One day, I opened my eyes and was surprised, even shocked. How could everything be so dark, total black, the darkest black, without color, not even a single dot of light. I tried to sit on my bed. My heart was full of anxiety and confusion.... "I still can't believe this. Am I blind now?". My two hands were shivering and still holding the blanket. I was sure that that was not a dream.

"Nooo!! Is this a warning? Or is this a punishment? What is a big fault that I have ever done? This is really uncomfortable! Noo...! I want to be able to see the world like yesterday. I want to see colors. I want to see greenery. I want to see the blue sky. I want to see the water flow. I want to see how handsome .......... I want to see the beauty of the world", I was looking for a glimmer of light, but failed.

"Now I know how the blinds feel. It's really scary...! They can't see anything! How could they survive in this world? I have never imagined that I would be ...... I cannot see the lights. Darkness will make me hard to survive. How would I walk, how would I eat, how would I dress, how would I survive without reading and write??" I almost cried, but something motivated me that everything happens for a reason.

I got out of my bed, took some steps toward the door of my room, and open it .......

It was at 4 a.m., and there was a power blackout. I then saw the glimmer of light in the distance. ^^ I felt so grateful that there was nothing worse happened. It was a scarily unforgettable moment. Since then, I appreciate more everything that I have. I promise to myself that I will keep them well.

This is a real story of me. ^^

Thank you very much for reading. "Have a wonderful day!" ^_^

  • Hi Siti,

    Really? :D Then, I guess there are more people experience this. We probably had slept too comfortably that we didn't immediately realize what were happening around us. ^^

    Human likes complaining, but we can learn as we grow up, right? I'm learning not to complain too much, too. ^^

  • Dear Salma,

    I'm happy to see you again. I hope everything is fine with you and your family.

    Yup, I agree with that saying. I'm glad that it can inspire everyone. I was inspired too by that event.

    Sis Salma, :D at first, I looked for Rosemary's comment, but didn't find it. It's Rose's nephew. Yep, that really reminds us about being grateful.

    Thanks a lot for your precious time and visit.
