SURVIVORS
Chapters 74. The Transition of Two Worlds
"Waahh .. The view of the river here is beautiful!"
Glad to see the beauty of the river. His head turned to the left right watching the multicolored maple trees.
"Yes, in this place we are experiencing autumn." Leon added.
"Truly beautiful."
Doctor Chandra chimed in their chatter. Until they got near the rock cliffs where the warm water fell and made hot steam rise and spread in all directions. The air starts to get warm and humid.
"Is the pool up there?" ask Liam.
"Yes." Yeah." Robert stepped down and climbed on a large rock nearby. The four friends climbed up through the stones.
"Be careful the stone is slippery dock," Gilang reminded doctor Chandra who was behind it.
"Okay," said Dr. Chandra.
"Woa.. Amazing," immediately heard Leon's voice from above, making Chandra's doctor more curious.
"Hahaha .. This is heaven."
Liam ran and jumped to the edge of the pool. He immediately took off his shoes and stepped on the beautiful rocks on the edge. His feet are warm. He smiled broadly at his teeth. Swirling in the calf-high water while stretching out hands with heads turned up and eyes closed.
"It's amazing." He was stunned, while Dr. Chandra was speechless. But his face showed admiration.
"True, this is a hidden paradise." Robert agreed with Liam.
"Then where's that maple alley you said it was?" ask doctor Chandra curiously.
"There's a rock behind the cliff" pointed Robert to the middle of the pool.
"Say, you come with me" asked Robert, who walked around the edge of the pond through several maple trees.
Robert walked down the edge of the pool and estimated the location of the maple passage he had seen yesterday. But he did not find any maple trees lined up to form a hallway.
"Any," said Robert with a frown.
"Weird what? What are you looking for?" tanya Gilang did not understand.
"Today I saw a maple hallway from the pool in that section. But there's no maple tree in the hallway." Robert explained.
"Hmmm.." Glad nodded his head.
"So, try you here first, I go into the pool and try to see if you can be seen from the hallway there" Robert suggested.
"Okay, I'm waiting here," Gilang agreed.
Robert took off his shoes and clothes on the edge, then splashed and swam to the center then turned behind a rock cliff in the middle of the pond. Liam followed from behind. Leon was still busy picking out the beautiful stones on the ledges. While Chandra's doctor is still watching Gilang.
"Say, you hear me? I don't see you here" cried Robert from behind a rock.
Liam who was right on the side of the rock cliff, came to see the maple hall on the edge of the pond not far from there.
"Say, you're invisible here. Try sliding over there a little, "Liam gave a cue.
Dr. Chandra walked down the edge of the pool and saw Robert and Liam looking up at Gilang standing up.
"But why is Gilang invisible to them?' doctor Chandra thought astonished.
"Can you see me?" ask Dr. Chandra to Robert and Liam. But I get no response from them.
"Hey, Leon. Can you hear me? Ask Robert, can he see me here?" chandra's doctor shouted at Leon by the pool.
"Where's Robert?" Leon asked back.
"Behind that rock. You just yell from there and ask, "doctor Chandra orders.
"Liam, did you see Dr. Chandra standing there?" point Leon at Dr. Chandra.
"No. I didn't see it." Liam replied.
"They didn't see you doc" cried Leon.
"Did you hear my voice Liam?" shouts doctor Chandra again.
"Hey, didn't you hear Doctor Chandra's scream?" Leon was really surprised to see Liam who was silent did not tell.
"Nothing!" sahut Liam assured.
"They didn't see or hear you Doc. Just back. Gilang, you come back too" cried Leon calling his two friends.
"What a weirdo? You can hear my screams, but they're not. I saw them right in front of me." Dr. Chandra doesn't think about this.
"I think the world behind the rock cliffs might not be part of this world anymore" Leon said.
"But Robert was able to return from that part of the pool yesterday. And you can still talk to Liam." Dr Chandra denied.
"Eitherway. I don't know" replied Leon.
"Maybe it's the transition part between two different worlds?" muttered Gilang heard by his two friends.
"Hemm, it could be that your opinion is correct." Dr. Chandra praised.
"Liam, try to get Robert here first" chanted Dr. Chandra.
Before long Robert and Liam returned to the edge. Doctor Chandra said about Gilang's opinion as well as the fact that Robert and Liam could not see him and Gilang, nor did he hear his voice even though he was standing right in front of Robert on the edge of the pool.
"Hmmm. So it's true, that maple tree passage is another part of the world that can only be seen from inside the pond behind the rock cliff." Robert concluded and responded with a nod of his friends' heads.
"In that case, we take a shower first. Anyway, we can't get in there without careful preparation. Because we're most likely not coming back. Just like when we crossed a wall of light in a snow forest, that time," Robert broke up.
"All right, we'll have fun first." Gilang took off his shoes and clothes and ran into the pool and swam.
"I got a lot of pretty stones" Leon said opening both of his palms.
"Waahh, you're the fastest. Hahahaa," Liam started swimming around looking for colorful rocks at the bottom of the pond.
The five men swam, washed clothes, soaked and collected rocks until the sun passed the top of the head.
"The water play. My stomach is hungry. Let's go home," take Dr. Chandra who then pulls over.
Wet clothes are collected in baskets. They went home with satisfied faces. These findings should be discussed with the women and Indra.
Their hearts were filled with hope again to find a way out of that place and find another separate team member.
Arriving at the cottage, the face of doctor Chandra getting brighter saw Indra had started to sit in front of the man's cottage.
"Haha! It seems that patients recover faster if treated with love," chandra doctor's tease greeted with another laugh.
Indra grimaced hearing those soft voices.
"What did you find in that pool of warm water?" ask Indra.
"This. There's a whole pond," Leon showed Indra his treasure.
"Wuihh is so beautiful. Can be made into ring eyes or others," exclaimed Indra amazed.
"You're right, man. If this stone is finely honed, she will be even more beautiful." said Liam agreed.
"By the way, do you still have Marianne's threads?" ask Robert.
"There was. I'll get you a second, "Women's cabin and out tote Marianne's backpack.
"Here," Baras handed the bag to Robert who was sitting on the bench.
Robert was looking at some of his stones.
"Who do you think is the most beautiful?" ask Robert to Barrel.
Laras watched for a moment and pointed at a green stone.
"It's gorgeous. But that one is also beautiful. Everything is beautiful" answered Laras, laughing in confusion.
Robert chose the colorful thread of Marianne's collection. He chose one color and began to make the bonds of several strands of yarn. Insert the stone that has been selected Laras into it. Robert made many knots and braids along the thread. And soon the job was done.
"This is for you." Robert handed over a simple necklace from the knot of the rope with a stone pendant that Laras had chosen.
"It's beautiful" praised Laras.
He immediately put the necklace on his neck and fell sweetly on his chest.
"Thank you Robert" Baras smiled sweetly.
A moment of spring's scent came to Robert's heart. But soon he was pushed aside, because he realized that Laras had kept someone in his heart. He breathed slowly and nodded slowly towards Laras.
