Conclusion

The Adventure of 4 has finally come to an end. I and my friends had lots of fun creating this story. Each of us writing each chapter. It's a story where all of our creative minds came together. Our form teacher accidently saw us looking at the book. She asked whether she could look at the book. With no choice, we gave her the book praying she wouldn't read chapter 2 onwards as the guys names were inside. Thank god, she didnt. She had just flipped through. She praised us and told our class about our book. We felt happy...but then our classmates all started asking to see our book. Overall, it was a great experience for us. Now we are in different classes and we do not know if we would ever continue writing the book. But we hope whoever who has read this story through this blog or through the book had enjoyed it.

PS: By the way, if you are confused by the word 'book'. It's not a book where we had published and put in the library. It's just we stapeld A4 papers together. And i drew the pictures at the front inside and out and coloured it. You can see the cover of the book at the bottomost part of this page. Sorry if it's blur.

Chapter 6: The Ending

The atmosphere was crowded, busy and packed. It was Changi Hospital. People were running around like crazy trying to get everything in order. Firdaus, Nisa and Nadera waited anxiously with Baihakki and Zahira. Finally, the doctor came out. The three stood up so fast that the doctor got shocked. "Woah! Don't worry! Deborah is fine. Legolas is now having a blood transfusion (Nisa gasped). But that is nothing to worry about. It is just giving blood to him as he has lost so much...". Nisa started walking towards the room Legolas was in and went in. The doctor looked puzzled, but continued. "Vikram, however, is going through a surgery (Nadera's eyes opened wide) because we found poison in his wound which must have been on the knife. It's a green substance called 'graseles' (Nadera broke down and sat on the chair, crying) and we are now cleaning his blood"...he looked at Nadera straight into her eyes and said,"Don't worry. he will be just fine". At that moment, a nurse came out from the room Legolas was in and whispered something to the doctor. The doctor smiled and said to Nadera,"Will you follow me?". Nadera obeyed and followed the doctor. So now, Baihakki and Zahira were all alone, as Firdaus had gone to see Deborah. Then suddenly, Zahira started crying.

"What's wrong?" Baihakki asked. "I'm so glad that we are all alright", Zahira replied. "Tears of joy huh?", Firdaus said, walking towards them with Deborah in his arms. While waiting for the rest, Firdaus said to Deborah,"Thanks for saving me. I did not think you would actually come for me. You even brought my friends (also known as boyfriends)". "Ofcourse i would come! I would do anything for you. But i didn't expect it to be Ghazali. I thought he didn't like me...haha, but we got a big surprise!", Deborah replied. Soon, Nisa and Nadera walked towards them with Vikram and Legolas. Nisa and Nadera were looking very happy. "Why are you smiling so cheekly?", Zahira asked. Nadera looked quite weak and tired so Nisa replied,"Well, as both were needing blood, we decided to donate ours to them. So now, Legolas has my blood and Vikram has Nadera's. Nadera looks weak as Vikram needed more blood.". Then, all of them went out together. They couldn't wait to talk to Ghazali about it when they all went back to school. Each couple had a stronger relationship now. "Your experience in these things helped us also Legolas", Deborah commented. Legolas smiled. Nisa was very proud of him. Everyone was proud and greatful for each other.

Finally, the day came when all their parents returned from KL. The whole gang were at Firdaus' house watching a movie. The doorbell rang and Firdaus answered it. "Oh hi mum and dad! How was your trip?". They told all of them about their trip; the things they saw, the food they ate, the places they went to and other details. "What did you all do for the holidays?" they asked them. They were all stunned. "Watch TV and simple stuff", Firdaus replied quickly. This wasn't true, but they decided to keep it a secret. It was something that would be kept between the eight of them. This was an adventure none of them would ever forget. "What are those injuries??!!", they exclaimed, pointing to Legolas and Vikram. "Soccer", Firdaus replied quickly again. "So rough!" they commented and went into the kitchen. They were all so relieved. Just then, Zahira got an sms. It said,"Help!HELP!!! I've been captured! They are going to toture me! Come quickly to Naboo, Tatooine Desert". They all sat there, shocked. It was from their classmate, Shafiq. Then, they all grinned at each other, with a cheeky smile. "Why bother?", they said in unison. He was a naughty boy anymore. BUT, will they? Well, the truth lies in them. If they would save him, then YOU must wait for the next edition of The Adventure of 4. Till then, we wish the gang happy holidays!!

Chapter 5: The Escape!

