Mystery

On a fine morning, again my day started with hearing a lot of arguments among my parents. I reached my school sadly and it was also my pre-exam revision time. So I was a little bit tense about my exams and scores. After the session over, I received my mathematics paper on that day and I scored first in my class which was never happened in the academic year. I was quite surprised and happy with my results and went back to my home. My mom and dad were waiting for my arrival as every student had reached their home. Due to my test paper distribution, I was a little late on reaching my home. When I entered I just started to scream about my results and I was never happy like that too. My mom appreciated me for the work I had done. But my dad maintained a dead silence. It was a shocking and different experience for me. Usually, my dad is such a person who always encourages and motivates others for their works. Still, he knew that I'm not good at mathematics and I scored first in my class he didn't even utter a single word. It made me feel so bad that he didn't even appreciate me for my score. Then we all together had our lunch with the great silence. After lunch, I started to prepare for my exam. But I felt a severe headache so I left my study room and accompanied my mom for some time. Later I slept along with her there itself. After a few hours, I just heard a screaming sound near my study room. I suddenly rushed there and notified that she was screaming after seeing something strange inside my study room. I went inside and shattered completely after seeing that my dad was lying down unconsciously. The moment completely shook my life and changed everything forever. And we rushed him to the hospital but there they declared him as dead. This will be the hardest thing for a daughter to face such an incident in her life. I can't even express my agony which I had gone through that time. And I started to realize how hard it would be for someone when they lost the person who was very close to them. I cried in such a way that my whole world got destroyed in a fraction of seconds. I started to blame myself that if I didn't leave my study room such an incident would not have occurred. I was just praying for some miracle which will bring him back in my life. I wish for a single chance to reverse all the incidents that had happened. Suddenly I got a jerk and everything started to gets fade. I was opening my eyes slowly and noticing that I was sitting inside my school bus and so far what I visualized is the nightmare which I never want to happen in my life. The bus had only very few meters to reach my stop. I put my head out of the window and waited for the moment when I would reach my stop. I was astonished by seeing my dad at the stop in the street corner. He was waiting for my school bus to take me home back. I was eagerly waiting for the moment to reach the stop.Till that moment I was holding the tears in my eyes.After getting down from the bus, I just ran out in such a way and hugged him tightly and said never leave me alone pa... I miss you a lot and my tears rolled out from my eyes. Still, he didn't understand the reason why I cried but he promised me that he never leaves his little girl alone in this world at any cost.I questioned myself, Is my ego, attitude and grievances are more than my loved ones? Is it worth our life than the happiness of our own? From this, I found a solution to all of my questions.Unless and until any things go unexpectedly, we don't even have an idea of what we had lost. We always value the materialistic things but we failed to see the real worth of abstract things which is the most beautiful base of everyone's life that is nothing but love and care for each other. We never knew the moment when we leave our loved ones, so till we are alive try to stay together and spent some happy time with them. Forgive and forget about all the bad things which give us pain, make sure that you are happy with your loved ones forever. Maybe I got the dream due to some unpleasant things that happened in my home which gave me a deep thought on it. Once the moment is elapsed we never get back that again. In the same way, once we lost a person we never get them back. Till we are surviving we have the precious chance to enjoy every second by spreading happiness. There are a lot of people in the world who don't even have a family. When we are blessed with such gifts why we have to take them in a granted way. Try to maintain our peace and happiness even when we are struggling with family issues. Because love is the only thing that has the power to heal and change the worst scars to invisible marks. Love is the reason for our existence in this world.If we hate ourselves we start to hate the world. In this world, we don't know how much span we are going to lead, yet we can do promise to ourselves that we can maintain the harmony of our life. Always have a smile on your face which keeps you more energetic and also spreads the positive energy to our loved ones.I wish I never like to have such a dream or any incident in my life or to my friends who are all reading this. Stay safe and live happily forever..
