Misplaced keys

I’m officially sick again. Fever, cold, throat pain and the works. To make it worse, the thought of not having leave and the workload does makes it even worse I think. So from 3pm last afternoon I was waiting to go home and when I finally went home it was 7.30pm.

My mum called me on the way to tell me that no one’s home as she has gone with my relations for an almsgiving to an orphanage which has mentally handicapped girls.

So after getting home, I parked the car inside, closed the gate behind me and then started looking for the house key.

It wasn’t there to be found in the usual place that I keep it.

I panicked.

I started taking everything out of my handbag, putting it all on the passenger seat of my car and started looking for the key and still couldn’t find it. Then I remembered, half an hour later, that it was in my other handbag.

This is the first time ever, that something like this happened to me.

So I called my mum and told her the story. She then claimed to be half an hour away and that she will make it home as soon as she could.

I then updated my FB status.

Then I called my bro to see where he was and told him my sad story. He tried to make me psychologically feel at ease by saying he’ll take 25 mins to come home and that he’s in the bus. Seriously? I told him that he can take his time.

Then I started walking in the garden, exploring the new things that have been growing. We’ve one area with ‘saman pichcha’ flowers and even with my blocked nose, I could get the fragrance of the blooming flowers.

I then sat on the doorstep, and started checking out apps on my phone.

Then my mum called to keep me company and tell me she got my horoscope checked by an astrologer to whom her best friend and her entire family goes to. She only got mine checked and was pretty impressed. So she shared everything with me and I was impressed too. Since I wasn’t born here, getting an accurate reading on mine isn’t an easy task. But I must say, I was damn impressed.:) She was a bit shaky to tell me as she knows I don't go behind them much. :-)

I loved the things he said.. Lets hope they work! :-)

So listened to all that, then saw a concerned neighbor coming my way. And then finally, my mother came home. And 5 mins later, so did my brother.

Sitting on my doorstep, with the nice weather and drizzle felt really nice. It felt peaceful and free.
