Episodes 10



Before long, a voice call from outside the boat cabin called Emak Japo,


to help with the delivery of the island, tonight someone gave birth. Japo's mother meticulously tidied up her hood and carried all her gear in the dull leather bag she was carrying.


There were footsteps of Japo's mother on the boat board and soon he closed the door of the cottage


made from bamboo. Japo's mom jumped across the boat and not for long


the sound of the boat began to drift away with the roar of the waves carried by the wind


nightly.


Aona got up from her bed. He was looking for a piece of cloth he had found before, he


sure there must be something that Japo's mother had hidden from him.  Aonamerrebukkan his body, he revealed


bed lining Mother Japo.


 What he was looking for he found, a bundle of cloth


those. Slowly he opened, his hand finding some letters that he had


read earlier, a small notebook and an old photo. Aona brought the temple closer towards


the photo, clearly visible men with foreign stature while the photo


the other was a young woman who was neatly hooded. The age of the man is quite adult


he was wearing a cross necklace.  Is a photo


this man is my father? Aonamemandung once again the photo of the man.


It turns out that what people are talking about is true. Unknowingly Aonage's body trembled and


I don't know what feels inside his chest like he's squeezed by relationship issues


it's dark out there.


Aona ventured to open the notebook slowly she read every word written on the paper


yellowing on each side.

It was my first trip alone, to be a data seeker for a task


finally, all the remote corners. The crew of the ship is currently focusing on the expanse


the sea that stretched out in front of me, in front of there were nine island children


a fascinating sight I will document. It took a few days to


until the nine islands.

Arriving at the pier, but there are still a few more islands


I have to get through. I was with the other passengers still sitting down and relaxing


watching the scenery that spread beautiful and fascinating, I was amazed


in this world? I don't know if I can be spoken in writing if I describe


this place. Some of the docks I went through, only able to photograph them from above


ships are islands I have never seen before. Here's this


my story journey begins.


January 15, 1997


Ten days have I passed the islands to get to this place is not easy, we


spend a few tens of liters of oil to get to this place. I was amazed when I set foot on this island for the first time, the sand was so white. It was so pure and clear


sea water to be able to witness life under the sea. I'm welcome to Tip Island, though,


so warm his embrace, reminds me of the figure of Father and Mother. They don't


I have agreed to this trip. On the day of my departure, Mother was incessantly crying, I hugged her as hard as I could. Until they can let go of me.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at me strangely, every move I noticed. Not infrequently girls here


whispering while staring at me. It's not enough for island kids here


follow every step I walk. They seemed to have never seen the camera I brought, finally occasionally their behavior I documented. It was so innocent and rigid in their style.


Every flash of light dazzled the faces of the island children.
