Mystery of Coastal Village

Chapter 32. Mother's Past From Aldo

However, the sound was getting louder and louder, making Aldi feel curious let alone the voice that had only come from one person now even into two people.

Aldi was curious, he decided to look for the origin of the sound maybe it was Tata sound even though in fact Aldi was not sure because he memorized what kind of Tata sound.

Aldi is getting closer. Looking faintly from above the saung there were two women with different size bodies crying as they pleased. Sometimes they rubbed his tears and also snot on his nose that came out with his tears flowing.

"Are there any demons crying in that style?" So often meet strange creatures make Aldi's brain think everything is a ghost.

"I am not a ghost, hiks .. hiks hiks! Brother where now? We won't be home until my sister comes back. I promise never to leave my sister with me." A little boy was heard wailing.

From the sound of crying and his gaze Aldi so came to the conclusion that they are humans not ghosts as he suspected.

Convinced they were Aldi humans also went up to the saung and sat down near the little boy.

"Why are you crying?" Aldi dared to ask.

"My brother hasn't come home yet" the little girl replied as she swiped her hands before her eyes.

"That means he's human, right" Aldi's mind.

"Where is my sister?" ask Aldi again.

"Work to find fish but until now has not returned too," said the little girl then mewek again powerless to hold back her cries.

Hearing the girl's answer Aldi so remembered the missing person sought by the fishermen since last afternoon.

"So you're Aldo's brother?" ask Aldi to make sure.

"Is he right, you know my sister?" the little girl began to stop her crying.

"Don't know the hell just brother this afternoon also took part in a boat search to find your brother Aldo that."

"Oh." The girl did not cry anymore, but was still moody. His face that had just looked down had now begun to look up and look towards the ocean.

"Sister Aldo's love he must be lonely in the middle of the ocean. He must be cold tonight especially now the waves are so strong hit by the strong wind anyway."

Aldi doesn't know what to do. He understood the sadness of the little boy even more so his mother who had not cared about anything but just crying. It was possible that Aldi's existence in that place was also not seen by him.

"Little sister is calm, Brother Aldo there must be playing water with sharks and some sea animals that must be so funny there." His intention wanted to comfort the little boy, but it gave rise to hope within him.

"So Brother Aldo is not dead?" asked the child to make his mother who had just cried to lift her face.

"Is my son really alive?"

"God willing, ma'am, before the body was found there was a possibility of being alive." Aldi can not be sure because he is not an angel or indigo man who can guess. However, why does he have the feeling that Aldo is actually still alive.

"Hopefully son, what's your name?"

"Aldi Bu" said Aldi.

"Aldi?" The old woman frowned and looked at Aldi in disbelief. The woman immediately took a flashlight and looked at Aldi's face to see his face clearly.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" aldi asked astonished by the mother's actions that made him shocked and felt the mother was not polite. However, Aldi is unlikely to protest given the woman is still in a state of grief.

"Nothing, your name reminds me of a mother's missing child" the mother replied.

"Aldo meant mother?"

"No, but my first child. His name is Aldi. She went missing at sea an hour after the mother gave birth" she recalled the moment she gave birth to her first child.

"And now Aldo has the same fate. Both lost at sea. What sin did you have to suffer such a fate?" From the dim light spot Aldi could see the woman's face was very moody and tormented.

"How can a mother's first child be lost at birth?" Aldi was very surprised by the incident which he thought made no sense at all. If you lose Aldo who went to sea to catch fish, it is still in logic. Well, if it's a baby? Can't newborns be fishermen?

"At that time we were allowed to go home by midwives because the baby and mother were very healthy." Aldo's mother began to tell stories and Aldi listened carefully because he was really curious.

"You know for yourself, right, in this village there can be no motorized vehicles?"

Aldi nodded.

"Mother's husband is very happy to have had a son. He couldn't wait to bring my little Aldi home to silence the mouths of those who are always dying and say he is impotent so he can never have children. Therefore we chose the sea route using our own boat to go home."

Aldi understood it all because he had experienced it when driving Lisa to the village postdes.

Aldi was still listening as well as the little girl next to him being a good listener because her mother had never told her about it before.

"After asking permission to go home, the mother's husband wrapped a bracelet in the baby's hand made of roncean sea snails that are often said to be called buttons that are said to be useful to repel delicate creatures in order to unable to approach baby. Then in the middle there is a carving of wood bearing the name Aldi. 'You father give me the name Aldi yes, hopefully can be a child that Sholeh and cool the view of anyone who sees you' so said the mother's husband." The mother of Aldo sighed briefly to relieve the tightness in the chest.

"After we walked up to the boat with the baby still in the arms of the mother's husband and the mother herself walked in the back slowly because it was forbidden to walk quickly because the mother had just given birth. After arriving near our boat, the mother's husband put the baby on a small mattress that we deliberately brought and the mother's husband switched to open the boat mooring rope. Not at all expected strong wind suddenly hit until the boat moved before we climbed. The rope held by the mother's husband just slipped away because the mother's husband could not hold it anymore. The boat moved fast like a running person. The mother's husband gets on someone else's boat and chases after her and the mother's nil husband can't catch up with the boat and ends up losing track. Aldi and the boat are lost like swallowed by the earth. At that time we were almost stressed thinking about that and my husband's mother up to two days and two nights never wanted to eat."

The mother ended her story by wiping the tears that re-stained her eyes.

Seriate.
