I jumped out of bed at mid-night.......
I woke up due to some disturbance and noise coming from
outside the bed room. Immediately I jumped out of the bed. At the
same time, there was a clap of thunder and a brilliant flash in the sky.
All the lights went out with a big explosive sound from the nearby
transformer. It became absolutely dark all around me.
The rain became heavier and was making a lot of
rustling sounds. A quick gush of air hit me on my cheeks and I shivered
violently. I was afraid. Immediately, I lied on the bed and
covered myself with the blanket that was on the pillow. I started praying
God. Through the window some the rain water is splashing inside the room.
I felt some water drops on the blanket too. But I did not open my eyes or
remove the blanket.
I could not sleep immediately. My nerves were still
tense and eyes fully awake. There was the strange feeling of fear, but
also of courage. I knew from somewhere inside me that nothing would
happen. But there was a feeling something was going to happen. I
did not want to miss it.
I did not know when I slept off. When I regained
conscious, it was quiet all around. I opened my eyes slowly and saw it
was early in the morning. There was the red Sun rising in the East. The cool
air made me feel so pleasant and comfortable. I felt very happy, peaceful and
safe there looking at the Sun and the birds making noises on the trees.
The rain had stopped.
I went in to the bathroom for getting ready and then
to have a hot cup of hot chocolate (Coffee/Horlicks/Boost), the most inspiring
way of starting the day. While sipping the hot drink in the cool weather,
I reflected on the incidents of previous night. I felt a chill going
through my body. I felt the same way, as I did in the night, for a
moment. It took some time for the brain and the heart to cool down and
the pulse to be normal again. Finally, I congratulated myself on keeping
cool and holding myself together.
