In a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity, 14-year-old Sevina Azahra from Tasikmalaya is on the mend after a near-death experience at Pangandaran Beach. Sevina, who was rescued by the heroic efforts of Policeman Anumerta Anditya Munartono, has made significant progress since the incident on January 3, 2025.
When met at her home in Desa Tenjowaringin, Kecamatan Salawu, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, Sevina appeared to be in good health, despite still bearing the mark of her infusions. She shared her harrowing experience that unfolded at Pangandaran Beach on that fateful day.
"I was swimming near the shore when suddenly, I was pulled out by the waves," Sevina recounted. Unbeknownst to her, she was gradually pulled into deeper waters. Panicked and unable to find her footing, Sevina desperately called for help. It was in this dire moment that Policeman Anumerta Anditya Munartono stepped in.
Sevina and Anditya were both unconscious when they were eventually rescued by local fishermen. Sevina regained consciousness at the hospital later that night, disoriented and suffering from nausea, likely caused by the saltwater she had ingested. Tragically, Anditya did not survive his efforts to save Sevina.
Sevina, eternally grateful to her hero, expressed her deepest condolences to Anditya’s family. "He’s my hero. I’m so sorry for his loss," she said, her voice choking with emotion.
Sevina’s mother, Nia Puspita, echoed her daughter’s sentiments. "We’re forever grateful and can only wish for his soul to rest in peace. We don’t know how to repay his kindness," Nia said.
Kepala Desa Tenjowaringin, Idi Abdul Hadi, also expressed his gratitude to the police force for their brave deeds. "On behalf of the village, we thank the police for saving one of our villagers," he said. "May Anumerta Anditya Munartono’s soul rest in peace as a martyr while saving a life."
The story of Sevina and Anditya serves as a poignant reminder of the lengths people will go to help one another, even at the risk of their own lives. It is a beacon of hope in the face of tragedy, a testament to the power of human kindness.
