Earthquake

 

It was really a scary nite. Aqim and me slept around 10pm. For one solid hour I tried to put Aqim to sleep. He tossed and turned, he felt uneasy. I raised my voice to make him scared. But yet he refused to sleep. Sang lullaby also didnt work. Then he asked for nenen....and it was a queue that he was tired. Dee joined us after that.

 

Around 12.09am I felt the bed shaking violently. I thought Dee was also feeling uneasy and I asked him why is the bed shaking. He looked out of the window and the neighbors from next flat hurried down hysterically. That's when Dee shouted at us to flee. He said....run down, grab Aqim and run...call Ana. It was really a panicky sight. I thought our building is going to collapse anytime. In that panicked state, we go a longer route to the staircase. On real fact, the staircase is just in front of my unit. The lift was full with human. I think lift is even more dangerous when tremors like this happened. U may get trapped and suffocated. I saw my neighbor, Liza cried and panicked.Shouted for my immediate neighbor, Agnes. She was also panicked. God please save us...I chanted a few verses on my way down. 13 floor down. All of us were at the foyer and some scattered by the roadside. I guess they were worried if the building gave way.

 

Aqim looked confused coz he just dozed off. His heartbeat was racing fast. Ana, Aqim and me seek refuge in our car. I called home to Spore frantically but no one answered. I just wanted to know if they are also facing the same thing. Ayah picked up and in his sleepy voice jumped off his bed when I told him what had happened. Mom was worried too but i kept giving them latest info so that they'll know. After 2 hours, we went back to our pigeonholes but of coz we all of us couldnt sleep. I packed our important documents, jewelleries and Aqim's light clothings so that shud anything happen, he is well taken off. Agnes and hubby came to our place to watch the news. After a cup of tea, they left our place and we tried to settle in to sleep at about 3.30am. At 4am, another scream came from the neighbors. We grabbed the bag I have packed earlier on and go down again by the staircase but this time it's the correct exit.

 

I told Dee we sleep in the car so that we do not have to go up and down again. At around 6am, everything seems serene and clear, we went up again. I really couldnt open my eyes and we are all very lethargic. I called up office to say that I will be late for work coz I was about to have a short nap.

 

It is really scarry and this is the first time I encountered such a tremors. How small we are in the world. U just cant contest with the act of God. Dear Allah, I hope you can hear me out. Please save us the muslims and muslimah. May we be shielded from all the natural disasters and may we die in the honor of Islam. Amin.

So mesmerize with Anuar Zain's ballads? Huh like mother like son.
