They finally reached the top of the hiking trail, only to realize they'd left all their snacks and water in the car.
A strong mountain breeze blew, carrying the scent of pine and a thin mist that enveloped the summit. Three friends Raka, Dinda, and Joni stood breathlessly among the boulders, gazing out at the expansive valley below. The view was extraordinary, almost like a reward for all the sweat and long walks they'd had since morning.
But as soon as the awe subsided, hunger and thirst began to set in. Dinda reached into her backpack, only to find the lunch box empty. Raka checked his bag and exchanged glances with Joni—their faces simultaneously contorted into panic.
"Oh my... all our supplies are in the trunk of the car," Raka said, slapping his forehead.
"So all we brought were cameras and raincoats?" Dinda half laughed, half annoyed.
They sat on a large rock, blaming each other while laughing in resignation. Hungry, yes, and thirsty too. But amidst their carelessness, they discovered the funniest memory of the trip.
"Let's immortalize our hungry faces," Joni joked, raising the camera.
Click. Another silly moment was captured, a reminder that travel isn't always about perfect supplies, but about unforgettable stories.
