Stormy night
After long journey home in catemeran.We taught to relive those moments. It was thankful time as all the passenger taught it would be our last journey and our names will be written in history as 260 passenger met the sea bed like the titanic tragedy.
The sea was rough waves was bigger than ship. Shaking as rocking on bed of rocks. We still remember the journey till the shore so must be all the travellers that day. The bond of friendship was tighten on that day till today we are family. Thou we do not meet much often but we know we can ouch for in time of crises any time in our life.,without even calling each other for help.We will be there beside each other to comfort in the our of pain and grief.That was not it as soon as landed one of friend kissed the ground of shore as thanks giving. We never taught more was waiting for us that night As we stayed in farm house it started raining non stop for hrs. We were used to this type storm as we had experienced. The night was dark and storm began to roar. the speed of the winds increased it started raining endlessly. There water every where we taught we need to only keep our self warm.But suddenly wind was violent like hurricane struck our roof top. water started pouring from every sides we were just collecting the rain water in buckets tumbler chatty but could sustain it was like waterfall.We covered the leakages with rugs or any type of jute cloth but nothing could stop dripping of water.
Nightmare became more worse the stormy winds started to shake the roof top hooks it was about rip off the roof. We would have had roof over our heads that night with this cold rain without a roof it would be impossible to survive. So we holded on to roof in the four corners of the house. The wind was violently trying rip off the roof. Nearly hours we stood holding on to the roof tightly. Hands were cramping so we took turns . Hold on that whole night. arms were paining as it difficult to grip the roof hooks against the stormy wind. But it was a miricle that night We holded on to that roof as tight as we could turn by trun Survival of the fitess it was thou. back to back tragedy of life we faced that night.
