The water had reached in front of his nose. He also took off his grip and tried to swim despite enduring extreme pain. Oh my God, it's cold. Real cold. It felt like he was getting into ice water. He heard the loud cry of the boy he helped crying over him.
Faisal tried to swim. Where to swim, though? And until when did he survive in a swimming position in such cold water? Darkened. Really dark. As Faisal gazed towards the ship, only the tip of the ship could be seen. And now the ship has been perfectly sunk. And that little boy just now, was already lost in the water. Faisal swam to a floating buoy. His hand managed to grab the buoy and immediately put it on.
Faisal felt his whole body getting colder. Legs numb. His hands began to go numb. His entire skin had paled and his lips were frozen. His body shivered violently. How long will he survive in such conditions? Oh my God, it's like it's in plain sight. And he just waited for time. Faisal resigned. It's been very resigned. He thought he would soon die. His life will return to the one who created.
In the heart of Faisal, laa illa ha ilallah. And he begged God, accept his repentance. It is time for him to die. And only one name he remembered, God. If his life leaves his body soon, it will be the will of God. It was not the fear of death that Faisal felt at that time, but rather the greatness of God when he saw how wide the sea water around him. How great is God who has created a very dark darkness. How great is the power of God that has shown him the terrible events of that tragedy-filled night.
Laa illa ha ilallah.In the last thought, Faisal's eyes were closed and unconscious, he could no longer endure the cold all over his body.
Enek Hasibuan, a man of Toba Batak descent who saw a body figure swinging on the water immediately shouted to his friends. Rushing Enek and his friends rescue Faisal, lifting up Faisal's body and taking him to the small ship they boarded though they do not know if they saved a corpse or a human. Atek was surprised to find out that the paled cold body was still alive.
I don't know how long Faisal closed, but when Faisal's eyelids opened, the first sight was the face of the sangar with a sturdy jaw whose cheeks were filled with holes in acne scars. A moment Faisal was puzzled observing the surroundings. He was in a foreign place, the roof of the house is made of leaves that do not know what the name is, the walls are made of boards and many are perforated. The sun from the outside penetrates inward through small holes. And the floor, ah, no floor. Ground base. He was stunned to find himself lying on a piece of brown pandan mat.
