All people lose one thing or the other in their life. It mostly happens when people become forgetful because of multi-tasking or an extremely busy schedule. People tend to forget some things when they have too many things on their mind. I also lost a number of my belongings so far, as I am a terrible multi-tasker, some were found back but some got lost forever. Here I will talk about a time when I misplaced something but then found it back.

Yesterday, I slept till late in the morning as I was sick and thus I did not go to college. By the time I woke up my parents were long gone for work. Although my mother had prepared oatmeal for me for breakfast, I was not in the mood to eat it. I decided to make 2 parathas for myself. I went to the kitchen and began to knead some dough. I removed both my gold rings and put them on the shelf as I did not want the dough to adhere to them. I kneaded the dough and made parathas. By that time, it was 11:30 am so I was very hungry. I served them hot onto a plate with curd and pickles and ate my breakfast. After that I cleaned the kitchen platform and washed the dishes. Afterwards I prepared tea for myself and while I sipped on the tea, I made my pending assignment. Furthermore, I went upstairs to take shower at around 1:30 pm. When I came back downstairs at 2:30 pm my parents were back home for lunch. I went to the kitchen to drink some water and all of a sudden, I recalled that I had left my rings there. I tried looking for them everywhere but in vain. I quietly went upstairs to my room and searched the whole room and washroom but couldn’t. My heart was in my mouth and I was scared about how my parents would react when I told them about that mishap. But finally, I gathered the courage and went to my mother in the kitchen and told her that I couldn’t find my rings. My father who was sitting at the dining table started laughing and I was shocked upon seeing their reaction. She told me to look for it in the crockery cupboard and when I opened the cupboard the rings were lying right there! I heaved a sigh of relief and my parents advised me to be more careful about such pricy belongings.
