Gavin - Survive On The Terrible Island
Chapter 16's

" this.. tombstone ? "

a gravestone was seen as I began to clean the grass that was sealing it.

not until there, after examining my surroundings. turned out not only one but many other tombstones covered by grass.

before this old cemetery, I was stunned holding my breath and subconsciously began to swallow my saliva.

nico, who looked increasingly frightened as he looked at the creepy cemetery around him, began to bite his fingernails and try to say something with a heavy breath to me...

" b.ro.., we better get out of here "

"

" let's go, but also bring the bamboo I cut "

I started to lift the piece of bamboo on my shoulder, but when I wanted to lift the piece of bamboo, I saw nico's hand was hiding something.

" what are you hiding in your hands ? "

" no. I'm just nervous and put my hands behind my back.. "

he said while scratching his head violently.The movements are suspicious.I saw his one hand start to put something in his pocket.

but. There's no reason for me to check the pocket on his pants.it'll just show my disfigurement with him.

" this is what I'm gonna bring you ? "

his tan pointed to five pieces of yellow bamboo that were of medium size which would later be used as pointed bamboo weapons

" yes, lift up that one, while I carry this one large piece as material to make a container of water "

" good bro.. "

" and one more.., don't talk about the funeral with the others.. "

" why bro ?? "

" today we still have to rest on the hill.., I don't want them to mind and become anxious about not being able to sleep.. "

" oh. okay, bro.. "

me and Nico started to step back by carrying pieces of bamboo in our hands.

but.e., uh..,

I felt something was amiss., an unpleasant feeling started to perch in my body.

passing through the trees around, with a path.A strong wind started blowing from behind me...

this wind is so cold, making the fear in yourself increase..

" let's hurry nico.., "my word goes quickly telling nico to follow me..

" okay.. "

" wahh.., what are these yellow bamboos for ? "

rara asked to see me and the new nico to set our foot on the hill..

" ooh.., this is for drinking water containers and also some weapons "

" weapons ? "

" yes. "my answer is to slowly descend the bamboo from my shoulder and sit carelessly on the grass. "have you ever heard of the pointy bamboo weapon ra ? "

" oh. yes, weapons that were once said to be used by the Indonesian people as a means of resistance against Dutch colonialism "

" well.., that way we are able to be on guard against the attacks of wild beasts "

" but vinn..

" brak.. ! " there was a sound of bamboo falling from behind me.

nico just threw it down.

I who heard it was shocked then stood wide open my eyes looking towards nico.

" what are you doing nico ?? "

" what is bro ? " he answered with an innocent face

" why did you slam that bamboo just like that ? "

" uuh.., my arm was very sore carrying it, so I immediately threw it away so that "

" you sick bro ? "

" haa.. "I sighed in front of him. "didn't you even think that the bamboos could break.?.?. if that happened I would tell you to go back to pick them up myself ... "

" eeeh !? don't bro. geez. I'm so scared to go back to the old man..

I saw him almost slip by the mention of the funeral closing his mouth quickly using my right hand..

" mmmm !? "

" i told you. jangaan said about it to others. "I whispered in his ear quietly.

meanwhile Rara looked suspiciously at me while paying attention.she raised her hair that covered the ears with one hand

" umm. huum "he answered with a silenced mouth and nodded in agreement with my words

" yeah already.you better go take a break now nico.. "

" sure bro..? no one else I want to help you with ? "

" humm "my mumble nods my head once at her. "go away.., let me take care of the rest.."

" halah.., just say you want to be alone with the beautiful woman next to you "

rara who heard the words nico her face slowly turned red and turned her gaze the other way

" cih.. , once again saying nonsense I will pinch your head. "said me while sitting back on the grass.

" o.oke bro I'm going.. "

seeing nico walking away from us, I began to continue my conversation with Rara who had been cut off..

" so how's ra.. ? "

" what.what is vinn ? " tanya rara with a confused face while thinking of something..

" was.., I had heard you want to ask something when we talked about pointed bamboo.. ? "

" ooh. true.., I wanted to ask "rara who was originally standing not far in front of me started to approach and then sat next to me

" how did you get that sword and that dagger vinn ? "

" ooh this???, "my words cast a glance at the sword I placed beside me. "I got it after defeating some pirates .. "

" ooh yeah? they found you too vinn?. Did you not get hurt while dealing with the pirates..? how many are they.. ? and could they be using firearms ?? " tanya rara with a worried look on her face while holding my right arm with both hands.

I who heard the questions from him fell silent looking into his eyes with bated breath..

" srr.., "

I held my laughter with one hand that I put in my stomach. "hahaha.I'm sorry I really can't stand it. You look funny.. "

" iihh.., you are laughing even vinn. I am being serious you know." said Rara while pinching my stomach.

" aww. yes. yes. stop haha. it's amused "

" as you can see, I'm fine.., luckily they don't use firearms anyway.. "

" haa. thank goodness. "rara took a deep breath and then let go..

" but. ra.., if you say also..? that means you were also found by the pirates ?. oh yes.., I also haven't had time to ask you how you survived after riding the lifeboat? "

" you are serious vinn, just asking that now" Rara's gaze began to change, the look in her eyes looked so upset as she scrunched her face

" that's aah, I just found a nice atmosphere to ask that now. "while rubbing my nose I continued my words " from we met yesterday a lot of unpleasant things happened, right ? "

" humm.., it is "

" aren't you ? "

" haaa. , yes yes vinn "rara took a long breath with a face that looked soft..

" do you have a problem, Ra ? "

" no. no hehe ... "

no matter where he was keeping something from me.., but I couldn't force him. Let time alone answer my curiosity..

" oh yeah, where did it go ? humm... How did I get stranded and survive on this island huh ? "

" yeah.. "
