Ilhamdulah!

The water finally came!

Last week, the water stopped coming. Usually we just turn on the motor and the water tank fills up, and we're good for the next two days or so. But last week, it just stopped coming. And didn't come back.

The dishes piled up, clothes could not be washed. I bathed using the drinking water. I polled the neighbors, and found out it was at least a building-wide problem. Until the 4th day in, when the across-the-hall neighbors' water magically returned but the upstairs neighbors and I were without.

Then, after six days, just like in the Bible, a miracle happened and water returned.

And the seventh became a day of washing and thanking the Lord and taking showers. There was much cheering and the clanking of dishes.