When they woke up, they found themselves blinded to ropes. “Oh dear! The have tied us up!” Deborah cried out. Each girl was tied up next to their own boyfriends. Nadera started to think of a way to escape and an idea struck her. “Knife…” she mumbled. “What is it, Nadera?” Vikram asked who was tied up next to her. “Your small knife! We could use it to cut the rope!” she exclaimed. “I can’t reach it. Take it for me. Cut your rope and pass it to the others” Vikram said. So, Nadera took it out from his back pocket (Zahira smirked) and cut herself free. “Remember to cut in a way that the rope still looks like it is still tied to us”. As Vikram, the last person, cut his ropes, everyone was freed. But suddenly, they heard footsteps. They saw the shadow of a person and soon, Senthil appeared round the corner. “Oh! What a wonderful sight! Couples wearing the same clothes…But there is a wrong couple!” Senthil exclaimed and he pointed to Deborah and Firdaus. “Ghazali wants to see you. So I shall leave you all here alone with him”, he said and turned his back to walk away. Suddenly, Vikram took his knife and grabbed Senthil from behind and placed his knife under Senthil’s throat. “Scream and I will kill you!” Vikram warned. “Fine, I won’t scream” Senthil replied too simply. Vikram turned towards Nadera and said,” Nadera, bring my rope to me”. But she didn’t as at that moment, Senthil was reaching into his pocket and taking out a … “Vikram watch out!” both Nadera and Legolas cried out, who had noticed what Senthil was doing. But it was too late. Senthil had taken out his knife which had a green substance on the blade. He waved it at Vikram.

In pain, Vikram’s knife flew out of his hand and flew toward Legolas. The knife scratched Legola’s leg and he stumbled to the ground. Blood started to drip out. Vikram fell to the ground, with a deep long gash at his arm and blood spilling out… “HOW DARE YOU!!” both Nadera and Nisa screamed. They ran toward Senthil with rage and knocked him to the ground with such force that he was knocked out. Zahira quickly took her rope and helped tie him up. Together, Baihakki, Firdaus and Deborah tied a cloth on his mouth so he would not be able to speak when he has regained his conscious. They rolled him into a corner where he remained hidden. Legolas managed to stand back onto his feet. As Legolas was experienced with the outdoors, his hearing was also very good. Even with all the commotion, he could hear footsteps of someone coming. “Someone’s coming!” Legolas informed. They quickly got back to their positions, still pretending they were still tied up. Nisa and Deborah helped Legolas and Nadera and Baihakki helped Vikram. Zahira quickly grabbed a spare rope as she had used her rope to tie up Senthil. “Hello my fellow friends and enemies!” Ghazali greeted them as he appeared round the corner. “I need answers Ghazali! Deborah cried out, as firstly, she didn’t want Ghazali to look at Vikram’s and Legolas’s injuries to figure out something had happened and secondly, she wanted to know what really made Ghazali want to kidnap Firdaus. The rest prayed hard that Ghazali would not look down at the blood stained floor and Firdaus bowed his head down, feeling a bit of guilt that all this trouble and Vikram and Legolas getting hurt was all because of him. “Okay my love, anything for you” Ghazali replied and continued.

“The first time I saw you…I tried winning your heart…but no! I was not good enough for you! Firdaus was! Seeing you and him together laughing and smiling…I was so angry! So, I had no choice but to kill him because you did not want to let him go! But you had come to rescue him! And…” he started talking to himself, unaware of his surroundings, as he expressed his deep feelings. All of them, except Deborah, started to lose interest in him. Nadera and Vikram were holding hands and had their heads against each other, their eyes closed. It was very tiring for Vikram. He had lost quite a lot of blood and was starting to feel weak. But Nadera could not rest. There was noise coming next to Vikram. She opened her eyes and saw Baihakki and Zahira talking to each other. Everything came back to her. “How could I sleep at this moment!” she scolded herself and with great resistance, seeing Vikram so peacefully asleep, woke him up to reality and pain. Baihakki turned to Nadera and Vikram and winked at them. He mouthed what looked like a plan. Nadera smiled. ‘Good, they have a plan!’ Nadera passed the message and soon everyone was alert once more, including Deborah. Ghazali was still lost in his own words. Baihakki started creeping behind Ghazali. Deciding to help him, Nadera started to follow when suddenly, Ghazali turned around so fast that Nadera had no time to run back. Baihakki skillfully, must be a skill he learned in Soccer, moved to stand behind Ghazali “So, you got out of your rope!” he said, thank god, not looking at the place Baihakki was tied up which was thankfully, at a far corner under the shadows. Nadera wanting to distract him replied, “Yup! Senthil doesn’t know how to tie knots properly! Why do you have such useless unskillful people as your apprentice?” she replied cheekily. Behind Ghazali, Baihakki was trying to grab Ghazali’s arm so he could pin him down but was unsuccessful.

