So I woke up this morning and had this sudden urge to shop (like,what's new eh?lol) especially with my new resolution not to shop toooo much this coming Ramadhan.
But at least I didn't digress to other departments-just zoomed in on what I want.And before heading home,my darling babies and I stopped by for some doughnuts and groceries.I didn't bother bringing the pram.My baby girl was in the sling and my hands were full and loaded with doughnuts,briyani,4 bottles of fresh milk,bottles of jam and honey,etc...and I was rushing for Zuhur.
I always tell my darling son not to enter the lift first as I was afraid that it might shut on him before I could enter so of course,I entered first.Just as my two legs stepped into it,the door immediately closed on me.With my loaded hands,I struggled to press the door open button but it didn't seem to have any effect.There was no lights on the buttons except for the number 12!I could already feel the lift moving!And hear my son's cries "Umi!Umi!".I was frantically pressing the 5 and 9 buttons,hoping that'd it stopped but this lift with a mind of its own decided to be a bitch and had a good laugh instead!So there I was,those few seconds of waiting for the lift to go to the 12th floor and back to the 1st was a lifetime to me!I tried to be calm and kept telling myself my son won't go into the other lift and got off the wrong floor and that was going to be worse...that he was going to wait for me until I return....I was uttering doa under my breath!
I'm trapped in the lift and my son's gone! Somewhere...where I can't see him!
I was undoubtedly scared.
The lift door eventually opened on 1 but he was not in front of the lift!I couldn't be bothered with the shopping bags and just left them in the lift and ran out.
There he was,with big lumps of tears tearing down his face,wailing "umi!" when he saw me.I just scooped him up and asked if he was ok.My heart was beating like a madhouse.Oh I felt so stupid.How could I let that door close on him like that!
Stupid,stupid lift!
