Mystery

The day I turned into a living a corpse.

Life is not about a straight, clear, or trafficless path on which you drive your car without seeing left or right or backward or forward. Life is incomplete without difficulties or hardships and for me, this is the time when these difficulties and hardships change your life but sometimes it changes a person. It may drown a person into an intolerable sorrow from which he could not even expect to come out of it.

Hi, there my name is Ali Abuzar.

Life is a name of unexpected sometimes hilarious events which are unbearable a couple of times.

I was a person who remained happy all the time. I was a person whose eyes always sparkled with happiness, always enjoying every moment of my life.

As I completed my 12th grade and then was moved abroad for my graduation and further studies. I spent my 6 years studying in Melbourne, Australia. Since it was 7th year of my life living abroad, I couldn't get a chance to see a glimpse of my mother rather than on a video call twice a day sometimes thrice a day.

It was 17th May, Tuesday I received a call from my childhood best friend (Ahmad) from Pakistan as we both are neighbors also. It's been more than 6 and half years since we talked last time as we both got indulged in our further studies and other workings. As we were talking, he started conservation relating to my mother's health.

Ahmad:" Ali, I visited your mother's house last week I felt that she was not alright, her health was not good".

That time I got a little conscious about her and was thinking that if she is not alright she might have let me know about it. At the time I decided to fly back to Pakistan for a surprise for my mother. I immediately booked a flight to Pakistan it took me a total of 22 hours to Pakistan first from Melbourne to Abu Dabhi then a couple of hours rest there I flew to Pakistan.

As I landed I contacted Ahmad and let him know about my surprise but unfortunately, I got a great shock when I heard that my mother is in hospitalized last night as her health got worse she was shifted to the hospital.

I directed myself straight to the hospital and saw what I thought of while driving off to the hospital. I couldn't believe it when my neighbor walked straight past me without saying a word. That was the worst phase of my life I have ever gone through it.

From then I was turned into living corpse.