Suddenly Nadera heard a swift ‘whoosh’ noise behind her and an arrow flew just inches to Ghazali’s head. “What the hell?!” Ghazali cried out and he pushed Nadera away to grab Legolas. “Bend down!” Baihakki cried out to Nadera and he grabbed Ghazali’s arms. They both toppled to the floor. All of them jumped onto Ghazali to prevent him from running away accept Legolas and Vikram who were injured and just collapsed onto the ground. Deborah grabbed her rope and passed it to the others so they could tie him up. When doing so, they heard Deborah shout and heard her fall to the ground. They turned to look. Senthil had regained conscious and had managed to grab a rock with his foot and fling it to Deborah’s head very hard. Deborah lay on the ground unconscious. Luckily, she wasn’t bleeding so it was not a serious head injury. But still, Firdaus was furious. “No!!” he cried out and grabbed the rock and knocked it on Senthil’s head double hard. Senthil fell to the ground and was once again, unconscious. Firdaus then knocked Ghazali unconscious. “This is for trying to separate us” he said. He dropped the rock and ran to sit next to Deborah, trying to wake her up. “It will be no use,” Vikram said. “We must get her out of here and find water” Legolas advised. Nadera and Nisa turned around and stared at their own boyfriend’s wounds. How weak and pitiful they looked. Vikram’s leg had swollen and he looked very weak. “Come on. The faster we get out of here, the better. Then we can call the ambulance. Deborah also needs a check up to make sure she’s really all right.” Baihakki consoled. With tears swimming in their eyes, Nisa and Nadera nodded. They supported their boyfriends (Zahira helped support Legolas and Baihakki helped support Vikram). Firdaus easily lifted Deborah into his arms. Together, they made their way out of the cave. The sun shone brightly outside which blinded their eyes. Soon, they got used to the brightness. They took a ferry back to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. The officers there helped to call the ambulance and provided them with mineral water bottles. With his, Firdaus sprinkled water on Deborah’s face and gave the rest to Nisa and Nadera to wash Vikram’s and Legolas’s wounds. “Huh…what…” Deborah mumbled. “You fainted, that’s all. We are now at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal” Firdaus replied softly, stroking her hair. Their faces moved closer and closer… Oi! This is a public place!” Baihakki cried out and the rest of the girls giggled. The ambulance arrived. “We will follow you to the hospital” said Baihakki and Zahira. “Oh. Thank you!” the rest replied with gratefulness. All of them climbed into the ambulance, Vikram and Legolas in stretches, and it made its way to Changi Hospital (believed to be the nearest hospital to Tanah Merah).

Chapter 4: Missed!!

“Ring!!!” the alarm clock rang. The Sun was shining brightly. It was 9.00am. Deborah woke up and got ready to save her darling Firdaus. She met up with the others at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. When she arrived, the other 3 were talking with their boyfriends. “Hi Deborah!” they greeted. Deborah looked very eager to save Firdaus. She was happy that everything had gone according to plan.

When they arrived at Northern Islands, they walked towards the Dark Cave and entered. Nisa was holding Legolas’s hand so tightly while the others walked calmly into the cave. She was frightened because the cave was so dark even though the Sun was bright outside. Legolas tried to comfort her. “Look at them, so romantic! Haha…” Zahira said to Baihakki. “Why? Jealous?” Nadera teased Zahira. They stopped their jokes as Nisa was staring at them. “Firdaus!” Deborah cried out when she saw him. Firdaus turned and smiled. Vikram took his knife and cut the rope which was tied to him. “Let’s get out of here, quick!” Legolas said. The kidnapper was no where in sight. “Maybe he is with the boss?” Nisa suggested. “Firdaus, do you know who kidnapped you?” Baihakki asked. They started walking out of the cave. “No, hmm…but maybe it was one of our girlfriend’s enemy…” Firdaus said. They were all thinking who the person might be. Who would kidnap a lovely, caring, kind man like Firdaus. He is a really very nice guy. What does the person want with him? Who could be the master mind of this? The Boss? Who is he?

