While everyone was busy helping fellow affected by the building collapse. The rumbling sound of seawater was heard hitting hard and within seconds the sea water rose rapidly to the mainland sweeping away everything it passed through.
Crying screams were even among those who roared to witness the incident which only slightly described how the apocalypse would later take place. Takbir, tasbih said on everyone's lips while running from the ferocious pursuit of the waves called the tsunami. Only the ruins of the remains of buildings that they sometimes recognize or not. This is a disaster that resembles the apocalypse for every eye who sees how high waves of sea water hit the land. No one expected this to happen. Some people do not believe that sea water rises to land.
“Sea water rising, sea water rising!”
“Is the Amat crazy? Why is he screaming the sea water up. There are only children today.”
Such are the words that come out of everyone's mouth when they see some others running fast as if someone is chasing. But that's what happened, high waves hit the coast of Aceh, sweeping away everything on land. Tsunami, that's the name given by the Japanese to the disaster.
By the time they believed it, the sea had already brought them along with everything found on land. Even the Floating PLTD that was originally located in Ulee Lheue Port with a weight of 2,600 tons is impossible to act on the place according to the human mind. But, it happened. The ship was dragged by sea water as far as 2.4 km to destroy everything that was passed until there was nothing left.
The cry for help of people who drift continues to echo in various directions. Some people who were on the roof of the building could only see that they did not dare to help. All were in a state of shock because during their lives, only this time saw such an almighty disaster.
“Abu..”.
“Umi..”
“Cut..”
“Rendra..”
“Oeekkk..”
“Oekkk.
Iskandar was separated from his mother's arms. Little Rendra got carried away in nowhere. Separate Abu and Umi and Cut?”
The tsunami scattered the Abu family on Sunday morning as the whole family was playing together in the front yard. Therefore, their families were not hit by the ruins of the house.
Now everything is broken like Cut's heart. They just cry while calling out the name of the creator, begging for mercy when they are afraid, and some of them forget when they are happy.
There is nothing left for those who live on the coast. It was then that the greatness of the creator was able to awaken men if they were weak, their degrees the same. Tsunamis do not choose those who are noble or not. The tsunami brought everything that was hit. So did the Cut family. Tsunami had separated them, Mae who was selling in the market was surprised and ran towards Baiturraman Mosque while crying in memory of Abu.
Mae stared around him, some of them ethnic Tiong Hoa who had long settled in Aceh. The non-Muslims apparently believed the mosque as a safe place and it turned out that their beliefs were correct.
Baiturrahman Mosque is a silent witness where all the surrounding buildings were destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami but the mosque still stands strong.
Like there was a miracle on that day, the black and hot sea water was supposed to enter the mosque but who would have thought. The power of Allah, the water did not enter the mosque. Everyone inside the mosque survived, including the ethnic Tiong Hoa.
All panic including Mae. He continued to search and ask the people he met inside the mosque. Some of the people he knew gave him answers that almost drove him crazy.
“There's no more, Mae. Everything is equal land.”
A few hours after the water had completely receded, still in a state of shock, they continued to walk in a direction that was not hit by the tsunami. On a hill near the army headquarters was built a large tent for the refugees.
Now under the tent of the TNI all the survivors are gathered, do not ask how they look or their physical condition. Everything seemed chaotic, some were injured, some were just wearing shorts, what a stifling sight to the chest.
There was no medical assistance, as the medical workers available at the time were unable to deal with the estimated number of casualties of hundreds of thousands.
State of Disaster Emergency…
The reinforcements did not arrive until the sun began to rise. The water has receded so that what remains on the mainland is debris and bodies and even fishing boats are carried over to the top of the houses.
Mae left the mosque to see the condition of her skeleton. Some traders do the same. He also met with Pak Cek Amir and Mak Cek Siti with his two children. Mak Cek Siti and Intan only use the same level clothes as Faris with his shorts like waking up.
“How's your shop?”
“I don't think of the took, Mr. Cheque. I remember Abu. I want to go home first.”
“Forging...”.
Just a step Mae was about to leave the market, the atmosphere was back boisterous by the aftershocks. Traumatized residents ran straight to the mosque as soon as the aftershocks came. They run together towards the mosque and again Mae has to endure her tears at the thought of the fate of the family she loves so much.
“Pray! Hope they are okay.”
Hany is what Mr. Cheque Amir can tell Mae, while he himself was pessimistic to see how the area around the market was destroyed by the earthquake.
An old lady in distress calmed a baby who kept crying inside the mosque. Mae who saw the grandmother then approached. He who used to Rendra and Iskandar a little know how to calm the baby plus, he felt sorry for the old grandmother.
“Sini Nek, let me help.”
Mae was agitated and sad but she was unable to see the old grandmother in distress. This disaster made many people realize that what they had been arrogant about meant nothing. In fact, how much gold jewelry was strewn among the rubble. In fact, some of the jewelry is still in bodies that are not alive.
The creator has shown how worthless the treasure is in this world. We can't even take it to death then why are we still so arrogant about it all? If the dead could rise up and say that to us. Will we change or remain ignorant?
By the time they had seen how terrible the small apocalypse was but there were still some who were not aware until they easily took the jewels in the bodies of the mayors. Weapons that were difficult yesterday can now be scattered among the rubble. No one wants it anymore. Only people with black and blind hearts would take such things.
“Kayak never saw.”
