit. Since the birth Mira, his weight had increased by 15 kilograms. But cooking Heah and Wak Ahmad was delicious but not least, difficult to resist. It seems that even a month berekpedisi not make them skinny, but healthy increases. Nia can feel the increasing weight, she complained alone. Outside the tent first heard surprisingly Pin Wak other players to get up at dawn prayers. Today more and more bright, early morning elephant expedition participants seem to others.
Mas Ahmad smiled Wak nagging, cold morning in the Endau-Rompin is biting the bones, he reached the University of the kesayanganya jacket. This jacket should be brought along each time he carries ekpedisi. Although he did not want to miss the opportunity to join this expedition, he was also feeling very nostalgic for her children at home. Mira remembers the tears flooded the new age of 6 months, had to leave for the job. Sazali the age of five series to capture hard-mama come overnight. Eventually, after the coax to the wages of his grandfather's ice cream shop with him to that night, then went to Mas. Luckily, her mother and father who came from the village to help her take care of her children during this ekpedisi run.
Create a self-Mas morning is a wonderful time, the mist rising from the surface of the river looked like steam from boiling water kettle. Obscured their view points. The situation in the forests are no longer silent, the birds-birds have come out looking for food, boisterous sounds of the forest. Nun in the hills amid the sound of male and female gibbons responded answered. To signal each other. Indicates the respective territorial area.
Mas are very happy with the peace of God's creation of forest, this area is not contaminated is a paradise for a scientist like him. Mixed-mixed feelings actually. Mas longing for her husband and children left at home, but when they are in the forest, he feel so very calm. Kurnian really appreciate the beauty of the forest god. Mas to feel the happiness, satisfaction for being there.
Mas walk towards the creek to enjoy the beauty of Marong area for the umpteenth time. He would like scenery, tranquility, beauty of this area in the eyes, ears to be brought back together later. The smell of the forest that rose to his nose was so stuck in his mind. Give rise to a feeling of nostalgia, kerinduaan to something that no longer exists. Had he been good at writing poetry, wants to incorporate the beauty of Diamond is a beautiful poem that can be shared with others. But he did not know how to do so. As a scientist, he only talks to write the facts and figures alone, Anka. Mas is only good at speaking the language of science is simple and direct, not good manners to language berbasa. A big loss because he was not able to share the beauty in his heart to anyone.
Mas sits amid a large stone, on the banks of the river to breathe fresh air, the nose and chest pains when he was breathing in the air-filled with oxygen and is not polluted. Mas hope is her husband and her children may be at his side, equally enjoy the beauty of this virgin forest morning. But what right resources, they can not be with him. Moreover Halim is not a nature lover like himself. They are a married couple who are not similar but complementary to one another. Halim is a computer genius and a brilliant businessman. Mas is a nature lover diligent and committed. How they can somehow adapt to their partner and perfect fits. Hard to be husband and wife is so understanding the kinds of work you ni Mas.
"Halim a good husband, not happy to be a sporting husband like that." Jun Mas friend, told him before he went the other day. Mas knew he was lucky to get a husband who is so understanding of his career, even if they do not share the same interests. Mas remembers hugging her close family he left behind. Mas threw his eyes far away, enjoying the vast forest.
Mas suddenly saw a body that was standing upright in the left corner. Slowly move the body, doing Tai Chi movements are soft, supple. Mas as fascinated pegerakan interesting look at the background is the background of river and forest green. Each pegerakan accompanied by whistling the birds. Like watching a combination of natural and human performance .. Natural and man can not be separated, kurinian gods. Only people who have become greedy and destroy all of nature's gift to hunting, illegal logging and the rapid development. Diamond can not escape his eyes that fascinated with Susana quiet calm, gentle pegerakkan, which touched his heart. Dance is the sound gemersik deruan latarkan with water flowing through rocks. Dirirngkan about the whistling of birds who are busy looking for food. From the top of the hill, the sound of "whoop whoop whoop ..," a male gibbon call like tempo drums. Mas was so impressed with the overall presentation of ankle motion and the accompanying symphony of the forest. He watched the performance without blinking his eyes.
