The Woman Upstairs
Every morning at exactly 7:15, someone upstairs dropped something.
Bang.
Every single day.
One day I finally went upstairs.
An old woman opened the door.
I asked politely,
“Aunty, what keeps falling every morning?”
She looked embarrassed.
“My alarm clock.”
I stared at her.
“Every day?”
She nodded.
“It falls when I try to turn it off.”
I laughed.
The next morning, there was no sound.
No bang.
No alarm.
Nothing.
I got worried and went upstairs.
She opened the door smiling.
“I bought a new alarm.”
“Problem solved?”
She nodded.
“Completely.”
Then she whispered,
“But honestly… I miss throwing the old one.”

Sometimes the solution works so well that you end up missing the problem That last line genuinely made me laugh. 😭😂
maybe she was so lonely that the sound made her feel someone's presence or maybe it was given by her husband kr friend or someone special.... I'm sorry I don't know but it was so special for her, atleast I think that it was 🤷🏻♀️😅
