So yesterday, the basin in my bathroom fell apart like Humpty Dumpty and I bet not even the king's horses and all the king's men can put that basin back again.
I was in the room watching this J-Friends 2001 Concert when the whole house shook accompanied with a loud crashing, I thought, "What is that girl doing anyway in the bathroom" and continued my vcd, a few moments after my door was banged in a barbaric way and I responded with, "Yes? Just come in." smoothly. The banging continued accompanied by shouts like, "Come out now!" So I eventually paused my computer and went out to see two pale, numb looking housemates. Then I said, "What?"
"The wash basin fell down!"
"Oh.. Ok.."
"The water can't stop flowing, you've got to stop it!"
"What!?!?!" and I ran to my bathroom but they stopped me and said I should wear my slippers. So I ran back to my room, put on my slippers and got out again. The room 2 was open, Preethi-not wasn't anywhere in sight so I thought it was the basin in room 2, but they laughed at me and said it's in my bathroom. So I ran to the kitchen and saw a haggard looking woman with nothing on but towels, looking dumbly at the bathroom. It was Preethi-not. The other housemate told me to turn off the water since it's bursting out of what used to be the hole for the pipe. I went in, got half wet, decided that I don't have anything strong enough to plug the hole to stop the water. I went out again, Preethi-not was still there, staring, and I noticed that there are blood allover dripping from her. So I asked, "Are you hurt? Where?"
She just pointed to her leg and said "I'm okay"
Blood was leaking from a hole in her leg, it wasn't a large hole, but deep enough for the blood to rain down.
I hurried and said, "Go and tend to your foot now, get dressed and I'll call JT (name of hostel master)"
