An accident survival

I was returning on a motorbike from a relative's family function in Paravoor with my mother when the accident happened. It was a Sunday, and the road was relatively empty. I was driving a bit fast. As we approached Varappuzha, an elderly woman and her three granddaughters suddenly crossed the road. I couldn't slow down in time and hit them. My bike skidded, and we all fell. My mother hit her head on the ground. A passing auto-rickshaw man took her to Amrita Hospital. I returned to the accident site to retrieve my bike, and by then, the locals had taken the old lady who crossed the road causing the accident to Lourdes Hospital.

Their family filed a police case against me. Unfortunately, my bike insurance had lapsed, and I was about to leave for a job interview in Muscat. In the meantime, the hospital informed us that my mother had a blood clot in her brain and would need surgery. I prayed fervently for her recovery and begged the universe to help her overcome this crisis.

My father, a railway employee who also practiced homeopathy, decided against surgery and opted for homeopathic treatment. He brought my mother home under his care. With his treatment, my mother gradually recovered. For a few months, she experienced occasional dizziness, but eventually, she made a full recovery.

A lawyer friend of mine, Karjet, from Kottayam, settled the case out of court in Paravoor by admitting guilt and paying a fine. Afterward, I joined my job in Muscat.
