Chapter 2 DEATH

Moments left, Marvin came out of the cabin with his long polo shirt open, his voluptuous chest exposed and bulging muscles while rubbing his eyes and yawning several times. He was still a bit sleepy from the party last night. He stared at Mang Berto as if he was having difficulty standing, but soon he was almost out of balance.

"MANG BERTO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU? " Marvin caught its head as it nearly fell to the floor. He shook the man several times to his surprise Mang Berto gradually closed his eyes as blood came out of his mouth.

"MANG BERTO? GUYS HELP!" She cried out with a slight tightness of voice as if at any moment she could cry.

The crowd heard Marvin scream. They appeared one by one at the location of the engine. They found Mang Berto lying next to Marvin.

"Oh my God... AHHHH" Marielle shouted.

"What happen Marvin ???" Jonathan immediately backed up and was shocked by the incident.

"I don't know! when I arrived, I noticed that he just lost consciousness then all of a sudden, he was no longer breathing. I think he was poisoned by alcohol. " Marvin was stunned as he narrated. Only now has he experienced such a thing. It is even worse than crime.

"Oh my God! Guys the engine didn't work, " Jhun Mark whimpered while controlling the steering wheel while Alejandro was pressing the devices next to the steering wheel. Nothing still worked. He picked up the walkie-talkie and press it but there was no signal on the other line.

"Guys, I think we are trapped. " Jhun Mark's voice trembled.

"What? we are close to the island and it is only a matter of time. I can already see the mountains and the island. " May said while looking through the binoculars at what he could see in the distance.

"Oh my God. Mang Berto!" Dianne was crying as well as Marielle.

"Oh my I can't believe this, " Alejandro came out of the cabin cruiser when someone saw him in the distance and he waved as if asking for help.

"So what are you doing?" Jhun Mark asked but when he noticed a small boat coming he suddenly shouted.

"HELP! HELP!" he waved too.

There are fishermen nearby on a small boat. The sun was shining brightly and it was difficult to catch fish but from a distance, they noticed a cabin cruiser laden with young people waving and asking for help so they hurriedly paddled towards it.

"The engine of our cabin cruiser was damaged so we couldn't get out of here again, our driver died for an unknown reason. Maybe we can ask for help? " Marvin's polite narration to the two fishermen.

"Are you tourists?" one of the fishermen asks.

The young people agreed.

"Can you take us to Paradise Island as well as our dead comrade?" Alejandro ask.

"Oh okay," the fishermen said. He looks kind.

"Thank you " they replied at the same time.

Two fishermen crossed the youths in their boat. They took two passengers each. They went first: Marvin and Alejandro. The island is only about two kilometers away. It is easy to get to all of them.

The corpse was followed by Jhun Mark, followed by: May and Marielle and the last delivered were: Jonathan and Dianne at the same time their equipment.

The boat almost ran aground on the sand at those moments, because the low tide was approaching and the sun was scorching. The resort is also a few minutes away from where the fisherman brought them. Jonathan paid the two fishermen they did not accept the money instead Jonathan thanked them all before saying goodbye.

"It's nice here." Alexander marveled at the charm of the island. The sands shone with super whiteness that was mistaken for grains of salts. The sea is blue, very clear you can almost see clams and starfish on the sharp and gigantic rocks and also small fish hiding in the depths.

"This is like we are in a paradise...." Jhun Mark smiled as he rolled his eyes. He cannot believe the mystery of the beauty caused by the island.

"Have you already gone to paradise? Hehe," Jonathan asked while the body of Mang Berto's assistant Alejandro was removed.

"I thought you were going to hell," Marvin replied.

"SHUT UP." from that moment Jhun Mark punched Marvin on the head and burst out laughing.

"It's so hot. I'm so thirsty right now," May complained while lifting her bag and wearing the expensive shade.

They all continued to walk and their soles were almost white even though they were all wearing slippers. But May still could not be stopped from speaking.

"If Mang Berto wasn't stupid and we felt sorry for his death, we wouldn't be like this. How far is that naughty island? " Her words are beyond the limit, although some are true, they still shouldn't come from a woman like him.

At that point, Jonathan's head heated up completely.

"Damn !! You even brought a feeble-minded woman." Jonathan whispered to himself but Marvin didn't miss it. He heard it clearly and said it completely.

"What did you say, man?" he asked Jonathan.

"Nothing!"

"I heard you." Marvin stopped walking and rushed at Jonathan.

"Nothing. I said: YOU STILL HAVE A FEEBLE-MINDED DATE. DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE THE WOMAN YOU WANT TO BRING HUH? " Jonathan's mouth was already burning with anger and his eyes were almost narrowed at the stare at Marvin.

"Next time Marvin, choose the woman you will proudly present to your friends and make my sister proud of your decision. Do not pick a cheap and feeble-minded woman. Please tell me you don't have a bad taste in women. "

"What did you say?" Marvin grabbed Jonathan's polo collar and was about to punch it in the face.

Jonathan let go of the corpse and Alejandro almost lay down on the sand.

"Whoa, stop it guys. " Jhun Mark grabbed Marvin's waistband and pulled him away from Jonathan for a moment even though the young man was struggling with his grip. Afterward, the two men are still silent and keep staring at each other. But Dianne had already intervened, she stopped in front of Jonathan.

"Brother, Marvin is right. Please let's not fight anymore." She spoke harshly to show the weaning of the two of them.

Marvin is taller than Jonathan. His physique is muscular so he was immediately included in the university baseball team, his appearance does not deviate from the brown Filipino worries mixed with far-Indonesian. Marvin is not talkative and he is also a leader in his blood but since he and Dianne separated, it seems as if everything has changed, he has become hot-headed and sad. Jonathan, on the other hand, is in the form of a typical Filipino, white but his skin color is only moderate compared to the mestizos. so he is a member of the swimming team at the same university they attend.

"Right, silence your judgmental brother. " May's mouth was full of recklessness.

Dianne turned to May and spoke.

"If you keep your mouth shut and you just walk. Give some good treatment to other people, and have respect for Mang Berto's corpse. He is not the one to be blamed for the accident, he just did his job. "

At that point they were silent for a moment, Jonathan lifted the corpse again Alejandro without even looking at Marvin. May also started walking again, ignoring the litany of Dianne's words, she just seemed to be talking to the air and she felt that what she was saying was meaningless, this is Marvin's ex-girlfriend and she will be his partner. Dianne was drawn to the young man's attention even though they no longer have a relationship.

Until now Marvin still does not enter into a serious relationship, he remains single even though he and May have dated and the girl feels that there is still love left for Dianne. Something she really can't accept, she loves Marvin so much and she will do everything for him to win his heart whatever it takes.

The sun was so hot, everyone was feeling thirsty and hungry as they walked along the sand toward the resort. The men's polo shirts and shirts were soaking wet, Marvin and Jhun Mark couldn't stand the extreme heat and sweat running down their bodies, they took off their polo shirts.

Suddenly, the mouths of Dianne and May closed as the two young men looked up. They bit their lips when they looked at what was in front of them. Body, heaven. They can still clearly see how the granular sweat flows from the senses down to the seemingly molded abs that any woman can handle will darken their eyesight.
