Journey to Malaysia prt 1

In 2014, I got this news ,that we are moving to Malaysia. I had mixed feelings about the news. I love Bangladesh as my own country, I grew up there, my childhood, friends and everything is Bangladesh.I didn't wanted to leave, but a part of the 9 year old me was excited. Excited about the adventures that I may encounter, a whole new place, new people, new culture, new languages and most importantly my father. I can see him, like all my friends, I can see my father! As long as I can remember, my father left for Malaysia when I was around 3 and a half years old. So,my memories of him aren't clear, I knew how he looked only because of the photos. Since he left I have only seen my mother, and didn't get much attention from her ,since she was busy taking care of my younger sis and my older brother. So,when I knew we will be moving to Malaysia, I was excited to see my father to have a full family, "I will also get the same amount of attention!" was the only thing that was in my mind.

It took few weeks to arrange everything, like selling out our furniture and valuables. I was very excited but was disappointed when I knew we aren't flying to Malaysia, we can't because we are refugees. We were going by water and not legally.

And we won't directly board the boat,but will first go to Myanmar, and from there we will take the boat to Malaysia. I was excited about going to Myanmar, even though i am from Myanmar, i don't have memories of being there.So,seeing my home country before going was a good news for me.

A week before our departure to Myanmar, my mom didn't had to enter the kitchen. All our neighbors prepared feast for us.The day we left, everyone was crying out loud, it hurted me to leave the people, who are like my family and leave the place where I grew up. We left with tears.

We took a bus to a place from where we will take the boat to Myanmar (I dont remember the name).it was pretty late when we reached our destination, I was sleepy, but couldn't sleep because we didn't knew when our boat may arrive. it was around 2 am when I was shocked by mom to wake up , "Get up ,the boat is here, don't you want to see your nana?" said my mom.We walked for good 20 minutes before I was picked up and was putted on the boat, it was small ,I couldn't see the colour because of the darkness. I sat beside my brother, the boat was sailing peacefully, the water was calm, it was full moon, the moon shone brightly. Everything was going smoothly, I was feeling sleepy, so i rested my ting head on my brother's shoulder.I was about to close my eyes and go to my dream land when suddenly I heard a scream "Stop the boat!". Came a call ,the boat stopped sailing, the other boat came closer ,I saw 2 tall man ,standing ,one had a long gun and the other had a long sword. They pointed the weapon at us and asked....
