Diary of a Castaway

Chapter 6

DAY 60

     I write from the boat, heading home. They threw me a farewell party and gave me some jewelry as payment for the work done. They didn't let me refuse, but with this I will be able to help my family build a good house and have my own fishmonger business, hiring people.
     I will miss everyone, especially my good friends Arael and Haniel, who taught me how to live a life of peace and appreciation for life.

     I left Nuriel a couple of writings to practice, comparing them in her language, I'm sure she will like it and her future rebirths will be more informed that there is something more than this island from which she will one day be able to teach her knowledge.
     Perhaps the place I was away from was the true paradise that our ancestors were once thrown into and God wanted him to know of its existence to learn from them and their language, their culture. Not everyone was evil in this world, there was hope.

DAY 65

     Returning home has been like waking up from a long dream. My wife couldn't believe that I was really alive and she didn't stop crying while she hugged me.

     Isaac looked at me with big, watery eyes, surprised to see me again. Gerson, on the other hand, was more than surprised. He couldn't believe I was alive and kept asking me questions. Luckily before arriving I had hidden the pages of my diary, I don't want to forget the time I was on that island.

     I took a small box and buried it in the bush, with a sign that only I could identify.

     Tomorrow I will set out together with Gerson to start the jewelry business and build a house with good materials.

     I am grateful for the help obtained and to God that my family can also have an opportunity.
