I was in depth of dreams, when out of nowhere a shake come to me. My whole self is trembling faster than any ship could be. I open my eyes. See the pearl black eyes with short eyelash, without lipstick her pale skin tone was better than all foundation. It non-other then my mom. And she said to me, ”Son! If you journey of dreams is end now. Can we all have breakfast together.” As I turn my gaze around the room, my sight catches father and the clouds of tea from the tray of breakfast.

I nod to her and she go in her place to wait for me. While I stand and preferred restroom first. After getting fresh and I come out. They were just talking to each other, probably about me, beside it the computer was on, playing classic Indian music of 90’s era.

I come and sit with them and start eating omelet with tortilla. I am not enjoying the music at all, so I stand opened the TV from myself. I change the channel to Cartoon Network or Disney XD for Doraemon or other programs. As I return to my place. I focused on their talks too.

When father said, “Be free from this quickly, I would be going in 15 minutes as other party might be on the way too.” He is fast to complete his whole breakfast. She nod him back. While I am on my way to complete half of my meal. Beside this I take my gaze to calendar to confirm the upcoming dates, as today is third Sunday with 25th of September, and said, “Winter is coming and now quite a close to us.” On which they gesture in my agreement.

Father completed his meal and wear the shoe. He said, “Allah Hafiz to you guys. Meet you after few hours.” And door is closed. While I am on last beat of my early meal. I complete it and stand but before going to lay in bed and watch TV. I give a warm and heart-whelming kiss on her cheeks.

She give me huge smile and loved that. Now I am on my way to watch TV. As mother take care of all dishes and went out. After she return I was on the same place watching all the programs. She sit on the computer and spent few time their scrolling Facebook on web. As few hours were gone till now, I am watching a movie of Doraemon on Treasure Island and come Sc-fi concept too. While mom was on bed taking a short Nap.

As sun was down by now. The door of garage is opened now, while I was in my grandpa’s room. Father come direct to us, cause our room is on second floor and grandpa’s is on ground floor, and he was having huge smile on face. He ask, “So how was the day?” On this mother replied, “Terrible! Cause you now have to call the electrician to come set the wire of our room.”

Father get a bit shock, he ask while his voice is tumbling, “What had happened?” And the only eye witness was me of that incident.

I explained, “As I was watching TV, while mom was sleeping and I was all alone, fun just stopped suddenly and within a sec TV was closed too. I got a bit tension but I thought it might be the electricity shutdown timing, that always happens in our area for certain hours in couple of times per day, but it wasn't like usual.

As eldest mama came in room and told us to get out of it. Basically a shock circuit happened in room, due to which whole room is out of light.” Father nodded on this and drink a couple of glass of water as he used in common. He immediately called a person, a electrician who had worked for years in our houses and relatives, and said him to come ASAP.

He come after a hour or two. He was slim than pencil but courageous to work as hard as possible. He is known as Rehan Bhai. He take in up in sky and kissed on cheek then give a little candy and asked about my health. I thank and said I'm ok.

He is hilarious and trolling personality. He fixed the room and didn't take any pay or what. He just go as he finished the cup of tea that he ordered in exchange of money.

Now I was back to my TV shows and movies. Happy life.
