The Part 199 Blue Hole

The sixth key, was in the middle of a vast ocean. People usually call it the Blue Hole. A place that will look beautiful when viewed from above, but if you dive into the depths of the ocean, the, there will be many terrible mysteries and make some people prefer to stay away or find another place rather than there. Deep and large underwater hole located 70 kilometers from the coast of one of the beaches are quite crowded visitors. In the middle of the Lighthouse Reef atoll. Atoll is the name for the coral island that surrounds a lagoon partially or completely.

This Blue Hole has a diameter of more than 300 meters and a depth of up to 125 meters. So large, this natural phenonema can be seen clearly from space because of the clear waters in this place. The depth of this Blue Hole makes it the second deepest sinkhole [suddenly formed] in the world, after the Dragon Hole in the South China Sea. In addition to being giant, this structure is located in the middle of the second largest coral reef in the world and becomes a world heritage site. Natural phenomena such as the Blue Hole are actually deep and large pits of Ice Age remnants. The giant hole is formed when the sea level is still low. Millions of years later, as sea levels rose due to melting ice, the hole was submerged in water and formed a deep limestone cave on the sea floor. The shape of the circle, with the middle that looks dark and terrible, becomes a special attraction for divers.

They've boarded a pretty big charter boat. Arriving at the rock plains that circle the deep hole. The current situation is quiet. Usually there are several divers and travelers who come to this place with their groups. But for today, there are only them. It's a little bit profitable for them of course. Because their wiggle room will be more free to look for the sixth key.

Their bare feet began to feel the sharpness of the rock below. Black glasses are horrified in the nose and also do not forget the hat to protect from the hot sun.

Nayla keeps holding Arya's hand. The two walked slowly while watching their steps. Occasionally Nayla smiled as she looked at the young man beside her. Highlight the eyes of both of them are full of love, although sometimes Arya's attitude seems cold and indifferent, but Arya is very fond of the girl. From the past until now.

On the other hand, Ellea looked riled up. He occasionally yawned, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Ellea had insomnia again, and it had been a few nights. Abi is increasingly worried every day, especially he often finds his lover more silent and daydreaming. Ever since she learned that she was a Nephilim, Ellea's character began to change. Become more quiet, and include irrit talk. He no longer acts spoiled towards her. Though Abi quite long for his whining, and the childish attitude Ellea who he often showed when he was upset, or wanted something. But now, Ellea was colder than ever. And again the explanation yesterday, making Abi more confused.

Abhimanyu's finger segment began to slip into Ellea's fingers. The girl jumped in shock, turning to the young man beside her with a faint smile. Cool and peaceful when you see a smile on her lips. A flash of the past fills Abhimanyu's memory, the first time they meet at the cafe. That day was the day Abi had only set foot in the city for a few days, leaving behind his world and his life in the village of Amethys. Ellea was the first girl to really attract her attention. And everything just keeps flowing as time goes on.

"You wink, not Ell. When did we first meet at the cafe?"

Ellea looked at the sky while repeating the memory, then nodded with a frown. "Why is that?" ellea asked as she continued to stare at the young man walking beside her.

"That was the first time I fell in love with you" Abhimanyu said as he touched the tip of Ellea's nose briefly. Of course the girl frowned with a thin smile." Seriously?" ellea asked in disbelief.

"Yes, you don't believe it!" added Abi pinched both cheeks of Ellea, anxious.

"It's weird. Your tumbens are this dramatic, unlike the usual Biyu" Elak Ellea. While staring at her Biyu intensely.

"It's not like that, it's just a wish. And, it's funny, Ell, if it turns out we're together now. You didn't think?"

"...."

"Even a lot of things that we have experienced together. From facing Kalla, the gangsters, werewolves, hm, a lot." They were still walking the path on the neatly arranged rock below them. In fact, they were in the middle of a vast ocean.

"Huum. There's a lot we've been through. Even very much, far from normal human beings. Our problem isn't about the third person, or I'm angry because you forgot our watch appointment. But our problem is about living and dying someone, even a lot of people."

The phrase Ellea makes Abi's tongue. He realized that what Ellea said was true. They don't even live a normal human life. They rarely fight because of trivial problems, or about jealousy even right attitude of one of them is not a trigger for the problem. They should be grateful for that. They are not as entangled in toxic relationships as young people of their age. But, after all, a problem in a relationship is like a spice in romance. Like a dish without salt will be tasteless. So is a relationship between a man and a woman. All that origin is not excessive, will be good for all parties.

"Ell ...." Abhimanyu stopped, the two stood face to face. Ellea again gave a strange look to the young man in front of her. This made his friend look at the two male and female partners. Abi stared at the two eyeballs of Ellea deep inside. He clasped the girl's hands and kissed Ellea's fingers slowly. "Ell, you want to marry me?" abhimanyu asked and suddenly Ellea glared in disbelief.

"...."

"I know we've talked about this before. And you've also agreed to it first, but our plan is finally delayed because of many things. But right now, I really want to marry you. Eum, maybe not here, but after here. We're married, how?"

