Most Embarrassing Experience
1️⃣ Everybody has one.... you know.... that moment when you'd like to crawl under a rock and never come out! So, we want to know what has been your most embarrassing moment ever?
So, in the past it happened when I was maybe 14/15 years old and having Final Exams to upgrade to another class which is a public examination students take in Bangladesh. So, that I have to achieve the certificate which is JSC full form is Junior School Certificate to upgrade to another level. Okay so, let’s start the story as I have always said that I never had any friends even if I had try to make some it was always one sided. So, in my class I found some who didn’t accept me and there were 2 girls one is Sumaya and another is Sukhi they both were best friends since 5th grade. I was newly transferred to the school in 8th grade so I have always thought them as my friends. I didn’t talk to the boys much back then because I was very shy. Sumaya the topper in our class every teacher praised her so did I. One day I planned to sit with her in the class when the math teacher came shouted and told me to go and seat in the back bench. Actually that teacher didn’t didn’t like me because I refused to have her as my tutor at home. But Sumaya used to take her tuition so teacher used to adore her and I have never complained about it. Every day after the classes had finished before going home I used to give her a hug. Because I didn’t knew the words to comfort someone or make them feel good and create a bond. I thought she really liked me as a friend also sometimes I bought foods for her. She never had complained always smiled at me with a good gesture. So, Sukhi never liked it that I am being friendly with Sumaya so, she used to ignore me but I treated her the same way as Sumaya. Sumaya and Sukhi sometimes they used to copy my Homework I never minded about it but when I wanted any kind of help with the homework they never helped me out. I did not ever hold any grudges against them for that.
Almost the 1 year is about to complete and the JSC exam had arrived. The first day I was very nervous even though my parents did not put any kind of pressure on me for that. It’s just that I am always being nervous on the first day of the exams. I had arrived with my mother and I saw Sumaya and Sukhi standing in the playground revising books before the exam starts. At first I hugged them both and I started to study along with them. The time arrived and we had to get in the class and the seating pattern was like Sumaya seating in the middle of me and Sukhi. Sumaya was infront of me and we all had someone beside us from another school. So first Exam was really good I didn’t stop to write because I knew the answers of them all. Then Sumaya kept asking me answers while I was writing. She said she didn’t have anything common so I let her have a look at my sheets moreover told her the answers she couldn’t solve. Also Sukhi was calling my name so that I could help her too. After finishing my exams I still stayed in the class and tried to help whoever didn’t knew the answers. Actually there’s a reason for me to do that in Bangladesh study system is very hard and students attempt suicide if they fail in the exams because their parents feel ashamed of them. These news are common and I didn’t want anyone to fail so I tended to help as much as I can to make someone pass the exams.
The next day and also the day after that day I have helped Sumaya and Sukhi as much as I could. here comes the day which I could never forget. So it was math exam and I didn’t find anything common only a few. So, I called Sumaya to help me with one she said she will help me out after she is finished writing one. Then I saw the girls sitting beside her was disturbing her since day 1 to let her have the answers. Even Sukhi was pressuring Sumaya so I kept quite for a while and write the other question answers. 10 minutes left before the exam ends again I asked if she could help me with one answer she declined and then didn’t force her. I could understand that she was having a hard time. Her parents are strict she always has to score the best.
Moreover, before leaving I saw my bestfriend Promita we had studied together from on 6th grade but got admitted to a different school. So I hugged her and was happy to see her in my hall. So, the next day I arrived at the road beside exam hall and I didn’t see Sumaya so decided to wait for her with my mom. Finally I saw her with her Aunt and I hugged her tightly and said “where were you? Why are you soo late ? Are you sick?” I had noticed that she didn’t hug me back she was standing still without any reaction. Then her aunt started to tell my mom “Because of your daughter my niece couldn’t write anything properly her math exam was ruined because of your daughter she kept disturbing her. Why she came to give exams if she didn’t study well. How will you pay back if my niece couldn’t get a good score in Math exam.” I was so shocked I started to reply “what! Nothing happened liked that I never have disturbed her I only asked her twice.” I was looking at Sumaya she looked away and stayed numb. Later on my mom was very mad at me all of these was happening in a public place where everyone was starring at us because the Aunt was shouting. My mom slapped me on the face in-front of everyone and said “why did you ask her did we ever asked you to get a good grade or anything, why did you create this kind of situation.” I was feeling to embarrassed then they both left and my mom cried and hugged me saying that I shouldn’t have asked anyone at the first place. It was the most embarrassing day of my life which I never had imagined. Everyone was looking at me and mom and I felt soo bad. After that day I stopped talking with Sumaya and Sukhi didn’t even look at them and they also ignored me. I had realised she had done this to save her image in-front of her parents she didn’t care what I would think of her. She put the blame on me because during math exam she didn’t know the answers to the questions she was scared her parents would be mad and she had decided to blame someone for that. She didn’t blame Sukhi because she was her bestfriend and didn’t blame the girl beside her because she wanted to create her great image in-front of her. In the end I didn’t matter at all she choose to blame me. I also think that now it was not wise to ask her anything if I didn’t knew the answer I could have left it out but I only had asked because I did the same for them and I thought I was their friends. But they never thought me as their friend. Also I was heartbroken because my mother didn’t listen to what I had to explain but all of a sudden she vented out everything on me after listening to them. Like this was a horrible thing my mom and myself got insulted in a public place and after that I was also embarrassed about that I thought someone as a friend who didn’t think me as one like I was feeling like a fool. So, yeah that’s my story!
Well, because of this embarrassing incident after so many years I still do not ask for any help during exams. If I don’t know the answer so prefer not to write it. But I do try to help someone if they want my help but I don’t expect anything in return. Whenever, I think of this memory I really do want to crawl under a rock.
