Real Life Happenings-

THE REAL TERMINATION SALVATION

(PART IV)

There was a hoarding on the terrace on which advertisements were telecast. My grandfather and his colleagues held it tight. Again, it was felt that it was the last page of their chapter of life. No one was in the mood to talk to each other. Everybody just remembered God. That was the time when they saw something. What was it? It was a bank's board addressed to the customers reading as "May I Help You?" 

My grandfather wished if it could save his colleagues and him. But it was just a board floating in the river.

My grandfather and his colleagues held the hoarding for more than 120 minutes. All of them, including the colleague who fainted and later awoke had huge urge to live, not for their own but for their families. Maybe, it was their determination to withstand all types of problems which made the water recede. 

The water started receding at about 4:00 pm.My grandfather could touch his feet on the terrace.He began to see the fall of the water. The consequences of any matter are more than the causes. the aftermath of the flood was horrible! Previously, There sat a cobbler outside a post office. My grandfather saw his body  floating in the water. It was a mournful moment for my grandfather.  

Yes! My grandfather and his colleagues fought against the nature and acclaimed victory. They survived the disastrous flood. As the water showed retirement my grandfather could see more ugly visuals.

At about 10:00 pm the water subsided. Arrangements were made to take the survivors home.

It was felt as if  the Yamraj (God of death) was smiling at my grandfather and his colleagues and saying "Good Bye-Long Live"

Yamraj -the God of death himself saying "Long Live"

Physically my grandfather was not harmed but mentally the wounds have not left him till date. Even today, he remembers about his,  "TERMINATION SALVATION"
