A Miracle " Once in a life time "

A wide-open stadium covered by approx 2 Million individuals who are just here to support a man that they believe in and that they care about. The lights are so bright, if I try then I can see everyone's face and I drop my shoulder to show some power and confidence. The spotlight hit my face clear and bright, they were all 2 Million people looking at me. I haven't said anything but they start chanting my name louder and louder. A wide screen behind showcases all of 20 years of work and fame, everyone is watching by screaming my name. Today, I am the Moon but why? You will know at the end. Slowly and gradually my heart starts racing and I look the dead into the eye of the camera without saying a word. Suddenly everyone stops screaming and the whole place full of 2 Million people just stayed silent for 2 minutes straight.

Let's start from the start, I grew up in the most beautiful family ever because most have a similar age to me and they all are crazy and vulnerable like me. We have a head of a family which we called the father and we have sisters which are more like a mother to us. They care so much and they love every child. I don't when I came to that orphanage but they never talked about it even if I asked many many times. We had a routine there which I like the most, we have to wake up every morning earlier than the sun and then we do some exercise, I think I am good at it. Then, we play some outdoor games to pump our energy and after that, we do some swimming in the nearby pond. We pray and then we eat tasty foods. Then studying a lot about our history and other histories, the good thing about that place is that there is no restriction on studying, we can study whatever we want. My close friends are Ricky and peter, they are the most supportive individuals and also the most annoying person ever. We three are the heart of our football team, coach sir always appreciates our interest and talent, he is working harder than us to make us strong. Sometimes, he become rude to us but after that, he also gave us motivational speeches to cheer us. He is a good guy, I know I wasn't that old to understand what was going around me because I was just 5 years old.

One day, I and my friend rocky playing chess and peter is our audience. Then suddenly someone knocks on my door and we quickly hide the chess and we all move to our bed and pretended like we are sleeping, it was father Marcus. He switch on the light and then we slowly woke up to pretend like we just woke up but he knew us very well. He politely said my friends to move to the hall and tell me to stay there because he want to say something. My friends waved bye and move towards the main hall then my father closes the door and approached me. I have no idea what was going on and then he reached to my bed and slowly sat on the side of the bed. My shoulder is resting on one side of the bed, my blanket completely covers me to my chest, and my hands are resting on each other outside the blanket. Suddenly, Father's hand approaches one of my hands and he politely holds it with his both hands. He starts saying, My son, I have something to say, and carefully listen to me. I replied yes, I will father tell me. His sounds are fumbling and it's shocking for me because I never see him like that. He start talking with a deep voice and a sad tone, I knew something is wrong. Whatever he's saying I start imagining.

A stormy night filled with black and dark clouds, with every spark of lightning raining increasing. Everywhere is flooded with water, I was 3 years old holding my mother tightly because I was afraid of the sounds that clouds made. My father was downstairs to bring some blanket cause temperature quickly reduces, I and my mom were staying on the first floor of the small beautiful house. Suddenly a car crashes in the corner of the building, my father quickly goes there to check what happened. I and my mom were watching him from the window. He approaches the car but no one survived. Suddenly a big flow of water came towards our house and dragged my father with the speed of a bullet, my mother starts screaming my father's name but he was gone. My mom want to go check on my father but she can't leave me alone there, so she stayed with me but never stopped screaming his name. It's been an hour and then we saw someone fighting for his life and moving towards our house. He barely made any move against the flow but he didn't stop pushing and dragging himself against all odds. He holds that car and drags himself outside that flood and lays down the top of the car. He took some breaths because he was tired. My mother screamed his name again then he waved at her like he was okay. Slowly came to us and hold us both tightly and said I will never leave you, both of you. With the spark of bright lightning, we all are stunned for a moment. That lightning must be for 10 seconds but it was so bright we can see the whole destruction around, suddenly my father and mother stand looking towards the window. They are standing there like lifeless creatures, with no sign of any emotions because it was the tsunami that approached us which was higher than three-storey building. Without wasting a second, they quickly run towards me and my mom lift me. Then we all quickly move towards the top of the house which is only 3 stories tall building, we all hold each other as if it was the last moment of our life then at least we are together. Then, the water hits the building and completely demolishes our house and we are dragged with the flow. My father face us and his back fighting against the flow of the water, my mother faced toward the flow and his back is strong against the flow and I was in the middle of them crying with full strength. If I can remember them then, this is a proud moment. Then, something very big thing hit my father in the head and he gets unconscious but he still strongly holds us. A minute before with a lot of blood loss, he died but still held us. My mother stopped crying and screaming too because an iron rod penetrate my mother's heart and she suddenly died. Their body becomes lifeless but their strength keeps me safe. After hitting, drowning, dragging, and continuous pain, they protect me from everything that tries to hit me. Don't know how but I survived.

Father showed me the news of that day when approx 3 people died and 5 were severely damaged because of that tsunami. When everything was silent and the tsunami fade away, sister Fiona saw two dead bodies flowing toward the field and she suddenly called the police. They found a boy who's still breathing after all these, my sister named me ' Miracle ' and make me a part of their family. A family of good people where everyone supports each other and cares about each other. On that day, they volunteer and help many people to go through that catastrophic day. They brought me into their lives and treat me as one of them. Father suddenly clears his throat and says, the reason I want to share your story with you is that we may lose you in a couple of days. He said someone wants to adopt me, he said ' always remember who you are, you are Miracle and now I know why my name is Miracle. Then, he hugs me and comforts me with his wise words. There is always some reason and it's your destiny to be the miracle for this world don't you ever think that you are alone because you have us and we have you no matter what.

