Storm surge

"I'm sorry..please forgive me, I just did that because the kitchen is in chaos. The staffs are going crazy because you stole almost half of the peanut kisses that they made..."

I nod at him.

"So am I really forgiven?" He said while beaming his colgate smile.

"Whatever, just go away I don't have an appetite to eat anyway. And sorry to burst your bubbles but you know, I wouldn’t walk you to Hanuel if that’s the reason why you’re here." I said at him.

"Okay, if that's what you want. This beef with broccoli looks delicous and a chili-garlic rice will be a great combination. Thanks for the meal!"

I left him while he's busy munching on my supposed to be meal and went to my makeshift room.

"Hija you better escape now, while they're not here. Go to the right wing in third room on the left. Theres a secret door under that bed. Use it so that you could save yourself." Tita Lie said.

"But tita how about you?" I ask her while my tears were cascading my face.

"We can manage it hija, but you must go since you didn't fully recovered yet. At the end of the tunnel someone's waiting for you there. You go with him, he will bring you to a safe place." She point the gun at me.

"Auntie what are you doing?!"

"I said go!"

"But-"

"No more buts! Don't try my patience dear or I pull this trigger. Now!"

She fires the gun at my left foot and I shouted because I thought she will shot directly at my left but she just fires it at the wooden floor.

"Run!"

After she shouted at me we heard an explosion in the gate.

"They're already here! Run!"

I run until I reach the third room and crawl under the bed. I search for the secret door and luckily I didn't have a hard time in finding it.

I am panting heavily after I got out of that tunnel.

"Here...drink it to quench your thirst,"

I glance at the guy who gives me a sparkling water. The first thing that I notice about him is his eyes. His heterochromia eyes, which it gives him a more appealing look. I just can't take my eyes off at him, I was still fascinated by his eyes. Which has a deep blue colored on his left eye, while in his right eye is grey colored. It's his eyes that made me fall fast and hard enough.

I was taken aback when he waves his hand at my face.

"Hey, are you okay?"

I nod at him.

He takes my hand and pulls me in a tight hug.

"It's you," he said in a hoarse voice.

I opened my eyes, I was dreaming about him again.

"Hey you okay?" Hanuel ask me.

"Yeah... I was just dreaming,"

"Is it about him?"

I just nod at her and I go back to sleep again.

---------

I wake because of a sound of a rain in a roofs. It's like a tons of nails are being poured in the roofs because of it's metallic sound as the raindrop touches the roof. I look at our sorroundings it is still dark outside but you could see the silhoutte of the coconut trees that being blown by the wind. It keeps on swaying in the rythm of the wind. You could hear that some branches of the big trees that are being snap by wind force. Then suddenly all the lights were turned off.

The staffs gives us the emergency kit bags. We light some candles and make a big circle in the center and we starts to pray a rosary.

After we pray we settle ourselves sitting on cross leg on the floor as we observe how the wind get stronger and stronger.

We all shouted when the glass window breaks by the branch of the acacia tree thatbeing blown by the wind. The staffs instructed us to stay calm and don't panic. Because it's still dark outside, we can't see clearly if the sea level risen up or not. Plus theres a total black out in the region.

I look at the wall clock to see what time is it. It is past four o'clock in the morning but the winds were strong enough to blow a house that is made of wood. It is really a super typhoon.

We were eating our breakfast when we heard a crashing sound. We look at the stairs below there are already some sea water that enters the building and in an instant it surge upto the third floor. The whole floor is in a complete chaos. Everyone is fighting to get their own life vest. I was being drag by the force of the water and my head got hit in the glass wall. I starts to hear a buzzing noise in my head. Everyone's starts to panic. I put my all so that I could stand up while enduring the pain from my head. I grab the fire extinguisher and throw it on the glass wall to make an opening because the water is getting deeper and deeper.

After how many tries the glass got broken.

Finally we can leave now.

"Guys! Hurry up before this whole floor will be full of water," I shouted at them.

One by one they swim out of the building, because it is the only safe choice that we have. Since for sure the rooftop is fall of debris of falling trees. It is the safer way than to stay in that building and get drowned.

I was about to jump but I saw a girl around my age who is limpinh on the floor.

"Help me..." she said.

"Hanuel, wait.."

"What is it, there's a girl she's limping and doesn't have a life vest. I need to get her."

"Okay, I'll wait you here. Just make it fast the water is already on our knee level." She said.

I hurriedly went to her and assisted her to walk until we reach near the opening.

"Wait, can you swim?" I asked her. She shake her head. I take off my life vest.

"Here, use it." I help her wear the life vest.

I turned to Haneul. "You ready?"

They both nod their head.i

"Okay at the count of three. We'll swim, okay?"

I take a deep breath. "Okay, One! Two! Three!"

We both swim out of that building.

"Okay! Don't loosen your grip!" I shout at the both of them. As we hold each other's hand.

But maybe lady luck is not on my side, I got carried away by the water since the current is too strong and I got seperated from them. I was swim and swim until I see a banana tree that keeps on floating. I swim towards it and use it as my floater.