Ellea's eyes sparkled, even now glazed. This is not a romantic proposal or the first time they discussed marriage or not the first invitation of Abi. But this is a very good moment, and Ellea needs to. He did not answer Abhimanyu's question, but immediately embraced Abhimanyu's body tightly.

"Wow! Yeaah!" jerit Gio enthusiastic. After all, she is a witness to the journey of Abhimanyu and Ellea's love. Gio was happy too. Of course Arya and Nayla are also happy about it. Nayla even hugged Arya's waist tightly. "Honey, he looks like you, yeah. Cold but romantic" he chirped as he looked at the new couple giving happy news in front of them. Arya turned to Nayla and smiled while shaking her head.

"I still feel guilty to Abhimanyu," Arya said with a look of flat eyes staring at their son.

"About?"

"We're the ones who left to leave him. I'm sure it must be heavy when we go first. We left our children at the age of just entering adulthood. He is not even fully grown. There are still many things I haven't taught you before. But we're leaving first."

Nayla tightens her arms. "Arya, you know that this is fate, right? And you forgot anyway? If you have a good friend. Even they were willing to give up all their lives and futures just to accompany Abhimanyu." Nayla and Arya now turn to Gio who then congratulates the young couple. Gio's face looked sincere.

"You seen Gio? Although he was rude, he was a ceplos, but he was the one who had been taking care of our Abi. And the result we can see the same, if our children become a good, tough, and strong young man. And of course Adi's sacrifice also means the same as Gio's. Until he breathed his last, Adi was still trying to protect Abhimanyu."

"...."

"Somehow should we say thank you to them. Even thank you is not enough. Or all the treasures we have also can not make up for all the sacrifices of the two of them. Abi, is a strong, tough, kind and sincere child. She was born from my womb, you're her father, and they both helped us take care of her."

"You're right. They're the best friends we've got."

Gio turned to Arya and Nayla, then waved his hand for the immortal couple to come closer and join him. Join to celebrate the euphoria of Abi and Nayla's happiness, in the midst of the bad conditions they are experiencing. Hugs and happy tears make them forget briefly the problems that are in sight.

Abi and Ellea are steady, will hold a simple wedding after their work in the blue hole was completed. For Abi, he felt that there was no longer any reason to buy out their marriage. But for Ellea, he felt that he no longer had much time to enjoy the honey of his happy marriage with Abhimanyu. His feelings continue to be uncomfortable. He continues to be overshadowed by bad things that might happen later.

______________

They're already wearing diver's clothes. The heroes stood to the edge, and stared flatly at the dark circles below them. The calmness of the sea water actually implies something deep and mysterious there. "Ready?" tanya Gio looked at Wira. The hero nodded and put on his diving equipment.

They began to dive into the hole. Dark, and silent. There are some small fish fish that are near the coral reefs around them. Inch by inch they checked. They are all excellent swimmers and divers. And this is their first diving activity that they have long since abandoned before. Everyone here is very enthusiastic.

Until finally Gio found a hole, which resembles a cave in the dark hole. He gave a signal to all his friends. And that's their purpose. Get into the hole, it's getting darker. The flashlight in their head was on. They continued to go inside, tracing the cave. Their time is only up to 50 minutes.

The deeper they go into the cave, making them a little anxious, because the time that continues to run is very worrying. Their limited oxygen is one of the main things they fear. They continued to go inside, sometimes they stopped because there were some pictures on the wall that really caught their attention. The picture convinced them that what they were looking for was indeed in this place.

30 Minutes in the water. The hero stopped them and signaled that they should return to the surface. Their oxygen is no longer strong to dive deeper. This debate is not so strange, but it is quite difficult. Because some choose to continue the journey, some others actually agree to return to the top. Gio, Abi and Arya choose to continue their journey, but Wira and the women ask to return to the surface. Since they didn't have enough time, but they hadn't had time to get a deal, there was a shadow crossing over them. Because the entire cave is indeed surrounded by coral rocks that are not so close together, there are several holes that are indeed above and beside them. Shadows flashed above them continuously pacing back and forth and making them curious. Until finally Abi peeked and checked through the narrow hole above them. Abi then returned and signaled that the one above them was a shark. Finally they inevitably had to continue to enter the cave.

They slowly left the cave passageway while checking around, especially the top. And the shark was still up there as if following them.

A loud vibration felt shaking around. They stop while feeling the vibration that continues to be felt. Until they finally realized that all the shocks had come from the shark that had been following them.  All panicked, and increasingly accelerated swimming. Until finally they reached a bright spot at the end of the hallway. Whatever it is, they seem resigned. Their time is getting narrower and with the sharks that have been eyeing them, make their movement faster.

The bright light continued to follow, until they finally found the end of the cave passage. And in this place, they could breathe as much air as they could. Apparently there was another cave at the end of the hallway. And, they have more opportunities here. The chance of survival, just how could they return to the surface? while their oxygen is no longer enough to dive.
