Chapter 1 - Stranded on an Island
Kenzo Alessio slowly opened his eyelids, waking up. His head was throbbing with pain and aching. He massaged his head slowly until the pain disappeared on its own.
"Where am I now?" asked Kenzo, looking confused. He looked down and saw grains of sand and seawater that greeted the soles of his bare feet.
"Is this the beach?" said Kenzo.
Suddenly, the memory of the previous incident swirled in his head. He remembered that he was on an airplane with his coworkers. There were fifty of his coworkers. They were planning to take a vacation trip to Hawaii as a gift from the managing director for achieving more than the target sales of goods. But the plan unfortunately did not go smoothly. On the way, the plane's engine suddenly had a problem, causing the plane to fly uncontrollably in the sky. The pilot and flight attendants on duty tried to get the plane to land on the emergency runway, but unfortunately, their efforts failed. The airplane engine remained uncontrollable, and eventually the airplane glided freely in an uncertain direction. At that time, the passengers, pilots, and flight attendants were resigned and could only hope for a miracle.
"Thank God for giving me the chance to survive that terrible event." Kenzo looked at his complete body and looked fine, although there were a few abrasions, but it didn't matter.
Kenzo thought of his coworkers. "I have to find out and check if any of my coworkers survived."
Kenzo looked around him. He noticed that there was someone stranded. The man walked over to the helpless, stranded person. "Thank goodness there are still survivors."
After walking closely, Kenzo realized that the person was a woman. She was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt that was torn in several places and black pants that were soaking wet. Her skin was pale white, probably from soaking in the sea for too long. Despite her disheveled and messy condition, he could tell at a glance that she had an ideal and well-proportioned body. She had long black hair.
Suddenly, the woman groaned in pain. Kenzo seemed to have heard that sound before. In a hurry, he turned the woman's body over. The woman was Rialta Benvolio. Rialta Benvolio was the CEO's secretary. Rialta was a beautiful and charming girl who was favored by many men in the Jaya Makmur company where she worked. She was the one who suggested to the company director to take a trip to the city of Hawaii as an appreciation for the sales achievement. If only Rialta had not suggested to the managing director for the trip, this bad incident would not have happened. There was a feeling of resentment at the thought. If they hadn't gone on vacation, Kenzo would be in the office working right now.
Kenzo let out a long sigh. "Never mind, it's already happened. And time cannot be repeated."
Kenzo crouched down. His hand patted Rialta's cheek several times, but there was no response. He remembered CPR. He placed his hand on Rialta's chest and performed CPR. After several rounds of CPR, Rialta regained consciousness and opened her eyes. Rialta's eyes looked confused and scared.
"Rialta, don't think carelessly! I just want to.... " Before Kenzo could finish his sentence, there was a kick to his stomach. Kenzo held his stomach, which felt a little painful.
"You perverted, man! What did you do to my body?" asked Rialta, annoyed and angry at Kenzo.
"You helped me instead of thanking me and accusing me." Kenzo stood up, turned around, and left Rialta alone.
Slowly but surely, the sunlight disappeared and was replaced by moonlight. The temperature dropped even further. Kenzo shivered from the cold as a gust of wind hit his body. His stomach rumbled with hunger. Naturally, he last ate this morning before the plane left. As Kenzo had expected, there were many shells hiding on the beach. Having often joined his father in searching for shells and sea animals as a child, Kenzo easily found the hiding places of sea animals such as shells. In a short time, he had collected a lot of shells. Enough to fill his hungry stomach.
Kenzo smiled as his hand found a pocket lighter in his pants pocket. Fortunately, the lighter hadn't drifted into the sea during his free fall from the plane. He picked up some dry twigs that were around and made a bonfire.
The sound of the fire eating the wood was audible to the senses. A warm feeling began to creep into Kenzo's body. At the same time, he took off his red long-sleeved shirt to dry using the twigs. The shells that he got, he cleaned first, then burned on the fire. It didn't take long for the clams to be cooked. The man eagerly ate the shells from his hunt. Coconut water is used instead of water.
The night air was getting colder, and the sky began to drizzle. With quick movements, Kenzo got up to find some leaves and made a makeshift shelter. Although simple, the shelter was enough to protect the campfire he had built from going out and a place to rest.
"Right now I'm like a homeless person, with no place to stay," he said as he sat looking at the campfire.
"But I am still lucky that on this island there is plenty of food for me to eat."
Suddenly, Rialta's scream broke the silence. Kenzo looked around for the source of the sound and saw Rialta hobbling around, her leg apparently injured. A split second later, Rialta fell unsteadily to the ground. The girl tried to get up. The young girl's appearance looked disheveled.
"Kenzo, what kind of man are you? Come here and help me up," Rialta shouted angrily.
"When I saved you earlier. You accused me of doing something bad for you. So, try to stand up by yourself. I don't want to be accused of anything."
"You really have no conscience!" Rialta's eyes turned red, as if she wanted to cry. Her body soaked and covered in sand, she looked very pitiful. Rialta was very different when she was in the office. In the office, Rialta always looked beautiful and fashionable.
Kenzo let out a long sigh when he saw the tears running down Rialta's cheeks. He rose from a sitting position to a standing position, walked in the rain, then helped Rialta by putting Rialta's arm on his shoulder and wrapping an arm around Rialta's waist. With slow movements, Kenzo helped Rialta stand back up from the ground.
"Do not think about it!" warned Rialta. Even though she was the one who needed Kenzo's help, it seemed as if Kenzo had done something harmful to Rialta.
Rialta walked quickly under the rain. Suddenly, the girl almost fell backwards due to the slippery sandy ground. With a quick movement, Kenzo caught Rialta's body bridal style. Kenzo's big hands accidentally touched Rialta's twin mountains, and he could feel the soft and supple nuggets. She froze for a moment.
Instantly, Rialta glared at Kenzo. "I told you not to do anything! You pervert!" she screamed, turned around, and Kenzo's cheeks became the target of Rialta's slap.
