Only two days before the Eid al-Fitr celebration, which marked the end of the Islamic holy quarter, the last Friday blessings for Ramadan were held on March 28.
Sein, a 13-year-old Mandalay native, was listening as his Imam preached at a mosque close to his house.  ,
The dome shook and the ground suddenly sprang to life.  ,
” Everyone ran and scattered. When I reached my dad, he instructed me to remain calm and don’t run around. This expire while praying if we’re going to die, he said.  ,
We then continued to pray. Our dome appeared to shake back and forth as if I suddenly felt like I was being fiercely pulled by somebody.”
Sein stepped out onto the streets and saw several outside stores collapse when the numbness subsided.  ,
The teenager’s fear and déjà nostalgia was suffocated by the horrific picture.  ,
PAINFUL MEMORIES  ,
When Cyclone Mocha slammed into Myanmar, along Myanmar’s eastern coast, causing sluggish weather and winds, Sein lost his mother and younger brother less than two years ago.  ,  ,
When it made land in May 2023, the fatal cyclonic storm caused at least 145 fatalities in the nation and caused hundreds of thousands ofdisplaced people.  ,
” I observed the sea levels rising, and waters flooded everything, even the tower where we sat. He remarked,” I had to float to get away.
His family was five months along at the moment.  ,
” I sobbed a bit. My mother is undoubtedly gone. Mum has done anything for our house since I was a child, he said, his voice ringing with pain.  ,
” I prayed to Allah, and I asked him to take my mother to sky. Please give us all to heaven if we lose our lives in this disaster so we can join her once more.
QUAKE  SAKES NEW LIFE,
Sein rushed back to the apartment he shared with his new home when the earth suddenly started to shake from the 7.7-magnitude disaster.  ,
Sein has a younger sister while his parents has since remarried. A month after Cyclone Mocha, they left Myanmar to begin a new life in Mandalay.  ,
The tie in his chest tightened as he raced past crumbling structures in the earthquake.  ,
He was sadly found his household unharmed, though shaken by the strong tremors.  ,
” The wind hit me,” I said. I experienced the disaster. He said,” I don’t want ( natural disasters ) any more.  ,
