Accident
There was strange weather.They all were hearing those loud sound and heavy lightening.All office was waiting for rain to slow down.But there was no sign of stopping it.All colleagues were standing on door.Some had even returned to their desks.It seemed that rain was taking over all the city.The road were flood with water.But as usual Samir didn't care.His friend"Samir don't go out in this rain.""Hey stop worrying.I have many times drive the car in worst weather than this.Come on you know me.I always takes the risk and I never caught in problem.""Until now.But you will never know,when problem will begin.It will be wise to take precautions.Just wait for few hours.There is no emergency.You can easily phone your mom and tell her that you are going to be late.""Why shall I do it?Actually I want to watch a serial.I don't want to miss.I can easily manage it."Another friend"No Samir.Don't go now.It is quite risky.""Oh God!You are behaving as if I am a small baby.I can manage.""Okay as you wish.But phone us as soon as you reach the home.""Okay Mom.""Now don't call me Mom.""But you are behaving like one."All staff started laughing on that friend.That friend looked angrily at Samir and went inside the office.Samir laughed and sat in his car.But it was really raining heavily.It was hard to see the road even after using wipers.Still Samir started the car.He hoped that his car might not start because after sitting inside the car.He was no longer sure he could drive it properly.He didn't want to go back because his friends were watching at him.If he turned back now,he saw sure.He turned into laughing stock for everyone.He just could not face this kind of embarrassment so he had to drive the car.He turned to look back.He saw his friend Pradip whom he called mom.Pradip's eyes were still requesting his to stop.Some part of his heart was telling him to surrender.What would happen they just laugh at him?He would easily bear with it.Then suddenly one of his colleague started laughing.Samir didn't hear why was he laughing.But he felt that he was laughing on him.That moment made Samir to start the car and went away from office.In that rain he didn't able to see road clearly.The water was literally falling on his car.He felt as if he was driving through a waterfall.The wipers on the car were proving useless.Samir stopped his car twice to rub the glass so that he could see more clearly but very effort was proving useless in that weather.Samir could not able to see anything.He looked behind.He even thought about going back to office.But he had came ahead.There was no benefit in turning back.Samir once again sat inside the car.He could not see anything a head.But he had drive because he was already wet.When Samir went inside his car,he immediately shut down air conditioner.But it was already too late.The interior of car was already cold.Samir had already started shivering because of cold.Samir could not wait in that car.In his this condition he didn't want to stay in his wet clothes.He hated sickness.He began to remember the problems.He suffered in last sickness.He had to sit in line to meet doctor.After that those medicines he even hated to remember them.He didn't want to be sick and he had to change his shirt if he wanted to stay away from doctor.He had to drive the car.Samir slowly started to drive the car.
Samir was trying to drive the car.Samir entered the car on a shortcut.He hoped that there would be no crowd on that road.But as soon as he entered in that road.He knew that he made worst mistake of his life.That road was small and water was flooding from all the sides.Samir saw all door of car were locked.Suddenly he remembered the incidence of last monsoon.In which water was flooded from all sides and car of four young boys were struck in that water because of water.All the doors of car were stuck and locked and all passengers were died due to suffocation.They just could not able to come out.At that time Samir had blamed those boys for their careless attitude.They all thought same thing.Why did those boys went to drive in that weather?Whenever some wrong happened we all loved to put blame on victims.But we forgot that when we point our finger to other person,all other fingers were turned on us.Samir was very scared.Today he had done same thing.Without thinking he started driving to home.Samir could not able to see road and now water was also started on his car door.Still Samir continued driving the car.He just about to took the turn.Then he saw that he had finally reached the highway.Now just few turns then he should reach home.That moment he turned car in full speed.Due to rain he still could not see anything.But he heard a scream of someone.He put his leg on brake.But it was too late for him.He could clearly see that he hit someone with his car so finally Pradip's intuitions proved to be true.Finally Samir did worst thing in his life.He hit someone with car.He could had killed someone.His life was finished.Then he got out of car.He saw a man laying before his car.There was blood around that man.Samir went near him.In some part of his heart Samir felt sure that man was dead.But as soon as he went near him.He heard that man was making noises in slow voice because of his pains.Samir thanked his stars.Then he started searching for help.But there was no one who was ready to stop in that rain.Samir finally called police on his mobile.The policeman started talking to him like a murderer.Samir tried his best to handle the situation.Finally Samir decided to took this man in the hospital in his own car so Samir went near his car.Then he began to open car's door.But suddenly his hands started shaking.He just couldn't able to put car key in car's door.In that effort the key felt down in the water.He had to search them.Samir went on knees to search for key.At that moment that injured man started talking,"God will not let you go unpunished.You killed an innocent man like me.Now who will take care of my family?"That man stopped talking because of pain.Then suddenly light went out.Now everything turned dark.Samir no longer able to see even his own hand so searching for key was out of question.Then he remembered story of King Dasharatha.He began to feel him whole life would be doomed because of this curse.He started crying.Then finally he found key.He started to pick up that key.He suddenly noticed a taxi stopped near him.Finally taxi driver came out of taxi.Samir started requesting to help him.Taxi driver came near him.They both put that man in Samir's car.When they went near driving seat.Samir suddenly didn't want to go in that car.Luckily that taxi driver took keys and started to sit driving seat without noticing anything strange.Samir hurried towards passenger seat and sat there.Then they all reached to hospital.At first doctors informed the police.Then they looked at the patient.Samir was very scared.But doctor told him that the man didn't have any serious injuries.The blood was coming from the cut of his leg and head.But they didn't look life threatening.Samir"But that man was fainted.""That was because of pain.The cut in the leg was very deep.The treatment will be expensive""Don't worry.I will make all payments."Samir showed his credit card.Samir"Can you accept the credit card?""Of course.Go to counter and make payment."Then Samir paid and admitted that man after some hours police came there.They arrested Samir.Samir had to inform his parents.Samir was taken to jail.Samir just could not forget that day in his life.
