The Ugly Wife's
Finding Kemal

Zidan, who was still in the middle of the forest all by himself, looked at the star-infested night sky in frustration.

Occasionally he glanced at the brightly lit phone screen beside him, hoping that there would be a network signal that appeared there, but the results were nifil.

The man also became more agitated. Not because he was afraid, but he was anxious to make Ashifa wait with worry because there was no news from him today.

Every day at the same time, Zidan always took the time to call Ashifa and tell the woman, what he and his team had achieved in the search for Kemal.

"Arrghhhh! Now what do I do, do I really have to spend the night here? If you have to spend the night, at least give my phone a signal!" grunt Zidan hard.

Suddenly from the side, there was the sound of a broken branch, and the sound of someone's steps who was coming towards Zidan.

Zidan quickly reacted and began to mount self-defense, grabbing a wooden stick he had brought from the tent as his support while walking on the uphill plains.

As the figure drew closer, Zidan raised the stick aloft. But how surprised he was when he found out that the person who came was the one whose purpose came to this place.

The figure that has been more than a week continues to be searched with difficulty, a figure that is mourned by the woman who is very Zidan love.

Well, it was the figure of Kemal, walking with a staggering step towards Zidan. Even though Kemal's face looks shabby, Zidan can still recognize it well.

His body looked frail and powerless, due to lack of food, and could only eat what nature had provided for him.

"O_om Kemal?" call Zidan in doubt, still in disbelief of what he is seeing right now.

"Zidan's? Ah, it turns out that the light we saw just now came from the flashlight you were carrying. Thankfully, I think there is someone who has strayed alone in this forest" Kemal said with a happy smile.

Zidan who saw the smile on Kemal's face, as well as his voice that was forced to sound fine, immediately became sad.

How could the man in front of him today still be able to smile like that, after a plane crash, and had to be confined for days in the wilderness without food and drinks.

While Zidan, who had only been lost there for a few hours, had complained and was indistinctly angry.

"Zidan is lost. Zidan could be here, because he was looking for the whereabouts of om Kemal"

"I'm sorry for making you have to suffer like this Zidan. You must have done all this because you were forced by Asyifa right?"

"Even if Asyifa didn't ask me to look for om, I would still do it. Because I want to break the contents of the letter I wrote to me"

"Ah, the letter. This means that now you have broken the contents of the letter, because you have managed to find om alive"

"really so. But unfortunately, I can't help om out of this forest right now, because my map is gone, so I'm lost all alone like this"

"Hahahaha, a map-lost seeker, what a funny story. But no problem, we can get out tomorrow morning from here when the sunlight appears. For now, we'll just go back to where the other victims were"

"Co_other victims? You mean, there are more survivors besides om?" zidan asked in surprise.

"Yes, there's still. At first it was just an om and a girl, but we also began to find other victims who also survived gradually. Until now there were 5 people alive, and 10 people who had become corpses"

"Ten people? That many missing people who died in a plane crash?"

"No. Who died immediately because of the plane crash there were only 5 people, two people died because the injuries suffered were not treated properly, then 3 people died because of lack of food intake into the body"

Deg. Zidan's heart seemed to stop beating hearing Kemal's speech. The guilt of not being able to find the victims quickly approached him.

"That's all their destiny, Zidan. It's not your fault or any other member of the search team. Because om know, you must have tried as well as you can" comfort Kemal, as if he could read the contents of Zidan's mind.

"What is the location of om and other victims so far, far from where the plane crashed? What's the location near where we are now, om?"

"Yes, the location is not far from here. The location decreases a little more there, later you will definitely find a small hut that we built with makeshift materials"

Zidan looked in the direction where Kemal's hand was pointing, and at that moment his emotions became uncontrollable. Fiercely, Zidan began to hit the trunk of the large tree beside him with all his might.

Kemal who saw that, immediately became surprised and quickly stopped Zidan's actions with his weak body. Given the condition of the man, Zidan was forced to stop.

Instead, Zidan slumped to the ground and cried regretfully. He felt very stupid, not believing in his own instincts.

"My heart always goes to that place, my heart always says at all times to search outside of the designated location. But why didn't I follow him from the beginning? If only I followed him, maybe the corba that has now become a corpse, I can still save!"

"It's not your fault, it's my fault" a voice denied from the back of Zidan and Kemal's body.

"Sir Willy? Why are you in this place?" zidan asked in surprise.

