Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 2 (Week 4)| The Worst Day and The Best Day of My Life - A True-life Story!
6.5 Magnitude Earthquake At Night
The night was very dark and silent. I went to bed earlier than usual. As usual, I set the alarm before going to bed. I didn't set it up for a week because of my irregular sleeping hours. If I go to bed early, then my alarm is set earlier. And vice versa. I took the blanket and wrapped myself up. My smartphone is on airplane mode.
The night went by so fast. This morning was not as usual. I am awakened by the movement of the earth's layers centered in my district. I seemed to be still dreaming and sat on the bed. My mother's shout that woke the whole house woke me up. The 6.5-magnitude earthquake did not last long. Earthquakes that occur at night are different. Feelings of anxiety and restlessness are very imprinted.
Everyone was sitting and pensive in the yard and away from the trees. We are still traumatized by the great shock that caused the tsunami in 2004. A minutes later, the dawn call to prayer resounded in the village Meunasah. I dare not pray at home. And the down prayer was carried out at the village Meunasah.
The sun came and made it all clear. I don't think there are any major ruins and casualties. But in fact, most of the buildings in my city were destroyed, collapsed, and cracked. Many victims were crushed by buildings. Even a groom and some entourage died. My tears just flowed. We are grateful that we are still safe from this natural disaster.
The Distribution Of Report Cards Made My Parents' Eyes Tear Up
At that time, I was still in middle school. In addition to studying at school like other students, my parents were given special education to study religious issues at one of the leading educational institutions in the Pidie Jaya district.
That day was the day of the distribution of the prizes and the distribution of the report cards of my 4-four-month study results. I was sick and couldn't attend. My father and mother took over my duty to attend the report book distribution without me being accompanied. The sharing of the learning outcomes report it is indeed extraordinary. It begins with several events and presentations first.
That day, I managed to make my mother and father cry. He took home two trophies. The second trophy for intelligence and the first prize in the religious class. That same night my father went into town and bought me my favorite gift which I have taken care of and keep to this day. My father is a quiet person. The way to give a surprise is different from the others.

I am glad to hear that.
Oh earthquake at night! That is so terrible. It so sad to hear that a groom died during the earthquake and also many houses were destroyed and as such left many people homeless for sometime. Thank God that you are well, and hearty. We thank God for protecting you from that disaster.
There's nothing so sweet than seeing your mum and dad happy when you return from school with a wonderful result. Especially with trophies. It makes them so proud. I can sew your trophies, one from the intelligence competition and the other from winning a religion competition kudos to you sir. Wish you goodluck.
I am very afraid, dear. Thanks for the support and wise words

Thanks for the support and wise comment
You are very welcome.I pray that a time will come when death, earthquake and other natural disasters will be no more so that we can enjoy lasting peace and joy in this Earth.I just hope that it comes to pass.
In fact, earthquakes are natural disasters, we do not have a hand in it. The will of the Absolute Creator. But in fact I have never faced this disaster, in our country this earthquake is a little less. You said your worst day was the day you were asleep at night and suddenly you heard your mother crying. Because there is an earthquake there. As a result, many of your buildings have collapsed. It was actually a very scary time going to burden you. It was good to present your post.

Actually this makes me to remember the time we were warmed on television that there might be an earthquake in parts of Ghana. At that particular time we had moved to the Volta region, my father had travelled for his usual meetings . When my mom heard about the earth quake prediction in the nose, that night she didn’t make us sleep in the room but Thayer we slept on the varender just incase anything happens and we needed to run.
Fortunately on our side nothing happened. I was small at that time so I didn’t really know the extent of an earthquake. Now that am grown I’ve seen the havoc an earthquake can cause and I don’t wanna experience it ever.
I can just imagine the smile on your fathers face as he was called to come for the trophies on your behalf . Your parents must have been soo proud of their daughter. ☺️.
If I may ask what did he buy for you though 🤔. What is your favourite gift 🤔.
Thanks for reading my post. Hopefully, there will be no more natural disasters that leave scars and sorrow.
