Chapter 8 Camping

Right now, they were having a hard time with the sudden bad weather. Strong winds accompanied by very high waves made them afraid and the panel tried to help the captain. According to the previous weather forecast, today there will be no storms due to normal sea breezes. But it turns out that all of that can not be predicted at all. they are now in crisis and the ship is close to sinking. Arnette then fell and he was immediately helped by Marchell and told him to stay quiet in a safe place. After trying to survive the storm that hit them, Joe with a face that looked desperate then he tried to pull everything that was there. The storm continued until they almost died and not long after that the ship they were on was then swept away in the opposite direction because of this storm. Until the next morning, this time the sky was clear. The sun shone on them, the storm was gone. after waking up and then Marchell saw a stretch of blue sea with normal waves. He then felt relieved for a while. His other friends had also woken up and as soon as they woke up the weather was back to normal. The captain who was with them woke up and he then looked around while continuing his journey to an island called Moa. With the excitement, which had previously left them feeling on edge, everything finally returned to square one. The journey that is not far away makes them happy. Selena who then looked up at the sky herself looked so happy and a smile appeared on her face.
"Finally, there are no more storms," said Marchell
"That was so close," said Ethan
Those who were enjoying the view, soon saw an island from a distance. The dominant-looking trees made them smile widely and the ship headed towards it at normal speed. Joe then saw the island and he felt something was wrong but it was all just a hunch. They finally arrived at the island. After a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination. The island does look beautiful in green. Without lingering, they went down there and set foot on the sand again. The captain plans to stay on the ship because there are things that need to be fixed due to the storm earlier. They then traced the shoreline and left the captain there alone. Arron who had been enthusiastic from yesterday and now himself couldn't stop talking. Now they all entered the island and then came to an area that looked like a green meadow. They were immediately stunned by it and there the wind blew slowly making the atmosphere like being in heaven.
"Wow, this is amazing," said Arron
"Joe. Shall we set up camp here?” ask Marchell
"Wait a minute, we should rest," said Joe, who then himself was lying in the meadow.
"Are you sure this is Moa Island?" ask Selena
"Yes. This is the island of Moa. Didn't we really come here using a map? So it's impossible to get lost," said Arron
"Stop it. You better rest."
For the time being they rested first. It was still noon and after taking a break, they immediately started planning to set up tents in the area. The distance from the beach is quite far because before they entered a forest with lots of tall trees and it made them feel strange about this island. It's not like there's a coconut tree but just a green tree that doesn't know what it's called. They walked all the way inside and as soon as they saw a light from the front, they headed straight for it. It turned out that in front of him was a wide expanse of grass. The sight of being in the most beautiful place amazed them. By now they were almost done setting up the tent and soon, Ethan was planning to find some wood to use as fuel. Since this was indeed an island, it was impossible to find anything that could make fire other than wood. Ethan leaves with Marchell and Selena. The three of them headed north and left Joe and the others in the tent.
"Are you sure you want to go this way?" Marchell said to Ethan who was starting to feel doubtful.
"Yes. Let's just go over here."
"Hopefully there aren't any wild animals here," Marchell said, looking around warily.
"According to some sources, the island of Moa does not have a habitat for wild animals," said Selena
"Really?"
"Yes. That's what I know."
"Good. I think I can calm down.”
“Do you think Joe recommended here without any consideration? Of course there must be considerations, "said Ethan
"What you said is true."
"Oh yeah, where's the wood?"
"If you want wood, don't you just look for twigs that are already on the ground?" said Selena
"You are right. but here there is none.”
"We'll have to look further into it," Ethan said to the two of them.
The two of them then nodded and now they were tracing all the way into the forest away from the camp. Meanwhile, at the campsite. Joe along with Arron and Arnette were tidying up their quite a lot of luggage. This time Arnette tried to look at her cellphone and it turned out that her cellphone was dead because it ran out of battery power. Seeing this made him feel angry. Joe then sat on the folding chair they had brought and tried to look around. The last time he visited the island was when he was a child and he was with his uncle. Arron, feeling tired from the journey, decided to look around the meadow. He then ran and when he saw everything it turned out to be just a meadow and there were no other signs of life. without thinking, Arron lay down on the grass and looked up at the sky while feeling a sense of peace showing on his face.
"They haven't come back yet?" ask Arnette
"Not yet."
"Isn't this too long? Aren't they looking for just a tree?"
"Finding tree trunks without cutting them down is difficult."
"Are we just going to just sit here? Let's do something."
"If I were you, I'd be like that guy," said Joe, pointing at Arron who was lying on the grass.
Hearing Arron's words just now, Arnette then fell silent and while they were silent, the three of them had come with some wooden branches and tree branches. Arnette who saw them back then felt happy. While Arron was still lying on the grass casually.
"Is this enough?" Maechell asked Joe
"Enough. We're only here for a week anyway. So not too much."
“Oh yeah, how about we also move every few days? This island is quite large so won't you get bored if it's only in this area?" said Arron who came to them.
"Good idea. How are you guys?"
"Yes, we agree."
"Okay."
They are now seen gathering and singing under the beautiful sun. When they were together, Arnette then wanted to go for a walk around the island and she then took Selena. The two of them finally went for a walk around this place and it turned out that it was not only a view of the meadow, but the two of them also walked through the forest that stretched out around the place. The green atmosphere made them feel comfortable and not long after their long journey from the camp, Arnette saw a tree filled with fruit. The fruit they saw was red and then both of them took the fruit. Selena, who was wondering whether it was poisonous or not, finally witnessed Arnette eating it and nothing happened. Selena then brought some of the fruit and they returned to the campsite carrying the food on the island.
"Wow what fruit is that?" said Arron enthusiastically
"I don't know what it's called but it's delicious," said Selena
"Really? Let me try."
"Wow this is sweet. Like a mango," said Arron
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Just try it."
They finally ate the wild fruit and it didn't seem like it was getting late. Some of them tried to make firewood to use later at night. Selena who was sitting then opened some snacks in her bag. Arnette also sat relaxing watching the four of them busy making a bonfire. Time changed and now it was night. The dark sky felt cold gnawing at the body. Marchell quickly lit the bonfire and it was warm now. Under a sky where there is no moon or even stars at all. they were still breathing quietly because in front of them was a bonfire that gave both light and warmth. At the same time, Arron tries to burn the fish he and Joe had previously caught in the afternoon. Their ship was also still on the shore and then they checked the captain who was on the ship.
“Excuse me,” said Arron
"Yes?" replied Mr. Astrophe
"You don't want to join us?"
"Oh, no thanks. I still have work to fix so you guys have fun.”
"In that case, okay. Oh yeah, how about the food supplies?”
"There still is. Don't worry."
"Okay."
Arron then walked over to Joe and they both headed straight back to the campsite. Their journey to get there takes us 10 minutes. On the island behind the tall trees were green meadows and there they camped. The place is surrounded by many trees so that they feel scared when they hear the sound of the trees pressing against the wind. Until tonight they celebrate the camp party while grilling fish and relaxing.
