For nearly seven years, Wati's parents believed their daughter had died when a tsunami hit Indonesia's Aceh in December 2004. Yet on Wednesday, the 15-year-old returned home alive, according to reports by Indonesia's state news agency Antara. 
 
 Wati was 8 when the tsunami hit Aceh and she lost grip of her mother's arm, Antara reports. For years, the family believed the girl had drowned in the water. Yet on Wednesday, Wati's grandfather Ibrahim received a visit from an acquaintance who brought a young girl that was looking for her home. The news service writes that the girl was seen in a coffee shop where she sat in silence, and people had thought she was a beggar. She reportedly did not remember her parents' or relatives' names, except for one -- Ibrahim. 
 
 According to Antara, Wati's parents were reunited with their daughter and reportedly confirmed the teenage girl was their child after recognizing a mole and a scar. 
 
 The tsunami that hit the coast of Aceh on December 26, 2004, was triggered by the world's most powerful earthquake in 40 years. The tsunami hit more than 10 countries. Nearly 170,000 people were killed and almost 130,000 went missing. ||||| A girl who was believed to have been swept away by a massive tsunami that devastated coastlines in Asia has reportedly shown up alive, nearly seven years to the day after she vanished. 
 
 Indonesian state news agency Antara reported the girl, named only as Wati, was aged eight when she was ripped from her mother's arms by the rushing waters near her home in West Aceh, Indonesia, in December 2004. Her mother, Yusniar, was trying to get her and two other children to safety at the time. 
 
 Antara reported Wednesday that the girl's grandfather, Ibrahim, met a teenager who had traveled from another region, Banda Aceh, saying she was trying to find her way home. 
 
 The girl said she could not remember any of her relatives' names apart from one -- Ibrahim, Antara said. 
 
 He became convinced the girl was Wati, and her parents also later identified the girl as their daughter by a small mole and a scar over her eyebrow, Antara said. 
 
 It added that reporters were not immediately told what had happened to the girl during the time she was away.
– Seven years ago, an 8-year-old girl was pulled from her mother's arms by the tsunami in Indonesia; now, word is she's been discovered alive. An acquaintance brought a 15-year-old girl to her grandfather's home this week; his name—Ibrahim—was the only one she could remember, state news reported. The acquaintance had found the girl in a nearby coffee shop, where she'd been taken for a beggar. Ibrahim was sure the girl, who was reportedly seeking her old home, was his missing granddaughter Wati, the Huffington Post reports. Her parents later recognized a mole and scar on her face. The rest of her story remains a mystery so far, MSNBC notes. It's a storybook tale—let's hope it isn't too good to be true.
