Students Deaths are Hard to Handle

Death. The brutal truth. The inevitable thing which can never be changed. The shocking fact is, no matter how much power you have and how much money you spend, it will never be altered. Death will come to you suddenly and do it’s job. You cannot do anything about it. We all have to surrender to it. The only way to end the journey here on earth.
Hello, family. You must be in shock. Maybe thinking that this guy always remained happy. So what happened today? What happened to me? Yeah, I'm sad and broken. I'm upset and I'm not in mood of fun. But you are my family and friends around here and how could I not share my pain with you? Taking a deep breathe. Inhaling & exhaling. Yes, I'm ok and ready to tell.
Yesterday when I was answering your contents and enjoying moments with you all, suddenly my phone ringed. One of my colleague called me. I picked up the phone and he delivered the shocking news. One of our student of class 2, named Tamim had died in a road accident a few moments ago. I wasn't ready for that. No. He added that two days ago he came with his mother and got admitted from class 1 to class 2. I knew everything because I was the teacher at that desk then. I was the person who registered his name on the class list. With a blink of eyes, that cute boy is no more! I just put down the phone and remained silent. That student was not that close to me or familiar with me as I attend higher sections classes. But I always made funny names over them whenever I crossed their classes like big bunny, healthy mosquito, sharp teeth rabbit etc.
Completely in shock as I was feeling the pain. Another colleague called me and informed me that he was crossing the road with his mother who was holding her baby girl (his sister) in her lap. Tamim was holding her finger while crossing it. A monstrous truck panicked him with it’s sound and he remained alone on road while his mother crossed the road. With a glimpse of seconds, everything changed. His mother shouting, people's screaming, trucks horn everything ended with that hit. Fully loaded truck ended his life right on that spot. The dream, the hope, the desire ended right there. I put my phone down. Tears started flowing down. I had no one to share this pain. Mom was busy with some guests. I had my conversation with Mazekin a few hours ago and couldn’t call her again. I did what I do always, remained silent.
It is so hard for a teacher to see his own student die in front of him, to mourn on his death, to be present in his funeral. I did that all in last 24hrs. In fact, it was the second time in this month. I didn’t share my another pain with you guys. I kept it inside. A few days ago, one of my ex student committed suicide at home. Why? Failure in love. What was his age? Just 19 years and he took the worst decision of his life. We reached there and saw his mother crying like a mad. I remained silent that day too.
These two incidents broke me badly but what to do? Who can fight with our fate? People say that we can change our fate and rewrite it. Well my dears, those words are only for turning your life into success but not to change the death fate. Every living thing will die. Sooner or later, we have to return to our Creator. No doubt in this inevitable fact.
Death has no age restrictions. From a just born baby to 100+ old person, everyone has their numbers to be counted back. I'm writing this to you now but has no surety to write again tomorrow. Not even sure that I can post it or not. The ultimate truth will justify our legacy. Be prepared for your test.

Suicide should never be an option to end whatever bad happened no matter what. It should never.
I pray God consoles you and the family of that lad 😭. It won't happen again. Amen 🤧