Police told him to sit in jeep.Samir sat in that jeep.Samir started feeling suffocated in that jeep.He never had that kind of feeling in any type of vehicle.He started to feel that all the doors of car were coming near him.He just could not believe his eyes.Then he looked at ceiling.He saw ceiling was also coming on his face.He couldn't believe it.He closed his eyes.In hope that when he open them again,everything would be normal.But as soon as he opened them,he felt that he was going to be crushed in that car.He suddenly could not breath properly.He started sweating.He started asking for water.He began screaming.All the police in the car had thought he was faking up.They started telling him to stop that drama.But he just wanted to jump out of that car.He was screaming because he could clearly see that he was going to be crushed in that jeep.Finally they reached to police station.Samir was literally dragged out of the jeep and then they threw him in police custody.Samir should have normally hated that lock-up.It was dirty and many type of criminals were inside it with him.But today he just wanted to go out of that jeep.He was sure that some cooperated.Whatever they told him to do.He did that.He had to spend whole night there.Next morning his father came with lawyer.Samir was realized.His father told him that Samir had to thank god for not hurting that man too much.He also warned him never to drive in weather of that kind.Finally his father told him that he gave that man compensation so there would be no case against him.When Samir went out with his Dad,his father had started stopping Riksha.Samir thought about yesterday.He could not sit in that Riksha.He didn't believe that he had to sat in any vehicle which was closed by all sides.He preferred walking over it.Samir"Dad I will not come home.""What?After a night in lock-up don't you think there is need of wash.What's wrong with you?Why are you behaving in such stupid way?""No Dad I am not going in the Riksha.""Now stop that nonsense.We are going home.""No."Samir screamed loudly and started running.He had decided one thing.He was not going to sit in that Riksha.
Samir walked all distance.But he knew that he could never do this everyday.He could not walk for such long distance.Slowly Samir started to feel he just could not walk any more.His legs started to give up.All the vehicles started looking tempting to him.He wanted to use them.He just could not walk anymore.He finally sat on side of the road.He started crying.Yesterday he was so sure and confident about his future.Now in few hours everything was changed.He saw no longer sure.He didn't even have enough confidence to sit in any vehicles.He was standing on the road or he was sitting on the road.His future was completely destroyed.Samir was no longer sure if he was able to continued with his job.After all he could not sit in any vehicle.That meant he would never able to reach in the office.He just didn't know,what happened to him on that night.He never able to live his life normally.Then he saw his father was coming out of Riksha.But Samir pushed him and started to run.But he called for help and other people started holding Samir.Samir continued running.He totally black out and fainted on the road.
Then when Samir woke up,he was in hospital.His Mom and Dad were sitting near a cot on a stool.There was panic on their faces.His Mom came near him.Mom"My boy what happen to you?Why are you running?""I am scared of going in any vehicles Mom.My future is finish."Then Samir went in his Mom's arm and started crying.His parents were shocked by this.Samir had never acted like this.When he was 8 years old.He started sleeping in separate room.After that he never allowed his parents to hug him and now he was crying.Doctor was standing in corner at watching it silently.Finally Samir's father went to him and asked him.What happened to his son.Then only he opened his mouth.Doctor"Your son was fainted due to weakness because of exercise and he had not even taken dinner yesterday.His blood pressure is very low.After eating proper diet.He will be perfect."Dad was anger after hearing this.Dad"Are you telling me that my son can't enter in Riksha because of low blood pressure?""No.Of course not.That is his mental problem.I can't do anything about it."After saying that doctor left them.Samir"Dad is it okay?If you take me by your scooter.""Scooter?That old one.But you always hated it.""Yes Dad.But I don't want to travel by car or Riksha.I want scooter.I want a vehicle that was open from all sides.""My God what's wrong with you?I brought car with me.""Then I am not coming."Mom"I beg you.Samir is not fine.We will take him to our family doctor.But don't argue with him now."Finally Dad was shocked to hear this.Next day Samir immediately bought the scooter.After all Samir always loved his car.But now he started to use his scooter.He was never ready to enter in any one's vehicle.One day when his scooter didn't start,he walked all distance.Next day tow truck came and took his scooter.Samir came walking behind the truck.Pradip was very shcokde to see this so when tow truck was gone.He suggested Samir to go home in his car.But Samir once again got scared and literally ran away from there.All staff was got confused by his strange behaviour. He didn't come to office until his scooter was repaired.Finally his Dad took his to their family doctor.It was hard to convince Samir to go there.That doctor suggested psychiatrist so finally Samir went there.Samir told everything about that night to psychiatrist at many times.He literally started crying.After hearing his story psychiatrist said"Samir was very guilty regarding his mistake because of he started suffering from Situational type phobias.It usually involve fear of public transportation,tunnels,bridges,elevators,flying and driving.But in your case so he is scared of cars and Riksha etc.People with situational phobias believe they might have panic attacks in their phobias situations;indeed they often have had panic attacks when forced into those situation.This is the reason that we can't force him to sit in vehicle.He has to convince himself.Then only he will able to sit in vehicle."After that psychiatrist told them how did they suppose to treat Samir's problem.Slowly Samir started willingly to sit in Riksha and car.But he never dared to drive the car.He might had able to do it if he had gone to psychiatrist for more days.But he lost his patience.After all sitting in doctor's waiting room is not a easy job.Many times we ran away after half treatment if we able to go on with our life.
The End
