Moon has already chased
the sun, night has become darker and world dropped to silence even fading the sounds of busiest
chirping crickets, barking dog and loaded trucks. It was yesterday- a Friday
night and usually during the
start of weekend holiday I never sleep early and even if I try, my sleep would
have flee far away. My energy would be at the maximum that would even sustained
till dawn break and like usual I was browsing over net, playing internet games,
chatting, reading article and by then it was
already midnight when I had my supper with my friend.
After our midnight
dinner, instead of sleeping we locked our door and went to our friends room
which Is in the next block building to watch international football match. You
know, we never miss watching important football matches even if it’s during our
exam time and if there is football match just like yesterday in weekends when holiday
just start, it would be one of the luckiest and cherishing night for us. There
was series of international matches in swing happening simultaneously ( SPAIN
VS ENGLAND, GERMANY VS FRANCE, WALES VS HOLLAND, BELGIUM VS ITALY etc) where we
were bit stuck in the middle choosing which country match to watch, and finally
we landed up watching Spain vs England and Germany vs France simultaneously as
there 15 minutes differences in the starting time.
As usual the crowd was
huge, fans shouting to the
peak of their voice with excitements, drums every where accompanied with blowing horns in stadium and on
other side of world ,three of us like three musketeer was cheering up in the
middle of night even if we were watching the match on laptop struggling over
timely fluctuating net. The game passed so long
without conceding any goals, and yeah crowd was still cheering huge and three of us was
also watching and simultaneously talking about the previous day
match when our country lost to china with huge differences(12-0).
By around 4 am in the
morning (Saturday) the match got over with ( Spain 2-England 0, France
2-Germany 0) and yeah two of us came
back to our room to sleep as it was already late. By then like after 20 to 30 minutes, my friend
showed me on the Instagram picture which title “BESTOFFOOTBALL” with stadium
full of fans, and caption reading “ our thoughts and prayers are with everyone
in Paris . Many people have been shot around Paris and big hostage
situation. People that saw the
match France-Germany stay in stadium for safety reasons.”
Seriously, I couldn’t believe for a once that world is so much a
unsafe place to survive and live. I couldn’t believe my eyes that I read those
lines after just seeing those huge crowds in huge excitements couple minutes
ago.
Suddenly after I saw
that picture on the Instagram, I browsed over chrome on BBC to check what
really has happened. And to my dismay i saw huge bold on the page
“ PARIS ATTACK- BATACLAN and other assaults leave many dead.”
Where 80 people were killed, 180 leaving injured after gunmen stormed into
Bataclan concert hall which was one of the deadliest of Friday night attack and three of gunmen was
also already dead after they have blown themselves up and one shot dead by
police after security forces stormed inside the concert hall.
The picture of stadium
filled with fans who watched a match was accompanied by president and other
spectators and was one of the target for those attackers. and it was witnessed
after two explosion and three gunmen were shot dead on spot. That's why all of
them were caged in the stadium for the safety reasons.
After reading all of
those news, i couldn't sleep and i was bit disturbed thinking world is still a
unsafe place to survive and live among people and people also. i was disturbed
seeing those huge crowds in panics and cries which i saw them in huge
excitement 20 minutes earlier .
I pay my sympathy and
prayers to all those people in Paris and may happiness find a way through soon
as usual.