After a moment, full of graceful dance that the dancers stopped and looked back to fled the scene. Morning training is finished. He was surprised to see Diamond was sitting behind her, hugging her to wear a jacket university. Diamond looked so calm and like mesmerized, looking at him.
`Mas!" Tegur Ting soft.
`Oh Ting apparently! 'Mas snapped. I thought one had.
Ting tersengeh while rubbing both hands. The morning was awakened by the sound of Wak Ahmad was raised for the interpretation of the dawn prayer. Despite the slower sound, but touch the hearts of Ting. There was a strange feeling menyelinapi to heart. Ting lie down while listening to only Wak Ahmad prayers. Then he heard Wak Ahmad reading holy texts and chanting after that, Ting wants to continue his sleep because the day is still early, but he could not shut his eyes again. Then he got up and out of the tent. Ting then sat meditating on the banks of the river to find the answer to the soul that is in upheaval. After some time, Ting began to practice daily in the morning. Exercise and do tai chi movements.
When finished exercising, Ting to return to the camp to help prepare breakfast Wak Ahmad. His face was ruddy, sweat shirts and flowing wet white t-block to block visible muscles. With a deft move bak athelet, Ting approached Mas, sitting on a rock.
"This is my practice every day. In one day I must find time to practice Tai Chi in order to calm the mind and nourish my body. "
"In our busy camping there this time too Ting Chi bertai want more."
"I must find time, if not the morning, the night can be as well. This is really good for your health. Mas should try it. Because I see Mas always very tired. "
Mas should feel offended by the statement, but this morning she kept hearing the words of Ting. It is true peers Ting himself, but the face and body shape sasanya portray her as far younger than the Diamond. Mas pulak a new 6-month delivery had not really capture the pieces of the body ... The body is still accommodate all the fat and fluid that he gathered during the pregnancy period of days. Mas reluctant to embrace her when her body thought that it was overweight.
"I also keep abreast of current lot are a lot of talk about Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and so forth, but I've not had time to pass up." Mas said slowly.
"Tai Chi, Chi Kung, this is just practice for corporate training. A lot of good that can be obtained by making the practice of this daily. To strike a balance between Ying and Yang. "Ting explained to attract Mas.
"I know, the Prophet Muhammad himself was said to seek knowledge to China because there are many sciences that are useful to us."
"If I can teach Mas interested in a few simple steps can be practiced Mas. Ting said another. Should you try, you will feel good and lest tired. Not too long, in 20 to 30 minutes a day. "
"Okay .. I'm really interested but .. it is time .. But if you want to teach Ting. Also good. Answer Mas, smiling gently. Today was really beautiful Diamond, Though he had longed for her husband and his family but he can feel everything's okay because her parents were with Halim to keep her children. Suddenly, he felt light and happy. To be in the woods belanantara the oldest in the world is something that Mas desire. What more to be among human groups consisting of scientists and environmental well-known member of the academic discussion is always running. Something that is so expensive to remove Mas. Mas really think he is actually in place. Mas feel he is the luckiest woman in the world, I do not know How he feels he has everything. Career she loves, and a complete family and husband is so understanding of his duties. Mas was very happy. He smiled to think of himself that was lucky.
Ting stopped briefly to see a smile Mas, stunned. Beautiful fresh rose like the morning dew tersiram forest. Both the fresh cheeks and soft smooth red, eyes wide with a clear light, nose and mouth is half open it looks beautiful, with rows of teeth lurking behind the wet red lips. Mas never realized that her smile was killed Ting peace of mind. Usually the air after practicing tai chi practitioners peace. Mas do not know for Ting levels achieved earlier in the peace of the just expired on the deck of a smile give him that.