“AHHH!!! Cockroach!” Zahira shouted. She quickly held Baihakki’s hand tightly. “Shh!!” Baihakki silenced her. “Keep quiet! What if they heard us?!” Nadera said angrily. “I am so sorry. You guys know I am very afraid of cockroaches’ right? I am really sorry. I did not mean to shout aloud” Zahira apologized. “Next time, hug him when frightened…” Deborah teased. Suddenly, before they realized it, two men stood inform of them. Vikram shined his torchlight onto their faces. “Oh my! It is you! It’s really you!” Deborah cried. We were all puzzled and speechless. The two men were Ghazali and Senthil. From the looks of it, Ghazali was the boss and Senthil was the helper. Then, everything started to come together. Ghazali was jealous of Firdaus, so he asked Senthil to help him kidnap Firdaus. “Yes! It’s me! So what??!!” Ghazali said arrogantly. But then, all of them felt a knock on their heads and all of them fainted. What will happen next? Will Firdaus be saved? Will they get out of the Dark Cave alive and in time? Keep on reading!

Chapter 3: The Rescue

Lucky enough, the other 3 agreed. Deborah was very happy. But Nadera, being the smart one, was a little unsure. “I am not sure if we can make it. What if we get caught? What if our parents find out? If Deborah’s parents find out about her boyfriend, what will they do? Did you all ever thought of that?” asked Nadera. After giving it some taught, the 3 girls began to see it her way. “Forget it! If you do not want to see my boyfriend, Firdaus, then don’t come! I will get some other people to help me; like Firdau’s friends! Vikram, Baihakki, oh ya! And Legolas too!” said Deborah. She started crying. “Don’t cry! Anyway, if they are coming, we are definitely going too!” cried out the 3, thinking of them. “Wah, Legolas…so handsome! I Love Legolas!” exclaimed Nisa. Zahira frowned at Nisa. The 3 started to think how it would be like to find out that their boyfriends had been kidnapped. They started to feel sorry for Deborah, so they decided to help. It was set. They planned out the details and decided to go to the Dark Cave tomorrow morning. They said goodbye to each other and left. No one could sleep that night as they were all excited. Deborah was excited because she was going to see Firdaus. Nadera was excited because of Vikram, Nisa for Legolas and Zahira for baihakki. They eventually went to sleep with sweet dreams of their boyfriends.


“Ring!” the alarm clock rang. Deborah woke up bright and early. She looked at her clock. It showed 7.30 on its face. She got out from bed and packed her stuff. She then sms Zahira, Nisa and Nadera to see if they were awake. They were awake! So, bringing the food and medical kit (just in case) for Firdaus, she left her house. She met them at Tanah Merah ferry terminal and from there; they took a ferry to northern Islands. They stood outside the Dark Cave, looking at it in horror. It looked so dark and creepy even with the Sun shining brightly. “Are you sure you want to go inside?” asked Nadera, who looked like she was about to cry. “Are you kidding me? Of course we have to! Firdaus is inside all by himself! My poor darling! We have to go inside now!” cried Deborah. “Okay,” said Nadera, trying to gather up some courage. So slowly, they took, step by step, into the cave. Zahira took out her torchlight and led the way. It was the first time she was brave enough to do something like this. After walking for a while, Deborah bumped into something. Zahira immediately shined her torchlight in her direction. “It’s Firdaus!!” “No, it’s not Deborah! It’s the guys. You made it!” said Nisa. So they split into groups and continued the search for him. After what seemed like hours, Nisa and Deborah found him. Nisa called and informed the others to meet outside the cave. She and Deborah gave some food to Firdaus and treated his wounds. Deborah was delighted to see Firdaus still alive. She told Firdaus their plan of coming back tomorrow to rescue him. Suddenly, they heard footsteps. Nisa and Deborah ran to hide behind a boulder.

It was the kidnapper, with tattoos on his arms, scars on his face. He looked so scary and mean from behind that they were taken aback. After he whispered some words to Firdaus, he left. Nisa and Deborah went back to Firdaus and asked what the kidnapper had said. “He said, by tomorrow, at 7pm, I’ll be toast for dinner!: he replied. Nisa and Deborah were frightened. They packed their stuff to get ready to leave, but ready to come back tomorrow, bright and early. So, they said goodbye and left. After a few minutes, as they knew their way, they met up with the rest and were on their way. Nisa and Deborah then told them what happened with Firdaus and told them about the kidnapper. “The kidnapper did look quite familiar…” Nisa said. Once they all reached home, they were thinking about what had happened. The one question on everyone’s mind was, ‘will new be able to save Firdaus?’ .They were all unsure. But today’s adventure had made them so tired and exhausted that they went to sleep the moment their heads touched the pillows, without eating. But they were ready for the action tomorrow. The day Deborah’s darling, Firdaus would be saved.

