It’s been quite sometime since I really wrote something, its not that I didn’t made an effort, I did quite a few times but then somehow nothing seemed correct either I was at loss of words or was not too sure what I really wanted to write so it was just closing those files after scribbling something. Then last week my brothers's family met with an accident so was quite worried. With nothing else to write thought would sum up series of event in last week which definitely included quite a few tensed moments.
It was around 4 pm last week, when I was travelling and my bhabhi called up and said she and kids had met with a small accident and she was in a hospital. My brother had gone to Hyderabad on the same day early morning for his new job. I could feel the tension in her voice, she didn’t have courage to give more details nor did I have to ask anything further. I got down from my car at the nearest station, took the local train cause that was the fastest way to reach at that hour.
Till the time I reached the hospital all the worse thoughts crossed my mind, I just wanted them to be fine, I just kept praying to god, if anything has to go wrong let it be with me and not them. Finally I reached the hospital my five year nephew laid on the hospital bed, he was asleep due to sedatives, seeing bandages on his head and leg and bruises all across his lean body made my heart sink.
We had to take him for ct scan since he had stitches on his head so just to make sure there were no internal injuries, once my hubby reached we decided to take him for that. My little nephew was so much in pain even a feather touch would make him scream at that hour. I knew if I was there instead of him I would have been screaming in pain, I was bowled over after seeing the courage and patience he showed, we carried him for the ct scan and one could easily make out the amount of pain he was going through because of the travel and carrying him from one place to other, but he simply kept silent. It seemed he was quite matured for his age.
We were relaxed with the scan report being normal after that doctor just advised bed rest and we brought him back home.
He was not even able to lie down properly and every movement of his hand or leg would require such an effort. He could make out how tensed and vulnerable his mom and others felt sitting beside him. It’s then he says mamma don’t worry I will be fine till tomorrow.
Tears rolled down my cheeks, I must admit it again I still admire the audacity and willpower of my nephew. Seeing him everyday in pain makes our heart sink but he makes sure that his smile and talks make everyone’s heart sing. He makes his best effort to make sure that he is playing, talking, and watching movies so that he is distracted from the pain.
He is still recovering and I sincerely hope he is fit and fine soon.
Such is life where we really don’t know what next moment has in store for us.
P.S. Friends I have not got a chance to edit this one, just posting it as it is, definitely pouring out all the thoughts and happenings here make me feel a bit better as of now. It’s like sharing the pain with all of you. Will write soon…
