Remain reluctant to go home. That what happens to the adherents of the freedom in Lau Kewar Lake, located in Karo Highland, North Sumatra. In fact, they should think about their future. Like have at home, and (once again), they remain reluctant to go home.
This is what happens in the Kawar Lake natural area. If you can compare, the area is a small land reserved for nature lovers and lovers. It seems no less awe, and even reluctant to go home after filling time and enjoy the charm there.
Perhaps, this is experienced by some people who attended filled lands in the area of green grassy edge of Lake Lau Kawar has the highest depth of 27 meters was reached.
Ricky, "Do not bother if you run out logistics (food). When it comes to food, easily obtained here," he said." Just how do we deal with the local population, at least the owner of the garden in the field.
Ricky's been a long time "inhabit" in there. Do not even remember the exact day when he got there. "If you count was almost 2 months," he said.
For Ricky, life and survival in the region of Lau Kawar Lake is a form of freedom and human socialization vehicle or nature lovers and lovers of nature - these two terms have different meanings for him.
"If I can categorize, I fall into the category of nature lovers are not lovers of nature. Nature lovers just enjoy nature. Lovers of natures, not only enjoy but also play a role in its sustainability," he explained.
The second term is a sudden makes critical Ricky. The reason there is often no obvious person to use the excuse to use the term nature-lovers with the lure of greening. How they submit a proposal to the local government with the motive greening, but the results encountered in the field very far from what was expected.
"They are bandits we call the proposal," he said aloud. "For what is stated in the proposal often deviated from what is programmed in the proposal. For example, in the greening proposals say that they will plant a tree some 15 thousand sticks. Is, the result is different," he added.
Ricky addition, there are also Erwin (28) and Anes (24). Erwin himself was almost 1.5 months there. He had arrived since the beginning of January and until now still reluctant to go home. "It better here than at home (Medan)," they said.
The days passed imperceptibly. At lunch, when the sun came stinging, hot, sometimes they go to the lake looking for fish or mussel for lunch later that night. There are also those who went to the top, joined with farmers, helped, and the home premises with a variety of vegetables: squash, cabbage, tomatoes and pepper.
In the afternoon, some of them play volleyball. In evening came and the sky grew dark, slowly listened strains of the song with guitar accompaniment. While cooking food on anything they can that day, each began to open the story. They sing, joking and laughing until nightfall. They seem happy.
