A Disappointing Holiday

The cool complicate breeze swept through my hair, making me shiver with excitement. I arched my neck to take blanket(a) view of the breathtaking beauty of Eiffel Tower, which towered above me like some iron giant. It was such a attractive day. The melodious chime of the twittering birds filled me with glee. The sun too, it seemed, was in a playful mood, playing hide and seek behind the fluffy clouds. Trrring trrring The telephone rang all of a sudden bringing me out of the scenic beauties my hear was roaming in. Hello I said. Oh Hello Ferva beta I have some good news for you It was my uncle. Yes, yes I am listening I replied enthusiastically. Well Your tickets have been confirmed for day after tomorrow. Oh really Yes. at once be ready beta. Dont miss out anything and take care sayonara Goodbye uncle I replied, bringing our conversation to an end. I breathed deeply, thinking of the adventures in store for me. Ever since my uncle had invited me to trim his family in Pari s during my holiold age, I had been simply restless. I had been surfing the Net since the past few days for the best tourist locations, and had even set out a travel plan.I was to travel to Paris and haggle the monumental beauties of France. Switzerlands picturesque locations would be my next destination, where I would scale the snowy Alps drift on to Holland and witness the magnificent windmills a day or two in Italy, and then behind to Paris. It was all perfectly planned These vacations would be the best ones I ever had The next day was exhausted fidgeting around endlessly. My stick gave me a box of chocolates as a token of love, and my sister just couldnt stop reading out her endless wish list My father was to drive me to the airport, and I counted for each one passing second in wait. Honk, honk Finally, I cried, and headed straight towards the staircase in full speed. I really couldnt believe it My dream vacation was at last going to come unfeigned Once again my mind wan dered to the lush green valleys of Europe and I Ouch A sharp call out of pain left my mouth as I found myself sprawled on the concrete steps. In my haste, I had hurt myself. The car that was to take me to the airport took me to the hospital instead. This was the most devastating moment for me. I could non help thinking that my flight was leaving without me, my dream had shattered within the blink of an eye.At the hospital, what I prospect was a sprain turned out to be a fracture, and I was strictly restricted to vi weeks of complete bed rest. A pall of gloom hung over me as I heard my mother call my uncle to inform him of the accident. I was brought home, and though my fracture had healed to a certain extent, my misery never left me. Oh, come on said my sister, my shopping list can wait until next prison term she added cheerfully. But I could only answer her with a wry smile. It just seemed impossible for me to come to toll with the fact that my plans could fail.And it was in this time of disappointment that I even complained to Allah. once when I was crying taciturnly over how my hopes had been shattered, my mother came up to me and holding my hand said. Beta, I know that you have been let down but you must learn that this is part of life. She paused to take a breath. Always remember, God never harms his creations. In fact, there is always bestment behind every decision. The calm words of my mother made me suck up that no matter how much we plan, the ultimate power is God. This moment of truth made me feel better than before.
