Incident
two:
10th standard now.
Finally got out of the habit of wetting the bed. One such night I felt the urge
to discharge the stock and went to bathroom. Don’t worry, nothing was in the
bathroom. After finishing the business I returned to my work location i.e the
hall where I slept. Let me help you get the picture of the hall. It’s a huge
hall with a table at either end. One table lies near the bathroom area where I
went. Along the other table we used to spread two bed sheets for my sister and
I to sleep. Getting the picture?
Now when I entered the hall I saw a
figure standing right on my bed sheet turned towards that table. My first
reaction was shock and a mini heart attack. I took a few steps back in terror.
I wasn’t wearing my glasses ( I’m not blind without them though) so in the
light of the night lamp I could see a white baniyan(vest) and a lungi but no
face since he was turned towards the other table. It should be my dad or my
grandpa, I thought. From the shape I decided it’s my dad.
Sighing a relief I wondered what he
was doing here in the middle of the night. As my sleepiness faded I realized he
must have come for water that we used to keep on that table. Now thirst is
something like a yawn. We see someone drinking and we suddenly realize we need
water too. Instinctively, I checked on my right to the nearest table to see if
it has jug of water. Nothing was there.
So I turned towards my dad, opening my mouth to ask for water. Nothing
was there too. No water, no dad. My mouth was still open but nothing came out.
And just so I’m clear, in case you have any doubt, I turned and looked too
quick for my dad to run and hide in his room. And my dad doesn’t have a super
power of invisibility also, so that’s not an explanation either (hmmm).
I didn’t know what to do. It was pointless to keep standing there. So I went and lied down on the very spot where I had just seen someone/something standing. I can make myself believe that the first incident was just a cat (a huge white clothed cat) but this I’m not sure to this day. But thank god it happened AFTER I went to the bathroom.
I think once again u washed your bed machi?
