THE WORST EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD

Life is like a roller coaster. There are times that you will be high up in the sky and there are times that you will be at the lowest place. No one will ever be able to expect what they will face in the next second. The same goes to me. I had lost something that is very precious to me when I was still very young. I remember that incident very well up to this moment. I was eleven years old when it happened. All of the things happened in one day and the wave of that bad emotion had accompanied me until now. That very morning, I started my routine very early in the dawn. I wake up at 5:30 in the morning. This is because there is only one bathroom in my house and it will be used by six people including me every morning. Thus, to avoid being late to school, I need to wake up very early to use the bathroom. Like usual, my mother will always prepared the warm water for me. The warmth is not just the physical warming but the heartily warming too. After cleaning up, I ate my breakfast and prepared myself to school. My mother sent me to school by using her motorcycle that she uses daily to send catering food to other people. I feel so amazed and proud with my mother. She is a full time housewife and work part time as a caterer delivery. I have being wondering how she is able to do so many things. Just before I left for school, I will always caress my pet and feed it a pot full of milk. It was a puppy, not the kind of the glamour species but it is a very precious for me. After feeding it, I will start my day to school and all the routines. Sometimes I really felt that my life is very boring because I had to do the same thing daily. However, the incident that had happened on that day had changed my mind. Just before the bell rang for recess, my left eye was twitching. I remember very well that my mother had told me that the twitching of the left eye signaling a bad omen. Anyway, I just ignore it and I think it is due to the over – reading in the class. Like usual, I will use the recess time to play around with my friends rather than eating the food that prepared by my mother. My mother will always ask me to finish the food she prepared. Every time I heard the question I will lie to her “Mom, I was not hungry at that time. I just do not want to waste my recess time. I want

to make some revision.” Although she knew that I was lying, she just never scolds me. However, she will ask me the same question daily and that makes me felt guilty. The last class of the day ends and I will wait my mother at the same place where she drops me. Like usual, I have to wait her for around half to one hour because she need to deliver the catering food. I will be the last one to left the school but not that day. After waiting for fifteen minutes, I saw my father was arriving with his car. I was feeling so uneasy with that. When I enter the car, my mother did not come along with him. I felt so weird and I ask my father about my mother. He did not answer my question but just told me that my mother was waiting at home. When I reach home, I did not hear that familiar sound that I usually heard. My puppy was not barking. He usually will bark when I came back from school. I was wondering where he went. Just before I move into the house, I saw some yellow mark on the garage floor. I did not care about it that much because my intention was to locate my mother. I knew she was at home because her motorcycle was at the garage. Once I enter the living room, I saw my mother was resting on a sofa. Her legs were wrapped by a huge white bandage. That sight had answered all of my questions that float in my mind. My mother had involved in an accident in the noon when she went out to work. A car accidentally crash on her and her muscle was cut by the stand of the motorcycle. She is not able to move for a few weeks until she had recovered from the injuries. My elder sister told me to bath and takes my lunch. I feel like want to cry but I know that I should not cry in front of my mother. It will make the situation even worse. Thus, I take a deep breath and do my routine. After taking my lunch, I will feed my pet. So, I went into the kitchen and grad some food for him. I went to his hut but he is not in. I search around but I could not find it too. Later on I went in ask told my elder sister about it. She was so busy doing the routine that my mother did daily. She just looked deep into my eye and told me, “Hooi, your puppy will never come back. It had passed away this morning. He was bitten by the cobra.” I went totally silent. I was so shock and extremely sad. My sister told me that my mother has called the vet to save him but it was too late. Thus, the vet brought my pet along to bury it. At that moment, my eyes were wet with tears. That evening, I clean up my puppy’s hut and keep all of his toys in a box.

That evening, I look at his hut for the last time. I was wondering why all bad things happened in one day. Starting from that day, I have realized that not everything in this world can be static forever and ever. Every living thing has their fate and destiny. When the time comes, we will left our beloved one or our beloved one will left us as well. We might not be able to control what might going to happen. I cannot stop my pet from bitten by the snake and I could not prevent the car from crashing on my mother. Both of the events have quite a big impact on my life. That day I really do not know how to manage my own feeling and I had cry throughout the evening memorizing my experience with my pet. After all, I had to face another situation where I had to do all of my routine without my mother supporting my. There is no more warmth water early in the morning and no one asking me the same question about my food that I brought to school for few weeks. There is no more caressing of my pet before school forever. That is the worst experience that I had ever had before in my life so far. I really hope that this experience will never ever happen again.
