Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Puzzle Search

" Well, Jo's flesh is gone." lamented Ahmad.

" It's okay, we'll find another food. The most important thing now is that we are full and can try to return to our camp" Johan said.

Did not feel their eating activities have been completed, the lizard meat was exhausted, and now there is a sense of fullness that accompanies them both. After the meal they plan to return to their friends. However, they have to find the right path because they were previously made dizzy to get lost without a single clue that could save them.

" Let's get ready Mad, there's no time to sit around here." Johan invited Ahmad to leave the place immediately.

" Well, let me put out the fire for a moment" Ahmad said.

Before they left the place, Ahmad turned off the fire they used to cook earlier so as not to fire later, and also so that the smoke does not cause air pollution.

" Well the fire is out, let's go." take Ahmad to Johan.

With their stomachs full, they actually felt an incredible laziness. Their feet seemed to want to hold them back immediately. However, Johan and Ahmad do not want to relax, because they actually want to go home soon.

" It feels like a long journey Jo." Ahmed complained.

" Are you getting tired ? " ask Johan to Ahmad.

" Yes I'm tired, can we rest for a while ? " said Ahmad asking for a short break.

Then they both sat among the trees. The place they stopped was quite shady, until the sunlight could only penetrate it a little.

" Ahmad, how many days are we here ? " ask Johan to Ahmad.

Ahmad wiped his sweat, he said,

" If not my miscalculation, about ten days Jo, including today" replied Ahmad.

" We've been in this forest long enough, these feelings are enough for us" Johan said with a serious face.

" You mean we should go back, and go home ? " ask Ahmad.

" Ayeah right. But the problem with all five of us right now is that we're lost" Johan replied.

Johan and Ahmad continued to talk, especially Johan who seemed to have begun to get discouraged. Ahmad who saw this moved his heart. He wanted to revive Johan's spirit, because he knew Johan was always optimistic.

" Johan.." call Ahmad.

" Why Mad ? " answered Johan.

" You're Johan, right ? " ask Ahmad.

Johan was astonished and asked what Ahmad wanted to talk about.

" I am Johan, Johan Sharif Hidayat" replied Johan.

" It's good that you still remember it, because as I know it, Johan is an optimistic, brave and never complains" Ahmad said.

Hearing this, Johan began to move his heart. He began to realize that they were in the forest it was a mutual decision.

" You're right Mad." Johan said, holding his head up.

" The five of us, not just me or the two of us. We are a team, here because of mutual agreement and decisions, and whatever happens we all face together" he added.

" Thank God you've remembered it again, now let's get up soon, I'm not tired anymore." Ahmad invites Johan to continue the journey.

Ahmad reached out his hand to offer to help Johan stand up. Then, they continue the journey with renewed motivation and enthusiasm. On a clear day, the sun was almost overhead. However, what happens is that they still have trouble finding their way home.

Meanwhile, their friends who were in the camp, are now looking for the whereabouts of Johan and Ahmad.

" I'm really surprised, actually where the hell did the two of them go ? " ask Selly who seems to be getting tired.

" Hold on Cindy, don't just conclude" said Iwan cut off Cindy's words.

" Especially the two of them are our friends, we should focus on looking for them and also the most important thing is to keep thinking positively" Iwan added.

" It's also true that you said Wan, I'm sorry yes, sometimes something comes out without me thinking before" said Cindy who regretted her words.

" It's okay, let's go ahead, before it gets any more noon." Selly asked.

The three of them continued to search and search, but the results were still nil. From East to West, then South to North they did not find them both, there was only fatigue and thirst.

" Haaah they still haven't met either." complained Selly while exhaling a long breath.

" I was also tired, since I was looking here and there never to find where Johan and Ahmad are." complained Cindy.

Iwan who could not bear to force his friends to continue looking for Johan and Ahmad finally relented, then he invited Selly and Cindy to take a break.

" Pity, they must have been exhausted." Iwan murmured in his heart.

" But if it stops, it will be longer and more already looking for the existence of Johan and Ahmad." thought Iwan who was worried.

" But pity them. Ah never mind, it's better to take care of the existing than to pursue the still unclear" said Iwan strengthen his choice.

" You must be tired, then we take a short break here." take Iwan to Selly and Cindy.

" It's okay to rest here" Cindy asked.

" It's okay, for a moment it will not affect, the most important thing is that we are all healthy and fine before looking for both of them" said Iwan wisely.

" Okay, Oiya Iwan, Cindy there's something I want to talk to you guys about" Selly said.

" What did you say Selly ? " ask Cindy who is less clear to hear the words of Selly.

Selly then approached Cindy, as well as Iwan. If you look around it looks like they will discuss the disappearance of Johan and Ahmad.

" What does this have to do with Johan and Ahmad ? " ask Iwan.

Selly nodded and intended to express her unek-unties.

" So, I think before they were lost in this place, didn't you already see the oddity that is seen from the behavior of Johan and Ahmad" said Selly.

" Such as when the time on the river bank was, I mean after finding them lying on top of that big rock ? " ask Cindy on Selly.

" That's what I mean, isn't that suspicious" Selly replied.

" If that's what you mean I don't know anything, then I'm cooking at the camp." said Iwan.

" Yeah I know Kok Wan, so this is what makes me confused, has to do with you also Wan." Selly said.

" You mean ? " ask Iwan to Selly.

" Remember Wan, when you said you were in the river having some strange, out-of-the-box incident. That's where my suspicions came from." replied Selly.

" Aaah yes I remember, it was a bad experience, it really struck me with a deep trauma" Iwan said.

" Now you also know Cindy, if we are immigrants there is an owner or the term host, and the river also has a waiter." asked Selly to Cindy.

" Right you say, that means something may have happened to Johan and Ahmad after the incident on the river bank ? " said Cindy guessed Selly's way of thinking.

" It's right." concluded Selly.