The next day, everything changed because I taking so doing anything because I was thinking too much about my parents I want to know how they look and I want to know their names but I think it was all washed away with the water. The next day after the prayer, my father came to me and said "I know that you've lots of questions but I can say one thing, no one knows who they are but we know they are strong parents who did everything to save you. Remember miracle, what happens in the past must be stayed in the past cause in the matter to move forwards you have to keep moving forward. You can't walk forward by looking backward. Today is a big day because someone is coming to make you a part of their family like us. He bend his knees to match my height and put his hands on my both shoulders and said " Are you okay my son? " then I nodded yes. Then the door of the church suddenly opens with a bright light and two-person approaches the door. At that moment, they are like angels coming from heaven and slowly coming toward us. There are big windows made up of glass and also in that glass, there are lots of artistic symbols drawn with wonderful colors which filtred the sunlight focus directly to these two new strangers. I can't see them cause the light is so bright on their faces and their shadows quickly touch my soul. Slowly I can see their smiling and happy faces, the woman looks brave, gentle, and strong and the man looks cheerful, funny, and brave. The woman slowly moves towards me but the man stays there, she quickly starts hugging me which feels like I found a home. She directly looks into my eyes, for the first time I saw clearly how beautiful and charming she is and her eyes get red and teary. It's strange for me but I understand how much they want someone in their life. She said "I can't wait to make you a part of our small family. The man starts approaching me and kneeling gently, he want to say something but it feels like he can't. After taking a deep breath he said, " we love to be your family". I finally found my new house where I can be with the family that loves me, care for me, and also save me from continuous pain. He stands up and starts talking to the father about adoption and something else, I don't want to listen to that so I move towards that woman. She tried hard to stop her tears and try to comfort me. Then she starts asking me about how I felt today. and what do I like or not? I love talking to her, she is my angel and I am her little angel. After completing all the papers and conundrums they came to take me with them.

Now, it's time to say goodbye to my old family to join my new family. For my entire life, I never saw that brave father crying but he cried and don't try to even hide his tears. He strongly hugs me so tight that I can easily count his heartbeats. He said " My son I know you have to go but always remember we are always your family no matter what happened, you are always welcome to this house to meet your father and sisters. Now I have to say goodbye to my friends rocky and peter, I dragged both of them towards me and hug them tightly. We all crying at that moment, rocky said in his fumbling voice " please don't forget us ". After saying goodbye to all my other friends, it's time to go. My new father hold my left hand and my mother hold my right hand, that moment was so trapped in my mind cause at that time I have everyone and everyone cheering for me. If I want to remember one moment in my life then I want to capture this moment for eternity. When souls are touched then there are no words that can explain that moment. Their names are also so beautiful, Merry and Brian. Brian quickly opens the door of the car for me and merry then he moves to the driving seat. A cold breeze flowed through the small holes of the window of the car, this doesn't feel real and I was thinking like it must be a dream and everything will changes when something worst happened at this very moment. Slowly my eyes come closer to each other and I found peace at that moment. In my dream, I was dreaming about my new mother and father and also dreaming about the very moment that morning when they first come to visit me. That moment was very dreamy and nothing seems like the things that I deserve, I thought that god give me more than what I deserved which made me vulnerable to the fact that life is very precious even on the bad days. My new mother and father don't bother to wake me because they think I deserve this silence and peace, I can't thank enough them for choosing all 40 children. I remember my father once said to us " it's really rare to find a new house and new family which love you like your real family but I guess I find one ". I guess "I am Miracle " or everything that happened to me is miraculous like the city which was flooded on that day is really rare incidents in history, before that or after that there are no such consequences arrises again. Also, I am the only person in that locality who survived that incident and after all this, I found a family which is ready to accept me with all my flaws and everything, it's a miraculous thing. I felt a very cold and shaky hand coming towards me and trying to gently wake me up with her angelic voice " hey miracle wake up we reached home ".

I slowly open my heavy eyelids and slowly but gradually my vision starts getting better and I saw a two-storey building with beautiful flowers in front of the house. My eyes are watching something very beautiful that my mouth can't elaborate but they are saying something I have to focus and try to understand what they trying to say. My father said " this is our small house which has enough space for our new member and I also have something gift for you, are you ready to go inside our heaven? " I nodded yes because I am out of words. He put his hands on my shoulder and slowly guided me towards the front of the house, I quickly turn my head backward to check on my mother then I saw she is slowly moving with us. I never thought someone can be that happy to have me, she is smiling the whole journey and also cried so many times. My father stops me at front of the door and said" I know it's hard for you to accept this place as your new house but if you choose to accept love then this place can be your new house. We lived here for around 25 years and it's everything for us and we try hard to make it beautiful for you too. Then he quickly open the door, and a little creature fully made up of soft fur quickly try to make eye contact with me. His innocent eyes tell everything, he wants to play with me. My new parents surprised me with the most angelic creature in this world, a cute little puppy. He quickly ran towards me and starts licking me like he found a new friend. He is my new friend. His name was Fluffy just like his appearance, he is so fluffy, cute, and adorable. The best time to watch his cuteness is when he wants food, he came to you and starts giving you lots of warm love and I can watch him all day. He sleeps very seriously like in his mind some story or dream is going on.

It's been 17 years since I last saw them and I never forget those moments lived with them, now everyone has left me and painted my whole world blue. I don't know if I am a miracle or not but one thing is sure, everything that happened is miraculous. To be continued...
