Man Seeker Cuan

The Part 46

The next day the still unsatisfied ABK went to spend their money in the market. They buy cigarettes, drinks, and other snacks. Not to forget they also fill the pulse to wear when the heart is bored.

During that leisurely time, the ABKs were drinking on the ship until some of them were drunk. But there are also busy playing games online and sleeping.

The activity continued to occur every night as long as their ship was leaning for three days.

Then after three days, the captain ordered all his men to inspect every part of the ship including the engine part before returning again to the middle of the sea.

The ABK is now back to test its fate in the ocean.

**********

When night fell, all ABK again threw his fishing line into the water and waited for the miracle to come. It was quite clear, but suddenly the sky turned black and the wind blew quite hard. Their ship began to oscillate and the entire ABK began to panic and was busy pulling the fishing line.

Meanwhile, the captain continued to exert all his ability to control the steering fin against the storm carrying his ship to a nearby island.

As the ship continued to accelerate, the pounding waves increasingly fiercely shook their ship. Some of the small-brained ABK later shrieked and began to cry as seawater entered their ships.

While others are busy working so that water does not enter more and more.

Later heavy rains also fell, exacerbating the situation. They are cold but cannot take shelter.

Some ABKs save their catch to storage so as not to be thrown back into the sea because of the strong waves.

Until finally, after fighting for two more hours, their ship could survive the storm and reach the nearby uninhabited island.

There they all breathed a sigh of relief while shedding tears.

"We finally survived. I'm afraid we're gonna drown." Tono.

But no one replied with words other than crying.

Then the captain came out and said, "For a while we stay on this island until the storm subsides. No one is sad and sad anymore. ABK must be strong and tough."

Then the captain returned to his room and contacted the other captains. He asked if their ship was hit by a storm or not.

But it turned out that the sudden storm only appeared around them.

Then the captain checked the weather forecast whether there was still a storm or not.

That night, after changing their clothes that were soaked, the ABK immediately threw themselves in their beds because they were very tired.

*********

In the morning, the captain woke up the entire ABK and told them to prepare because their ship would return to the middle of the sea.

Although still stricken with fear, but the ABK was unable to evade the command of the captain.

Their ship returned to the middle of the sea but this time at a different point.

That day the ABKs were still overwhelmed with anxiety while throwing fishing rods while occasionally staring at the sky.

Indra who stood beside Tono while stalling his fishing line said, "Hopefully there is no storm this time."

"Yes. I'm still scared. We almost drowned."

"It looks like the sky is clear. Well... Hopefully there won't be another storm."

As they spoke," the captain exclaimed from the boat on all ABKs, "Come, work! Work! Work! The spirit!"

**********

The day changes and so does the moon. Every ABK persistently works tirelessly to collect every squid that will be converted into rupiah coffers.

After five months of their stay in the Moluccas, the captain moved their ship to the Merauke Sea in the second month. They will stay there until the fourth month and then return to the capital.

Because according to estimates, in those months the best time to catch squid.

They sailed for days until they finally arrived at the sea of Merauke and returned to the net.

But day after day passed, the catch of the ABK was never satisfactory. It feels like the squid is reluctant to get stuck in its hook. Even if there is a snag, it is only 10 or 15 squid in each fishing line that ranges from 150 to 180 meters in length. There are even those who get nothing at all after staying up late last night.

Seeing that there had never been a good result, the captain decided to return to the capital even though the fourth month had not ended. Or they're still in the first week of the fourth month.

So after all ABK tidied up all fishing gear, the captain immediately left the region and returned to sailing.

But when they go home, extreme weather often occurs and storms often occur.

So in order to avoid bad things from happening, the captain always marginalizes his ship on nearby islands whenever there is a storm.

The trip, which usually only takes fourteen days, now takes twenty days due to frequent bad weather.
