Memorable Incident

By Sapna, (IX),

Him Jyoti School

I was 11 years old and in school the day this incident took place. A friend came into my class and asked me to rush home as something had happened to my father. I was scared and could not think or move. My teacher gently said to me that I should go home and see what had happened. When I reached home, there was a huge crowd gathered. I pushed aside the people and walked into the house. And there was my father lying very still on the bed and family members around him were crying. I had no words to say to my mother. The only thing I kept asking was, “What happened?” Nobody answered me as all were too grief stricken to talk. I felt my life too had finished and would never be the same again.
