Alone

Writer by: Ferdian A Majni

Evening breeze slapping my face still sweating tears. I was stranded on the island of nowhere, after a day in a storm tossed sea. I was unconscious, after a boat that I rode with my brother slammed the waves. "My God, where my brother?"

I was startled awake after. With bodies swaying, I'm looking for my sister down the weeds. "Ukhtiiiiiii ... ...." Scream echoed through the silence of the night. I'm looking for Sister, who since this morning my sister slept in my lap. Not I spent every corner of my eye shadow would Sister. I was worried when she cried when she realized I was not beside him. Somehow I ventured to accompany the journey. I had no intention of him but his eyes melt crystal grains in my intentions. I do not have a feeling bad, I'm sure Sister also crashes and stranded like me.

My intention to touch the capital, crossing the ocean so I got there, to change my destiny. I who have been orphaned by patiently raising my Sister since he was twenty months, with very less income. "I can put aside some money for operating expenses sister someday", I thought.

Ever terbesit in the liver to entrust Sister to the orphanage so that I could earn as much as possible in the capital, but I could not leave. I do not have the heart.When one day he asked about his parents, who would answer. "If I could choose, I do not want to be like this, I do not want to become parents for the Sister, because I still need Mom and Dad," my ego.

My mother followed my father after a hot tin lodged in the pit of her stomach, one evening in the rice field. No one concerned with women's bodies. All fear to help her. And rebel forces battle raging in my village. The next day my mother newly buried.

The night wore on, the moon was right above my crown, Sister has not been found. I have to keep looking because I'm sure Sister could not do much to find me. Sister could not see. At first I did not know if my sister Sister blind, since he also grew normally even without a mother. But one night when high heat menderanya, I went to a physician to treat a Sister. With some herbs heal my sister finally did. But after a week before I was aware of the abnormalities that exist in Sister, namely visual impairment leading to blindness.

I staggered a step by step, shouted for Sister. Continue to wholesale. I hope tonight I found Sister. I do not want him hurt. I have not fed her rice, she must have been crying from hunger.

On the third night, my eyes are heavy, my light, I collapsed, "Allahu akbar," I said. I want to get up and walk back to find Sister. I can not move, I'm cold. Am I going to die here without Sister at my side. My body began to stiffen.

The next day I was found by a fisherman who happened to stop at this island. My body is frozen transported to the old boat. I leave this island without a Sister. I could not give them know of the existence of my brother on the island, so they look for Sister and also took away with me. Not feel buraian tears flowed from my eyes, nobody will see streaks woe.

Arriving at the fishing village, I checked a physician. I was declared dead. I cried uncontrollably. I do not want to die before I find and keep the promise to her Sister, Sister is my wish to treat. When Sister could not see in the world, hopefully he can see and meet her parents in Heaven.
