Time to move night and when they wanted to go to sleep I was shocked by something that made this heart be faint. I see a disgusting little beast called cockroach near room door, this make my heart beating so hard. The animal flew into the bed even though the room was dark but ear captures his voice.
I immediately turned on the lights turned out the animal was perched just above the bed, was so much panic and I took the book my intention hearts would just throw the animal with the book but unfortunately it flew into the beast under the bed.
With a sinking heart I went instead of shaking the bed, a row of wish divine and hope the cockroach go away.
