Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Stuck in a narrow cave 6

The five of them had managed to pass through the obstacles and dangers that almost put lives at risk. Now they continue their journey to find a way out of the cave, even in low lighting conditions.

" Beware, though this cave is rising, but behold beside us there is a rushing river flowing. If we're not careful we'll fall and not know what's going to happen." Ahmad warned his friends.

The more they enter, the more stuffy the air around them. It was clearly felt by them plus the darkness that enveloped the place. One of them, a fear of the dark Cindy, began to feel asphyxiation. Shortness of breath that he experienced is not without reason, because he was since childhood if in dark conditions feel tight. The condition certainly makes his friends worry about the physical condition of Cindy who could drop at any time.

" Huuuh.huuuh.huuh.." Cindy's breath was clear.

" You why Cindy ? " Task Selly at her best friend.

" Huh..Selly, help me, help me." Answer Cindy who was still panting.

Johan, Iwan, and Ahmad turned towards Cindy.

" Cindy..Cindy..is your asthma coming back again ? " Tanya Ahmad.

" It's obvious Mad, Cindy's asthma is relapsing, let's see it in her bag." Johan told Ahmad.

Selly helps Cindy to sit up, to help her take regular breaths.

" Cindy sat down first, it'd be dangerous if you passed out and fell into the river, so calm yourself down." Selly.

Cindy sat down and put down her bag, and Ahmad checked her bag for asthma medication. Long enough for Ahmad to look for the intended remedy because in the dark really inhibits them.

" Okay, where's the cure. It's hard to find stuff in the dark." Complaints Ahmad.

" Have you met Mad yet ? " Task Iwan.

" Sorry Wan, haven't met yet. But can you help me find him ? " Pinta Ahmad to Iwan.

" Of course, let me help you find." Reply Iwan.

When Ahmad and Iwan were busy looking for the asthma drug Cindy, Cindy actually worsened her condition. He looks very weak, even in a lying state he still has difficulty breathing.

" Huuuh.ssstt.ffyuuh." Cindy's breathing sounds obvious how difficult it is to do it.

" Hold Cindy, we'll try to get you out of here soon." Said Johan.

" Friends...Friends...If I just get here, make sure you all stay together." Yeah." Cindy lirih said.

" Cindy...Cindy don't say that again, we'll help you and you'll be safe." Firmly Selly.

Then the atmosphere became tense, all quiet and panicked. They have to get Cindy to a place where she's more oxygenated. Moments later, Ahmad and Iwan discover Cindy's asthma drug.

" At last I met." Iwan said, then handed it to Selly.

Selly immediately gave oxygen aid, they managed to save Cindy even though it had to be until the last second.

" Thank God your condition is improving now Cindy, we're glad you're okay." Selly said with a smile on her face.

Cindy was happy because her friends were so concerned about her.

" Thank you guys, you guys are a very nice person, care about me." Cindy said, still looking weak.

" Together Cindy, we need to help each other. And most importantly we're always together." Answer them compact.

Cindy's condition has improved, she can immediately continue the journey with her friends despite having to train. Now , they are getting closer to the gap that they think is a way out of the cave.

" Everything is safe ? " Ask Johan.

" Let's continue the journey, I'm afraid this cave will soon collapse." Bring Johan.

Step by step they pass, caution and focus are needed because the road they pass is quite steep, which is only the size of two people next to each other.

" Come flashlight, it's getting darker here." Ahmad says.

The toughest test seemed to start welcoming them, because now the cave hall looks more narrow. As they continued walking, they talked about the cave passage.

" Friends, it looks like this cave hall is getting narrower." Ahmad.

" It seems so Mad, I'm also feeling increasingly stuffy here." Reply to Johan who is at the very back.

" After careful attention, this cave hallway is like the letter J, the more it rises the narrower it is." Iwan Imbuh.

" Well, is that okay for Cindy ? " Task Selly worried.

Everything went silent for a moment, they started to worry about Cindy as well.

" I hope it's okay for Cindy or all of us. May we be safe." Said Johan.

Johan's words calmed the hearts of his friends. Not felt, the clock has shown at 03:10 in the morning. The air gets less and less when they get deeper, but the temperature is felt to puncture the bone. Some of them began to complain because they could not stand the temperature in the place, such as Cindy who is known to suffer from hereditary asthma, the same thing was felt by Selly and Iwan. However, if they stop they cannot produce body heat. The best way to get the heat out is to just move.

" It's cold this place." Grumpy Cindy.

" Be patient this is a test, but I'm sure after this we'll be able to get out safely, I'm sure of that." Johan Refute.

" Can we just stop for a second ? " Task Selly.

" It can be but if we stop it will even feel cooler, because body heat does not come out. Do you want to shiver on the spot ? " Tanya Ahmad.

" Yeah, there's a point you said Mad. But, guys, look at it now." Selly said as he pointed his flashlight around.

" This place is getting smaller." Ahmad was surprised.

" It's true my guess, this place is shaped like the letter J the higher it will be the narrower the passage we will go through." Reply Johan.

" Then what about our fate, I'm afraid we can't get out of this place for one reason or another." Selly said worriedly.

Everyone was silent, no one knew what they were going to face in the future.

" Now we just need to keep going, no matter how small the bridge we will pass, no matter how painful the pebbles that hit the legs, just do it." Iwan.

Of the five of them, only Iwan is still optimistic even though he actually does not know exactly what steps to do.

" It's true you said Wan, we shouldn't give up here. We must not succumb to circumstances, obstacles must be overcome." Johan said excitedly.

" For that we have to be solid, compact five. If it's less than one, it'll reduce our chances of getting out." Ahmad added.

Now they start to find the motivation that was extinguished, slowly but surely they continue to move. Even now, the road they were going through was starting to be difficult.

" Be careful because the road is uphill and we have to duck to fit." Ahmad warned his friends.

" Good Mad, we understand." Answer Cindy.

Seriate...
