On Paper #96

As the day went on, the sun illuminated the world with its warming rays. Alvaro woke up from his sleep because he felt glare with bright sunlight until it penetrated into the tent where he was resting. He sat down and immediately drank the water that was always near his bed. Then fold the blanket and open the tent and come out of hiding.

It turns out that outside is a bit crowded, some people already seem busy with their activities. Some brew coffee, some seem to stretch muscles and do light gymnastics, others just sit back. They threw smiles at Alvaro who was sitting among them.

"morning sir, did he sleep last night ?"greet a white team member to Alvaro.

Alvaro replied with a nod and a small smile. Then get up from his seat.

"well, very good"

"you better get ready, 'cause we're gonna start combing the woods after this"

" 1 hour from now !"

alvaro said, then left his place and returned to his tent. The man immediately tidied the bed in the tent and acted quickly to tear down his tent.

After the fabric of the tent folded, and the small pillars of support have been collected into one. Alvaro grabbed a black and red box of bread and took one for him and distributed it to everyone there, not forgetting to hand out a box of milk he had brought.

Elsifa felt guilty for making Sandy's arm hurt because she couldn't move freely overnight. He continued to apologize to Sandy while crying a sigh. Even when Sandy told her to stop her crying, Elsifa still cried even though she did not speak.

"well, are you gonna keep crying all day ?" Sandy couldn't stand it because Elsifa was still sobbing.

El did not answer, he stopped crying because he did not want to make the man in front of him more upset with him.

"all right, I'm gonna go get some food first, you wanna come or just stay home ?" ask Sandy to make a choice. El quickly replied that he was looking for food.

The two of them left the tree house Sandy had just built a few days ago and began to look for wild fruits growing in the forest for them to eat together.

Elsewhere, Alvaro and rescue teams have begun to move through forest areas that are still very natural. Maybe the forest is a protected forest area. Teams are divided into groups that move in different directions. Each team consists of between 3-5 people equipped with special communication tools to share information if they find what they are looking for or find traces that can help in their search.

Alvaro with the chief of the rescue team. Walking westward into the forest. Shortly afterwards, Alvaro and team saw a wooden building standing in the middle of the forest. The team leader ordered his members to go inside the wooden house and check if anyone was inside.

A few moments later,

"it looks like the house is already uninhabited, the conditions inside are very dirty and there are many cobwebs everywhere" reported one team leader waiting in front with Alvaro.

Soon a man who looked at the back of the house also reported that no trace of anything had been left. They continued their search.

Until noon there was not the slightest hint of the whereabouts of the 2 people they were looking for. But they couldn't give up because their task wasn't done until they found Elsifa and Sandy safe.

The team leader asked Alvaro for permission for them to take a short break to eat and drink first to recover their depleted energy because they also had to work extra mowing grass and leafy grass and wild plants which blocked their path. Alvaro allowed it.

The man sat on a large wooden chunk and used a wide leaf like a reddish purple taro leaf as a seat. Then take the phone he placed on a wallet tied to his belt and try to turn on the flat object. Hoping that there is an internet signal that can be caught for him to contact Diana the wife who is certainly nervous because she has not yet heard from the husband. But free, because let alone the internet signal for the operator signal is not visible.

"fuck, Diana could be worried like this" Alvaro growled while turning off his phone and saving it back.

"cobra report to the dragon, change !"

"dragon receive change, please report !"

Krek krek

"target.." krek krek.

reports were interrupted, no sound was heard from the device, while trying to call back turned out to be fruitless. Then Alvaro asked to continue the search until the afternoon.

On the other hand, Diana kept glancing at the mobile phone placed on the nightstand near her bed, waiting for news from her husband. But for hours there was no news he was waiting for.

"don't you call me yet to tell me the hell ?"

"don't know what, I'm worried about waiting"

"how hard is it just to tell you ?"

diana grumbled alone and then chose to go out of her room and meet her father and mother who were sitting on the back porch of the house by the pool.

"father, mother" Diana said to her parents.

A middle-aged woman and a man with almost whitened hair all immediately turned his head towards the direction of the voice. The mother moved her hand so that the old man nearby slightly shifted his seat to make room for the child. The husband understood and immediately shifted his butt. Diana immediately sat in the middle of her mother and father.

Diana pursed her lips to embrace the mother. Her mother responded by stroking the head of her daughter with affection.

"why are you, son ?" asked the father to also stroke Diana's shoulder.

"i'm upset with Alvaro, he hasn't told me yet"

"when he promised as soon as possible, give word"

His father and mother smiled to see his son who looked upset because he was worried about the state of the husband who went abroad to look for the sister who was reported to have disappeared due to the tragedy of a plane crash.

"it's possible there is no internet signal so your husband can't reach you" said the mother trying to comfort her son.

Meanwhile, Alvaro ran when he heard the voice of a woman shouting from the direction of the river.

Bruk bruk

the sound of boots on Alvaro's feet stomped the ground running down the path leading to the river. Upon arriving at the river, Alvaro finds a young woman along with a man familiar to him.

"Elsifa !!!"
