SURVIVORS
Chaptre 303. Sky Full of Stars on Buwan Island
Dean and his team cleaned up the tall grass that was on empty land. It is located right next to the rice field, opposite the house of Sulaiman.
Horses and cattle are issued to enjoy the fresh air while grazing. Everything was tied with ropes, so as not to run to Sulaiman's garden. Cloudy was running back and forth happily on the already cracked highway here and there.
Widuri, Marianne, Niken and Jane are already busy preparing dinner. They prepared bread with the last slice of Yabie-given beef.
"Dean, it looks like tomorrow we have to cut off one of the two sheep. We don't have any more meat stock" Widuri reported.
"Alright .. tomorrow morning we do." Dean nodded in agreement.
"Alan, please light the fire!" marianne Pinta.
"okay!"
Alan immediately prepared a cooking stove. Made of large stacked stones. Then look for the old wood of the house that almost collapsed, behind them.
Meanwhile, Dean is assisted by Sunil and Robert takes care of most of the work with his third ability. The shelter is simple. On the poles, tied grass and leaves of rice to be used as emergency wall windbreak. The roof is open because there is not enough support wood to tie other leaves. Dean Lali spread the black stone slab from the stone mountain as a pedestal they sat down and slept later.
"Looking at this cottage of ours, I felt a hint of a romantic aura" Doctor Chandra said as he tied a handful of leaves.
"I mean Doctor?" leon didn't understand.
Together with Indra, the three were busy tying leaves and tall grass to be used as the wall of the cottage.
"Don't you see? Cottage from the grass in the middle of the huma, usually in romantic movies on television or cinema? It tells the struggle of lovers whose love does not fade by the rigors of life."
Doctor Chandra was slightly nostalgic and smiled faintly.
"Dock Boulevard. If not wrong, there are also sweet songs that take on that theme. But I'm also the poem" said Indra.
"Well .. it's been a long time since I last heard the chant" chirped Doctor Chandra.
Leon shook his head.
"No. No more singing. Last time we sang, our ship was wrecked in the sea by a storm ...."
Indra and Doctor Chandra chuckle at Leon's rejection. Of course they still remember the voyage from the shore of the blue dwarf nation.
"But everything that happened must have been destined," said Dr. Chandra sage.
Leon and Indra nodded in agreement.
"In that way, we can meet again with Dean. Silvia and you, Leon .. can meet each other. Baras is finally with Liam. Nastiti with Kang. And you got married in front of me one by one."
Doctor Chandra looks at their winding journey to the present.
"And now, we are back in Indonesia. But jump up to six years later. Could this be the risk of our journey penetrating space and time?" Alan nimbrung his third chat.
"That's possible. But it's not a big deal. It makes more sense that we've been missing for years, just returned. Rather than appearing before the year of the incident. Aye right?" indra.
Leon nodded. "You're right. It's easier to explain something like that."
"Has it all finished?" asked Dean from a distance.
"It's over!" answer Indra.
"Bring it up and put it all over the wall!" dean's orders.
Alan brought all the leaf and grass ties to where Dean, Sunil and Robert made the skeleton of the house. Alan helps to add grass to the wall, to make it thicker. They can feel warmer inside.
"Isn't that a pretty shack?" comment Niken.
"Unfortunately there is no roof. May it not rain tonight" please Widuri.
"Well, because there's not enough wood. And Dean certainly did not find a tree that could be cut down to serve as a roof support pole," said Marianne.
The sky is getting dark. Inside the hut, the purple light crystal became illumination. While outside, Alan adds a fireplace point to the ambient lighting and holds back the cold air that may come at night.
They gathered around the fire to enjoy dinner. The sense of happiness has returned to Indonesia to cheer the atmosphere that night. They laugh a lot and joke.
Marianne put aside one piece of bread complete with vegetable stir-fry stuffing and spicy seasoned meat slices. The bread was placed on a leaf.
"This is bread for Mr. Sulaiman. Go deliver it," she asked.
"Let me deliver" said Sunil.
He immediately stood up from his seat and picked up the bread Marianne had prepared. Sunil walked through the dark of the night with one wooden torch in his left hand and a loaf of bread in his right.
Sulaiman's courtyard was completely dark. But that didn't block Sunil's view. He can see in the dark with his special eyes. But earlier Will hand over a wooden torch, so that Sulaiman is not surprised to see Sunil's eye rays.
After knocking on the door twice, Sulaiman appeared and raised the broken door leaf from being broken.
With a friendly smile, Sunil thrust a bundle of leaves towards Sulaiman.
"We made bread for dinner. Maybe you're willing to taste it."
"Oh, thank you." Sulaiman welcomed Sunil's proposed package.
Why is your house dark? Don't you have any more firewood? Do we need help finding a little wood?" Sunil offered himself.
"Ah, there is actually a pile of wood behind the house. But when dusk comes, my eyes are blurred. Can't see anymore. It doesn't matter if it's dark either. I'm used to it" replied Sulaiman.
Sunil was surprised to hear that. This house does not need lights.
"But .. without a little fireplace, your house will feel very cold if night. Let me get you some firewood in the back."
Sunil left quickly. He forgot to bring the torch that had been planted on the ground. Then come back with a pile of firewood. He helped light a fire in the stone fireplace at the back of the house.
Sunil cooked a little water so Sulaiman could drink warm water. The owner of the house has been sick for days. Because there is no food supply in the kitchen. It was good that Marianne put aside a piece of bread for the man. Or he'll starve tonight.
"Dean, I've been here a while. This man needs a little help" Sunil said via voice transmission.
"OK," replied Dean.
"This warm drinking water is ready. You can have dinner and rest. Excuse me first" said Sunil.
He stood up and walked towards the door. Then stop.
"About this door, sorry .. we broke it down this afternoon. Tomorrow we will help fix it" promised Sunil.
"Thank you very much" said Sulaiman.
"Okay, excuse me. If you need anything, we're there. Please come, "get friendly.
After Sulaiman nodded, Sunil returned down the path with a torch in hand. From a distance, the cheerful voices of his friends were heard.
They enjoyed a night of very clean skies. While lying on their backs in the hut, they could see the stars in the sky. It is like sleeping in the open. It's just a little warm because there's a windbreak wall and a fireplace on the doorstep.
