On a Small Island With the CEO's Daughter
Episode 8: One
The sun is rising. Angga looked at the watch on his wrist. Time's approaching ten in the morning. All came back to the hunger and thirst that had momentarily been ignored due to the focus on the small conflict between them.
"We should gather to coordinate," said Angga. Without waiting for the command, all lined up to form one large circle.
"How should you lead?" ask Angga to everyone.
"Please lead." Mr. Herson first responded and represented his wife's answer.
"I also agree" said Mr. Bagas.
"Follow." Lita said briefly.
"We also agree if you're in the lead," the softness of Naya's voice represents the voice of the trio of gitilici & bestboy.
"We might not say disagree.haha," Beno's turn represents the opinion of the gatoloco trio.
All one opinion that entrust leadership in the hands of Angga. For a moment Angga was swept away in a daydream remembering the words of Mbah Restu.
Angga thought that Mr. Herson was a quiet figure. Although he is very fatherly, but on the island they do not just need a father figure, but also protective and trained. Once also Angga thought about Mr. Bagaskara, he was a protective figure who mastered martial arts. But on the other hand there is a sense of hesitation Mr. Bagas in managing important people such as Mr. Herson and Naya. It is also inappropriate if the task of the leader is given to him.
"OK then. The first thing I have to emphasize is cohesiveness and togetherness. Out there maybe we are lecturers, artists, rich people, and so on. But here I ask you all to put off the ego. Here we are one. No one can make their own decisions or leave the team without my consent or the person I appoint to represent me" Angga began his leadership with one important instruction.
"Next I ask Mr. Bagas, Beno, and also Fikri as my commander. You will take turns representing if I am not in a condition. This isn't kidding. On this island must be a lot of wild animals or humans who could be contrary to us. Today we feel like we are being reborn here as a team of jungle people. We will survive and return home at the right time" Angga's voice was loud and authoritative. A proud look emerged from Naya's eyes.
"Next what should we do boss?," asked Mr. Herson ambiguous.
"Hahaha stop, sir. Don't call the boss. As usual, sir. Only rules should follow me." welcome Angga chuckled. Everyone was laughing.
"One sword I will carry, the other sword will be carried by Beno. Fikri and Pak Bagas will each carry weapons in the form of daggers. I left one gun to Naya as a means of self-protection. But my message, especially the gun should not be used carelessly. In addition to illegal, the contents are limited and only used for precarious conditions." said Angga distributed weapons booty.
"Today we will hunt, find edible plants, cook, and make wooden huts. I will split the task," continued Angga.
"I, Beno, Naya will hunt. Mr. Bagas, Jaka, and Sisi were in charge of finding twigs for fireplace purposes. Rena, Fikri, looking for wild plants. Mr. Herson, Ms. Mayang, and also Kak Lita clean the area for us to rest and cook. While we try to be full first. After that we're just thinking about making a place to live." Angga split the tasks for several teams.
"Pak Bagas certainly still quite mastered martial arts, right?" tanya Angga. Because all the skills are needed.
"Of course, Mas. Despite this age, I am still diligent in practicing and maintaining my skills. Unfortunately Lita did not inherit the slightest bit of my expertise hehe," Mr. Bagas smiled brightly. He was happy to be involved and considered.
Angga and Beno took several long branches that felt strong enough then linked them one by one into a spear. Self-defense tools are urgently needed, and each must have them. Although it was only a wooden spear, it was much better than defending itself with bare hands.
"That is not part of the weapon, please bring this spear as a means of self-defense," said Angga handed out several sticks to each team member.
"Specifically Naya, despite having kept the gun, still used this spear because the gun could not be used at all times," Angga walked towards Naya and was greeted with a gentle smile by the campus goddess.
"good. Prepare yourself to follow the small team that I have set. Try not to walk too far from the headquarters to minimize the occurrence of danger and difficulty getting lost," Angga gave a warning to the team.
"Before I leave, may I say something important?" jaka's words stopped the steps of the team members who were preparing to leave.
"What's wrong, Kisanak?" tanya Fikri style royal style first.
"We're a great team. Right?" tanya Jaka made sure.
"Rubber" answered the others.
"Do you not feel that there is anything lacking?" ask Jaka again.
"What??" ask Rena starting to care.
"It's very important. And you ignored him?!. Duh Gusti Prince, outrageous you on!" jaka is getting serious.
"To de point, gosah bebelit lu. Just be careful if it turns out to be ngaco!!" Beno was already riled to hear the complexity created by Jaka.
"All great teams have names. Great basketball teams have names like the Chicago Bulls. Understand, right?. So I consider, our team must also have a name. And I decided after going through a deep observation. Our team name is Jagito plus." Jaka jumawa.
"Adooo. What the fuck you, semball!" snapped Beno wrathful.
"Jagito plus hahaha.." Fikri.
"Ja-taken from Jaka. Gi-taken from the team name Gitilici Naya. To-taken from the team name gatoloco Angga. And the plus is to represent the participation of Mr. Herson, Ms. Mayang, Mr. Bagaskara, and also Kak Lita. How's that cool, huh??" the light of Jaka that increasingly makes his friends strayed.
"Like you by now. Cape cave. What is important, huh?. Important from Hongkong?!" Beno frustrated. Fikri ngakak until almost pissing.
"Sontoloyo!" it is unexpected that Mr. Herson menoyor Jaka's head. It's a joke Mr. Herson is back to make it all out. Slowly one by one stripped him of his status in the real world. They become one, become friends, become a family. But there is also a change from friends to love.eaa eaa ea.
