On a Small Island With the CEO's Daughter
Episode 43: Heart hook

Sukma and his troops stayed in the forest area near the waterfall for a week to ensure and accompany the recovery of Jaka and Lita.

Healing has entered day 5. Jaka and Lita have been seen recovering when viewed from outside the body. Only the internal organs are left healing due to the poison that gnaws. But it is also nearing the final stage. They only need 1 to 2 more days to be completely recovered.

"The condition has improved, just waiting to recover 100%," Sukma told team members.

"Thank God. Thank you very much for the help," replied Mr. Bagas representing the others.

"I should be grateful for being well received. Our previous actions were very embarrassing," Sukma looked unkind.

"This is the road we have to go through. All work to reach a certain point. There's nothing to regret. That's the twists of life. The important thing is that we can get better in the future" said Mr. Herson.

Although heavy left forever by Mayang, but Mr. Herson tried to be steadfast and understand all that has happened. He did not feel vengeance for Sukma, because everything was arranged by God. Sukma troops are only intermediaries for Mayang to go to the next realm. Moreover, seeing the sincerity of Sukma apologizing, it is not feasible to spill all the blame on him.

POV Naya's

Beautiful morning, bright morning. The sound of birds. The wind softly brushed my hair.

Angga and I were walking together in the woods near the waterfall hut. Just for a walk, a breath of fresh air, while picking up some wild plants to cook.

Until now, I was so comfortable living on a small island with Angga. Never imagined if there were no Angga in the lifeboat that night, maybe all would not be able to survive so far.

In all togetherness of the team, has grown a variety of conformity. It's like they all need each other. Like Pak Bagas and Angga who always need each other to work together as the spearhead of the team in every battle.

Like Jaka who always needs Beno as a tandem to enliven the team. None of them maybe the team will be sad and lonely.

We also need the figure of Mr. Herson who plays as a father figure. The death of Bu Mayang as a mother figure really makes us like losing some limbs.

The figure of Mbak Lita who is an expert in cooking is very much needed. How good he is at fighting. What a woman full of knowledge and experience.

How Beno and Angga who need Fikri as a match for the gatoloco team. And how blind Rena is to the figure of Fikri, hehe. I understand the relationship between the two is getting stronger.

All are interconnected, need each other, complement each other. Somehow my fate is pursued by criminals if there are no Angga and friends.

And so do I. I don't just have a huge dependency on Angga. But I feel there is a heart hook that is linked in such a way, so it is difficult to separate. Yeah right, I admit I've been crushed by bin lumer at last. After a college trip to near the end of graduation, I just found the man I needed all along. Angga is too perfect in my eyes.

Actually I also observed how the attention of Mbak Lita to Angga. However, I feel salute to what Lita did. He has a high tepo sliro. There are no follow-up terms on the campus. He greatly appreciated my position towards Angga. Even lately I saw him slowly distancing his attention towards Angga and instead began to docked into the harbor of Beno's heart. Ma'am Lita is a good woman, I love her. He was like a brother to me.

"Don't go too far into the woods. I'm afraid of something like meeting Gino" I told Angga.

"Haha just calm down. The inside is safe, there are Sukma's army camped there, "reply Angga who I think has a point.

'We climbed to the top of the waterfall. So far we have never been there," I bargained with Angga who was immediately answered a nod of the head by the man of the universe my version.

We found an uphill path beside the slope of the waterfall. The road is not wide. Only as wide as two adult human bodies were standing in a row. The road is also like a ladder. Maybe previous survivors could make it as a track.

The path is circular shape wrapped around the waterfall hill. Not too long, maybe only about 50 to 100 meters to reach the top. It only takes 10 minutes to get through.

"Wahh beautiful.." I cried in amazement when I saw the fresh grass at the top of the hill.

It's not really a hilltop. Next to it was another higher and larger hill. The water flowed from the big hill towards the small hill like a winding river. Until then it ends up on the edge of a small hill that forms a steep wall that makes the flow of water just fall down as a waterfall.

On top of a small hill I saw a waterfall hut down there. About 30 meters of the height of the hill, with a flat top and not too wide. Probably only 100 square meters of its peak area.

"I think it's a good place, but not comfortable for our own mobility. Up and down the cliff is quite draining, although quite sloping.." a little I refute Angga's speech.

"You're right too. Maybe to stay comfortable. But for those of us who are often pacing around looking for this-that, need this-that, seems less appropriate.but, briefly. I got an idea," greeted Angga, but with a hanging sentence.

"What idea, Ngga?" I asked gently what Angga said.

Angga apparently did not continue his sentence. Rushing he put his sword to cut some medium-sized wood, also taking out some vines. There was a question mark in my mind seeing his sudden and mysterious activity.

"I'll make a lookout post. Well.post to monitor the area around the waterfall hut. From here we can be free to look far up to hundreds of meters ahead. With this we no longer need to be busy patrolling. Just simply set the schedule of the guard turn. And I think, in a high, flat, and not too wide place like this, of course, wild animals will not appear. Except maybe a snake or some other slithering animal," I admit that Angga is smart enough to manage every strategy.

- I never stopped amazed from the beginning of this island every brilliant ideas emerged from his brain.

Without asking much more, I immediately helped the athletic handsome man finish his post. It only takes an hour to complete a mini post that only fits two to three people.

Letting go of tired we sat together in the guard post while enjoying the drinking water I had brought.

"Ish.why look at it so much anyway. Another man drank.." I was spoiled when I saw his eyes not blinking.

"You.ehmm drink aja saucy. Especially if you do not drink hehe," Angga seduction makes you immediately blush your cheeks because of embarrassment.

"Mukiyo!!" my weak fist hit his shoulder slowly.

But on the second blow, quickly Angga caught my wrist. For a moment we were silent together in the silence of conscience waiting for each other.

"Nay, i.me,"

"I love u. Will you tie your heart to me and prepare to be my future wife?" Angga turned his body towards me with my hand still in his grasp.

Kudu feathers instantly brushed. Excitement, haru, shock mixed into one. I didn't expect him to reveal it at this time. I still think that he might express his feelings when he gets home. Actually, every time I wish and wait for moments like this to come.

"Ehmm.aa.a.." My tongue is twisted. Not a single word has been successfully said.

I could only nod to answer Angga's words. But the nod was enough to make Angga understand what I mean. Instantly he took off his hand and hugged.

I cried in his arms. I saw the corner of Angga's eyes also shed happy tears.
