Casanova Dipinang Sholeha
One Year Lost

One year ago Alex went to Pangandaran Beach. He's looking for a landowner named Anwar Junaidi. Because of the severe traffic. Alex was forced to get out of the car he rented. He walked in search of another vehicle that could pass through the traffic jam. Until finally Alex took ojeg to the location.

Arrive at the location on the edge of Pangandaran Beach Alex looking for Mr. Anwar. He visited Anwar's parents' house. It's just that Anwar isn't in place.

"Anwar just got home, Alex, just half an hour ago."

"So Mr Anwar is already Ma'am?" ask Alex again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then thank you, sir, Mom." Alex says goodbye to Mr. Anwar's parents. He walked on the side of the road that was not far from the lips of Pangandaran Beach. That afternoon was cloudy. The wind is so big. The waves began to rise and rise to the mainland. Slowly the storm came. Alex was surprised to see the storm. He ran as far as possible to save himself with the people who ran all the way here and there. But suddenly a two meter high tide wave came suddenly. Bumping all the places on the lips of Pangandaran Beach.

Alex was carried away by sea water. He tried to swim with all his might until he managed to reach a wooden cushion used to build a board house. Alex sat on a board carried by sea water. He was silent and cold. My clothes are wet. The wind was still strong plus the drizzle that descended from the sky made his body even colder. Alex can't do anything. Just pray and ask for Allah SWT protection.

"Oh my God, my wife is pregnant. Save the servant, allow the servant to meet the wife who is waiting at home" said Alex. His face looked up at the overcast sky.

While he was praying, Alex heard his mother's voice crying. Alex looked towards the voice. A mother gets carried away while holding her child. Alex saw it. He's coming down off the board. Swim towards the mother and the child. He helped both. Take him to that rectangular-shaped board. He helped the mother and child climb onto the board. Because the board was narrow, it could only be occupied by two people. Alex let the mother and son sit on it.

"How was it?"

"Important mother and daughter survived" replied Alex.

"May Allah SWT repay his kindness."

"Amin" Alex replied. He took refuge in the mother and child. Alex was exhausted. He can't swim anymore. He also cannot remain silent. The sea water was cold and the current was quite large. Alex had to go back to swimming. Until he was exhausted and cold.

"Allah the servant is no longer strong. Servant still wants to meet Sophia, give me strength," said Alex. The tidal wave again came Alex who was unable to swim again carried by the sea water currents.

"If I must die, let me meet Sophia one last time, O God," Alex began to lose consciousness. His body was carried away by the currents. Stranded until stranded on an uninhabited island.

The morning sun feels warm touching the skin. The sound of waves rang out. The sound of birds flying. And the breeze blew slowly.

Both Alex's neutrals began to open slowly. His body lying on the white sand began to move. His eyes looked around. The ocean is visible throughout the eye. Alex recalls everything that happened to him.

"Where am I now?" said Alex. He's trying to get up. Even though his body hurts everything.

"His body hurts a lot, it's hard to get up" Alex complained. He can't get up. Stay silent in the same position. For hours, he let himself get hot, hungry and thirsty. He could do nothing but silence. But the waves started to roll towards him.

"I have to wake up otherwise the waves will come back on me" Alex said. He tried to get up again despite the pain. His body really hurts. His entire body was bruised and felt pain in the legs.

"My leg hurts a lot" complained Alex, who tried to lift his leg.

"Ac ..." Alex is in real pain. He can't get up.

"I have to get up, I want to meet Sophia" Alex said. Only Sophia made him excited again to wake up. No matter how much his foot hurt. He's trying to get up. While biting his lips because of the pain he was holding back.

"Alhamdulillah," said Alex managed to wake up with a sitting position. But he can't stand. Just sit down, he's trying to die. Especially to stand.

"It looks like my leg was injured, or maybe it was broken" Alex said. Seeing her legs hard to move and it hurt.

Waves were coming against his body. Alex survived the sea waves many times. His clothes were drenched back and forth even his face was continuously swept away by the sea water. Alex endured the pain and cold for several hours. He can't stand. I can just sit in place.

"My stomach is so hungry" Alex said. Do not fill the stomach. To pull over from the waves he was not able to.

