Good night to all.

Aldi Novel Adilang is a 19-year-old young man who works as a raft or rompong guard in the middle of the sea ..

The story of this young man attracted the attention of many people and viral in various international media because his story could survive alone in the middle of the sea in a very long time.

Aldi is a young man who works as a rafter and every day has the task of turning on the lights so that the fish gather under the raft..

He was contracted for a full year to continue to be in the middle of the sea on his raft for a fee of 2 million rupiah every month and was never allowed to land.

All the necessities of life and logistics are supplied every a week by ships that come to collect fish from under the raft that her guard, so Aldi's risky work can help ease the burden on his family living below the poverty line.

Aldi does understand that this work is certainly very risky. In fact he was often frightened when the sharks approached to search for food under the lights of the her raft.

The story begins on July 14, 2018 and when there was a strong wind from the south, the raft house that he rode which was about 77 miles or 125 kilometers off the coast of Indonesia suddenly over break and caused him to drift along with big waves and strong winds around the sea Sulawesi,Indonesia..

Aldi actually has been ask for help through his handie talkie (HT), but the big waves made the rescue boat not dare to continue the rescue and then let Aldi dragged by the waves on the raft without the engine he was riding..

For 49 days he was swayed in the middle of the sea get to Guam as far as 2.414 kilometer to the middle of the pacific ocean because of a strong current, finally on August 31, 2018 Aldi received help from a Panama-flagged vessel named MV Arpeggio, this container ship was is being sailing from Australia to Japan..

This ship almost passed by and did not want to help like the other ships that had sailed there, but this ship returned after Aldi said 'Help' through HT that had been connected to the ship through its frequency.

After getting an emergency signal, this container ship circled the raft 4 times but could not get close because of the small wind in the middle of the ocean.

But finally the crew threw a rope towards Aldi's raft to try to help him get out of the dangerous of the pacific ocean, Aldi tried to grab the rope that was thrown by swimming until finally Aldi could reach the ship.

After getting help and being given food by the rescue crew, Aldi was taken to Tokuyama port, Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan as the destination of the ship ... in the end he was able to reunite with his family in Indonesia with the help of the Indonesian Consulate General in Japan.

The second week when he was swaying in the middle of the sea, Aldi felt hopeless and lost hope that he almost killed himself.

But every time that thought arose, he would go straight into the hut on his raft and read the Al-Kitab he was carrying while singing spiritual songs.

The days continue to pass in the middle of the sea, Aldi is still patient waiting for a glimmer of hope that will save him from death and from the ferocity of the ocean ..

Until finally Aldi got help after 49 days tossed around in the middle of the sea and survived by eating raw fish and cutting water from his clothes so he could remove a little saltiness ...

This is a dramatic story about mental resilience of a teenager who is still in his teens to survive when swaying in the middle of the sea.

Therefore we need to take lessons from this story, do not assume that our lives suffer the most so that we will easily give up when experiencing a problem, continue to believe in God in accordance with their respective beliefs by always praying and trying, God must have a plan beautiful for us so he tried it with disaster, whether we prefer to give up or even try to remain steadfast with the suffering given.

One important point that we must also remember, try to survive in extreme conditions...

Thank you very much..
