I often heard from my family that a servant died in an accident on the way. And after hearing it, my heart would break for a while. But again I lost in the splendor of life.
But you know, when it happened to me, I realized, what sorrow is.
Saturday morning started very well, I had breakfast as usual and got busy with my studies. While studying, I was thinking that I would make fries after preparing my test. But lunch was prepared by my mother. As we were about to eat, my brother got a call and after hearing the call he went in shocked. When my mother asked, he told that Haseeb died.
Haseeb was an eighteen year old cousin of mine which was more than my brother. After giving FSC exams he was busy preparing for MCAT(Medical College Admission Test), whose dream was to become a doctor. And he would have become a doctor if death had not overtaken him. He had an accident with a rickshaw and his neck got stuck with a blade-like object of the rickshaw, due to which he suffered a brain injury and cut his neck. Due to blood clotting, he breathed for a few seconds and his soul left his body and he fell asleep forever.🥺
After hearing this news, the ground was removed from my feet. I saw the ceiling of the room moving. And I was thinking how cruel death is. We quickly got ready and went to aunty's house. At six o'clock we reached her house and I see my cousin's dead body and my patience ends there. I felt like it was a nightmare that was about to end. But death is an inevitable fact that can come anytime.
The whole night I was sitting next to his dead body and his memories were playing like a movie in my mind. His funeral was at eight o'clock on Sunday morning. I was a cousin, but when I saw his parents, I could not imagine even a single percent of their pain.
After the funeral, I came home after praying for him, but when I came home, I made tea for myself because my head was bursting with pain. This tea was to me like I was sipping poison.
Do you know that this world is not going to stop when someone leaves? Many people give support for two or three days, but then there comes a time when a person has to spend these moments alone. Our death is a second away that can overtake us at any moment. So I will make a request that never hurt anyone, always treat others with peace and mercy.
May Allah rest his soul in peace and May Allah give patience to all our family. This weekend has been so hard, every minute has felt like an hour. I have never seen a worse and saddest weekend in my life like that.
