Tiba-tiba aku melihat ibu muncul di antara papan-papan yang mengapung diatas air dan ia meminta tolong. Umi ditolong oleh seorang laki-laki dewasa. Tetapi, kami tidak menemukan Fadil. Kami membersihkan badan ALA KADARNYA di tempat itu. Untung ada air yang bisa diminum dan ada si pemilik rumah memberikan kami pakaian ganti.
