When I was a kid, I used to play hide and seek with friends. We used to play in
the yard behind my house. The yard was a perfect place because it was surrounded by
dense banana trees.

We usually played until late at night. One day, when I was trying to find a place
to hide among the banana trees, I slipped and fell into the river. I used to take a bath at
the river, but never at night! In the dark, everything looked different. I couldn't think
clearly, I felt something tickling my feet. 11 was struggling to go out, but my feet were
trapped in the mud.

Thank God, a friend finally came and helped me. He, then called others, and I
was saved

It was Sunday morning December 26th 2004. The day that I would never forget
forever. We went to the beach in Meulaboh, Aceh. Many people were there when I
arrived.

When we were enjoying the beautiful sunrise, suddenly we were shocked by a
violent shake in the ground. Everybody in the beach was panic. We soon realized that it
was a very big earthquake although it struck in a very short period of time. After that,
we saw the water going on into the middle of the sea. No wonder if there were many
kinds of fish left behind on the sand. We all seemed to be astonished by the view until
we realized that there was a huge wave coming towards us and destroying everything in
its way.I didn’t realize what had happened until I found myself hanging on a branch of a
tree.
