10 Chapter:10- When I Aren't Able To See You, I Miss you.

(Martin POV)

"Help me, please!!"

"be there don't try to stand on your foot."

I saw a man was pleasing for my support to stand. but as I saw his condition was not that much good that he can make himself stand properly I asked him to lay down where he is currently is. after the disaster scene, the whole of the town is in fear. I can see in their faces who they look so terrified. it was like, they have seen death in front of their faces, I can understand and I'm not going to blame them to be in this state either. that was too much for a normal person to take into account.

this all. had happened when I was going to the supper market for having some material for tonight dinner in the shopping district. they sell pretty cheaply and fresh and good quality products mainly organic matters. and it's also easy to bargain with them about the price in comparison to the mall where they have a fixed rate😑. you know kind of stuff. this shopping district was not in open ground it. there were narrow buildings and a road straight passes through the market. but the driving inside of the market is forbidden due to the people's populations and narrow roads. it somehow reminds me of the Sakchi market (Jamshedpur, Jharkhand in India.) I use to go there on Holliday to my aunt. I was lucky enough that I take cover when the earth starts to shake. I was unharmed but the people in the shopping district have taken some damages though. so here I am helping them out to get to the safe place.

"Uncle, is there any void place/open ground nearby?"

"yes, there is an empty ground beside of that building."

"can you please help me take these people to that side of the building. it will be safer for these people."

"Ya, sure."

he nodded his head and started to help me out. I was not much familiar with this place it's the third time I was here to make a visit. so I was not having much info about this place.

besides on my 3rd time, the market has taken so much damage like I can't picture it what it was before, even It will have a reconstruction after sometimes, it will not the same as before.

recovery is a slightly slow process, I can't assure that how the market will be in future after reconstruction, but, I can assure everything will be gonna back to normal in some times. when I get back to the situation, I can see the people around me were suffering a lot. I was helping them to stand on their feet. and taking them to the empty ground nearby.

I saw several people have taken some minor injury. and some were aren't able to stand. so I was playing to gather people to a safe zone away from. the destructed area. until the troops came and join their hands. and it was good too as the magnitude has struck the city the wrecked buildings were unable to stand properly, and one of the facts is that the wrecked parts of the building kept falling randomly any time. so it's better to maintain people's distances from the area. that's not just the problem but the common connection like electricity and water were completely block.

"That was too bad."

I later gather some of the people from the market to make temporary emergency troops including me, to help people in need. and a centre where we have to gather all the people for the first aid, there was mostly women volunteer for aid task. I asked them to look after the people in the centre. we were on the mission to find those people in need although we have no experience for this type of emergency situation so we decided not to go inside of the wrecked apartment and buildings. as we can't we help in that circumstance. we aren't have training or regimen for that. if we interfere we take the risk for our lives and others too. instead of helping, we might make troubles. so, we just entered the destroys area to help those which we can help. and to take a note of the dilemma, it will be easier for the troops afterwards.

"Can you please help me."

"yes, what is it?."

I saw a girl child, she grabs my pant on the right side of it. she was looking terrified but still, she has the courage to ask for help.

"I lost my mother can you please help me find her? I don't know where is she now."

she started crying while having this conversation with me.

she was asking me to help her find her mother. I know it's hard for a child to get separated from her mother especially in this type of situation when child need yo have their guardian guarding beside them. I asked her name and take her hand with the smile on my face and take her to the emergency centre where women were helping others to aid their wounds. and ask her to stay there with the women. until her mom can found.

I was thinking about my friends. are they safe? I wasn't able to call them I lost my phone while taking cover. and now I was unable to make contact with anyone of them. even I asked other people for their phones I do not remember phone no. of anyone of them😬. so I left that part and only really at my home to hear the safe and sound voices of my mom and dad, this much is enough for me for now. but, still, I was worried about my friends, like a lot this is the situation. I should be worried about them and specify that particular person.

no,

it's not Eric.

the particular person I consider and mentioned here is.....

"Mint."

"shall we go?"

We should."
