It Happened To Me

This incident occurs when i was studying in Vth grade. Me and my friend sadhna once visited to our friend kavita's house when she was ill and continously absent from school for 3 days. She was living in a multistorey building Anandlok in mayur vihar ph.-I. Kavita's house was on vth floor, the building was 7 floor high. there was a lift. Me and my friend Sadhna were very much delighted by the mere thought of lift. We were more excited for using lift rather then meeting our ailing friend Kavita. Anyhow when we reached in the society area our heart was thumping with joy our heartbeat was riding on a roller coster, thought of going in a lift was like a joyride for us. We were so happy that i cant explain u in words, I still felt that time of happiness in my heart. Finally, we reached at our destination of happiness, which was Lift. While standing in front of the Lift ,we saw at each other, as we were astronauts and going in a space craft....oh God what a twinkle of joy in our eyes....i dont remember who pressed first the opening button of Lift...but when it opened we happilly loaded ourselves into it....now the second step of operating Lift came, which floor to go? We were on the ground floor at that time but when we closed the lift we forget at which floor we were. now i pressed the G marked button which is for ground floor after pressing this, lift opened and we came out of it, then we realised that we were already in the ground floor, we again loaded ourselves in the lift now sadhna looked at me like i am an idiot i felt ashamed now its her turn to press the button she pressed the 5 marked button, i dont know what happened whether we cant get notice of the movement of lift or lift was taking 2-3 seconds time to move upward, suddenly we felt fear of non-movement of lift..in a haste we pressed ground floor button....then without thinking twice we pressed 5 th floor button....we were so frightened that goosebumps spread over our whole body, i cried sadhna and sadhna said sangeeta....now we both started crying....we were thinking that our end has come nobody will ever got our bodies, nobody will ever find us...we are gone forever....me and sadhna was wailing and calling mummy-mummy....we started thumping at the lift door....while crying we were continously pressing lift buttons...suddenly the door opened and in a hurry we came out of it there were standing some women when they saw us crying, they asked why we were crying, they were trying to open the lift from 4-5 minutes, but the lift was going sometimes upward and sometimes downward without opening.....now I hope u all understand why the lift was working so maniacally..because we were pressing lift buttons repeatedly....without giving answer to their questions, we ran towards main gate...we want to get rid of the mere sight of that dreadful Lift.....since then we never looked back to that haunted place named Lift......that day of fobia still following me .......when in year 2005 i came for an interview in my present place of job.....u know what happened to me....receptionist told me to go on sixth floor for interview...u can imagine what was my state at that time....i was feeling ashamed to tell receptionist that i fear lift where is the stairway....I approached towards Lift waited for 2-3 minutes what to do....then a lady came there she opened the lift I boarded the lift with her, she pressed 2nd floor when I stand still she asked me where u want to go I said 6th floor, she pressed 6 marked button when she was abt to leave at 2nd floor I asked her for a favour if she can leave me at 6th floor...she smiled and did so......thank god I passed the interview....and now i am a littile bit over that age longed fobia of Lift......I hope the post is not boring..........
