उत्तर
The day started off well enough, whoever thought it would turn out to be so bad. Well, it was the month of May and our vacation had just begun, it was the day when we were due to leave for Darjeeling. We packed our luggage and moved to the railway station which was about a ten minute drive from our house.
It must have been about half past twelve and our train was scheduled to arrive at one O’clock at the Agra Cantt railway station. We had almost reached the station when my mother recalled that she had left the gas stove on. So we had no choice but to return. When we reached home, I rushed in and immediately swichted off the knobs of the gas stove.
My brother checked the status of our train just in case and we learnt that the train was three hours behind schedule due to some technical issue. It was decided that we will wait in the house rather than sit at the station.
Without off loading our luggage, we went into our house and decided to relax till then. Just then I heard the murmur of water. When I checked, I was astounded to find a major water leakage in our bathroom due to which the bathroom was filled with several inches of water. I immediately contacted the plumber as I knew that in a matter of minutes, the whole house would be flooded with water.
The plumber didn’t take long and arrived within fifteen minutes. He checked the leakage and told us that a pipe in the bathroom had burst open which was causing the leakage. He said that he’ll be able to fix it in an hour or so, we reluctantly agreed. The plumber took nearly two hours to repair it. We quickly paid him his charges, locked the house and set out for the station with only twenty minutes to spare.
Adding insult to injury, we were stuck up in a traffic jam. It was as if all the problems in the world had broken on us. We faced red lights at all signals. Facing a lot of difficulty, we somehow managed to reach the station.
We ran as fast we could towards the platform, desperately trying to make our way through the hustle and bustle of the platforms, but to our despair what we could only manage to see was the back of the train and hear the hoot of the engine. To our horror, we realized that we had missed our train and our trip to Darjeeling as well.
We returned home deeply saddened by the incident. I’ve had a lot of bad days in life but it was by far the worst day of my life and I hope that such an incident never happens again.
