Zein picked it up and started putting webbing straps on his body. After completion, he installed other tools, such as harness, carabiner, ascender, descender, and bring other equipment, After feeling enough equipment, he then held the karmantel rope that had been tied up in a petition by residents.
"Who wants to come with me?" Ask Zein when he's ready.
The citizens just glanced at each other, not a single person dared to. They have no experience climbing.
"Sorry Mr. Zein, we're not brave, too dangerous." Reject one of the citizens.
"Alright, then I'll just go down."
Zein began to descend, even though he only wore shorts, he did not care about the twigs scraping his legs. All he thought about right now was Alika's safety.
"Alika endure! wait for me, you'll be fine." Monologue Zein tried to dispel his concerns.
When he got below, right by the river, Zein opened the rope on his waist and groin, immediately tracing the side of the river but did not find Alika.
"Alika's." Shouted Zein, "Alika." His screams came back many times.
There is no word from Alika. Just the sound of a strange beast was heard, there was no one else there besides Zein.
"Oh my God...! please help me find Alika. Don't separate us so soon. I'm not ready to lose it." Monologue Zein with a face full of supplications and raised his head staring up.
Zein retraced the river, his steps suddenly stopping when he saw the sandal stuck between the twig and the stone. Without thinking long he jumped and reached it, lucky because the river flow there is not too heavy. After believing that the sandal belonged to Alika, because Alika was wearing it while inside Hutama's house, Zein dived inside, maybe Alika was there. For a few minutes, he still could not find it. His head began to appear on the surface again looking at which part he again had to look for Alika.
Zein did not give up following the flow of the river while swimming, if he got the stone, he would pause to regulate his breathing.
"Alika!" His shouting.
His face began to turn red, without realizing it his tears began to drip. Her chest feels tight. Just this time crying over a woman, Alika is a girl he just met but can attract attention and thoughts as fast as lightning. He rubbed his wet face with tears mixed with river water. Looking left and right but not finding anything meaningful.
Zein again dived into the water which was about ten meters deep. Keep swimming following the flow of water, holding your breath, and moving your arms and legs.
Not long after, he went back to the surface.
"Mr Zein." Shouted Ramon.
Hearing Ramon's voice, he pulled back. Give them permission so they know where they are. It turned out that he was already quite far from his descending point.
"I'm here Ramon." Reply Zein shouted.
Soon, Ramon appears with Lucas, Thomas, and four of his men. While the other two men pursue the woman who has pushed Alika.
Without Zein asking, they all undressed and undressed. Using only shorts, they jumped into the river to reach Zein.
"We split up following the river. I'm sure Alika fell here. Remember to prioritize safety together. We need to find Alika before it gets dark, you understand?" Firm Zein.
"understand." Simultaneously everything then drowned his head disappearing into the water.
It had been almost three hours of their search but had not also found Alika. Zein was desperate. There's no way she'd go back home without bringing Alika home. The others are starting to get tired.
"Mr Zein, we'd better take a little break." Ramon.
Ramon fell silent, not expecting that Zein would lose like this. Just this time he worried about someone other than his family, Zein did not even care about his own health.
"But Zein..."
"Have it, I'm fine, don't worry about my situation."
Zein disappears from the surface of the water.
"Let's get Ramon to help Zein again, let the others rest, they'll catch up with us." Sela Lucas's.
"Alright, I'm just worried Lucas, Zein just recovered, his leg could get back in pain if he kept diving." Ramon.
"Already, let it be, this time we won't be able to hold it. You know for yourself how stubborn Zein is. Especially what Alika lost. I'm sure he was very worried. Can be seen from the expressionless look on his face. I feel sorry for him." Lucas.
Zein goes back to diving, this time he doesn't want to surface before finding Alika. How can he face Hendrik if something happens, he has promised Hendrik to take good care of Alika.
Ten minutes later, his men search again and Ramon and Lucas jump into the water.
After an hour Zein did not also appear on the surface making the others even more worried.
Ramon and Lucas yell out to Zein for a short ride, but Zein doesn't show up. They glanced at each other then searched for Zein's whereabouts but did not find him.
Zein saw something that made him come closer to be sure. His eyes bully in disbelief, he can find Alika down there. His feet were stuck in the roots and branches of trees by the river in a state that was not moving. It was likely that Alika could not escape until she was exhausted and her breathing began to weaken. Her long hair was waving with a hint of water bubbles coming out from her nose.
Zein immediately got rid of him, trying harder and faster so that Alika could still be saved. He has no time to go to the surface to seek help. Lifting the twig and giving it a slight gap, he was finally able to pull Alika in his arms. A faint smile glimmered at the tip of his lips, how happy he was right now. Her panic and worry had not disappeared because Alika was unconscious.
Zein tried to pull him to the surface of the water with the rest of his energy.he was really tired, his legs also began to cramp, but he still ignored the pain. The main goal is that Alika must survive. He did not want to lose it when his heart began to accept his presence.
"Alika darling...! can you hear me?" Zein asked, the word 'honey' just popped out of her lips as they were already on the surface.
Alika did not answer and neither did she open her eyes.
Zein hugged Alika towards the riverbank, then laid her on a flat spot in a supine position. After that raised a bit of Alika's head upwards then opened her jaw.
Zein then checked his breathing, bringing the ears closer to the mouth and nose to feel a puff of air. After that, pay attention to his chest, whether it still moves up and down or not.
Zein panics because Alika is not breathing, and checks her pulse for ten minutes.
"No dear..! don't leave me, please wake up!" Lirih Zein shook her head not wanting Alika to leave.