"I came to look for you, because your two best friends were so worried about you"

"I'm doing fine. They shouldn't have to worry about me, because I've only been here a few hours, unlike the victims"

"Don't talk like that, and don't blame yourself for everything that's happened. You've done the best you can, if anyone's to blame, it's me. Because I'm the one who didn't hear your opinion to search off-site. I'm sorry Zidan, I'm sorry sir" Willy said, apologizing to Zidan and Kemal.

"It's not your fault, it's our destiny to walk like this. What matters is that now you've found us, and you can get us out of here"

"certain sir. I'll signal the rest of the team so that I can catch up to this place soon"

Willy fired a signal into the air as a sign of himself asking for help from his team. Dark conditions, making the light become very bright in the sky.

"Sure, let's follow me"

Zidan and Willy followed Kemal's footsteps very slowly, heading to the hut where the others were.

But because of pity to see Kemal who had difficulty walking, Zidan also thought of a way to be able to help the man.

"Om Kemal"

"Yes, what's up Zidan?"

"Will you mind if Zidan offers to carry Kemal on Zidan's back?"

"Om sure to be very grateful for your help, Zidan" Kemal replied sincerely.

Quickly, Zidan also lowered his head in front of Kemal so that his back could be climbed. After Kemal was up there, he showed his hand to Zidan and Willy.

*****

It did not take long, the struggle to get the survivors out and also bring the bodies of other victims, finally began.

The struggle felt very long, because all team members had to work with circumstances that were not supportive. Lack of lighting, their main problem.

But in order to get everything out of the forest that night and bring them back into the arms of their family members, everyone struggled without any heartbreak.

After a few hours, all the struggles finally paid off, seeing how eager the victims enjoyed the food provided for them.

They even stabbed him with a face full of tears. Only Kemal looks busy watching them, making sure that everyone gets what they need.

"Om, om must also eat the food that has been provided for om" Adam said.

"Om was moved to see people who had lost hope some time ago, now had that hope again. That's why you can't eat at all"

"Adam also felt the same feeling that om felt. And it would be even more perfect, if om started to eat his own food. Or, um want adam to help you bribe?"

"Hahaha, do you think it's a child, so you can't eat alone?" tanya Kemal laughed cheerfully.

"Then, om should start eating it now. I'll sit and watch from here"

"Well, I'll eat now"

Kemal also began to feed food into his mouth spoonfuls for as much as possible. Adam who saw it, smiled happily.

Zidan, Raka and Willy who were watching Kemal from afar were also happy. At first Zidan thought something was wrong with the man, for some reason he was afraid to eat the food.

But suddenly Kemal's body gave a strange reaction. The man suddenly spewed out all the food he had just put into his mouth.

"Om Kemal!" zida shouted in panic and immediately approached the man.

"What's going on, Dam?"

"I don't know either, Raka. Suddenly Kemal spewed his food"

"Omm? Om okay, right? What do you feel now?" ask Zidan bertubi.

"Om is fine. You all do not have to worry like that, om spit out his food probably because it has been a few days not eating it"

"We have to keep checking the condition of the father, so we can know more clearly what happened. I'm gonna call a doctor and bring him here"

"I'd be very grateful for that, Mr. Willy"

Willy went to the tent that was at the very end of the other tents. Because there is a tent that becomes a special place of medicine hall, of course all doctors are there.

Fortunately, the other victims were examined before they were told to eat, so now the doctors must be free to work and can immediately handle Kemal.

On the other hand, Kemal who tried to re-insert food into his mouth, only ended up vomiting again. But this time his vomit became worse, until his face turned as pale as a corpse.

Kemal who did not want to admit that his current condition was not okay, so as not to make the three young men who were beside him anxious, again wanted to put food back in his mouth.

But quickly, his intentions were stopped by Zidan. The man immediately grabbed the spoon in Kemal's hand, and kept the food out of his presence.

"I don't think it's okay now. Eat the cukuo until here first, let the doctor to check the health condition om first"

"Jeez, I'm fine, Zidan. Return the food so that you can start filling the stomach because now you are very hungry"

"Om can't eat it. From earlier, only a spoonful entered, Om immediately vomited it again. Raka thought, what Zidan said just now has a point. Let the doctor check on you first"

Kemal who insisted that his feet were okay, also stood up to take back his food in Zidan's hands. But suddenly his head became very dizzy.

Kemal slowly began to lose his balance, and he fell to the ground with his eyes tight, making Zidan and his two friends scream in shock.

Seriate...
