Mysterious Phenomenon

We walked towards Pow's house and got further and further away with my house. I have very little money to go home by public transportation because I have used it by buying Pow's merchandise.

Pow said the road to his house was not far from here. We entered a small road and the only access to its settlement. This road is quite small but still fit for one purpose. Right-left of this road is covered directly with the walls of the houses that are here. This road is pretty quiet even there's only me and Pow as far as my eyes can see it.

But our footsteps suddenly came to a halt because something was blocking in front of us. There were some people who stopped us from passing by.

They clenched his hands and patted him.

“How is this? I can't fight it,” said Pow who was very panicked.

“Take it easy. Stay behind me,” reply I assure him.

“Look. There are two weak people who want to pass through our area,” said a criminal to his friend friend.

They're getting closer to us. It seems like they won't be as much stale as they were back then. Then they immediately attacked us. Pow ran a little far behind me. I was directly against him. It was fortunate that I still remembered the martial way I had learned in the village.

Pow just watched me and these criminals fight each other. I was alone while they were four men and sharply armed. They just hit and kick like people fight in general. All of his attacks are pretty easy to avoid. But there are some who hit me because they attacked him simultaneously.

Soon I managed to fight them all. I slightly injured blisters on my hands and feet. And my cheek scratched a little knife. Then Pow came up to me and gave me the water he had in his bag. I was so exhausted and panting. But I still can walk. Pow embraced me and we continued on our way. The criminals ran away from us with fear and severe injuries.

Then we had entered a settlement that was as different as a city. This is on the edge of town. This place is quite shabby and messy. Not far away like the village I live in.

Pow pointed to his house that was already visible from here. The house is very simple with a yard that is quite spacious and planted with many plants here. Pow allowed me to come in.

When I went into his house I saw many of his family having fun and chatting in the living room. When they saw me, they happily invited me to sit down and chat together. They also brought me food and drink. I am so grateful and a little embarrassed.

In his family, only Pow worked in the city selling candy. His wife made it. Sometimes Pow also works odd jobs if the money he earned is still not enough to meet the needs of his family. As the head of the Pow family goes to great lengths to support his family. But he also tried to find a more decent job.

The time I should have spent getting around knowing my area was replaced by having a new acquaintance and experience. I learned some lessons today. They also shared their stories. The new me here just smiled and watched her. I was also invited to have lunch with them.

It doesn't feel like the day is getting dark anymore. We were so excited that we forgot time. Play, chat and share stories together. Families of color though must continue to struggle to survive in the midst of an era full of this technology.

Seen from the edge of this city all very tall buildings towering in the middle of the city center. When it was getting dark, I saw lights illuminating the city sky. It was so beautiful, even more so than Lumiatia. I crossed the housing on foot.

I am also still afraid of my wounds that are still scarred. Although it has improved but the rashes are still visible let alone scratches on my cheek. Sometimes I still feel pain when I walk. It's a good thing that I applied the wound medicine while at Pow's house earlier. Now it's better than ever.

It was dark and late. I stopped for a moment and sat on the sidewalk. I see streets and buildings that are always crowded with people. I also stretched my body which was starting to ache. After resting for a while, I continued my path slowly and hoped that nothing would stand in my way.

Step by step, time is fast passing, the day is very late but I have not arrived yet. I am so tired and sleepy that I can no longer hold it. But I kept pushing it and it's been seen my home from a distance. I rushed my feet there.

I was so happy when I got into the house. My father was waiting for me. My father was worried about me. Moreover, he was shocked when he saw the scratches on my cheek.

“You why, Mal?” asked my father to raise his tone while he held my cheek.

“It's okay. I just fell down earlier,” I replied.

I deliberately lied to my father so that my father would not be shocked and anxious because of the incident. My father immediately took the wound medicine I used. Usually my wounds recover quickly if using the drug. My father put the medicine on my cheek and my injured leg and hand.

I then went to my room and prepared for bed. Before I go to bed I save my money. Then I slept on my comfortable bed.

As I closed my eyes, suddenly there was a loud bang from the sky and the water in my drinking bottle trembled strongly. I saw a window that there were people outside and panicked. I was so tired that I immediately went and ran out of the room. My father and mother who approached me also panicked and we went out of the house together. This incident only happened for a few seconds.

When everyone in front of the house the phenomenon is over. After a few minutes outside the house in a state of panic, people returned to their homes. After we entered the house, my mother immediately turned on the television and immediately opened the latest news.

“A new natural phenomenon has occurred again after thousands of years. People do not need to panic because this phenomenon is over. According to scientists and earthquake detection devices that this is not caused by an earthquake. This phenomenon is still being researched and sought out further information.”

That's what I saw and heard from the news today. I'm confused what just happened. A loud bang coming from the sky. Is this all from the sky I mean?
