Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Meaning of struggle

Johan , Iwan ,Ahmad ,Selly and Cindy have set a new belief that they can get out of the place, although slowly they start to adapt well. The adaptation they feel is not a guarantee that nature will be friendly as easily as the tree receives the arrival of birds that alight. The five of them went on their way back to find a way out, requiring a lot of wasted time and effort to get started.

" Everything, Hip-hip." Invite Johan to burn the spirit.

" Hooray, young spirit, yes." Shouted them simultaneously.

" We continue with our original goal of searching for the great river, it can be an incredible clue if we manage to find and follow the direction of the flow." Ahmad.

" Right what Ahmad said, water will flow from a high place to a low place, upstream to downstream so surely we can use it." Selly.

" But it seems that now we are walking almost unheard of the sound of water gurgling at all, then what ? " Task Cindy to her friends.

" Well yeah, I didn't even realize there was no river around here, were we going back to where it was ? " Take Selly back.

" It's not a wise choice I think, we've gone too far and there's a reason why we shouldn't take the path we've been on before." Reply Johan.

" What do you mean Jo ? " Tell his friends.

" I mean it's a taboo, an unwritten rule that's either mythical or mythical but most people who come here can't go back or just leave a name." Terang Johan's.

So Johan walked first in front of his friends, he felt a feeling that began to feel bad if only complaining and talking. So he chose to talk while moving. The direction in which they move is uncertain, because they really have no navigation except the sun which is now covered with clouds. So beautiful the forest is the soil alone muddy, overgrown with grass plants that are almost as tall as their knees.

" What time is it, how long do we walk." Ask Selly.

" It's only 10 in the morning Selly, we've only been walking for about 10 to 15 minutes, but you've started complaining." Reply Johan.

Their footsteps began to ache, but they could not find a single clue. Started to seep into each other's minds regretting why they left the cottage Grandpa Dul and Granny Ningsih. They are parents who are so kind to treat them, feed them, give them a sense of security, and a warm sense of kinship rather than staying in the forest without having any available groceries.

" Why do I remember the two of them yes, can this be called miss ? " Task Cindy.

" They're both Cindy, do you have a man of your dreams ? " Take Selly back.

" Abviously, it's not that Selly but they're Grandpa Dul and Nek Ningsih, they're good people aren't." Answer Cindy.

" It's true, but don't regret why we didn't just settle down while doing this stupid research, it's all done because we chose this path together." Reply Ahmad.

They talked while continuing to walk through the forest. Up and down the hill, walking to the right and left they have passed, until they do not realize they have arrived at something completely new they came. Other than the others, they feel like they have reached the top of the mountain when finished climbing , the sense of satisfaction is the pay that is worth because it is presented with a beautiful view.

" Look at all that is before us, it's a relief to arrive in a place as beautiful as this." Iwan.

" Yap is indeed beautiful this place, but it should be noted that the day is getting late 'we need to start thinking about our stomachs." Refute Selly.

" It is also true that Selly said, I also began to limp because the energy had been drained after the uphill trip earlier." Cindy Imbuh.

" We all agree captain." Answer them compact.

Then they continue the journey while looking for plants or fruits that they can eat just to prop up the stomach that began to be hungry. Right and left they were looking only to find the towering grass, still not dashed hope they found something to eat even though they almost bounced the word surrender.

" Heat once during the day, until this moment we have not found the source of water or food." Complaints Ahmad.

" Don't complain yet, don't give up because there is hope for us, it's still day and we can still walk upright." The word Iwan awakens the spirit of his friends who begin to fade.

After hearing the motivation expressed by Iwan, they all became excited again until finally all their struggles seemed to bear fruit that was unexpected before.

" Did you hear the sound of water ? " Ask Johan.

" Yes Jo, I heard it but it seems like a big river current is just a good distance away from here." Reply Ahmad.

" If the voice is really a river, then we should be grateful God gave us a way out of the problems we face, if we do not give up it will definitely get the key." Cindy said.

" Not many more words, the sooner the closer, the better, come." Take Iwan.

They sped up step , heard they were treading the right path to approach the sound source of the water flow. The lush tropical rainforest they wander through with courage and determination embedded in their hearts, hunger is now a lash for them to survive.

" Johan, can you open a lane in that direction, I think it'll be easier through this direction than it will be to turn around that way, which will take a lot of time." Pinta Selly's.

" It's possible, but I need help to be more effective." Reply Johan.

" Alright, I and Iwan are ready to help you anytime Jo, we work together we can." Sahut Ahmad offered Johan a favor.

Soon Ahmad, Johan, and Iwan carried out their duties to open new paths for them to pass through. Long enough to open a new path , because of the lush forest that is overgrown with large rooted plants and thorny shrubs.

Without them knowing, just below the pile of roots that are not far from the soles of their feet, there is a python or phyton that is large. The snake is not too visible, camouflaged skin color is the same as the color of the soil and dry leaves are scattered. Unintentionally, almost the head of the snake was stepped on by Johan who was too focused forward without paying attention to his footsteps.

" Johan look out for Johan, look under the soles of your feet there's a big python." Shouting Cindy.

" Aaargh, it's almost a good thing you warned Cindy, thank God I didn't step on her." Said Johan who fell down in a sitting position.

" Are you okay Johan ? " Tanya Ahmad.

" Thank God, I'm fine Mad, there's nothing to worry about." Reply Johan.
