The slippery adventure

By Saim Sultan

It can be said that this event in my life is like a memory of an

event which was horrible but now I feel good to share this
experience as I live in Karachi those were the months of
monsoon rain I exactly remember the date it was 1st of may in
2016 and the day was Friday. On this day everything was going
in flow but there was one change the weather from the dawn
time look interesting there were smoky clouds covering the sky I
went to school I was sitting just next to window I was praying
that may rain occurs so I can enjoy each drop of it but sun came
out it is normal because there was no cloud next to sun at that
particular time but being a 8 year old immature student I think
that there will be no rain and became upset I was continuously
looking towards window meanwhile my teacher was noticing all
this matter with my change of expressions than to make me
normal my teacher said jokingly “The weather in Karachi and
the people of Karachi are alike in their quick changes – both can
switch their mood in a moment”
 After waiting a long time near window a drop of rain
splashed on the window glass and this immediately changes my
emotions from being –disappointed to excitement soon the
school was over I reached home as it was Friday it was a
religious and sacred day for me I changed my clothes and went
mosque I was in the ablution area with my father and
completing ablution I ran furiously on the marble floor which
was slippery because of rain water I slipped after being slipped I
can’t remember what happened next now onwards are the word
of my father he narrated me that he make me stand we
performed prayers and go back to home and then I have a sleep
and from here the things get critical and complex because if a
man sleep with a head injury it can be very harmful for health
but my parents thinks that it was just a normal injury in the
evening my brother wake me up and he narrated that I started
saying “its spicy, its spicy” which make no sense after waking
up he also narrated that I was requesting sugar to eat seeing this
my parents take me to our general checkup doctor but things
were much worse that they don’t even know what is happening
the doctor check up myself and said these lines “it’s a serious
injury and it’s late it will be better to move him to hospital for
better treatment” after listening these words my father came to
know what has happened to me ,he started shivering and his
body felt lose but my mother make him strengthened they took
me to ziauddin hospital from now I have blurred memories like
in car I was resting and my mother with a polite voice carrying
worry and with crying accent she says “don’t sleep it will make
your injury serious and my body was behaving against it I was
lazy and drizzly and my father was driving in heavy rain with
shivering body that was much difficult that he do I also
remember finnaly I was in the bed of hospital with a fixed drip ,
feeling more energized and better

Then my sight catch a same window like in my classroom I sit

next to it then it was still raining it felt like Raindrops played on
the window, a liquid lullaby for the night this was so fascinating
and I was glad that I was again able to enjoy every drop of the
rain
