Oceanic Heart

Epilogues

Putra Gilang added firewood to the campfire in front of them so that finally the air on the beach of Serena Island was felt again comfortable and warm. Samuu who just saw the campfire and felt the warmth of the air seemed to look timidly but full of interest.

“So how after that, Kept, how did you escape from the crush of the stone that was piercing you and more importantly how did you breathe without the BigMouth breathing apparatus.??” ask Marco

“I was already desperate and could only stand still waiting for death. After Melodie managed to threaten to immediately go from the tunnel that was being hit by the great earthquake… My eyes began to twitch and my chest began to feel tight.A moment before I lost consciousness, suddenly came Samuu who unexpectedly brought me a BigMouth tool! I was very surprised and of course put it on my mouth.. It was then that I sensed the coming of a violent wave stream from behind! So soon I embraced and hugged the Heart of the Ocean so as not to follow the current and that's when apparently the stones in the mouth of the niche fell and covered the way out… I was very lucky the stones that fell apparently only in the mouth of a niche and not to cover the entire tunnel... Otherwise Samuu and I would have died squeezed rocks down there.”.

“Wait a minute Kept, what I don't understand is how can Samuu bring that BigMouth tool to you? Hasn't your tool been damaged by being hit by a harpoon arrow?” Ask Maikel Stefen this time

Bob Barry did not speak yet, the girl next to him already raised his voice

“Ah... I think I can guess what happened at that time, but suddenly this boy made a revolt from my hand and went back to swimming inside… I think this sharp eye must have accidentally seen the existence of Bob's BigMouth tool that used to fall when the three of us were thrown from the niche with the mother of the Heart of the Ocean… This smart boy then revolted and took the tool and swam inside to give it to you.. It's not wrong not my guess Bob.?” said Melodie who was sitting next to the captain

Bob Barry smiled and nodded his head.

“True you said it was Mel, my BigMouth that fell down first was indeed seen by Samuu on the floor of the mouth of a rather dark niche. The boy revolted from your hands and then took and handed the tool to me. Without the arrival of this child, I would have died suffocating from running out of air in the tunnel passage.”.

Melodie immediately hugged the child tightly while kissing him repeatedly until the child laughed in a tweet because he was amused.

“Then how after Kept? How can you free yourself from the crush of the rock that hit you? Then how did you survive this past year on the seabed there?” marco asked impatiently

“One-one if you want to ask donk Marco.. Captain where can answer at once all your questions it..” reprimand Putra Gilang.

“It's okay Put, I will explain it one by one. So after the niche door is covered by rocks, the vibrations in the cave then stop. I then began to dig the floor of the tunnel under me using my comet dagger and finally after a long struggle I was finally able to escape from the crush of the stone.”.

“Then after resting for some time, I with Samuu re-entered the room where the Pyramid that previously stood upright. One by one I entered the many coral caves in the giant cave room and I was really lucky! I found some caves that jutted up and were not submerged by the sea water! The cave room is quite dry and warm and has a good air flow that allows me to stay and rest in it. I also then get a source of fresh water that radiates out of one of the caves that are not submerged in sea water so that I can finally survive until now.”.

“Then all this time you survived by eating what Bob?’ melodie asked attentively.

“In that place there are so many algae and seaweed! Samuu and I ate it every day. Also with the help of some tools left by the creatures of the Mere nation, I was then able to catch some small fish and also octopus that apparently lived a lot in that place.”.

“After I recovered from my wounds, I then tried to dig out the rocks that had struck the mouth of the alcove and part of the tunnel… The rock that fell on the mouth of the niche turned out to have a content of ferrites or iron that is quite a lot so it is very difficult to move especially to be destroyed! I finally resigned and at that time decided to stop trying.”.

“Day after day until month after month I passed in the partially buried cave room by just hanging life on sea algae and small fish… Until one when I heard the repeated knocking that resounded from the direction of the mouth of the niche! I then happily went to the end of the tunnel and replied to their knock!”

“At first I thought it was you, but I was surprised when those who replied to my tap with Morse code turned out to be Kak Mahmood and others who came from Somalia!”

“Ah brother Mahmood, Kak Dawoud and also Abdoolah.. We are really indebted to them.” sighed Putra Gilang who was replied with a head nod by Bob Barry.

“You're right Put, the three of them for months just armed with oxygen cylinders, crowbars and machetes as well as rope mines alternately scrape the rocks that cover the mouth of the niche and the tunnel path alternately alternated tirelessly! Until finally two days ago, Samuu and I were finally free, and they took them to Serena Island to rest.

