Before 365 Days
41. Go Into the Fish's Stomach

The boat was traveling at medium speed. They try to stay calm, focused, not daydreaming.

The thin fog began to reappear. There was no animal sound. Not even to hear crickets at all.

Their hair bristles all over, not a few of them looking at each other to question what will happen. They speak using body language.

Above them were thousands of pocongs floating around with broken faces.

No one dared to look up. The pocong shroud dangled down, but no one pushed it down.

Sweat began to wash their sweat. No exception for Kang Ridwan. Kang Ridwan looked calm, and continued to recite the words of Alloh in his heart.

Suddenly from a distance there, the waves roll. They don't think, this is not the sea, why there are waves. Everyone was worried and scared.

"Where is Kang?" ask the driver who made a sound.

Kang Ridwan glared when the driver asked. In a swamp where there may be waves. The driver's question, the roll of the waves drew closer, and suddenly, a very large bayong fish's head, appeared with very long hair on the head. What makes it strange, the mouth of the bayong fish is like wearing lipen.

Everyone shut their mouths in fear, and remembered Kang Ridwan's words to remain silent. If you want to say, it is better in the mind.

"Allohu Akbar, what a creature is this, yes Alloh!" wulan said in her heart.

"Yes, save us all, make our journey all" Ad said in his heart.

The bayong fish got closer, and then annexed the driver who was driving Kang Ridwan's boat.

"Aarrrghhh!" shouted the driver who then entered Bayong's mouth.

Everyone smothered their mouths. They witnessed the incident. They felt no tears coming down their cheeks.

Kang Ridwan sighed, then closed his eyes. Mr. Ruman took the position of being a driver. Saras was still dumbfounded. His heart stopped beating watching this strange event.

"Tolonngg! Help me, Kang!" said the driver who had entered the stomach of the fish.

The driver was in the middle of the lake, and he was sitting on a rock. That is the fish. Why can it be like that!

"I'm sorry, Kang! I can't help my emotions when I see something strange! Please help me, Kang! Can I get out of here, Kang!" said the driver who is now crying.

"If you can swim, God willing you can survive, sir!" kang Ridwan.

"I mean, Kang? Where am I?"

"You must be in the belly of the fish. But not a real fish. When he poops later, you'll be dumped in the middle of the sea. Now my question is, can you swim across the sea?" ask Kang Ridwan.

"Inalillahi, what a pity my fate is, Kang! I can swim, Kang! But I have never tried to sail the ocean. What sea will I be thrown into?" The driver was crying.

"South Sea, sir! Just chill! If your life is still long, God willing you will survive. Berdo'a asked Allah, that you might be saved. Once this activity is over, I will head straight to the South Sea to look for you, sir!" said Kang Ridwan to encourage the driver.

"Thank you, Kang! I will continue to pray here. I hope I can still survive. And your search there was launched,"

"Amiin, I'll stay first, sir! Assalamu'alaikum!"

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied the driver.

Kang Ridwan's voice then disappeared. The driver could no longer hear him.

The driver is actually not willing to lose Kang Ridwan's voice. She needs a friend to talk to, so she doesn't get scared. But, he also knew, that Kang Ridwan also had a task that he had to complete.

"Yes, please save me. The servant still wants to live. There are my children and my wife at home who are looking forward to the return of the servant, to bring money, to meet our daily needs! Servants are not ready to leave them, who will sustain their lives if they are not in the world anymore,"

The driver let go of all his junk. He then tried to solemnly recite.

The rock he was sitting on was wobbling. The shaking gets louder, the driver tries to stay calm, and is not fooled back by how he feels. He was afraid something would happen if he had a lot of behavior back.