Chapter 2: The Planning


The 4 were waiting anxiously for the ‘end of school’ bell to ring (especially Deborah). None of them absorbed what their teacher’s were teaching them. Finally, the bell rang. The 3 met at the canteen, waiting for Nadera to turn up so they could discuss about the problem. “Hey! I’m here!” said Nadera, walking over to them. “Lets start talking about the kidnapping okay??” said Nisa, sitting down together with the others and looked towards Deborah. Deborah was staring up, into space. She was very upset. She could not accept that Firdaus has been kidnapped. Who would kidnap him and why? These were the questions that played on her already confused mind.

“Deborah, are you okay?” Nisa asked gently. “Ya…hey! Are you guys going to help me rescue him?” Deborah whispered. “Why don’t we just report the matter to the police?” Nisa asked. “No!” the 3 protested. “No way! Do not include the police in this!!” cried Deborah. “We must not report this matter to them. They will make it to a even bigger issue. It might appear in the newspapers…” Nadera said logically. “Okay, I’m sorry for suggesting such a foolish idea” Nisa apologized, trying to comfort Deborah, patting her shoulder. “But it’s school time, no holidays, only weekends. How and when are we going to save him?” Zahira asked. “Let’s go this Saturday and come back on Sunday night!” Deborah replied eagerly. She was already missing her boyfriend. She really couldn’t wait to save him.

“Don’t get too eager! It’s impossible! It takes almost one day to get there and it would take a few hours to find him. By the time we arrive back, it would be Monday night! How are we suppose to find him in one day? What excuse are we going to give our teachers in school?” Nisa replied, almost shouting. “You don’t have to shout!! I’m already tensed at what has happened. What you are saying has a point. But we really, really must save him!!” Deborah sobered. They stopped talking about it and started to make their way out of the school gate. The other 3 were thinking of what excuse to use while Deborah was thinking of Firdaus. Poor Deborah! Suddenly, Zahira, the quiet one, got an idea. “Why don’t we go to the cave on Saturday and search for the place where Firdaus is and give him some food and then on Sunday, we can save him easily as we already know where he is. So we do not need to sleepover there and we can return by Sunday night” Zahira suggested. Wow! Zahira suddenly became a bright girl. “Good idea!” Deborah replied with great enthusiasm. “So, shall we agree to the idea?” Deborah asked.

Chapter 1: The 4 Together


The bell rang for P.E. Nadera was so glad as USSR was very boring. All the girls went to the toilet to change. Once everyone had changed, Mr.Zaihan brought the class to the field as usual. He then told the class to run 3 rounds around the field."But you used to sy 2 rounds!", the class complained."One more complain and it would be 5 rounds!", Mr.Zaihan replied. With groans and mumbles, the class started to run. Together at the field with them was a sec 3 class having P.E. too. When Nadera, who had run ahead of her friends, passed a group of the Sec 3s', one of them signalled to her. Nadera turned to look. The sec 3 guy pointed to another guy and asked. "Look at this boy. Do you like him?". Smiling, Nadera ran past them and she heared the guy shout,"She has rejected you la!!". She finished her 3 rounds and waited for her friends. She thought to herself that she was already happy with the guy she likes now. She dosen't need another guy. When her friends returned, they started playing badminton together with the other girls and some boys while the other boys went to play soccer on the field. Time flew past and soon, the bell rang for recess. They returned their badminton rackets and went to the canteen for their recess.


As usual, they went to but chicken rice and went to a quite clean table and chair to eat. As they sat down to eat( accept Zahira who did not buy anything), Deborah took out her handphone and waited. "Waiting for Firdaus to sms as usual?", Nisa asked, eating her food. "Yup!". Deborah replied, still not eating. "Here, give me you phone and start eating", Zahira replied."Thanks", Deborah said and she finally started to eat. When they were halfway through their meal, Deborah's handphone vibrated. "He has sms!", Zahira informed Deborah. "yes!", said Deborah. After finishing their food, Deborah read the sms with glee. But suddenly, her face fell and she staretd to shake and shiver."What's wrong?", Zahira asked. Deborah handed her handphone to her and she read it. It said,"I'm not joking. This is for real. Help me plea". "What does ple mean??", Zahira asked. Nadera took the handphone from her and she and Nisa read the SMs."I think it stands for please", Nadera replied. "He hasn't even finished typing out the message! This is serious! What if he was kidnapped??!!", Deborah cried, as she took back her handphone. Then, her handphone vibrated again."It says 'Northern Islands, Link cave'! So he really has been kidnapped!", Deborah cried. "Don't cry Deborah", consoled Zahira. "What do we do?", Nisa asked."Save him ofcourse!", cried Deborah." What?! Go to Northern Islands?! That's miles away!", said Nisa. "Well, it's her boyfriend we are talking about. Of course she wants to save him", Nadera said. But they could not discuss anymore as the bell rang for the end of recess.