“So you've been free and on this island since yesterday Bob? Why just show up now...?” asked Melodie with pouting lips.

“I'm sorry Mel, Brother Mahmood who did forbid me to come out because he saw so many ships gathered in front of the water… But it turns out it was the ship of our own friends.” closed Bob Barry while then seen laughing loosely.

“Ah it... About Jefri Kalangit... About what will Kak Mahmood and others do well? They brought him together to Somalia.” Marco Ferdinand said as he frowned.

“For sure we will no longer see him in the near future.If then brother Mahmood and our brothers in Eyl then let go, I am sure he will not disturb or try to get close to us again…” said the Captain with a smile.

“Actually there are still two things that are a mystery to me. Until now I am still confused to think about it..” said Marco suddenly.

“The first thing about Titanium Bags that we lifted from the bottom of the Serena Alcove, how could the Interpol members not be able to find it in the workspace and residence of Jefri Kalangit? Then about the Mystery about the disappearance of the Caucasian named Mario it.. Didn't after fighting with the Captain on the bridge the giant Aquarium, he had never seen again with Jefri Kalangit is not.?”

After being seen thinking for a moment Bob Barry began to raise his voice trying to answer Marco Ferdinand's question

“True what you said about those two things Marco.. If I personally speculated that the titanium bag had previously been stored in a secret place known only to Jefri Kalangit, so when Interpol searched the place they could not find the bag. Or it could be during the battle, Mario Kaontole took the opportunity to embezzle the suitcase without the knowledge of the Boss even though I was quite suspicious about it… I think the ex-Russian soldier's bule man is a good man.It's just working on the wrong man..” Close Bob Barry.

Everyone in the place seemed silent for a moment, then a while later came the sound of Melodie breaking the silence.

“About your three Somali foster brothers. I honestly find it a little strange, and then quickly saying goodbye? Go straight away while carrying Jefri Kalangit.”.

“Ha.ha.ha... If you don't have to think about it, that's how they're going to face the name goodbye! We also used to be confused when they suddenly left us when in Somalia first.” said Putra Gilang while laughing.

“What a great gift we can be brothers with them. Moreover, now they have repented and are on the straight path.” said Maikel Stefen this time.

“Then what about the dagger that Mahmood's brother gave Kept? Why don't we see it again?” ask Marco now.

“The battered was already eroded by the iron coral when I used to dig the rock from the inside of the tunnel. With the help of the dagger and the power of Mahmood three finally I can be free from the niche Serena even though it took months.”.

“Luckily the dagger was eroded.. Because if not, surely the handle had been used since I had used it to knock the head of your stone that tried to commit suicide in the tunnel a year ago…” Melodie murmur with elongated pouting lips

“Ha.ha.ha... Forgive me Mel! That's the only way I can think of for you to go out of that niche.”.

“Reason! Anyway I'm still upset!” said Melodie with her face bent in a frown.

Samuu who was in the arms of the girl looked at the face of the girl who seemed to bend slightly. After that, the mermaid turned to look at Bob Barry. The captain was seen repeatedly winking at him. Seeing this Samuu then pulled Melodie's arm and when this girl looked towards the mermaid boy, this boy seemed to be staring at her with big eyes opening while making a few tweets and shaking his head repeatedly!

Really funny and adorable!

“Ah Samuuu... Don't defend her! He's a bad captain! He's the cherry!” melodie said while tickling the boy who immediately laughed in the arms of the virgin

Bob Barry and his colleagues of course immediately laughed off seeing the funny behavior of Melodie and the mermaid boy.

“Then Kept, what are our next plans?” asked Putra Gilang after being satisfied with laughter.

Bob Barry with a smile then looked at his colleagues one by one

“Tomorrow we will sail back. We will jointly explore every place that Melodie and I have ever seen on the engraving of a sea map on the walls of the Pyramid of Serena's niche… Hopefully on our voyage this time, we can rediscover the Ocean Heart family and reintroduce to the world the existence of this long lost ancient nation... So, are you ready guys?”.

“Aye-aye Captain!” shouted the Son, Maikel and Marco in unison full of excitement!

Bob Barry then stared at Melodie who was leaning beside his body.

The captain no longer needed to ask about the girl's willingness to sail with him, because the light of the girl's sparkling eyes and the soft fingers of the two hidden behind the body of the Heart of the Ocean have answered everything!
