Half Filled Glass
The chaos around
ended, everyone retreated to their own corner and could only be left alone with
themselves. He still couldn't believe everything happened so fast. He had been
waiting in front of the door for 15 minutes with the key in his hand and could
not dare to enter. He still couldn't accept that she was gone.
With courage, he opened the door and took his
first step into the house. It was as if life was still going on inside. But a
coldness blew into his heart. He swallowed and went inside. First he headed to
the kitchen, where "Do Not Forget" was written on the refrigerator. A
tear fell from his eye. How important were the things to be done for tomorrow
at that moment? Because there was still tomorrow. Now it seemed so unimportant
to make plans for tomorrow without knowing if you are alive in 2 minutes.
“People know”,
"How do we know we won't die soon?" everyone says. Even though a
person knows that he may die soon, he cannot accept that this is life. But it
happened, the news of deaths that we always watched from afar as if they would
happen to others, found us today,” he thought to himself.
Feeling that his
throat was dry, he took a glass of water from the cupboard. He was about to go
inside and drink the water when he saw the half-finished glass of water on the
table. The wind that had just blown into his heart was now freezing inside. He
left his water on the table without drinking it. Even the water in his glass
was half finished. Seeing that water like that affected him so much that
questions suddenly began to arise in his mind. "Am I ready to die right
now? What I will do, my plans, what I will leave behind... No, no, I still have
many goals that I want to achieve. What keeps me busy when even a glass of
water is left unfinished? Death is very close and I don't have time to delay
anymore. "My time is now", so whatever I don't want to leave behind,
I have to do right now. The person I thought was closest to me is now gone, and
I'm on my own. It turns out that people are always alone and don't understand
when their loved ones are with them." He stood up. While he was filled
with sadness, a strange hope also arose within him. He was filled with hope on
one of the saddest days of his life. He decided to do whatever he had postponed
until now. Before leaving the house, he looked at the photographs held on the
side of the mirror and smiled. He now looked at his progress differently. “But
it shouldn't have happened like this. "I wish it wasn't a sad event that
motivated people."
"I don't
have tomorrow, I only have this moment. So don't waste it, be happy, enjoy it,
be good, don't regret it at the last moment..." He said to himself and
left the house as if he wasn't the one who couldn't enter that house just now.
It really is,
isn't it? People always postpone what they are going to do until they encounter
an event that will bring them to their senses. Does it have to be death for a
person to remember the truth? Or does something have to happen to him to
recover? Life is short, every moment is precious. But one realizes its value
when it is gone from one's hands.
However, what is
one waiting for to become better?
