On Sep 28th early morning around 3’o Clock in the morning I just woke up with the disturbed mixed feelings. From my bed i could see the dark night through the window and few cars passing by. i tried to fall back to sleep but i couldnt so i switched on my bedside reading lamp and started to go through some of my happy pictures. i heard a heavy explosion just above my floor which is very loud and scary. Right after the sound there was people started to scream, few mins later two more explosions. it didnt feel any good i put on my glasses and checked the window side its just as usual but the people started to scream louder this time.
I put on my eye glasses and walked to the otherside of the apartment where my housemate lives, that is our garden side, nothing was going right she was scared and stressed the smoke started to develop outside the building. we decided to get out of the apartment through the main door i ran to pick my phone and we open the apartment main door its heavy smoke our neighbor apartment is already damaged so quickly closed the door and went to the balcony side, the entire apartment was trying to call the police and fire engine services.
We been asked to lock the balcony doors and lay on the floor. the smoke was heavy, i could barely see anything outside . nearly an hour of time we been in the smoke, There are people who didnt had any balcony jumped through ropes from their apartment and injured.
We were just laying on the floor hearing people screaming for help. All i could think of is my life is coming to an end. I wrote to my work and two of my best friends about the fire. The rescue team with the helicopter rescued us from the apartment.
It was a rainy day so it was cold than other usual September days but i couldnt feel any cold, We were walking in bare foot on the other side of the garden. By the time the ambulance took the most injured ones to the hospital, We stayed back and hoping to go back to the apartment. however the firefighters couldnt control the smoke for several hours.
In the meantime we all been moved to the nearby church for hostage. the entire church was in sadness and pain. so many of them couldnt stop crying for hours. we been called for investigation with the police and several other newspapers started to reach my number for information.
I have lost everything i had, i felt walking naked without any security. that moment i felt the pain of millions of other homeless people how it is to live this feeling everyday. I was in deep pain and shock, its beyond my ability to cry. All the information i hear made me feel i had lost everything i had made in my last 36 years. My world had stopped spinning. It felt numb. there is absolutely nothing i could think of.
Its been a month we been homeless and no access to the apartment we lived, we have no idea what happened to all our things. We are not allowed to enter into the building until the building is safe to enter.
