A Night Full of Terror!
Two days ago, my life has been mocked by a terrible fear and anxiety. Today as I'm trying to recall all the sequence of what happen I know that it made a big impact in our household. Now I understand what it feels to be like in a state of shock or traumatized by an event you never dreamt of. It almost ruined my day and aside from that, the fact that someone can easily destroy you and the rest of your family is really frustrating and horrifying. Every seconds and every minute counts seems like a big struggle against the forces seen by your eyes and felt by your senses consciously.
That night is nothing special.
It's just an ordinary.
Everybody took it's dinner like we usually does and enjoyed an extra time watching the television. We are only four in the house. But it's not yet too long when my mom decided too have an early retire to bed which she usually does especially when the whole day is exhausting from everyday's to and fro. And aside from that, she and my younger sister went to the funeral of a friend which added an exhausting night for her. Not after that I decided to walk through my room using the walker slowly because I was feeling kinda sleepy then. While one of my sister is watching television and the other having a goodtime in the internet. She's a computer freak who always stay almost a couple of nights in front of the computer while letting her insomia goes by. Well, I can say that everybody is busy with their own kind of stuff but we're still aware of what's going on that surround us.
Not quite a minute or an hour, I almost asleep while reading the book Sybil which is about a true story of a woman who is possessed by 16 multiple personalities that evolves when she was still in her childhood years and up to the time when she went to college and adulthood. I'm not yet done with the book somehow there's still a couple of chapters to read but almost there. I really need to have something to in my hands for me to put to sleep. It's either anything like watchtower publication or a thrilling novel that awakes my curiosity. When I felt that I'm already exhausted its now my time to say my prayers. I can say that at that night everything is in a good mood. Everyone in the members of our family haven't said anything to argued about. Everything is in place. We're just waiting for the mood to sleep.
Not until the moment of unexpected events comes. My sister Neriza turn off the lights in the sala (living room) because my mom and younger sister is in their room and me of course. For sure, it was really a deafening silence that echoes all throughout the house. No talk, no murmuring sound could ever be heard except the sound of the machine (laptop). Our computer workplace is together in the living room so if someone is watching the television and using the computer, for sure it would sound damaging to the ears. Anyway, my sister is the only one in the living room doing her stuff but she's aware of what's happening that surrounds the house. At first she heard a scratch, a distinct sound that as if someone is trying to enter the house forcibly. It seems like unimportant sound that you can ignore because you're anticipating that what if it is only a cat so nothing to be worried about. But the sounds takes longer and longer. Suddenly, the annoying sound seems coming out from the window my room. Without my knowledge, something was approaching to happen.
The sound goes still. As if someone is really excited to enter the house. The intruder was trying to do all his might to enter using a coil of wire. He pushes it between my window and the window grills. It scares me really to see a black shadow of man behind my back. It was only the window glass that separate us from one another. When my sister confirm that her suspicion is right. She just calm herself and rushingly went up-stairs to tell to my mother what is going on. My mother was surprised and still didn't sink in to her mind that an intruder was inside our vicinity. Not until, she went down-stairs to check what's happening. That's the time that I am already conscious that I finally see the black shadow of man behind my back at my window.
It sends a shiver down my spine that something is wrong was happening. I became really worried what if he successfully done his job and enter the house. Without in our expectation, someone was there. A black shadowed man who was wearing a white T-shirt who was holding a coil of wire to open my window forcibly. The same person who was keep on scratching the door earlier. The first thing that I did, I force myself to get off of my bed as soon as possible. At that moment, I feel really helpless and don't know what to do. But I was never alone, I realized that Jehovah didn't leave me and the rest of my family in that kind of situation. We still manage to call someone for help and thank God that everyone is safe.
Because of that incident, everybody learn a great lesson in awareness and having a presence especially when an intruder is inside your vicinity. But still, we thank Jehovah for always being there for each and everyone of us. He is a source of strength and everything is possible for him especially for giving us protection in these last days when people love only themselves and material things that push a certain individual to do something bad to their fellow man.
Praise Jehovah and his loving-kindness! "The salvation of the righteous ones is from Jehovah; he is their fortress in the time of distress.”—PSALM 37:39.
