It was a very chilly and blistery day in one of the most frigid and icy cities in India, Shimla. It was so harsh and raw. People could not go out of the house only. People were feeling nippy and were shivering like anything. The residents of Shimla had a hard time. Every day, snow would keep on falling into the cars and their entrance to the house and people would take extra time and put in extra effort to remove it. Here snowstorms, icicles, ice scrapers, and many more like this were common. People were wearing such fat clothes. It was subzero.

In a massive house, lived a couple. There was a man named Deep and a woman who was his wife, Sonam. Deep was very tall and slim while Sonam had a medium height and was plump. Deep was wearing an anorak jacket, a cap, a sweater, socks, and boots while Sonam was wearing leggings, cashmere, base layers, sherpa, and a cardigan. They both sat near the fireplace and were elated.

Suddenly, Deep had a plan. He thought of playing football with his friends. He always found playing football in winter was better than playing in summer. Deep loved winters and football a lot. Deep went to wear his clothes to play football in.

After Deep was ready, Sonam informed him that a snowstorm was just about to come. Sonam said that when you were in the office, some days back, a snowstorm came, then in the evening an ice scraper came, and icy precipitation happened side by side. Icicles came as well late at night. So, then, you know what happened. Deep told Sonam that it is all nonsense what you said, nothing happens in a snowstorm, okay? Deep told Sonam to stop speaking. Deep didn’t understand what Sonam said. He didn’t want to take care of himself. Soon, his friends called him, and he went. The moment Deep started running, the snowstorm started and as it started, he fell badly. His leg got a fracture, that to a major fracture. It was severely paining like anything. His friends took it likely. But Sonam told them to run away. She shouted. Sonam called the ambulance after 2 hours when the snowstorm was in control.

The ambulance came in an hour and took Deep and Sonam to the hospital. The dangerous and life-threatening snowstorm stopped in the middle of their way. When they reached, Deep lay down and a plaster was put. Sonam asked the doctor how much time he recover. The doctor said a month. Sonam was shocked and startled to hear this.

After a month, Sonam came to the hospital. She was feeling very lonely. She missed Deep a lot. She then helped Deep and Deep was finally fine. The doctor said you should take care. So, did, Sonam tell him that? Deep regretted. He finally understood that in a snowstorm, taking care is much more important than just playing football. Deep only played when it was the right time.
