Last evening, Saachi was making sure she was busy and keeping everyone on their toes. While Shalu was having dinner. Finally, Shalu thought of a way of keeping Saachi busy.
She asked Saachi to go keep some shoes inside the shoe stand. Saachi ran off like she does, bobbit-bobbit. I mean, you can see her head bobbing up and down as she runs with small but hurried steps.
She picked up a couple of shoes, and bobbitted off to the shoe stand in the passage. Shalu, and i were in the drawing room. Sneha was in the bathroom. Within seconds, we heard Saachi's sudden, pained, and loud scream. Shalu and I ran to the passage, fearing the worst.
The scene that met our eyes was just plain horrible. The wooden shoe stand had toppled over Saachi, and she was stuck under it! And screaming in great pain and shock.
I was sure she had broken something, and was too overwhelmed by the site for a moment. All i could say was, "Arrey baap re" in a horrified tone. Shalu had pulled Saachi out by then, and was checking for signs of injuries.
There was a small scratch near her knees, but no external marks that could be readily seen. Shalu carried her to the drawing room, saying, "Sorry beta, sorry beta".
Fortunately, nothing seemed to be broken. She sat in Shalu's lap, scared, for several minutes, and then started walking around. Sighed with relief!
