The story reflects on a traumatic incident from the author's childhood, specifically a car accident that occurred during a family trip to Palitana for Diwali. The author, who was just two years old at the time, has limited memories of the event but recalls the pain in their parents' eyes. The family was excited for the trip, especially the author's sister, as it was the author's first holiday with everyone. The journey began joyfully, filled with laughter, until after lunch when everyone fell asleep in the car. The driver, who was not supposed to doze off, lost control and crashed into a tree, splitting the car in half. The author’s father sustained severe injuries, while the mother and grandmother were also hurt. Miraculously, the author's sister remained conscious and bravely called for help, which led to a passing MLA stopping to assist them. The MLA helped rescue the family, mistakenly believing the father was dead and putting him in the trunk of his car while rushing everyone to the hospital. Despite the chaos and injuries, the author was the only one to escape without any bruises—an outcome attributed to a change in seating prior to the crash, which the author sees as a divine intervention.
