An Urgent Call

avatar

I am a nocturnal person. I am a guy who is always awake till late at night. This is not a habit of mine for a few days. It is a habit from my school life when I was in class 10 I studied till the late at night from that time this bad habit was being caught. I know this is a bad habit so I tried a lot to get rid of it and I succeeded. But because of the Corona pandemic last year, when the whole country was being locked, I spent a lot of lazy time and this habit is re-attached to my life. Lockdowns have recently been lifted from all countries and living standards are slowly returning to normal. So, I am trying to change my bad habit.

last night, I want to go to bed at one o'clock. Suddenly a friend of mine knocked me out and asked for my blood group. I replied, " My blood group is O(+ve). "
He immediately asked me, " where are you now? " I told my location. " Can you donate blood now, It's very emergency? ", He told me. Ok, let me give a minute to think. Even though I wanted to donate blood, I have never been donated blood before. Most of my friends laugh at me for not giving blood to anyone so far and they think I'm scared so I don't give blood. But that’s not true at all.

First of all, I would like to say, My blood is not a rare one. O(+ve) is one of the most common blood and this is one of the major reasons why I haven't donated blood. Secondly, I would like to say about my family. In the past, whenever I told my parents about blood donation, my parents always refused. This is the most major reason why I have not to donate my blood yet.

Late at night, everyone in my house was sleeping at that time. I was wondering what I should do by calling him. I took a deep breath and called him that I was coming to donate my blood, no need to worry. The hospital where I was going to donate blood is two kilometres away from my home. As it was a very late night, I found a close friend of mine online I required him to come with me.

At night as everyone was asleep I opened the main gate silently of my house and went out without telling anyone. There were no people on the streets, Finding no vehicles on the road, my friend and I started walking. After a while, we saw an empty rickshaw and with that, we went to the hospital.

Since I was going to donate blood for the first time, I was a little nervous. But, luckily everything went well, I didn’t feel any weakness. After donating blood, the patient's husband came to me and expressed his gratitude. He has a very small job and It has the fourth child and It's his first boy child, so she cried with joy. Afterwards, I went to see the newborn baby, the baby was very cute. May the son change his luck and fulfil his father's desires.

I was very happy to be able to help people at such a time. It was such a great experience of mine. If you donated your blood, you can share your first blood donation with me in the comments section. I will glad to hear. And if you haven't donated blood yet, you may try your best when you get the chance. Because It has a great feeling. There is different kind of happiness and self-satisfaction in helping people.

Congratulations on breaking the ice.
The first time always makes us nervous but once you overcome this barrier you would love to repeat this noble work again and again.
I pray for the quick recovery of the patient and your wellbeing.

That's so kind of you! At least you've saved a life. I always feel scared too to donate blood though I've never been asked to do so but when I see people donating, I'm always asking myself series on f questions like, won't they lose blood as well, won't they be so weak that they can't even walk? But I see that those who have donated blood always come back safe and sound too and that's lovely.

To be honest I feel no weakness after donating blood. If you get a chance to donate blood to someone, I would say donate your blood. Because It has a great feeling when you help someone you can feel.
