Mystery of Coastal Village

Chapter 21. Search Plan

"Why not be searched?"

"It was, but we couldn't find it."

"Who's missing?"

"Aldo," answered one of the fishermen who was in the big boat.

"Jeez Aldo pity him, his intention to find money to help the family finances to ease the burden of his mother during school holidays like now even hit by a disaster like this, hopefully he'll be safe and found soon." A mother wailed to remember how Aldo struggled to help her mother all this time and now she is in danger.

"What's missing is still a child, Mom?" tanya Tata was curious because the mother who was crying and wailing just now mentioned the word school.

"Yes Ta, she is still in 3rd grade of High School, but since she is an orphan and has a little sister who is still in elementary school she always helps her mother make money. If Sunday is like now he goes to sea. However, when the school entered he continued to work selling fish by riding an ontel bike around to the next village," obviously Bu Loli made Tata who heard him also concerned about the situation of Aldo even though Tata did not know and did not know the child.

"Hopefully congratulations and hopefully someone will help, ma'am" Tata said hopefully.

"Amin" replied Ms. Loli and her other mothers.

"How can it be lost?" ask the other mothers who suddenly stormed the arrival of the fishermen.

"So morning our friend saw him plunge into the sea. Thinking Aldo plunged because he wanted to drive the skipjack fish to get closer to the boat, our friend just let it go. He only realized when he saw Aldo screaming for help on the rising waves. When we all jumped out of the boat and looked for Aldo's presence in the sea water it was too late. The child has disappeared" explained a man in his 40s.

"When does it happen?"

"About 4 am when the atmosphere is still dark may not be in time for dawn" the father explained.

"Why is the search stopped, why not search until it can be found?" A mother ran directly in conversation between middle-aged men and mothers.

"Sorry we gave up for now, we've all been swimming in the water for too long so it's cold and hungry. If we force ourselves not only Aldo who is wretched but maybe among us there are also those who are wretched. We also went home to seek reinforcements to join the search. Aren't the more people searching the better and the faster they'll be found?" The man said with trembling lips and body as a result of enduring the cold.

"Then Uncle went home first, surely aunt worried about Uncle's condition after hearing the news there was one of the fishermen missing. Fear aunt considers Uncle who is missing, after all Uncle's clothes are soaked if not immediately replaced Uncle could have caught wind," said Rifa.

The mothers nodded and gave way, the man immediately rushed off to go home.

On the edge of the beach, on the gazebo or saung deliberately made by the fishermen as a place to wait for their boat when the wind is strong so as not to be dragged by the current it seems some fishermen are still seriously wrangling. They did not heed their wet clothes even their bellies that were screaming for stuffing.

A mother stammered in buying them all rice packs for looking at their stomachs like a starving man.

"Where was it when Aldo plunged into the sea?" ask other fishermen who did not participate in the boat, ask the position of Aldo first lost to facilitate them to search.

Several people had already been seen preparing their respective boats. Small and large boats also took part in the search for Aldo.

"That's the position right next to the sunken ancient ship" explained someone. Indeed, in the middle of the sea they found a Dutch ship that was sunk and overgrown with corals. Usually the position of the ship is used as a direction pointer between fellow fishermen.

"Why Aldo can jump without telling me anyway" one protested.

"Maybe he jumped because someone called him and subconsciously his body reflected the call. Actually last night I saw a black shadow that flashed in the boat and asked me as if jumping from the boat into the sea. Almost I want to jump because looking under the sea there is a view that is so beautiful and amazing even I see like there is a palace there. When I started to move my legs to jump suddenly the beautiful scenery down there turned into a cemetery. I immediately shook my head and held my legs so as not to jump. Unfortunately my feet slipped into the net and almost fell into the sea. I screamed for help, but none of my friends responded. Maybe in sleep in my mind so I have to try myself not to fall into the sea because honestly I can not swim at all" said one of the fishermen who participated in the boat.

There were whispers between fellow fishermen and Tata only noticed by second guessing what they were talking about.

"What do I really think? That's why I repeatedly forbid you to join the boat. Indeed, the boat always gets a lot of fish catches, but if we eat the mash-us as a bad fishery." Someone tried to convince one of the fisherman members who was on the same boat as Aldo.

"Maybe you are right considering that there have often been fishermen lost in the middle of the sea and there is always no trace of it. None of the fishermen found his body when they were lost while sailing with the boat Sky (Heaven is the name of the boat given by the owner).

"Yes that way, you should eat first so as not to mag later if the garbage is late to eat."

While he was busy chatting while eating, Aldo's mother suddenly ran towards them and screamed. The mother cried hysterically and bemoaned the fate of her son and begged everyone to help find her son.

"Good Mom, I'll look again after eating and changing clothes. Now the other friends are getting ready for the search. Later we follow again," said the man then enlarge his feed to quickly finish eating and can return to the sea to participate in the search again.

Seriate.
