The Lost In The Nightmare

The Surprising

...NIGHTMARE 9'S...

...The Surprising Incident's...

"DIRECTION!"

Various kinds of cries that mentioned his name began to echo throughout the forest in unison in the rain that had not shown a sign that it wanted to subside a little.

Rizal– who was next to him – deftly caught Jihan's body losing balance before collapsing to touch the wet ground.

His big and sturdy hands try to make the position of Jihan's body as comfortable as possible in the arms of his arms, Jihan's body he rests on his chest that field. In standing condition. Jihan's right hand rests behind her neck.

"Damn? You why?" ask Kurnia. A worried tone spread in every word he uttered.

"Damn?" Sandi suddenly panicked and half dead.

One of Rizal's large hands supporting Jihan's body moved toward the patient's forehead - a subscription - to check on Jihan's condition. "Hot." Rizal's hand moved again to hold Jihan's hand. "Cold."

Rizal's words confused Joints who also felt worried about Jihan's state. "Which is right, hot or cold? The words of a doctor are hard to understand,"

Rizal's head turned towards Joints and the others. "Diamond fever. He should rest and should not be cold as a result of the rain, because rainwater contains strong chemicals and can stimulate his scalp." Obviously Rizal is long.

Sandi scrunched her forehead. "Did you bring medicine here, Zal?"

"Not much. Just bring what might be necessary, the rest I left in the villa's room." Replied Rizal without turning his eyes away from Jihan who –arguably –al almost dying.

Rizal's right hand examined Jihan's pulse around her wrist area and moved upwards around her neck.

Jihan's body temperature is now equally cold with the body temperature of Rizal – which has been cold for a long time, so do not be surprised if the words are also cold –a result of the cold air in the mountains and coupled with rain that increasingly adds to the cold body temperature of Jihan.

"Le-better now you bring Jihan back into the tent so as not to get cold." Fitri's advice to Rizal.

"Hn. I know, I'll give him first aid for a while" Rizal cradled Jihan in his bridal style. ''Then we go first."

Before Rizal disappeared from their sight, Jendi shouted a sentence. "You guys be careful, yeah!"

Shouts Joints from a distance were answered with a head back and a small smile for a while, then Rizal again looked straight ahead.

Sandi shudder. "You see that? Rizal's smiling?" his eyes looked at the other friends.

"Huh? Aye, yes. What's wrong with her? Is it because of the rain? Or because of seeing Jihan pass out?" The joint widened his eyes for a moment. A curious feeling about Rizal's smile enveloped him.

The number of unreasonable questions asked by the two male friends, Kurnia spoke up. "Just seeing Rizal's smile at a glance has been excited by the various questions you guys throw, if I have often seen him like that." Kurnia was a little bragging.

"Huh? Frequently?" knock them out simultaneously.

"Yes that's it. Rizal smiles at me and Jihan more often,"

Can be seen now they are both –Sandi and Joints – middle-jawdrop so unreliable with what Kurnia said.

Fitri who had just seen and heard the three friends who were talking, finally opened his mouth to speak. "Ah, everyone... are we going to continue our search?"

"Hm. Also true. Come on, let's move on!" Password's mind is back focused in the goal he is now.

The joint knitted one of his eyebrows. "Wouldn't it be better to just go back to the tent for a break?" his eyes circulated his gaze around the forest around him. "The mountain range has begun to thicken and cover the path we pass, it can be dangerous if we get lost and separated because of this thick dew."

Sandi thought back to what Joints just said. "We'll go back to the sign to rest and ask the villa guards for help, but after we're looking for Novi in a moment, huh?"

"Yes, Sandi. Of course," Fitri agreed to Sandi's words vigorously and without hesitation as usual.

A smile was engraved on his lips which were also cold and set his feet back to look for Novi, while the others also followed Sandi from behind his back.

Basic sakti, thought Kurnia in the heart while shaking her head and keep her legs straight ahead.

Shouts to call Novi back.

.......

...+++~Lost~++...

.......

Rizal continued walking with a load of. well, arguably heavy and also light in both his big and seemingly strong hands. A few minutes after walking apart from the band of Sandi looking for Novi, he finally set foot in their camp area.

Can be seen by the naked eye –four tents that are still standing strong even though they have been hit by the sea breeze that blows hard when it rains until this moment, and the bonfire they made looks like it was extinguished by leaving a streak of black ash right under the fire burning earlier. Either extinguished due to rain, or.well, other natural, physical, or chemical factors.

Regardless of the cold and dark atmosphere surrounding his tent, Rizal immediately walked with quick steps into the tent where he and Jihan were staying before going to look for Novi.

It does not take a long time to open the tent zipper –because it is not too complicated also the process, the process, Rizal put and laid Jihan into the tent first before he finally entered and closed the tent back tightly.

