4 The Competent Hubbys Survival Tutorials (1/2)
After walking a few steps while admiring the beautiful lush greenery, her smartphone buzzed.
Hana smacked her own head for forgetting that Arash must be really worried about her and retreated back into the cave while sighing. Although she really wanted to look around first, she can't let her hubby worried for nothing.
She returned to the marked spot, sat down, and swiped open her trusty smartphone to check for messages. After a few minutes, messages continuously came in. Her face was illuminated with the soft light from her smartphone. She didn't dare to switch on the torchlight function for prolonged period lest it will eat up too much battery.
While waiting for the messages, she went to her sorted food stash and get herself two bananas, one pack of tausa biscuit and a bottle of water. She was super starved. After all its already 3.00 pm and she still didn't have her lunch. She only had a small bowl of oat cereal that morning.
While munching on the food, she started reading up the messages;
Papa:
These guides I made for you ayang;
1. How to start a fire with nothing and by using your spectacle
2. How to find water source from observing animals in your surroundings
3. How to make your own chisel and hatchet
4. How to make ropes and weapon from nothing
5. How to make potteries with D.I.Y. kiln
I think the potteries are a must for you honey... I don't think you have the strength to cut trees or kill beasts for food. So, you must make containers which are fire resistant and waterproof so that you can cook food in case you need to stay there for a long time.
Hana's eyes misted from her hubby's efforts to help her. He achieved so much in just two short hours as compared to her. So productive!
She was very impressed with her hubby's efficiency. One need to know that it was not as easy as copy and paste some text. Most probably, Arash must have read quite a number of articles and watch videos before constructing an easy-to-understand text tutorial for his beloved wife. A lack of diagram increased the difficulty level for understanding something that has never been explored before. So, without diagram to support the explanation, it would really give a first-time reader a hard time to imagine how it should really be done. Hence, the need to rewrite a guide to elaborate each information precisely, while describing each step more colorfully.
Truthfully, Arash did all these partly from extreme worry for his wife, and another part was truly due to love.
Arash was scared that Hana might be shivering in cold because she could not light a fire while surrounded by dangerous-looking wild animals! It was too vivid in his mind! His face lost all color when he imagined the scary scene.
Hana knew how much effort her hubby must have gone through for her. Especially while juggling with pacifying the children. She was truly thankful. As always, Arash never failed her.
Such a competent husband!
She felt ashamed with herself for being so wishy-washy. She had nearly zero progress to report.
Mama:

Papa:
