I heard something and I thought I was dreaming, I looked
around in the dark, tried to lift my sleepy head. I saw the clock on the bed side
table it was still 3am early morning. I
should not go back to sleep, I thought, as I would be late for school at 7am. I
heard the sound of the wind blew really hard as if it swirled in front of our
bedroom window. The window glasses were shaking and made a lot of noise. My head
told me to stay awake but my eyes were too heavy to stay open. I felt asleep
again although I remembered I could still hear the sound of the wind, swirled,
hurled things up, banged windows and windows’ shutters. Storm, I thought, maybe
the school would have to close today due to this hard wind, and I fell asleep again.
A moment later I woke up with eyes open wide when the glasses
of our bedroom window shook and made such a loud noise as if they would shatter
in no time soon. I heard things fell and the sound of our plastic buckets hit
the fence of the balcony. I remembered my laundry clips, many must have been blown
away already, I thought. Oh well, a reason to buy new laundry clips. The
swirling sound of the wind continued until it was time for us to get up our bed
and get ready for school. It happened
that I was scheduled to substitute a Physic teacher who took his personal day on
that very day. I was grateful Jos didn’t have to go alone through a hard win
that morning.
