After dressing Jasmine began to research the state inside the hut. He could see some simple kitchen utensils were there. Then Jasmine also checked the state outside the cottage. It turns out that behind the cottage there is a small spring that can be used for drinking water. Soon he returned to the cottage to take the pot he had seen. Then he used the pot to hold the water he would cook for drinking water.


Fortunately, the bonfire made by Adam was still burning even though it had started small. Immediately Jasmine came back out and looked for some dry twigs to be used as firewood. After that Jasmine instantly added the twig she had obtained to the fire that had already begun to extinguish. After trying for a while the fire was finally enlarged enough to turn off the water in the pot. While waiting for the water to ripen and Adam, Jasmine again checked the cottage to find a place that could be used as a glass. Finally he found a glass that looked quite dusty. Immediately Jasmine took him to the spring for him to wash.


When he returned to the cottage he was surprised because it turned out Adam had returned. The man even looked to be looking for himself.


"Where have you been Honey? I'm so worried about you!" adam hugged his wife.


"I'm just cleaning this so that later we can drink when the water is ripe" Jasmine said, feeling guilty for making her husband anxious while showing him the glass she was carrying.


"Oh.. well, next time wait for me first so I don't worry" Adam said as he guided Jasmine into the cabin.


It appears that there are already several kinds of fruit that have been found by Adam for them to fill the stomach. Adam immediately invited Jasmine to eat the fruits that he deliberately collected from the forest. The water that Jasmine was cooking was ripe as the two were about to start eating. Adam immediately helped Jasmine to lift the water that had just boiled it from the top of the fire by using the leaves to protect her hands.


After the two of them immediately ate the fruits that were there because the stomach both had started to rumble. After feeling full, the two rested on a bale-bale.


"Dear... Are we going to stay here first?" jasmine asked as she leaned her head on Adam's shoulder.


"Hem.. after we rest for a while we will find a way out of this forest and look for a settlement of residents in order to ask for help" said Adam explained his plan.


"Are you afraid to be here?" adam asked as he stroked Jasmine's head.


"No. As long as I'm with you I'll never be afraid" Jasmine said as she wrapped her hands around her husband's waist.


Adam kissed the soft top of Jasmine's head. He knew that his wife must have been feeling scared since the accident that hit both of them. Who is not afraid to know if anyone wants to harm both. Adam stroked Jasmine's back slowly, trying to make her feel calmer.


"We're leaving now.The day is still bright!" take Adam.


Jasmine agreed. Adam collected the rest of the fruit he had brought and wrapped it with banana leaves that he had used to bring the fruits. While Jasmine was looking for a container so that she could bring the water that she had cooked.


"Dear... How do we get this water?" jasmine asked Adam after he could not find the container he needed.


"Wait a minute!" adam said and then came out of the cabin somewhere.


He soon returned with a bamboo stick that he had cleaned. Then Adam put the water that had been cooked Jasmine earlier into the bamboo stem. Then the two left the cottage and began to walk through the forest. Adam took Jasmine along the banks of the river. Hope they can find a settlement around there. Several times they stopped to rest and drink the water they were carrying. Adam did not want to take Jasmine to walk too fast so that his wife did not feel too exhausted. He knew Jasmine had not healed properly.


After walking for about an hour, Adam finally heard the boisterous sound of children playing in the river. Immediately Adam brought Jasmine closer to the direction of the voice. And sure enough before long both can see the boys who are playing and swimming there. Adam immediately asked one of the boys where the nearest village was. And thanks to the instructions given by the boy both of them were now able to find a village located not far from the river.


After arriving at the village, Adam immediately knocked on one of the doors of the house. Soon the owner of the house came out from inside.


"Assynoltom..."


"Waalaikum salam... who is it?" ask the owner of the house who is a middle-aged woman.


"I'm sorry to introduce you to Adam. And this is my wife Jasmine. We had an accident and got lost in the woods." Adam told the owner of the house.


The owner of the house then invited both of them to enter his house and told both of them to sit in the living room. After introducing himself, he listened to Adam's explanation about the reason for the two until they could be in the village and asked for help to be able to contact his family.


"Sorry aden..here no one has a phone or cell phone as I asked. because the area here is quite remote even electricity here does not exist..." the owner of the house named Sumi.


"If aden wants to tomorrow I can take aden to the city" proposed Mr. Jajang husband bu Sumi.


"Thank you, ma'am, for your help with us." said Adam.


"Sama-sama den Adam.. now you better rest first.in this house there is still one more room" said Mr. Jajang and then told his wife to take the two to the room.


After returning to say thank you, the two followed Sumi. After showing the room they could occupy Sumi's mother also left the two in the room. Soon he returned with a change of clothes for both of them and a match for Jasmine when he found out if both were Muslims.


"It's wearing neng.. aden. sorry this is all we have.it's our clothes but it's still clean." said Sumi while handing over her clothes and mukena to Jasmine.


"It's okay ma'am.sorry it's been a hassle" said Jasmine, who was taken in by Adam.


Afterwards Sumi was alone and let the two rest. Adam and Jasmine immediately changed clothes after previously cleaning themselves in the bathroom behind the house. Adam and Jasmine also performed their worship which was delayed because it was in the forest. When they finished, the two rested by laying their bodies on the bed. Although the mattress is thin but better than when in the middle of the forest hut. Both of them fell asleep due to exhaustion.


Jasmine woke up first. For a moment he felt confused because he woke up not in a place he knew. But when he remembered what had happened to him and Adam he finally realized. When he looked to his side he could see Adam still asleep. Slowly Jasmine got up and got out of bed. He immediately came out of the room to meet the owner. He wanted to help as much as he could because he was allowed to rest there.


While passing through the kitchen he saw that Sumi was busy cooking. He also took the initiative to help the middle-aged obedient woman.


"Sorry mom. let me help you.." said Jasmine.


Sumi looked over and smiled at Jasmine.


"No need to neng.. mother is used to doing everything herself.." declined mum Sumi.


"Ga pa-pa ma'am..I also used to do homework like this..."


"Well if you want to force.." said Sumi.


Both of them also cook while telling stories and from there Jasmine knows if Sumi and her husband only live alone because his only son has died when he was five years old due to illness and did not have time to be taken to the doctor or health center because in the village there are no health facilities and to be able to get out of the village they have to pass through steep and difficult roads. Jasmine was moved to hear the story of Sumi and her husband. He also salutes because both remain compact and loyal to each other even though they no longer have offspring. What a couple to be an example of.


As the two were engrossed in the story, Adam's voice just woke up and met the two in the kitchen.


"I'm sorry my mom woke up in the afternoon." said Adam.


"It's okay with Adam. From the story of Jasmine mother understand that you must be very tired to walk that far to get here"


"Yes ma'am, thank you" said Adam.


"Oh yes ... where did Jajang go? I didn't see him" asked Adam.


"Oh. father, if this afternoon always go to find grass for our goats." explained Sumi.


They talk until Sumi and Jasmine finish cooking. Then the three took turns cleaning themselves because the day was getting late. As said bu Sumi village was not electrified. Therefore the atmosphere immediately dimmed once the sun began to sink. Adam immediately helped turn on the oil lamp so that the house was not dark. Even the sound of azan magrib was heard softly because it did not use loudspeakers.


Mr. Jajang who had returned home before the magrib invited Adam to pray for congregation at the musholla near their home. Adam agreed to it. In his heart he was filled to see the obedience of the people in the village who were diligent in worship amid the limitations they had. It is implied in Adam's heart to help them when later he has returned to his hometown.
