Sawarga said it while crying, I felt sad too, I've been with her for ten years and know very well hows her life was. Now Sawarga was seventeen years old and when she was ten her parents get divorced. So since then I was the only friend that Sawarga had, and vice versa. I didn't want to blame her, as a cat I knew I couldn't fulfill all the feels that Sawarga needs. I just prayed that Sawarga would come back and get more attention from her family.

In the morning I woke up and felt something strange. I see the sky looks unusual. I'm feeling a bit unwell. I walked to see Sawarga and mother before sheleft for school, but my sickness couldn't be stopped. I behaved strangely as if restless and rolling on the floor.

"Bhumi, what's wrong with you?," asked Sawarga while picking me up.

I didn't know, I felt very uneasy, even the first time I stepped on the floor I felt a strange vibration. I knew Sawarga and mother wouldn't feel it, but I did. So when Sawarga left for school, I also walked out to find out the cause of my strangeness.

I felt the blowed wind doesn't like usual, as if giving a warning. Even I could feel the vibrations on the ground and trees that are not like usua too. I look forward birds flying restlessly away from this area. I saw land animals such as ants, worms, cockroaches, rats, and others also walking in the same direction with the birds.

So I asked Mocco, the cow tied to a bar, "What's going on? Why are all the animals behaving so strangely?"

Mocco looked at me wistfully, "Can't you feel it? Feel the anger of nature? You're lucky you can run now, it's hard for me to run".

I stared in disbelief. Yes, I could feel this vibration was the vibration of wrath from nature. Animals did have the instinct to sense natural disasters before humans. I didn't know if this was an advantage for animals so we can save ourselves first and didn't have to felt the consequences of human actions or this as a warning to humans as well.

I realized out of my reverie and quickly clawed at Mocco's bonds then ran back into the house. Even I didn't know how, but I would try to tell mother. When I got home, I found mother receiving a phone call from the school about Sawarga being involved in a wild race last night which resulted an accident. After that, mother hung up the phone and sobbed. I tried to get closer to tell her about what's going to happen that we should get out of here quickly but mom wasn't listening at all. She didn't even glanced at me who was already rolling around and meowing loudly. I saw that the television broadcast which still played on without even mother noticing, began to display strange signs like blinking. I looked at the ceiling and I could feel the lamp were shaking a little too, very little.

So I ran to the beach to wait Sawarga to come home from school. I could feel the wind howling hardly. The sea waves sounded unusually rumbling. More and more animals are moving out of this area with the same direction.

Oh God, isn't there a single human whso is aware of these signs?
