Al Bahri: Ocean Sultan
Servant of God

5 Hours Later

Al Bahri awoke due to the faint sound of humming that continued to rumble. Slowly he tried to get up. He watched his surroundings and figured out the source of the buzz. The buzz came from a very large shell. Curious Al Bahri—get up near the source of the hum. The buzzing sounds clearer.

“Subhanallahu wa bi hamdihi, subhanallah il adzim.” The humming sound inside the giant clam has now been heard very clearly in Al Bahri's ears. Al Bahri stepped closer to the clams.

“Is there anyone inside?” Ask Al Bahri while knocking on the giant clam. The humble voice of dhikr stopped.

“Who is your Lord?” Ask a voice from inside the shell.

“Same as you Allah.” Answer Al Bahri.

“Then who is your Nabimu?” Hearing that Al Bahri was silent for a moment. He tried to remember what Halime and Harith had taught him. A few seconds later, Al Bahri remembered.

“Muhammad.” Al Bahri replied. After Al Bahri's last reply, the shell opened. A young man was sitting cross-legged in it. He looked at Al Bahri.

“Already suspected, you must not be Sulaiman alaihis salam. Because he himself was a prophet. But what I didn't think—it turns out you are a child.” The young man said astonished. Smelled delicious and delicious aroma when the shell is open. It makes Al Bahri feel hungry.

“Who is Uncle? Does Uncle have food for me? I'm hungry once.”

“I? Wasn't nobody. Only a child is devoted to his mother. If you are hungry, eat this. God willing after eating it you will not feel hungry again—for ever.” The young man said, handing over a pearl. The pearls are soft and chewy. Al Bahri immediately accepted and ate the pearl voraciously.

“Subhanallahu wa bi hamdihi, subhanallah il adzim.” Al Bahri's body slowly lifted. Floating towards the surface of the water. Al Bahri continued to say it until it reached the surface.

As soon as Al Bahri reached the surface, from a distance a faintly visible black dot that grew bigger. It was a galleon. Al Bahri breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the flag on the ship was the same as the flag of his aunt.

“Aibi! Is that you?” Shouted Al Bahri. Looks two-three heads are protruding. They seemed to be talking to each other, and then they left. Not long after, 4 human figures were seen. Halime and the two Janissaries who were always controlling and loyal, were also a handsome and sturdy man beside them.

“Aibi Halime!” Shouted Al Bahri girang. From the ship outstretched a rope that extends from the top of the ship to the front of Al Bahri. Al Bahri hurried to climb through the rope.

“Oh My son, Al Bahri. Aunty was so worried that she had to call Admiral Heyreddin to find you.” Halime hugged Al Bahri, like her own son.

“Sorry Valide, didn't you meet me to ask me to teach him to swim? Then how do I get to the surface if I can't swim?” Ask Admiral Heyreddin.

“I'm just dhikr and my body is slowly floating upwards.” Answer Al Bahri.

“Ey !, Masya Allah son, as your name implies, Al Bahri. The ocean itself is you! What is your full name?” Heyreddin asked with a look of admiration.

“Al Bahri Barbarossa Ocean Sultan.” Al Bahri replied.
