On Wednesday afternoon (May 14, 2025), rain began to fall over Komba-komba Village, Pasimaranu District. The weather, initially bright, turned cloudy by midday, followed by a light but steady rain.
Despite not being heavy, the rain disrupted daily activities—some villagers were caught in their gardens, while others rushed to secure their belongings. Household chores were affected too, with laundry left damp and trips for important errands, like money transfers, becoming difficult due to the wet conditions.
As the rain fell, some residents were seen running for cover, while others chose to stay indoors. One village office worker, feeling unwell, spent the day working from home, writing reports while watching the rain through the window. Though simple, today’s rain brought a small shift in rhythm, adding a quiet, reflective tone to village life.
