Long Journey of Tough Women
48. The truth about Tristan da Cunha

A reality cannot be changed, but it can be lived. Running away from reality is not a wise attitude. Remain calm and accept and live what is in front of you, because there is no problem that is too scary that cannot be solved. Every problem must have a way out, even if it is not in accordance with what we want. Eda Sally

When Zain and two of his men were out of sight, Yuana immediately turned around and saw a woman about 23 years old and a man about 25 years old.

The two people smiled sweetly at Yuana and reached out to shake hands and introduce themselves. Yuana was confused as the two reached out at the same time.

Eventually Yuana's choice fell upon the woman and reached out to her.

"Welcome, miss. My name is Alika." Alika introduced herself

"I'm Yuana. Thanks for the warm welcome."

Yuana then looked towards the man and smiled then extended her hand.

"Yuana." Yuana said briefly with her friendly smile.

"I'm Habib. People often call me baby." Habib introduced himself with his charming smile.

"Let's go in first. Shower, change clothes, and then eat."

Alika looks very happy because she will have friends. Because, all this time he only lived alone in the house with his brother, Habib.

Yuana immediately took a shower and changed clothes. He looks fresh when finished bathing, and his beautiful face is more beautiful because in the water.

After she finished changing clothes, Yuana approached Alika and sat down next to her. Alika smiled and held onto Yuana's hand then said:

"Let's eat first. You must be hungry and tired."

Yuana did not dispute what Alika said. He immediately went to the dining table and enjoyed the cuisine of Alika which he thought was very good.

Finished eating, Yuana cleaned up the food marks, but was prevented by Alika.

"No need, miss. Just let me. Miss better take a break.

"I've been feeling refreshed, and I want to hear stories straight from you about what I don't know about Tristan yet."

"Alright lady. Come Beb. Help me tell you about the little island of Tristan to Miss Yuana."

"So, this is what Miss. Tristan is one of the six most remote islands in the world. You'll be shocked by the fact I'm about to mention."

"The population in Tristan is only 265-300 people. Why does the number consist of the range I mentioned? Because not everything here can last long. People come and go. There are only 265 indigenous people. The rest of the immigrants like us, so it's plucked into 300."

"You forgot one thing, baby! The area of Tristan island is only 98KM². So do not be surprised if later when tomorrow want to go for a walk, you will only meet the same people." Alika added

" Well I continue. Here too, no less modern though remote. Because there are large supermarkets, small museums, swimming pools, one school, local shops, as well as hospitals that provide complete facilities. If it hurts, we don't have to worry. Oya! The hospital is relatively small because it only has a capacity for 300 people. And even more surprisingly, his doctor was only one with the help of five nurses."

"Eh! But there is something unique about the doctor, miss because the doctor is from Korea. The doctor is very handsome. He chose to serve and serve patients on this remote island. She's only 23, so she's the same age as me. Pray that we are fooled. Alika looks antusian when talking about the doctor and put a hand on the cheek to look like a cute twelve-year-old girl.

"Hahaahhaha. You made me unable to help laugh. How could she fall in love with you while you just admire and fantasize from afar?" Yuana said in the rest of her laughter.

"Huh! Still good I did it blatantly. Than you can just hide from behind a window and smile when nurse Olive passes by. If you smile in that way, it is better to stop! Because even to the end of the world Olive's sister won't see your smile." Alika seduces her sister.

"Hahahhahaha already! It's been. Why even fight? Take me for a walk tomorrow? I want to see the whole island.

"Yes! I forgot to pass on this important information to you. The island was first settled in 1810. But because of the Gueen Mary's Peak volcano, which erupted in 1961, all residents chose to move to England. Because of its geographical location, Tristan entered the United Kingdom which should be included in British territory. However, for some reason and since when, Tristan entered the territory of southern Adrika. After the volcanic event that erupted, the residents again settled here in 1963."

"Now we are also forbidden to not overemphasize wealth, because the population is few and treated like there is a balance, so that no one feels to have more property and no one feels deprived." Alika added.

"If from here to England closer right? Why am I even told to turn around deep through Africa?"

Yuana muttered softly, but was heard by Habib and Alika.

"Maybe the great master has his own reasons." Alika answered.

"If I want to call, can I borrow your phone?"

"Oh I can. But if you want to use a cell phone, it must be with Mr. Zain's permission, because if you don't then my brother and I will be in danger."

"So any of those exiled here are not allowed to use mobile phones?"

"Yes. This phone's been tapped so we can't just make a call." Alika answered.

"That means you've both been using one phone and just for urgent needs?"

"It's true, miss."

"Then my phone is completely useless. Then what am I taking him for? If you want, just take it! I don't think I need this phone."

Yuana thrusts her phone to Alika. Yuana mobile phone is quite expensive and sophisticated, because it was bought by Bram's secretary for work. Therefore he did not want to wear it anymore because it would make him remember everything he had passed behind him.

"Is this phone right for me, miss? This is a very expensive phone." Alika said in awe as she turned back the phone that had moved into her hand.

"Yes. I gave it to you. I'm not kidding. Whatever you want to do because it's yours."

"Thank you so much, miss."

Alika looks very happy and hugs Yuana. While Habib sneered towards Alika. Alika replied to him by sticking out her tongue. Although they are both adults, their behavior is still often childish.
