Tragic Jiffy Of My Existence

Being alone is the saddest juncture in my vim and vigour given that, reminiscences of what went before comes flooding back into my mind. It may be the happiest moment of my existence however, most often than not, it’s the most gloomy and heart-rending part of my verve whereas it always left my face doused with tears.

I was in my elementary years, in Grade 3 in particular when ‘that’ incident transpired. My mother’s job is a store’s retailer but she didn’t own the store. Auspiciously, we got to stay at the house adjacent to the store free of charge. It was in the evening when we are previously done with our dinner. My brother and I then decided to play with our neighbors as we asked for permission with our mother. 

We were playing merrily with our playmate which as the same time is our neighbor. All at once, we heard a hubbub outside our playmate’s house. Consequently, our playmate’s mother ran towards us telling me and my brother not to go home by now for there are quandary going on our store. She didn’t inform us about what is going on with our mother and that is when I feel ill at ease with fear and frets engirdling my heart as I took a crack in repressing my tears to fall right down my cheeks. I was worried with my mom from tip to toe and I find myself mooching around our playmate’s house.

Soon after, as our playmate’s mother told us we can by now return to the store, we ran on the spur of the moment to the store and finds our mother. As we got to the store, my mom wasn’t alone. There are police officers in the area as well as my mother’s boy assistant. 

I was only nine years of age at that time and my brother is 11 years of age in the course of that incident. But then, I grasp what previously come to pass with the store as well as with my mom. The store’s been intruded by two men wearing black clothes and masks and robbed the store and put a gun into my mother’s head. 

That incident that goes off with my mom ruptured my heart into pieces as it was the worse for wear. I began to weep the minute I become aware of what truly happens. 

I’m too naive to grasp the things that need understanding. What I know since that occasion ensued until now, is that God is there, forever and a day and never deserted us.
