The charger

Info

In a busy world like ours many a times we do things we should never have done  but destiny is a teacher and it gives lessons for every mistake.
One fine evening ,Shreya took keys of scooty and went to one of her friends house ... Things got a little twisted and she ended up having a fight with her friend ,angry and exasperated she came home threw the keys on the couch and bashed the door of her room she opened her cellphone so that she can listen to some music and calm herself. But the battery was low and she got even more irritated she tried findind her charger but did not get it anywhere she moved out of her room and saw that her mom had put her phone on charging using her (shreya's) charger . immediately she disconnected her mother's phone  and unplugged the charger. Her mom shouted " Shreya it is almost out of battery i need it charged" .
Shreya just did not listen and with extreme anger shouted " ma ! U took it (charger) without informing and now....please i need it just let me be " her mom tried to persuade her but she closed her room's door.
After sometime her mother informed her  that she is leaving for the market and she would call her( shreya) for a pick up cause no auto rikshaws are available during a return. Shreya said yes and then it was 9 pm almost two.hour after her mom left , shreya was quite worried that her mother had not called  yet she decided to go to the market to check. She took her keys and came down ignited her engine and was on her way suddenly on a chowk, near her building she saw a large crowd, which had  filled the entire road ,suggesting that an accident took place she could have never thought what was  coming to her. Suddenly she noticed that the body of the person being picked up by the ambulance wore the same clothes as her mother she was out of her mind and followed the ambulance soon she had it clear it was her mother the operation was started . Tears falling froms her eyes .....she called her father informed him everything . After a moment she thought that why her mother was coming back on her own she said she would call. Suddenly the nurse came running and told her " m sorry miss we tried our best but it was too late the bleeding was too much....m sorry we could not save her. Shreya fell down with a thud and a voice came saying " eh! Pls give me the charger" ...................shreya could not utter a word, cause she knew that a small mistake of her has now  become the greatest sin!. 💧👀🙆😖

well elucidated, we tend to neglect the smallest of the mistakes, but the cost we pay for them, is too much to even think of. Great message to the current generation
