SURVIVORS
Chapters 12. Allegations (revision)
In the wreckage of the plane.
Widuri, Laras, Niken, Marianne, Sunil and Alan who got the task of finding food around, have been working hard. Sunil even got into the trunk of the plane. The snow from last night's rain was high enough to be a ladder. Just add and compact the snow so that it can be stepped on and used as a ladder.
Sunil took out all the remaining suitcases and boxes. The luggage room was also filled with piles of snow covering the items there.
Marianne finally found her luggage. He thinks it will be very useful later. They also re-examined the rolled-up central cabin and collected enough items from it and took them all to a shelter to sort out the contents.
After examining and sorting them out, they found quite a number of clothes and fabrics that Marianne thought they could use. Marianne opened her suitcase and purse and showed a lot of thread, needles and scissors.
Niken also found some snacks. They separate what they need in 1 suitcase and bag.
Marianne immediately picked up some of the tshirts she prepared. He wants to make gloves for everyone. Widuri, Laras and Niken watched him scissor the clothes. Marianne taught them how to sew simple to make gloves.
Alan and Sunil prepared a fire and cooked warm water.
Before long the women of the firewood search team returned. They pile up wood and keep warm. They work while chatting. The shelter became crowded.
Alex suddenly ran in..
"Sunyl... Are you inside? We found an Indian-faced person there. Do you want to see?"
His voice gasping. Air vapor clearly came out of his mouth. Lena approached with a glass of warm water in hand and thrust it at Alex.
Sunil surprised.
"Yes, show me the way,"
'Maybe it's my wife?' he thought impatiently. But he let Alex drink first. Then they both left.
The place was then quiet. All lowered their heads, silent and immersed in each other's thoughts.
"Mom Marianne, why don't you call Australia where we're stranded? Is there not winter there? And it's closer than North America or Europe."
Nastiti's voice broke the silence.
"Because winter in Australia is in the middle of the year. Before I arrived in Australia, I was from Melbourne. It's springtime" Marianne replied as she continued to sew the gloves.
Nastiti nodded in understanding. But Lena looked at him cynically. He was still irritated because he was required to work to find firewood, what else in the cold air like this. Lena was looking to vent her frustration.
"It looks like we've never been to Australia" Lena said, scathing and condescending.
Some people looked at Lena with frowning because they didn't like it. But they didn't comment anything.
Nastiti doesn't care either. He ignored Lena altogether and even started to help make the gloves.
The neglected Lena felt embarrassed, her face red withstanding anger. With a grumble he entered the cabin. No one thinks of him there. He has to talk to Alex and find a partner to oppose Dean.
Some time later Toni, Alex, Michael and Gilang returned while dragging the trunks of trees they cut down and left lying outside. They enter to warm the already cold body and fill the stomach with warm water.
Sunil followed behind while looking down. He chose to sit outside.
"Is the body you found Sunil's wife?" ask Niken when giving a glass of warm water to Gilang. Gilang nodded, then sat down and drank.
"Where did you find him?" ask the curious Goddess.
Michael sighed while looking down at the cup in his grasp.
"We found him stuck in a tree to be cut down. Toni said the woman had an Indian face. Then he had Alex look for Sunil to make sure of it."
"Then?" urged Angelina.
"When Sunil arrived, he cried and called his name. Then we discussed how he thought. Whether it is taken down or left there. We also explain the risk if it is lowered by cutting down trees. Worst of all, his wife's frozen corpse would be blown away and smashed to pieces. After thinking, he finally agreed to be taken down. Next, guess yourself." Michael ends the story.
"But you buried him, didn't you?" ask Silvia to make sure. Michael nodded.
The barrel takes wood full of embers and some dry wood. He built a bonfire near Sunil. Niken thrust a cup of warm water into Sunil's hand to warm his hand.
The two women went back in and let Sunil. The man needs time for himself now.
While entering the shelter, Laras does not find Toni, Alex and Lena. Where're they? Her thought. Just now Laras wanted to ask the others, the three people he was looking for came out of the cabin. They warm themselves near the fire. Toni thundered small.
"In your opinion, do we really need to go and get help out of the forest? We don't even know which way to go. We also don't know how big this forest is."
Tony started the conversation. But no one responded yet.
"Because it's winter here, everywhere in the country, everything is winter. Even if we know the road that must be passed, but walking in the forest with this thick snow is not easy. We've all tried, haven't we?" he added.
"Is it possible to walk a day and find a village? Or it will take a few days before we get to the foot of the mountain? Then how do we take cover if we have to walk for days? Plus we don't have food stocks."
"By continuing to walk, we do not have time to find food and make a shelter. Do we have to create a new shelter every afternoon?" Toni presents several possibilities.
"Rubber.... After all, there were many wolves in this forest. You didn't forget the wolves that came to this place, did you?" added Lena complete Toni's description.
Others cannot deny all that Toni and Lena put forward. They also do not know how to. Most of them are not used to living in the wild with such extreme weather. So they will follow whoever is most likely to be able to keep everyone safe.
"But there's no food here anyway?" hatch Silvia. The others nodded in agreement.
"But if we walk, we not only have no food, we are also tired and have no shelter." Tangkis Lena won't lose.
Widuri and Larasati glanced at each other. They noticed the exciting discussion while sewing the gloves. Eventually they stopped arguing because they did not get a meeting point.
They are tired, cold and hungry. But it seems that the women are not also preparing to make food.
"That's why the logs that were cut have not been cleaned. This wall of protection can't build itself, can it?"
Sindir Widuri on the team in charge of strengthening the shelter.
Huh! Acting in the lead by inciting people. But setting up a sanctuary just doesn't want to, "widuri snorted inwardly.
Michael, Gilang and Alex were amazed. They quickly stood up and took the saw. Do not get the women's diomelin, can be a long affair. Moreover, Dean has confirmed, who does not work, can not eat. But Toni didn't budge.
"The one who didn't finish the job, couldn't eat" added Marianne coldly.
Toni got up angrily and helped the three other men who had already come out.
'Don't be unable to eat, I'm already very hungry' grumbled inwardly.
