On An Island

Sea Water

"Honey, every living thing and thing in this world has its own destiny. The greatest thing is to be able to accept that destiny."

Oryza Sativa tried to make his youngest son understand. But the boy was crying, he did not understand his mother's words and thought that Cresen was still fighting over him.

The Chief decided to bathe his son and immediately carried him home. When he arrived home, Corazon became a poor boy. He's still upset. And don't want to do anything.

Oryza Sativa tried to cheer him up. By taking the boy to a hut used to store Corazon's pets. But he forgot one thing, that he had already taken off the animals indirectly. Now only one fish and one banana leaf caterpillar are left there. Even the golden snail had left.

There was a bit of regret in Oryza Sativa's heart, for leaving the door open all night and making the animals escape. Corazn doesn't look excited. The Chief hasn't given up. He carried his son and called his guardian king bird.

Corazn saw Cresen's memories of his first time on the back of the guardian king bird. And he smiled too. He said he wanted to go up. Of course, that wish was immediately granted.

The two of them eventually flew around the island riding on the guardian king bird. Viewed by Corazon an amazing view. And he saw many animals running in the forest.

"Mama... Are we at the zoo?" the question is full of enthusiasm.

"What's? A zoo? What'sthat?" asked Oryza Sativa confused.

"Yes, where we can see the animals. I've seen it on television."

"Television? Especially that?" ask Oryza Sativa. He forgot that he had seen it while he was in the hospital.

"There are animals. There's also a movie." Corazon explained as he could understand.

Corazon continued to chatter. It was as if the events experienced by Cresen were experienced by him himself. Oryza Sativa could only smile. And a head gnaw. Because every time he asked, Corazon's answer only made him more confused and a new question appeared in his mind.

"Mama, look. There are people who are swimming" Corazn said pointing towards the sea.

"Yes, he is watching the sea" replied Oryza Sativa.

"Mama, let's go down" Corazn asked. Without waiting for long they landed on the beach.

Corazon looked very pleased. He forgot what made him cry. Immediately he set foot into the water. Feel the river water approaching and leave it.

"The water goes back and forth yes ma. Are they dancing?"

"Perhaps," replied the makeshift Chieftain. That the boy doesn't ask much. That'll give him a headache.

Corazon played with the sea water he chased after it at low tide. Then run away from the water when it is high.

"Not got...!" he said with a happy tone. It was as if he was really playing with the water.

Someone came out of the water and greeted the Chief. Corazon approached the man. And looked at him as if he knew him. That person was the woman who saved Cresen when she first drowned in the sea.

"Did you see a whale there?" ask Corazn.

"No, whales don't swim to the shore right now. Although sometimes some of them are stranded by the beach."

"Can you get me one to take care of?" ask Corazn. The swimmer slipped.

"Why not? Many of my friends keep it," Corazon murmured.

Again he felt that Cresen's memory was his. And he did not know the difference between whales and koi fish in the aquarium belonging to Cresen's friend. Cresen's memory and knowledge are like a puzzle that is not neatly arranged in Corazon's vision.

The chief gave the swimmer a code to make up an answer his son could accept. And the swimmer smiled and replied casually.

"All right then. Later if I meet a whale, I'll ask the fish if it wants to be kept" said the swimmer.

"Geez, why even answer like that, where might my son perca_" the inner Chief stopped.

Corazn nodded, Oryza Sativa dumbstruck. He did not expect the lie to work. After hearing the swimmer's reply Corazon returned to the water. Then he played a chase with the waves again.

After he was tired, he tried to make a sand castle. As in Cresen's memory. By piling wet sand like a mountain, in line. He seemed serious about his activities.

Oryza Sativa and the swimmer also talked about Cresen. While watching him from a distance of several footsteps of adults.

Some islanders emerged from the forest. And look at the Chief. Then call the woman. They looked serious and carried a message.

"Chief of the Tribe, Shaykh ordered us to call all those who were by the shore to return, for a storm could suddenly come."

"But the weather is very sunny, does it make sense?" ask the swimmer with a slight squint looking towards the sea.

"We just send a message. The psychic also told us to return immediately after calling the people who were by the beach."

"really? Well then, I'll have everyone on the beach go back to the village. Y'all gohome. My son and I could have found people faster around the beach from above" replied the Chief. Then he glanced at Cresen but the boy was not there.

"Corazon... Corazon...!" call him. There's no answer. The chief came to the last place the boy was.

All eyes looked towards the walking Chieftain. "What's wrong? Was the Chieftain's son here?" ask them who just came.

"Yes, that kid was there playing in the sand." Swimmers approach the sand castle built by Cresen.

The Chief saw the footprints and followed Cresen's footprints. Which turned out to lead to the mangrove forest. The Chief accelerated his path. Then stop. Calling the guardian king bird and going up.

"You guys go to the village. My son and I will be back soon with the rest of the people on the beach!" the Oryza Sativa's. He quickly pushed the bird flying.

The islanders who had been with him, immediately went to the village with swimmers, as the Chief's message.

"Corazon...! Corazon...!" he shouted from the top of the guardian king bird's back while searching.

Corazon, who had captured the crab he was chasing into the forest, heard the cry of his mother as he returned to shore. But the woman was quite far away from him. Corazon shouted to his mother. Then thought about putting the crab into his sand castle first.

As he went to the edge of the sea, he saw the sea water suddenly receding. And more crabs came out of the water. Corazn was excited to catch them. While some people who are on the beach in other parts, for certain reasons actually run towards the forest.

"Corazon...! Back...!" yell Oryza Sativa.
