A Scary Experience

Fearfulness is a psychological performance that most people have to face with. One can feel afraid of something like spiders or snakes. Some others can fear of a deadly certain circumstance which they feel like their feet almost put to the hell. To me, I had had a scary experience that I will never forget in my life. When I was about four year old, my mother took me to the market to buy some food. Usually, when going around the market, my mother held my hand so that she can keep me beside to her. I was a little shy child at that time with innocent mind. I just feel safe if only I could touch my mother's hand. But once, when she brought me to the pharmacist to buy some medicine, she left me a second to pay money for the drug. At that time, so many people were standing at the store with busy movement, I suddenly lost my mother. The feeling of safeness disappeared on the spot, and I went on a panic-stricken with the thought that I would never meet my mother again. I cried loudly. I remembered that my mother dressed in red and I tried to find the woman in that color. I found one, but she was not my mother. Disappointment again frightened me, so I cried louder and louder calling "Mom, mom, where are you?" It really scared me to death until I finally saw my mom. To say it in a right way, my mom found me. My eyes were entirely filled with tears and I could not see anything in a while, just non-stop calling my mom. When my mom held me in her arms to console me, I still felt frightened a lot. Sometimes I wonder why I could remember that moment when I was just under five year old. It is possibly because it had impressed on my memory. No other loss can be compared with losing my beloved mother. That is why I felt scary when my mother was not by my side.
