Below is the replication of the events as told by mommy and daddy...
This is a real life story based on
true events that happened on a fateful night of 14th Aug 2009 in the town of
Bhubaneswar.
It was monsoon season and it was
raining cats and dogs for last couple of days. As the clock turned 11pm, I went
to bed with my mommy and daddy. We kept the bedroom window open to let the cool
breeze come in. Soon we were in deep sleep. At around 3am mommy and daddy's
sleep was disturbed by some strange noise coming from the backyard. They tried
to ignore, but the noise sustained. They were aware of the warnings issued by
the local police for the thefts and burglaries happening in the area and hence
became a little cautious and scared as well. While they were still sleepy,
suddenly mommy felt as if someone was at the window trying to get his hands
inside. Petrified, she woke up the daddy and he also saw a hand trying to move
the curtain. With lot of courage, they got out of the bed and shouted at top of
their voice. I also woke up at this point of time. Thereafter daddy picked up
his baseball bat, switched on the kitchen garden lights and alerted the neighbors
as well. From the window, we could make out the footprints of the thieves since
the ground was wet and muddy.
During this humdrum, we almost
forgot the creepy noise that was still coming up. Using the flash light, daddy
could see a fat cat in the kitchen garden who was about the deliver her babies.
She was mourning in pain. Cautiously, daddy went out, picked up the cat and put
her in a old dry cardboard box.
Post all this, we went to bed a
little scared. We woke up and immediately went to the backyard to see 2
beautiful kittens. They were extremely cute. We gave them some milk and thanked cat who woke us up last
night and saved us.
In
a nutshell, it was a very scary, mysterious and eventful night. Not only God
helped us by sending cat as the messenger, but my parents also put up a very
brave act to avoid what could have been a very dangerous night. We will never
forget that night!!
