A Cold Frozen Hearts

Eps. 40 Deep in the Ground

Nayla was silent when she saw a door open in front of her. How not the room has a secret door.

“There really is a door,” Moesa said.

Kylin— pet Nayla comes in first like she smells something.

Nayla, setting her lights to not-so-bright mode. When he had just stepped in front of him it looked completely an underground tunnel.

The tunnel was quite wide, and high. It can be estimated that the height is about three meters more, and the width is almost five meters.

The road, it's so dark and creepy. Nayla, check the road they're on, the footprints are still there. He was increasingly convinced, if the road was used by Adrian to escape from the Raysa team.

The fishy smell from the ground was very clear. Moreover, they were inside within two meters of the ground surface. Nayla activated her road gauge. He wanted to know how long the tunnel they were going to go through.

Raysa led the way, then Nayla, followed by Moesa and the last was Kurnia. Nayla observed the ceiling of the tunnel.

Kurnia checked her watch, time showed at 8 p.m. They don't feel like they've been walking for two hours.

“When the end of this place anyway,” grumbled Nayla because they had walked a few kilometers, but had not yet found the exit.

“We rest first, now it's 8pm. We should eat, and disappear tired then just continue again. This tunnel, it's very long. I don't know how many hours we will arrive,” said Kunia.

Nayla pulls out the laptop inside her bag, while Raysa sees the food inside the bag under her.

Kurnia searched for wood, hoping to find it to make fire so they could warm the body.

“Hey, instead of this gold,” said Moesa looking towards his back.

There is a golden light that is stuck on the wall of the tunnel. Nayla also watched.

“What is this unused gold mine anymore?” nayla asked as she looked towards Raysa and Kurnia.

When Nayla dimmed her lamp, it was very clear to see gold-colored sparkles. They were in the golden starry sky. Since then, they have not found anything like that.

“Are we going to be rich, for finding this gold mine?” moese asked jokingly.

“We will not be rich, only with gold like this,” said Raysa.

The sound of goods being scattered. Kylin unpacked the item in the bag that Raysa was carrying, as if he was looking for something. A small can was seen, he pulled the can out of the bag.

Kkkrr.... Krprp...

Kylin's voice was angry. Raysa was looking for trouble with the little furry animal.

Nayla saw an instant meat can on the ground.

“He's hungry like him,” Nayla said as she opened the can cover.

Kurnia was sitting next to Moesa. Sometimes he shares food with the girl. Nayla saw that, only smiling as her sister was watching a girl.

“Since when was sister close to the girl?” nayla asked Raysa as she approached the man who was resting and closed her eyes.

“Entah, I don't even know. She didn't tell me,” Raysa said in a nonchalant tone.

Buk up!

“Are you really his best friend?” nayla asked in a loud tone while hitting Raysa on the head, making the man wake up while looking towards Nayla.

Grep's!

Raysa pulled Nayla into his arms.

Nayla was just speechless, she also felt very tired due to the long journey.

Kylin, getting into Nayla's arms puts them to sleep together.

Moesa, sleeping while resting her head on Kurnia's shoulder.

When everyone was asleep, Nayla woke up and pulled out some stuff in her bag. At that time, the time showed midnight.

“Why wake up?” raysa asked as she pulled Nayla into her arms.

Nayla did not think, the man who was with her was not reluctant to hug her, while her brother was with her. It was as if the man did not mind the presence of his best friend.

Curiosity about the events of two years ago is not only that limited. Especially about the goods that have been stored, making him almost lose his life two years ago.

“I was curious about the item, actually what happened? And where the goods were, when you were unconscious in the hospital we looked for them but did not find them,” asked Raysa suddenly.

“That stuff hasn't gone anywhere since the beginning. Still in the same place,” said Nayla. “The man who nearly shot me that night, who gave it to me. He joined, because his family became hostage material. At that time, there were two chips he gave me. One empty chip, which I gave Adrian, the other one was on you,” Nayla said.

“There's me?” ask Raysa.

“You're up?” suddenly Kurnia's voice sounded making the two people startled.

“It looks like the journey is still far away, the more we walk I can feel the cold and the less oxygen,” Kurnia said as she woke up the girl who was beside her.

They had rested for 5 hours, for the four of them it felt enough to go back on their way.

Throughout the journey, no one spoke or started. An hour, two hours, then continued for five hours they walked. However, it had not yet found the exit of the place.

Their drinking supplies were already running out, let alone their food supplies. There are only two bags left.

The bob-haired girl named Moesa looked very tired, making Kurnia hold her.

Their bodies are tired, some times they have to stop resting, they have to skimp on food because their supplies are thinning. About 100km they passed.

“You all right?” ask the girl.

“It's okay, my body is just tired. We have walked so far, but have not yet found the end of the tunnel we four passed,” Moesa said.

“I'm tired, I just want to give up. But, we are underground,” said Nayla. “I should have banned you from coming,” Nayla said again to Moesa.

Kylin suddenly moved and ran in one direction. Like the animal felt something.

Nayla's footsteps stopped. His eyes saw that there were four branches in front of him while Kylin disappeared from his sight, either passing through which branch of the tunnel.

Raysa, Kurnia and Moesa followed behind.

“How is it, I did not find Kylin,” said Nayla complaining to Raysa.

“Come, let's just go inside,” Raysa said as he entered the branch of the hallway carelessly.

There was doubt to breastfeed that branch of the tunnel, whatever was heading inside. Makes my hair goosebumps instantly. They were underground, not even people knew of their existence.

They had not returned for 12 hours, making the members of Team Raysa worried about the whereabouts of Raysa and Kurnia. Not just two, but four.

Do, infiltration in the woods. They even go to the place where Raysa often goes. However, they did not also find the whereabouts of the four people they were looking for.

While in the tunnel to these four people are down the hallway. Full of sharp rocks.