Alex resigned, no one can help him. It's stranded on an uninhabited island. Some of the islands in Indonesia have not all been named and inhabited by humans. Including the island where Alex was stranded.

"O Allah is this a fortune for me?" said Alex. It is possible that the fish was sent by Allah SWT to fill his hungry stomach.

Alex holds the fish. Eaten raw. Despite the fishy smell he still ate it because he had to. His stomach must be filled to make him energetic.

"I should be able to get to the edge. The waves will get bigger at night. There could be a storm" Alex speculated. He tried to wake up with all his might. Even though his leg hurts a lot.

"Aw .., I can't get up" Alex said. Even though he tried several times, he could not get up.

"Let's Alex think!" tell Alex to himself. He won't give up. His desire to live and meet Sophia was so great.

"Yes, I'd better nges0t" Alex said. He tried to nges0t little by little. Until an hour finally Alex can get to the beach. He rested near a coconut tree. Lean while leaning his back to the trunk of the coconut tree. Adjusting his wheezing breath.

"Thank God, thank God" said Alex. He could rest while staring at the vast expanse of the ocean. There was a longing in his chest. Sophia's face flashed, her voice heard calling out to her. Makes Alex more tormented by longing.

"Sophia, I want to meet, I want to go back" Alex said.

Two weeks passed. Alex was able to stand up and walk smoothly. He's still on the beach. Expect a boat or boat to come and pass near the island where it stands.

"There have been two weeks that no boat or boat has crossed near these waters. How do I get back," Alex said. He's still hanging out by the beach. Trying to make a flag as a sign to ask for help but it has been a month there is also no answer.

Alex is desperate. Day after day he just stood by the beach. Until three months have passed. There's no progress. There was no sign of humans coming or passing through the waters near the island.

"I had to build a wooden ship so I could get off the island" Alex said.

"That means I have to get into the woods" Alex said. He had to go into the forest. In addition to looking for wood or anything to make a ship. He also needs food to eat.

Alex went into the woods. Getting in. He was confused to go back to the beach.

"Astagfirullah, I got lost in the woods, how did I get outside?" inner Alex. In the forest the path is almost the same. She's confused. Alex kept walking but returned to the same place.

"Capek, come back here again" said Alex who has tried several times. Alex finally got some rest. He is trying to live his life now.

The next day Alex again walked out of the forest. He walked again until noon still in the forest. Alex desperately tries to find his way out by following the sunset. Alex continued walking until he did not realize there was a cliff in front of him. His legs slipped until he fell down.

Bluug ...

Alex fell. His head hit the rocks. Fortunately the cliff was not deep. Alex just fainted. When Alex woke up, he didn't remember anything anymore. Alex is like a dazed man. He lives in a tarzan forest.

Month by month passed. Alex, who was like a jungle man, walked in search of food. He smelled good cooking. Alex kept walking to the beach. Alex saw a bunch of people fronting on the beach. There are three tents and one boat on the beach.

Alex approached the tent. He saw a lot of food. But there was one thing that made him dumbfounded and stopped his steps. He heard the sound of the holy Quran

from inside the tent. The voice made his heart and mind seem to remember something. His eyes shed tears. It was like something he missed when he heard the recitation of the holy Quran. Alex ran back into the woods. He kept running. His head was very dizzy after hearing the chanting of the holy Quran. He started to remember little by little. Until Alex stopped his steps, sitting under a tree. Alex held both hands. He began to remember all the memories he had in mind.

"Sophia ... Sophie ... Sophia I miss," said Alex.

She remembered Sophia. His memory began to slowly recover. Alex regularly listens to people who teach in tents secretly.

A few days later the people on the side would go home. Alex immediately approached those who were about to board the ship. At first they were all scared to see Alex being such a badass.

"I'm Alex Sebastian from Jakarta, whether for how many days or months, or maybe the year I was stranded on this island, I want to go home to see my wife and son, please help me," alex said begging those people. He also recounted all the things that happened to him from the beginning at Pangandaran Beach until he was stranded on the island. They listen to Alex's story. And agreed to help Alex. Gave her a lift.

Alex got on the boat. One of the men gave him a black jacket. Some gave him some stuff too.
