Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Eleventh day: Frogs are the contents of our stomach

The misfortune continues to go hand in hand with the luck they experienced while in the tropical rain forest. Little by little, the soles of their feet can conquer various obstacles. Just like the comment in the morning, their freedom after a difficult situation, where they were almost hit by rocks from a cave that collapsed, as a result of a landslide. The five of them were resting, laying down on the thick green grass.

" It's exhausting, thank goodness we're still being given the breath of enjoying this new day." Iwan.

" Morning is like the root of hope, from the breath, the heartbeat, and the pulse we can still feel." Selly.

" Tumben your words are poetic once Sell, usually impressed as is." Johan.

" Yes dong, my heart is happy." Selly.

The five of them were still lying on the carpet of grass, until the sun began to rise with his smile welcoming the day. That morning the weather was clear, the sky turned blue without cloud cover. They plan to immediately continue their steps, while filling the stomach that has been empty.

" Are we going to keep falling here ? " Task Cindy.

" Oiya, we should hurry back. You guys want to go home soon, right ? " Task Johan to his friends.

" Of course we all want to go home soon." Iwan answered with certainty.

" But what about our research, did we just forget about it ? " Tanya Cindy questioned their research.

" It doesn't seem to matter anymore Cindy, we're no longer on duty or just playing games, but we're dealing with life." Firm Johan.

Then each of them cleaned up, and prepared to go back into action. Moments later, they begin their first steps on a new day by holding on to only one goal: to return home safely. However, the journey home was certainly not an easy thing to do, after they had already deep into the forest.

" A minute, there's one thing that's been bugging my mind all along, which way should we go ? " Task Cindy to her friends.

Instantly they were all silent, silent, quiet without a word. They just look at each other, until the steps stop each other's steps.

" There's no harm in your question Cindy. However, in my personal view, we all do not know now where we are, let alone find a way out." Iwan.

" It will be very difficult to determine our current position, even more so we have lost the compass a few days ago." Johan responded.

" So do you have any other way or crazy idea that could smooth out our plan ? " Task Selly.

" I've read the encyclopedia, if ancient humans settled around the river for the reason of easy search for food sources." Reply Ahmad.

His friends were still confused by Ahmad's answer. They were astonished by Ahmad who answered nothing like the question asked.

" What does this have to do with how to get out of this place Ruslan Rushadi." Iwan Response.

" Woy's my father's name, don't call him or he can show up." Ahmad joked.

" The real point is that ancient humans lived around rivers, meaning there were settlements, or rivers could be a guide for us to find nearby settlements." Ahmad added.

" That's right you said, but we'd better fill the stomach first yes, so it can be powerful." Cindy's pinta looks pale.

" Geez Cindy, you look so pale." Selly lirih.

They all agree with Iwan's invitation. Come here, they're looking. However, all they encountered were wild grasses and thorny vines. For a moment they lamented the fate of self, but circumstances must be fought if they want to continue to survive. In the midst of despair, one of them, Iwan, heard the sound of frogs.

" The sound of frogs is true that of frogs, surely it can be if we make food." Shouted Iwan.

Hearing the screams of Iwan who wanted to find frogs as their breakfast today, made his friends suddenly nauseous. Frogs that some people laugh, although edible in fact still make them amused, especially with their rough skin.

" Wan wait for Wan, can we find other foods such as plants only or if not fruit or geckos also no problem." Cindy Pinta.

" Of the monitor lizard, not the frog. It feels ridiculous." Selly.

" But there's nothing more we can meet, inevitably we have to eat, all my friends." Reply Iwan.

" Of course, let's catch the frogs if it's enough for all of us." Bring Johan.

" But you're the only ones who dare to catch him, me and Cindy aren't coming along." Selly.

Johan , Ahmad , and Iwan agree to the proposal from Selly. They immediately rushed to look for a damp place, the source of the frogs' sounds coming from. Iwan who has no doubt or fear of animals that are not commonly liked by many people, sure he immediately get his hunt.

" Aha, I got you a frog, get ready to be our breakfast." Iwan said happily.

Then Iwan kept the hunted in the bag and then went back to looking again. Meanwhile, the same thing was also experienced by Ahmad, just a few minutes after they went looking for frogs, he had gotten up to two frogs, which he kept in his pocket. While Johan had just got a frog, but when he was hunting a frog that ran away when he held it, he was surprised by a dozen frogs that jumped scattered.

" Aaargh there's a lot of frogs here, Iwan..Ahmad come here a lot of frogs." Shouted Johan.

Iwan and Ahmad rushed to Ahmad and astonished dozens of frogs in one place and immediately scattered. Iwan and Ahmad immediately caught the frogs, but Johan was amused to see a large number of frogs. So he decided to retreat and stay away from the place.

" Iwan, Ahmad help you handle it yes, I am am amused to see that many frogs." Johan Pinta.

" Beres Jo, thank you for making it easy to find our quarry." Ahmad and Iwan answered.

In just an instant, they were already able to fill the pouch they had brought before. They soon regroup with Selly and Cindy. Johan, Ahmad, and Iwan returned with wide smiles, and had imagined how full they would be if all the frogs had gone into the stomach.

" Those three of you go back very quickly, let's sit down and rest first." Welcome Cindy.

" Have you found anything better than a frog with rough skin ? " Task Selly.

The three of them laughed together and looked at each other.

" Of course we got what we were looking for, and you two should know that we got the better of a frog, where we got twenty frogs." Reply Ahmad.

" two.ten.hah are you sure that much, with your hand you caught a frog that I am am amused by even just looking at it." Selly.

Seriate..
