Car Ferry Hijacked! - a Reflective Statement

We did hear from some crew members, there were seven demands that the hijackers required have to be fulfilled by the council before they can release us. We were praying hard, sincerely hoping that a compromise will be reached between the council and hijackers. And we tried to persuade those crew members to release us, but actually they could make any decision. We actually feared the worst, worried that we might be sacrificed if the council never wanted to fulfill hijacker's needs.
I didn't know after how long, the door was being opened, thought that hijackers came in again to take their next action. Surprisingly, we saw a light of hope; a few navies came in and rescued us. Until that time only we realized that the hijackers had surrendered, gave up all their demands, except their leader. But soon the leader was under arrest by the council. As I was truly exhausted, everything blacked out after I saw a navy.
When I finally regained consciousness, I found myself lying on a hospital bed. I can happily admit that I never ever felt so much appreciation for a bed until that very moment.
