A brief shining moment

Life is not a video game, and everything does not happen according to our plan or how we want. There are many uncertainties. Sometimes life brings us into such a situation that we need to struggle a lot, and sometimes we want to escape from the situation, but we have no way to escape from there because we become helpless. In one of the brief shining moments, we can see the light of hope, and that saves us from the situation or crisis, whatever it is.

I consider myself lucky because I feel that in my life there were only a few moments when I struggled and wanted to escape from the situation. Fortunately, each time I came out of the situation, and today I am going to share one of those. I know I have shared about the incident, but I think it's a difficult situation for me that I can only remember now. May be it's because I haven't faced too many difficult situations; otherwise, it could be because of my forgetting nature.

It was the time of the pandemic, and all my family members visited the village for some reason, and I was in town. I just received news that my mother was feeling unwell, so she was hospitalized at my village hospital. At night, I went to the hospital, and I acknowledged that her health condition was getting worse and that she had the symptom of COVID-19. The hospital doctors gave her a red sign and suggested immediately shifting her to a good hospital in the town.

Without any kind of delay, I hired an ambulance. Her condition was so bad that I started to be afraid of losing her. The stuffing of her was hard to bear for me. I was with her in the ambulance, and she was saying repeatedly that she might not survive. She grabbed my hand strongly while saying it. Can you imagine how tough the situation was for me? I wasn't able to say a single word to console her, as I also knew her health condition was very bad. In fact, I didn't find any words to console myself. The fear was at its peak, and in such a situation, I was trying to find an escape way. Every time I was trying to think that I was dreaming, after waking up, everything would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn't a dream, so there was no escape route.

My mother was admitted to the emergency room of a private hospital, and doctors started treatment immediately. I could do nothing, but my brain was giving me warnings of negative results. Naturally, I don't think negatively in any kind of situation, but somehow I couldn't control myself at that time. Maybe it's because I was too emotional.

I was outside of the emergency room, and I was lost in deep thoughts and didn't notice what was happening around me. Someone kept a hand on my shoulder, and I realized that was a young doctor. He just said, "Nothing to worry, she will be fine very soon." I don't know why that doctor came to me and said it because my father was inside with my mom. Maybe he noticed how nervous I was. A single sentence from the young doctor gave me relief and helped me think of only positive results. It was a brief shining moment for me, and the light of hope reappeared. The good thing was that she returned from the hospital after a full recovery.
