INEVITABLE QUARANTINE

Jul 29, 2020 4 years ago

Infinity Story... Two months later after the last virus, and today I hear about new viruses. Today is exactly two months since the last quarantine. And every day I wake up at 8:30, then have my breakfast, after which dress my clothes and went out. Often, I go to visit my dad. So, today I am planning to go to his office. I have time till 10:00, so I decide to watch TV, though usually prefer watching YouTube. I turn on the TV set and start looking for movies or something entertaining, but after switching the third channel I suddenly stop on the news channel. There was a report about new virus. Oh, no-it's already two months that we are in quarantine and now again? Should the lockdown be prolonged for two more months? I turn off the TV and left to dad's office. While passing the station I suddenly remembered that exactly two months ago, after last quarantine, when the public transport was about to start working, I turned on the news channel and like today, there was a report, announcing about the new virus is coming, so ban on public transports continued. I wonder if today's news means, that public transports again will be shut down? It was announced before, that starting from today the ban on public transport is lifted and buses will resume their work. Strange, there are no buses on this street, neither I noticed a single bus on my way to dad's office. After five-ten minutes' walk, I was at dad's office. I was upset and told him about my concern about the lockdown, but he said, that it is hardly possible and there is no need to worry about new quarantine. I stayed in the office till 13:00. I turn on my notebook and till 12:00 watched the movie. Then after watching the movie I decided to listen to the news. Again, all news channels were talking about new viruses. It was so boring, I shut down my notebook and left to my lessons. On my way to English class, I pondered, what if the news about the new virus is just gossip? I wanted to check and verify the information, so I go to the bus station and decided to wait until the bus will come. I wait for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes...NO BUS. It becomes obvious, that bus will not come. It's true, we have a new virus and will be locked down again. I feel totally lost.. Since I was late for my lessons, I decided not to wait anymore, but suddenly heard the sound of the bus motor. I heard how the bus approaches the bus stop. It was very good, as I was late for my class. After riding the bus I was in an excellent mood all day. I called my friends and parents and told them about the bus, and about the end of the quarantine. They all were happy. On my way home, I bought food to celebrate the end of quarantine with my family. I was happy while I was walking home. TV was turned on, my family was watching the news channel. Right after I entered the room they tell me, that news about viruses is true and that lockdown is prolonged for two months more. It was killing..... -So, what's next? Are we all locked down again? My sister was completely indifferent. She stared at me and said: -Yes! Nothing changes. Why you bring all this food? What we are going to celebrate? It's not the first time. Why are you doing this stupid thing every time? -Why? Why everyone just accepts all this situation as it is? Why you all get used to being "imprisoned"? Is it only me, who wants to put a finish to all this mess and escape from this? Is it only me who dreams about freedom? My sister continued in a very calm manner: -Because you know, that quarantine is never to be finished. It was like this all my life and it should be like this all your life. What is the reason for you to expect something else? Accept it! Whom you are fighting against? I looked at her and said: -I will do it as long as it required, until the end of the quarantine. I am not going to give up! I run away..... Nerses Danielyan
