Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

They came back at the right time

The story continues when the lone Johan is separated from his friends. He had experienced things beyond common sense, as before he was dragged into the bush after experiencing interference by subtle creatures. Until the morning he continued to be disturbed, and now he was hungry, thirsty, tired and tired.

" Aaargh.this is harder than I imagined, here hardly sounds the gurgling sound of water." he lamented.

Inevitably Johan had to find a plant that contained a lot of water, I don't know what he would find out whether what he would eat, at this time his focus was only on filling his empty stomach. His footsteps are getting heavier now, but his determination has not been extinguished at all. On that cloudy day, the restrained Johan grew more agitated, because he had not found any water, his throat was already dry. Meanwhile, the fog seemed to have descended and thickened which made the visibility even shorter. Johan who had begun to decline his focus suddenly slipped and did not realize that beside him there was a steep and steep slope.

" Aaaargh.toloong.toloong.toloong, guys help me!" jerrit Johan's.

Johan was just a little bit down, his legs were already floating and just hanging on to his hands and a root. Johan's condition was very worrisome, if he had fallen, he might have entered a deep abyss or the worst possibility was a severe injury and died in that place.

Meanwhile, Iwan and Ahmad had arrived at their initial place of separation. They're both looking for Johan.

" John..Johan.where you are, we have returned Johan." cried Iwan.

" It's just for Wan, it seems like something's happened to her. How much better, we rush to find him before something really happens to him." Ahmad asked Iwan.

They followed the other road, which was also chosen by Selly and Cindy. Not far from the place, Ahmad and Iwan found Johan's belongings and bivouacs. They grew worried after discovering that Johan was not there, and saw traces of him being dragged into the thickets.

" Ahmad, it seems that the bivouac and these items belong to Johan. But where is he?" asked Iwan to Ahmad while continuing to look around.

" I don't know either, but my premonition that something was dragged was Johan's trail, if he was chasing something or something had taken him to a thick bush" Ahmad said.

" In that case, let's hurry, let's follow this trail." Iwan asked.

They both decided to follow the trail of the drag, to enter the forest filled with thickets. They both have a strong belief and premonition if the marks lead to Johan.

" We should speed up Wan's steps," asked Ahmad.

" I'm also sure this leads to Johan, but why are you so sure?" ask Iwan.

" A moment ago in the bush I found a compass and some personal belongings of Johan, such as eucalyptus oil and key chains of his. Of course it is surprising that there are others who bring their personal belongings if not Johan himself" said Ahmad.

Ahmad's analysis makes sense given that they have known each other for a long time, and the strong feeling of a friend must be true.

" Tolooong.please...Iwan, Ahmad, Selly, Cindy please help meu."

Suddenly from a distance not too far away, there was the sound of people asking for help. But strangely the sound, coming from a steep slope.

" Ahmad, did you hear that too? there was someone asking for help." Iwan asked as he continued running to the source of the voice.

" May my guess be wrong, I thought it was Johan" replied Ahmad.

" What? we have to hurry."

" John..Johan..why did this happen." Ahmad's reaction surprised his best friend in danger.

Iwan and Ahmad work together to help Johan. They pulled out a rope and threw it at Johan.

" Johan, catch this rope, then tie it to your body, hurry" Iwan exclaimed.

Johan wrapped the rope, and with the cooperation of Iwan and Ahmad in fact was not strong enough to lift Johan back up, plus the factor of wet and slippery soil increasingly difficult.

While their other friends, Selly and Cindy, also secretly arrived at the place where Johan built the bivouac, because they were closer than Iwan and Ahmad.

" Selly, it seems like I heard a voice from that direction" Cindy said.

" Yes you're right, I heard it too, but it's not a bush and it seems there is a slope, what would happen." Selly chimps.

" We'd better check there while looking for Johan, he's not here, there's only his belongings. With slow but sure steps, they had also reached where the three of them were.

" Iwan, Ahmad, what are they doing?" selly muttered in his mind.

" They're both..." Selly and Cindy approach them both.

" What are you two doing?" selly asked, holding her knee.

" Oh my God, Johan, so you two are helping Johan, I'm helping!." Cindy's reaction.

Of the four of them, only Selly did not help, because his physical condition was still recovering after falling and his knee hit by a stone. Long enough the three of them pulled Johan out, to the point that Johan almost chanted the word "surrender." But seeing the earnestness of his friends to help make Johan touched his heart.

" I'm not strong, my hand hurts, I just let go of my grip" Johan said.

" Hush..Don't act recklessly, when you get off your grip you could be dead. We'll help you." said Selly, who can only watch her friends.

The fog that had begun to fall signaled that it would soon rain, it would be even more difficult if they could not immediately help Johan.

Shortly after, the specks of rain began to fall, wetting everything. Of course it makes them all panic, especially Johan who was very scared plus his hand grip that began to weaken, and if it had rained it must be the roots will become slippery, the ground becomes soft.

" Come on.we pull on," said Ahmad cheered.

" Cindy you pull from the middle, let me in front and Ahmad is stronger behind" Iwan said.

" Okay" he answered.

In a matter of one , two , three they pulled out with all their might with the rest of the strength present. The rain fell rapidly, and inevitably they had to continue even in difficult conditions. Indeed, if for the sake of friends, anything will be done, sacrifice, sincerity, solidarity as it has become an absolute thing that must come first. The heavy rain in the morning was more terrible because it was accompanied by lightning, and strong winds that were able to shake even large trees. Finally, after exhausting efforts, they were able to work together to help their best friend, Johan out of danger that threatened him, he was very lucky to have a friend like them. They finally came back at the right time.
