...10. Caribbean from Java (2)...
Aldi
Using the Express Bahari crossing they occupy an executive class that features seating facilities according to ticket numbers, air-conditioned rooms, bathrooms and tvs.
For him this is not the first time. But he found the trip this time more enjoyable. He secretly took a photo of the girl staring at the outside view from the window with her hands supporting her chin.
His courage is only limited to taking candid photos. Then he commented a smile, staring at the results of the photo shoot on his cellphone camera.
Aldi approached the girl and offered her a bottle of mineral water.
“MINum ...” He offered while thrusting the bottle of mineral water on a small table that became a partition between the two.
“Thanks, Mas.” He took the bottle but did not drink it.
"Instance ...."
“Outside is already blazing this hour. Hopefully the next two days in Karimun Jawa the weather is friendly" he hoped. But in his heart he wished he had stayed there longer.
“You can swim, Rei?” Ask later.
“Can, but less smoothly,” answers shyly. After the father died his swimming activities completely stopped. Since then, he has never even played swimming.
“Ambigu!” Cold spray.
“Hah!” He's woken. “Means?”
“Javab can or not!” Just relax.
“Former as a child did practice often. But it's been fourteen years never again,” he replied a little annoyed.
“You will feel the loss if you can not swim while on the island. The scenery there is more tempting than anything," he said. Although with an undetectable facial expression, but explained that he is an adventure figure.
The girl looked back at the window. He ignored her sitting in front of him. While propping up his chin with his hands on the table.
“Pake!”
Kirei looked up at her and turned to look at the orange life jacket she was carrying.
“I'm afraid you drowned if this ship why-why,” he said casually but with a sneer mocking. Though in his heart he laughed happily at his expression.
“No need times, Mas. The others don't use it either. Tuh view.” Kirei showed another passenger with his chin who was also not wearing a life jacket.
“Parno times anyway!” His eyes were upset over Aldi's excessive actions according to him.
Instead he boasted a smile, “Preventing is better, right than being late!”
“Iya .. Yes I use!” Spray Kirei with a bent face.
The journey by fast boat is only taken in less than two hours.
Send them to the port of Karimun Jawa.

Kirei
Welcomed monument in blue indicates he has landed on the island of Karimun Jawa safely.
“We go straight to the inn first. Save the goods,” said Aldi who walked beside him after the ship landed in the port.
“Weight, Rei?” Ask Mas Budi to him who sees a little hassle with his luggage. A medium-sized backpack and a carry bag containing equipment during the stay.
“Here I bring,” says mas Budi offers help.
“Eh, no need Mas. I can still handle,” to him. It is impossible for him to trouble Budi mas who clearly also carries a lot of goods. Large mountain backpack. Camera bag with pretense. Not to mention the tripod.
And the annoying figure of Aldi who only carries one backpack looks sauntered leisurely walking ahead of them.
“Peasily,” grunts.
Using their rented car to an inn not far from the port.
After coordinating they agreed to go directly to the location of the coverage. A village where most of the people work as fishermen.
During an interview with the source, Aldi was seen pulled over and away. He seemed to be talking to someone over the phone. But not long after he rejoined.
“How many resource?” He asked as he sat beside her.
“Four,Mas.” The answer.
“We immediately meet the head of his cooperation and the head of the village,” his proposal. “Kalo can today finish tomorrow morning we can directly return to Semarang.”
“Okay.” Legally.
And as time was pursued, that day he and Mas Budi completed coverage until the afternoon. Aldi figure out where the jungle.
“Rei, briefly yes. I called my son's wife,” said Mas Budi with a little away.
"I was first, yes, Mom." He said as he waved his hand and was replied with a nod.
He walked first to the inn which was not too far from the last location of his coverage.
Hot and hot weather immediately ambushed him. Sweat flooded his body. The clothes he was wearing were wet and sticky. He was wearing comfortable clothes and sweat.
He repeatedly flapped his hands in front of his face. Trying to dispel the rage that surrounds it. Even the hat he was wearing seemed to only be able to reduce the heat a little. Though time has shown three past thirty afternoons.
Upon arrival at the inn he immediately turned on the air conditioning. Throwing his hat and backpack just like that on a small table in the corner of the room. He broke his tired body.
He opened his eyes as the ringing of his phone roared forcing him to wake up. The cell phone lying on the nightstand.
“Rei,” says someone from ujang there.
“Hem ...."
“You're still sleeping?”
“Oh .. come on. Here is a nice view.”
“Where?” His eyes were still closed and his phone was still on his right cheek.
“You have been waiting for Budi in front of the room. I wait now at the beach.”
Tut..
The phone was cut from across.
Lazily, he opened his eyes. Still yawned a few times. Then the door of the room was knocked from outside.
“Rei ...” Call someone from behind the door.
He woke up with a step gontai open the door, “Mas Budi,”
“I wait, yes. Aldi's waiting for us at the beach."
He nodded, “I change first, Mas.” He closed the door again and went to the bathroom to change his clothes.
Arriving at Aldi beach is complete with snorkeling equipment. Then give his other snorkel to him.
“Wear!” Declared.
“WHAT!” The pecker is in the heart.
“Ta-but ...”
But Aldi put it on first.
“Supply jacket so you don't drown,” she said while putting it on her body.
“Masker so you can see the scenery under the sea. Keep using this also snorkel.” Said again.
“Mas, a-i ...”
He was then pulled and told to wear fin shoes (frog legs).
“Pas?” Ask.
He just nodded but was lazy to respond.
Luckily he wore a long swimsuit that had been prepared since his departure so that in this condition he was ready to plunge into the sea. Although he actually hesitated, because it has not been swimming for a long time.
Kirei was still flinching in his place. While mas Budi is engrossed in snorkeling.
But suddenly he gasped as his hand was just pulled by Aldi.
“Until when do you sculpt there?” He grunted while continuing to pull him into the middle.
“Dark hunting and the view in the sea can no longer be seen.” Struck.
The calm waves made it easier for him to see the seabed. With such a depth as an adult he tried snorkeling. See the underwater biota.
He smiled happily in his heart when he saw Nemo fish chasing Dori fish. Like in the movie he's seen. Then the starfish that floated like in the air and various types of fish that he did not memorize his name but which must be so beautiful with colorful colors that are striking to the eye. The amazing!
Unknowingly so preoccupied he was almost to the middle with more depth than before. Floating with hands trying to reach anything nearby.
Suddenly he felt cramps in his legs and hands and tried to move them but was so difficult to hurt.

Aldi
By Aldi panicked not playing when he saw the girl was far to the middle of floating.
He tries to swim at full speed to find Kirei who looks something has happened.
Sure enough, after grabbing the girl's body. It turns out he was unconscious. With panic and excessive worry he then brought her to her knees. There was a Budi there ready to wait for him.
The girl he laid on a dry cloth. Then covered with a towel.
“Rei ...” Call him by patting his cheek. But he was shaking with his eyes closed.
“Kirei,” call him again while checking his pulse.
“Normal,” said.
“Maybe she's in shock,” says Budi.
“We take it to the inn. He could be cold, Al. His face was so pale. His hands and feet are also cold.”
Without thinking long, he carried the girl to the inn which was not far from the snorkeling place.
