Bat in the house

Last night I had to get into an official call with the customer from home. I usually close the door and the windows in the room to make sure that there is no back ground noise when I login to the call. Last night was no different. I had closed the bedroom door and was doing some work that I had.

All of a sudden I heard my mother saying "Vavvazh". I heard her talking to my dad. She then walked into my room, asked me to keep the door closed saying there was a bat in the house. Since I was busy I did not give it much thought and continued to work despite hearing a commotion outside.

After the meeting was done, I went out and that is when my mom started explaining.

Mom: There was a bat in the house. It flew to that other bedroom

Me: Wait. What?? Bat?? Amma, what are you saying?

Mom: Yes. there was a bat and it flew. We were watching the television when I saw something black fly past the living room. When I told your father, he just continued watching the television.

Dad: What can I do. I did not see that. I was watching the television. I thought your mother was blabbering something.

Mom: That is why you should listen to what I say.

** Knowing that I should stop their argument, I intervened

Me: Then what happened? How did a bat fly to our house?

Mom: I don't know from where it came. Since we had kept our main door open, it just flew by to the room and did not know how to get out.

Dad: I was the one who finally got it out :)

Mom: Yes, yes. Your father got it out. It kept flying not knowing where to go.

Me: I still can't believe it. A bat was in our house. The bat that is a bird actually came in. But what we know is that they are only there inside abandoned houses or forests. How did they land up here.

Mom: Yes, i know. No idea. But I was terrified.

I have no clue from where the bat came in to our house but I was surprised. 

Today, when I came back home from office, our main door was closed. We usually leave it open until we go to bed. When asked my mom told me that she did not want to encounter another incident today. This was a precautionary measure :) :)