"Oh .. Well, tomorrow morning we can start the last exercise," said Ting after the bedetak jantugnnya had become normal again, he then replied smiling Mas. For Ting smile Mas tu am very sweet, 28-year-old woman who was father of 3 wonderful and sweet person. Mas usually quite serious. Ting know Diamond has always longed for her children. Ting great respect Mas, in the exercise of his duties with the work of this challenging ekpedisi Mas never complained. Ting impressed in this anxious time Mas to maintain its identity as a Muslim woman. The lid on his head never remove, even tough the life of this camp is in jaganya shame. Therefore, Ting is concerned with the needs of these women. Although sometimes when gathered together a group of other ekpedisi .. The male-humor jokes out, Diamond still sporting a smile and will only listen. Ting sometimes embarrassed to hear the words of friends the other men who do not know without offending Mas as a woman. That's why she tried their best to reduce fatigue during this expedition Mas. Mas in anggapnya as his most familiar one.
But in the silence of the morning, the river flowing water clarity, gemersik deruannya, coupled with the singing of the birds, Mas a spontaneous smile that touches deep into his heart to intrude into the nerves of his nerves. Suddenly his heart pounding. Lifetime scenario this morning will capture forever. Her heart suddenly felt a sense that he can not describe in words the detail, he could only feel its beauty.
Hours in the fingers are at 7.30 am. Wince again at breakfast. Mas wake as he wiped his shirt-gesat state, the King suddenly surprised them.
"Smile you are on a candid camera!" Diamond looked towards the King with a smile, but the battery the wrong foot river rock and almost fell, Lucky Ting quickly fall by grabbing hold of lengannynya.
"Click" Ting Diamond is holding the shoulder, smiling face was shown on each. Raju camera recording the events that candidi. Mas quick-draw hands from the grip of Ting. His face was red. She knew she should be grateful to Ting to prevent him from falling, but he was embarrassed when his shoulders held by Ting. Furthermore the earlier incident of arrest by kandid by King. Mas feel fury. Mas pretend mengosokkan clothes by hand to remove the shame.
"Mas, no nothing?" Ask Ting, he knows his arm in a touch Diamond angry, he is not intending to do so. Action reflection really fast and he is acting without thinking first. This reckless action he had lost his smile charming mengabikatkan Mas. He regrets ... sweet smile is gone, replaced with red faces. Mas kind of angry.
"Breakfast is already done! Let's eat! ... Wake up and eat. "Suddenly the voice was heard calling all Wak Ahmad. Mas Ting and King soon left to go to breakfast. Dr. David and Dr. Zack is enjoying a meal of fried rice that morning. There are players who have yet to wake up. Machang that can not be in effect disappeared somewhere where since late last night suddenly appear while tersengeh. Machang really not much talking. His eyes focused on Mas. Mas aware Machang will be watching her first new job he will do another. Machang seem to like watching Mas, probably because he was only one woman among them.
Diamond looked Machang bertenggung sitting, while smoking a cigarette. Berkepul depending on the context of cigarette smoke-out of the mouth and nose. For Mas, Machang a young man full of mystery. Instant he appeared, in a minute he were lost, but not for long. At the time everyone was struggling, walking through the forest tracks or crossing creeks, running towards the choice is easy as having a boost of power or magical powers that allow him to run faster and faster in the forest. Mas never see Machan wet although they all had lencun with the sweat or rain. Due to the efficiency in the jungle, towards the choice of a craftsman who bring valuable items such as cameras, recorders and sampling equipment to another. .
Natural persons as Machang had first contact with people outside of the last 150 years, as economic goals. Orang Alsi Village Map has long left the nomadic way of life as practiced by their ancestors dato. Forest is now the home of their ancestors, however, they still practice hunting wild pigs, deer, and also collect forest produce such as fruits, roots and nuts. Now they earn banak with a driver in the forest.
Mas achieved in rice dishes extended by Wak Ahmad and find a seat at the Dr. David. He was very interested to hear the conversation between Dr. David and Dr. Zakaria. A lot of knowledge that can be heard only by bucket. But this time he can not catch a scientific point they even talk. Emotions are still disturbed by the incident earlier. Lost her appetite, but she pretended to eat. Tail eyes looking Ting. He knew the incident had not Accidental. Ting is innocent. Ting took away from the outstanding food and all eat together, and Ahmad, and Abu Mani. Mas hope he is not discouraged.
