Swastika Naladhipa
Disaster on the Lake

''It's too dark here to see. How can we see it, Kailash?'' Tika looked at her surroundings that were full of mist.

''The more we come here the fog also gets thicker, '' Tika continued.

''Wait a minute, we need lighting, Kailash felt the contents of the pouch that was on his waist. It gives off a fairly large mushroom. The mushroom was almost as big as Tika's arm.

''A mushroom? Come on don't joke, Tika sounds serious.

''Just look. I'm not done yet, Kailash defended himself.

Kailash pressed long enough the top of the mushroom, precisely in the hood. A faint yellowish light began to shine. This time he brought the mushroom over one and gave it to Tika.

''This must be from the glowing mushroom forest right?'' tika Cela.

''Yes, of course. When I saw it, I picked it up right away because I was sure it would be useful on the way. And it turned out to be true, '' answered Kailash.

''Your intelligence need not be doubted, Kailash. You are indeed smart, praised Tika.

''No, he.he'' Kailash blushed in embarrassment.

''Why didn't I know when you took it? I was behind you, Tika asked.

''When you were stunned by the passing jellyfish colony, thankfully I did not stay, '' said Kailash.

''Take this, we will need it very much, '' Kailash gave the same mushroom to Tika.

''Hmm.well,'' Tika grabbed the mushroom from Kailash's hand.

''Thank God we have this mushroom, it could be that we will get lost in the middle of this misty lake.

''Well yes.'' exclaimed Tika.

Duarrrrrr!!!!...

The thunderous lightning revealed itself behind the fog and the lightning came together making the dark atmosphere bright in just a few seconds. It went on for a few times.

The originally calm lake suddenly shook the small boat they were riding on. The water ripples were now starting to rise due to the wind gusts that were also quite strong. They were floating in the middle of the lake.

''Mamaaaa!!...,"

Instantly Tika widened both her eyes and closed her ears . He was half-dead and almost fell into the lake. Fortunately, Kailash quickly grabbed his hand.

''Relax, now hold on to this boat, do not fall, '' Kailash grasped Tika's hand so tightly.

''I was suspicious from the beginning because everything was so calm and there were no signs of life in this lake, Kailash covered his face with his left hand.

The drizzle started thick as falling spikes and made the mushroom that illuminated them now dim. Now the atmosphere is so gripping. The lightning that struck, the thick fog, the ripples of the lake that were so high and pitch black. I don't know what to do with the little supplies they bring.

''We have to what now? I'm scared, '' shouted Tika.

''Relax, we are almost on the island. The important thing is to hold on tight now. There's nothing we can do, but don't give up Kailash said.

Tika tried to calm down and strengthen the grip. I want to scream and cry right now. I don't know sorry I don't know the upset he's feeling right now. In his heart of importance he wanted to return to his grandmother's house.

In trying his hardest to defend himself, a whirlpool appeared before them. The longer the vortex enlarges and begins to swallow whatever goes into it.