He took a sitting position on the inside of the tent, opposite the tent door that was right in front of him. After feeling comfortable, his hands went back to work to lift Jihan up and sit her on her legs. So, Jihan's body position is now –his back is leaning on Rizal's chest which is right behind his back. Not facing, yes!

Rizal's hand again moved to pull the backpack that was not far to his right, opened his zipper, and took the items he needed: Towels, jackets, and some medicine. He placed everything he needed on his right side.

Her onyx iris looked at Jihan's face and held the veins that were around her neck back. "Ji, wake up. Open your eyes, I know you're still not fully asleep."

Jihan's mouth moved –open, like she wanted to say something but could not express.

"Sshhhh. I said open your eyes even a little, not talk,"

Rizal waited patiently as Jihan tried to open her eyes even a little.

As Jihan's eyelids open slightly –at least her emerald iris looks –Rizal puts her right hand under Jihan's chin, raising her head up a little so that their onyx and emerald irises meet. It can be seen that the iris of Jihan's emerald eyes dimmed and her eyes were blank.

"You can close your eyes again." Slowly, Rizal lowered Jihan's head back so that her neck muscles did not ache, and was able to rest for a while.

His hand moved to pick up the towel that was next to him. Gently, he wiped Jihan's cold face from the rain first.

Rizal slightly straightened Jihan's body and refuted her body with her right leg which she set up while her left leg remained in a position of – useful as a refutation behind her back –lalu wipe hair Jihan as a whole from the top of her head. Hey, Rizal? You not only dried Jihan's hair, but also ruffled her hair indirectly.

Drying the long part of Jihan's hair is a challenge for one of our Young Masters. It is clearly a challenge in comparison her hair with Jihan is much different in length.

Some time carrying out the program 'dry the hair of Jihan' where the hair is now half dry made. Applause for Rizal's hard work. His hand moved to take the jacket on his right side after putting the towel he had been wearing on his other right side.

"Ji, I will put on you a jacket so that your body does not hit the cold air too much for a while" whispered Rizal in Jihan's ear.

After getting a sign of approval from Jihan in the form of a small nod, Rizal swiftly and slowly insert Jihan's arms one by one and muttered the word 'sorry' once from his mouth. Finally, Rizal put a hooded jacket on Jihan's head, then rested his body on the plane as comfortable as possible.

His burly arms encircled Jihan's body, hugging her tightly –stirring –trying to warm Jihan's body which began to look shivering due to the cold piercing her skin, as well as her fragile body due to her illness.

His face was between his long hair and Jihan's right neck. "You're okay, and nothing's gonna happen." Arms, - to be more precise, Rizal's embrace is getting tight. As if I didn't want to let go. Again.

Rizal saw a small smile on his thin lips –which now began to turn pale because of the cold –through the tail of his eyes. "Are you feeling a little warm?"

Jihan nodded slightly, barely noticeable, but could be felt by Rizal. "Te-rima... to –"

Before Jihan finished her sentence, Rizal cut it off. "Shhhhh... You don't need to thank me, I did it because it was part of my duty to be a doctor" Rizal kept silent for a while, and continued his words. "And so did your parents who handed over your body problems to me. Totally."

Rizal returned Jihan's smile gently, but she might not be able to be seen by Jihan due to her condition being so weak right now that she could not open her eyelids.

"Sleep, soon –when Sandi and the others return, we will ask for help from the servants in our villa."

The order from Rizal was only answered with a small and brief moan from the voice of Jihan who tried to let out to respond to Rizal's smallest command, which was certain in addition to a nod and a small smile.

It didn't take long enough to wait for Jihan to fall asleep. Rizal makes sure that Jihan has fallen asleep with a comfortable position and does not interfere at all, then he puts his head on top of the coconut Jihan. So, Jihan's head position is now lower than Rizal's, right on her chest.

The special smell of rainwater that is still attached to Jihan's hair goes into Rizal's respiratory tract, wait. In addition to the smell of rain water, Rizal also smells the smell of Jihan's hair even though it is still more dominant the smell of rainwater that he breathes from Jihan's hair.

Slowly but surely, Rizal's eyelids began to close –as if trying to hide his dark onyx-like irises. A few minutes later, Rizal fell asleep because fatigue had invaded his body and the muscles he used to carry Jihan to the camp. Very gentle.

The burden of their bodies, they unite with each other, so that they can maintain their sleeping position without any refusals or wall rests or something behind Rizal's back or around them.

The story of both of them will begin...

.......

...+++~Lost~++...

.......

The cold air carried by the rain swept slowly over the surface of the skin of the two of them who were soundly asleep. The rain was sounding extremely heavy outside their tent. Footsteps and conversations of some people were heard dimly behind the sound of rain that was getting clearer and closer.

"I don't want to know! We should get home soon!"

"Hey, try to calm yourself down, maybe you just saw it wrong,"

"I actually saw it with my own eyes! There's no way my eyes can lie, and my eyes don't have any abnormalities!"

