My feet are still shaking. My husband took a mat for where we were sitting.
The earthquake happened again, and I saw a lot of people passing by and passing by on the street in front of my house They said there was a notice that there was going to be a Tsunami.
My children who heard it were terrified.
" lady... Is there really going to be a tsunami?" Ask Azka.
"Stay calm, dear.. Pray to God if we are given salvation and protection. Yes baby..." I said calm my children. Then I kissed them one by one.
Aldi called.
"Ma... How's it going there, Ma? Aldi's worried about Maa..Aldi got information there would be a tsunami. Really Ma?" Ask Aldi.
I could feel the worry and fear that Aldi felt
"Aldi, the earthquake was very big, about 5 minutes. And aftershocks still occur today even if the scale is small. There's no announcement yet about the tsunami, son. You pray there.. " I said to calm Aldi down.
"Ma... Aldi's afraid of anything happening with the sisters and the family all there." Aldi said and then switched his call to a video call.
I received the video call. ..
"Maaa... Aldi wants to see all Ma. But why is it dark Ma?"
"Yaa . here dark Al.. The lights suddenly went out after the earthquake. My son... Calm your mind there yaa..."
"yes Ma..."
"Aldi.. later Mama transfer money yes, just in case there." I said.
"But Ma... Wh-wh-what for? Is it so bad there, Ma?"
"Not really, son... Stay calm ... Now Aldi is praying for salvation and protection to God for all of us here..."
"Yes Ma..."
"Here look at your sisters.. And this is Papa dear..." I said while switching the video camera.
"Now it was... Mama's gonna call again." I said. Aldi nodded and I ended the call.
I then took out some mats and carpets, pillows and blankets for my children. It is likely that we will sleep outside, because the earthquake still occurs even though the scale is small.
Many neighbors slept in my yard.
Rendi called me again. And I also accept it.
"Fra... Where are you now?"
"Please evacuate Ar. We don't know what the situation will be like. Fear there'll be a bigger aftershock." Said Rendi full of anxiety.
"Yes Ren... But I think I'll stay home first. Wait what my husband said. " I said.
" Ooh that... Yesa.. My contact points are Ar... "
"Good Ren. Makasi.. Greetings to your wife.. "My eyes and the call end Rendi.
I don't know why I felt something was awkward when Rendi called. Because Rendi never called me but why suddenly Rendi called me.
I was thinking, this must be Pram's. Because Pram can't call me.
I didn't realize my husband was watching me .
"Ma, who did you call from?" Ask husband.
"From Rendi Pa's... Rendi suggested that I evacuate. There was a bigger aftershock." Said explain.
"Ooh... I guess who."
" I think we'll see how things go...Later if the situation is increasingly troubling, we are forced to evacuate. "My husband's words.
" Yes Pa..."
"Ma... Arjun hasn't come home yet, Ma?" Ask husband.
"Not yet Pa... Probably still on Pa's road...Just pray for Pa."
.
"Yeah Ma... "
"Ma, maybe Mama can prepare a potluck meal for the kids. The kids seem hungry." Husband says.
"Yeah Pa... I'm ready to ." I said as I tried to get into the kitchen frying my eggs. Because my legs are still shaking and there is a feeling of fear just in case when I am inside the house suddenly there is an aftershock.
Once the food was ready, I hurried out and gave the food to my children.
And before long my son Arjun also came from the east, and immediately hugged me. I saw that there was still fear and trauma.
"Already Son... This is a drink first, baby, and then you eat with your sisters. " I said as I poured him a glass of water.
"Yes Ma..."
Then we had dinner together. And at night we slept on the porch of the house with some neighbors who also held a mat.
