I'll Wait

The men who patrolled closer to the cliff under the order to disperse in the area, heard Jia's cry for help. They could not see them from afar due to the thick foliage of the creek's

vegetation and to the messy tangles of the Dakit Tree vines hovering above the waters.

Yet, thanks to these vines. These were the tools that made the kids survive. If it were not for these wild, lush strands which offered as their life support to cling on, they would have been tossed miserably into the raging water flow.

Two men, tied with a rope, leapt into the waters to save each of them. The moment they were placed on a safe place, someone covered each of them with warm jackets until their chills subsided. Then, a group of medics came in and checked them. They found out that Koko sustained a bad and deep laceration in his back while Jia got only bruises and abrasions. It bled profusely and weakened him down.