"So your emotions, now we're in the woods."

"Now it's still early in the morning, how about we go back to the Villa only when the morning arrives? Maybe the others are exhausted, too,"

"I don't want to know! Anyway we should go home all-in!"

The sound of tent zipper opened –roughly and suddenly –pun fills a quiet tent room.

"Zal, Jihan, wake up! We're going home right now!" Kurnia's distinctive shrill sound left Rizal's eyelids open slightly, trying to adjust the light of Kurnia's flashlight that was directly highlighted to his face.

A large hand patted one of Kurnia's shoulders from behind. "Let Jihan rest for a moment, she is sick," Joints tries to calm Kurnia who is now becoming unbecoming.

"Stop advising me, Sen!" Kurnia forced the hand of Joints hanging on her left shoulder. "If you don't want to go home" Kurnia looked at all the members who were in front and behind her back. "Then I'll go home!"

Kurnia quickly tried to push her feet from where she was. Before Kurnia went any further, a hand swiftly grabbed Kurnia's wrist, trying to hold her back.

"OK, OK, Kur. We will go home, now with you," said Sandi with the emphasis of the word 'now' in her sentence. "But we don't go down the hill alone. Ask for help with the tools I brought in my backpack before we depart from the Villa."

"With what kind of tools?" Both of Kurnia's eyebrows were raised high.

Password turns the head towards the Joints next to it. "Sen, please get that thing in my backpack, please,"

Joints nodded once and immediately ran small towards his tent to do what Sandi told him.

Sandi turned her head back into the eyes of Kurnia sapphire. "And you, I ask very much to return to acting as usual," there was a slight pause in his conversation. "And sit still!" sandi orders with an octave that is getting higher because it cannot contain his anger.

Rizal who had heard their conversation without knowing what had happened earlier, started to feel a slight movement from Jihan who was in his arms.

There was a small groan coming from Jihan, one of her tiny hands moving to rub her still tired eyes. "Zal, what's going on?" jihan asked in a weak voice, his head looked up at Rizal who was already looking at him first.

"I don't know what the previous events were like, either,"

Satisfied at Rizal's mouth, Jihan tries to move her body to find out the reason for 'why they are arguing' to her friend outside their tent who is drifting into their mind.

"Where are you going?" There was a tone of dislike in Rizal's voice. His embrace was so tight that it made Jihan's efforts to uphold her body become futile.

Jihan can feel Rizal's chest field behind her back. "I just want to find out what happened while we were in the tent" Jihan's voice shook.

"Find out? You're still sick, you better rest your body..." Rizal tidied up the jacket he wore on Jihan's body and further tightened his embrace. "...lagian later we will know what the exact events are like,"

"But–"

"Rest." Sela Rizal suddenly and full of decisiveness and emphasis in her words.

Jihan silent a thousand languages. Not dare to fight the words of the eagle who was serious with his words.

Rizal let out a long sigh and looked at Jihan who was in silence. "I don't mean to yell at you rudely, but I just want you to rest your body because you're sick, you understand?"

Jihan slowly began to relax her body back towards the body of Rizal who was behind her and her head nodded small because it was still limp.

A small, gentle smile was engraved on Rizal's cold face. "Now rest, close your eyes" Rizal stroked Jihan's head covered with the hood of his jacket.

The silence that occurred to every person outside Rizal and Jihan's tent suddenly broke due to the appearance of the voice of someone with his footsteps heading towards them.

"San, this is the tool!" The joint gave the tool to the hand of Sandi who had been waiting for his presence since then.

"Thank you."

"Together." Joints smile with their flagship smile.

"What tool is that?" asked Fitri with a confused look at the object held by Sandi.

"This is a tool commonly used by mountaineers if they need the help of someone who is far away or close to him when he gets into trouble." Sandi explained to Fitri.

"Then how do you use it?" ask Fitri back.

"Well, in this way,"

The Hand of the Password holding the 'helper' was lifted into the free air adorned with the swift rain falling from the sky. Not long after that came an explosive sound accompanied by a red light, shot up three times which was also accompanied by a bright red light.

"Wow," Joints said in a small voice in admiration of what he saw earlier. "Great, even you've still had time to make a show in the midst of chaos,"

Looking at Sandi who had been looking at him furiously, he could only let out his flagship smile. "Handling,"

"When you wait for help to arrive, you can pack your luggage now, because help will come as soon as possible" Sandi ordered loudly and straightforwardly. His eyes glanced towards the tent where Rizal and Jihan were. "You hear that, Rizal, Jihan?"

"Eh."

"When will help come?" kurnia said in a tone that was calmer than before. His eyes looked at Sandi's eyes fixedly. Hopeful.

Sandi smiled in satisfaction as her clasping of Kurnia yielded deep results for her. "So soon.Let's see."
