This is not much long ago when I faced this petrifying moment. Though I am a village I am not as stout psychologically and physically as my father and uncles are. The reason for this might be less exposure to risks and fears. I am not the one who hates or fears the animals. I believe animals teach you loyalty, discipline, and self-care in many ways. Being a cynophile I share very healthy moments with dogs. Not just me but my whole family is also fond of dogs. That's why dogs have been around me throughout and this is the reason I don't fear stray dogs even unlike many persons who lose their nerves while seeing a dog coming towards them.
I have always felt a fear of reptiles. I don’t know why but whenever I see even the smallest of them I experience a very weird terrifying feeling. Lizards and snakes are very common in my area but still, I am not accustomed to them. I always ask someone to accompany me in any place I fear them staring at me. I have many encounters with snakes especially those that are enough to make me feel embarrassed of manhood.
But the event I am going to narrate to you is neither of snake nor lizard yet it belongs to another member of reptiles i.e Varanus. It is called GOH in the subcontinent. I was coming out of the washroom in a hostel when I saw him on the road with his tongue out. I was coming in my swing. It was all of a sudden when I saw Varanus. I was benumbed due to this terrible sight. It was black greenish and very huge. I don’t whether that was venomous or nonvenomous but the way he was excreting his saliva was clearly tellingme that this was gonna be my last day.
I was not able to get scream. There were two reasons for this. First I didn't want varanus to look toward me and attack and eat me. Second, what will peop think that this robust man is so much timid and coward. I stood there not less than 15 minutes. My heart was palpitating with high speed and I was excessively sweated . To my fortune , a boy has to pass there and seeing me in terrified state,he inquired me. I couldn't mutter a word and just pointed him towards Varanus through hand and eye cues. He immediately rushed outside to bring some stick. He came back with a stick and he battered it on the tail of Vanarus due to which varanus ran towards my side and I started screaming and jumping with fear. A WASHING machine was present there, so I jumped onto it😂. Listenin' my scream, many people appeared on the spot. The Varanus was still there inside. Two of them came inside and then again applied a stick. This time Varanus rushed outside and disappeared. I was still sitting on the washing machine in a traumatized condition and the boys were laughing at me. This is how my fear of an animal has recently abashed me in front of others.
I learned no lesson from it because I still fear them even worse. But I realised one thing that if one intends he can jump on washing machine no matter how much weight he is carrying.Those boys still smirk at me because everytime they see me they remember me sitting on machine😂
