The locked key

 

Blaming doesn't make things better; it makes situation worse

2 months ago me and my dad went for a wedding reception. Where I didn't even know the bride and groom, but my dad insisted me to accompany him to the reception. I was left with no other option so I accompanied my dad and went there. Everything went great; after greeting all the unknown relatives and giving a weird smile for the photo and I had good biryani for dinner before leaving the reception hall. As we were talking with our brother's family and walking to the parking lot, my dad told me to ride the bike as he was already tired of the hectic day. I usually wore my scarf before riding, so while taking the scarf from the luggage box of the scooty, I put the scooter key in the box to tie my scarf, but instead of taking the keys back, my absent mind pulled the seat down which cause the luggage box to be closed. Then I searched for the key to start the scooty, but it was nowhere to be found. I remembered putting the key in the luggage box; my dad was tense as it was already late at night. In this case, we have to get back home, which is 15km away from the hall, to collect the spare key and go back there to get the scooty. My Dad called the mechanic and explained the situation, but the mechanic had no clue on how to get the key out. At last, my dad tried lifting the seat, which created a tiny space between the seat and the box. I struggle to put my hand inside the luggage box as it's my responsibility to cover up the mistake. After a few minutes of struggle, I somehow managed to get the keys out of the luggage box, and that's when my dad sighed in relief. Later, I realized that every struggle or trouble has a break out; instead of blaming it on others, we should have the patience to pause ourselves for a few minutes and try to think of clearing up. And every accident or incident is a lesson to be remembered at the right moment to avoid another mistake.
