SHORT STORY

2. The Air India Plane crash in Calicut Airport was happened last Friday ,
on 7 th august 2020. The plane , carrying more than 180 people,
skidded 35 feet in the rain and split in two. 18 people died. But
everyone else was rescued. The rescue operation was carried out by
locals who heared the noise and came there.
Everyone was praising the locals who helped the victims. Majority of
them was youth. I imagined character in this story someone
representing all of them .
INTRODUCTION

3. That spectacular programme is being held by
the Panjayath authorities and I was amazed
goosbumped to watch this ever waited moment.
Pin dropping silence was in the hall and the voice
has broken it with an announcement and that
was not expected with the audience,
"This special award goes to Mr. Ramzan for his
remarkable humanitarian aid"

4. Really I surprized to hear this
because he was such an defiant person. He
never obeyed his parents and wandered
here and there. He was considered totally
a waste to all the villagers. Again the
announcement,
"Dear audience , we never expect that we
would have a painful gathering like this.
Ramzan, we can never forget him. Now he
is the asset to our society. He saved 35
lives but he“
There was applause throughout the
hall. Suddenly the memory of a frightening
day came to my mind.

5. It was a black Friday. And It was
raining heavily. A day when people
tremble with fear because of thunder and
lightning. There are landslides and flood
somewhere and a lot of people who are
sad knowing that many lives have been
lost

6. It was the time about 7.30 night. Ramzan
was sitting in the sit out. He was looking into the
darkness. The rain drops became stronger and
stronger. He was hungry and he walked to the dining
table. He heared a terrible noise while eating.
Suddenly He ran to the loud sound where he heared
which was from the hill side, despite the night, rain,
cold and corona.. The scene , what he had there was
really shocked him.

7. It was a memorable one in life. A
three part plane and a lot of people fighting
for their lives. Many of them must have been
infected. He didn’t take that into count. He
ran to them and started to rescue. Put the
caught peoplt in the car and goods lorry.
Within half an hour , the area was filled with
ambulances, firefighters and rescue workers.
Ramzan could save 35 people including a
child, one of whom was in a critical
condition. He was at the forefront of
transporting the injured to the hospital and
handing over the children to their parents. In
two and half hours everyone was saved.
Growing up watching the crash mokdril for
years he never expected it to actually come
before his eyes.

8. People were shocked to hear the news.
Air India Express plain crashed at Calicut airport.
Almost 18 people was killed in the accident
Include the pilot . It all happened in a flash. Just
when they thought they had reached home,
their plane fell into a 35-feet gorge in pelting
rain.

9. They were happy when were about to
touchdown and they thought that the rain was
a welcome sign. But their joy was short-lived.
Suddenly there were big jerks and the plane
was filled with loud cries. Most of them
tumbled out of their seat and lost conscious.
Next to the crashed plane, there were luggage
with dreams, and the gifts that they cant give
to their beloved ones.

10. Many who arrived at the hospital and escaped
remembered Ramzan. When they saw death, coming to
their rescue, they kept telling others about Ramzan. At
that time, Ramazan was in a hurry to donate blood to
someone in danger. The villagers was shocked to hear
what people were saying about Ramzan. The same
ramsan, who was branded by the villagers as a
beheaded, naughty and mischievous man. When heard
the news about Ramazan, his father and mother sat
looking at each other without saying anything.

11. Ramzan was in the hospital until
dawn. He set off on his bike home early in
the morning in the hope of rescuing at least a
few people. The shocking sight of the night
kept coming back to haunt him. Suddenly his
eyes seemed to blur .. all of a sudden .. his
bike hit a tree and he fell on the road .. he
was there for a long time without anyone to
save him. He corrected all the accusations
against him in an instant and left. By hearing
his death news, the natives all cried bitterly
inside.

12. The speaker loudly announced,
‘'Let me invite our proud Mr Ramsan's father to receive the
posthumous honour to Ramsan".....
Ramsan's father slowly walked to the stage. Audience
welcomed him with a big applause. He took the mike and
started speaking. "Dears“ words stucked to his tongue.
“I don't know what to say.. My son... he dedicated himself
for his country, state, village and his people. Until yesterday
he was a useless. But now he proved what he is really. He
saved 35 . As a father this is the proud moment for me. I
am proud of my son … I am proud of my son….”
The old man wept bitterly and walked slowly by clinging
the memento with his heart.... his lips whispered....
"My..sweet. son.....".
