Earlier, Aldilang worked as a guard on the fish hut in Manado Bay, about 125 km from the mainland. Aldilang's work is often called 'rompong' by locals.

It happened around the beginning of July, when Aldilang was working on Sulawesi Island, in eastern Indonesia, Aldilang's shelter swept away by the storm and drifted out into the ocean.

At that time, the small hut didn't even have a paddle or a motor. The amount of food and food on the hut is just enough for the young man to survive for a few days. The only thing on the hut is a gas stove, clean water and raw materials to run a generator to attract fish, enough for about a week.

Frightened and unaware of what to do, Aldilang accepted the truth, facing the situation of floating on the hut drifting and using survival skills to survive.

A day of Adilang mainly includes catching fish in the morning and reading the Bible in the afternoon. Aldilang managed to live on the sea by self-fishing, using small pieces of wood from the hut to heat up to cook and make use of seawater-filtering clothes to reduce salt consumption.

Aldilang's spirit became more and more apparent, he said that he often cried when every train followed each other through his hut, even though he screamed helplessly. Many times he thought he would die in the ocean, but then his survival instincts helped Aldilang win the adversity.

' Each time he saw the big ships, Aldilang had hoped to be rescued but 10 ships passed without any of them stopping or they could not see Aldilang ' - Fajar Firdaus, a diplomat Indonesia from the Consulate of Osaka, Japan interviewed The Jakarta Post news agency.

Finally, the crew on board Arpeggio in Guam's sea discovered the young man stuck in the sea. By jumping from the hut and clinging to the rope from the sailors, Aldilang was rescued on August 31.

Next, Aldilang followed the crew to Japan on September 6 and was handed over to the Indonesian consulate here. After a few days, Aldilang was brought back to his hometown and reunited with his family.

' He is at home now. At the end of this month, it will be 19 years old and we will be preparing to celebrate '- Adilang's mother said.
