Very short trip to Chittagong

I had a sudden trip to Chittagong on Tuesday. It was really painful and interesting to me.
On Tuesday my younger brother called me about 2:30pm. He was staying over there from 7th of this month for attending the physical test to "Bangladesh Marine Academy". The exam has 5 individual part on 5 individual day. The students has to bring all the necessary papers long with them for the exam. My brothers exam was scheduled from 10th to the 14th of this month. On the other hand 14th January was the last day for the students who got the chance to admit themselves to "Dhaka University". This information was declared on the 12th of this month. My young brother Shazib informed me on the 13th January and asked me what will he do?
I found that there are 3 option to cover the whole situation. As Shazib don't need the paper with him after the viva test on 11th January, I can bring the paper to Dhaka. For doing that the 3 option are...

1. To send via Courier service. (S A Paribahan is the fastest and reliable one)

2. To send the paper via some one.

3. I can go to Chittagong and bring the paper to Dhaka in time.

I found that if I go over there it would be stressful and costly but the safest. So I told him to buy a ticket for me from Chitagong to Dhaka at midnight. And I went to the bus stand at 3:20pm and found that there is a bus leaving at 3:30pm. I can call myself lucky that I got a seat on that bus. And my journey started.
The bus was not a better one and the road was much busy. On the way when the bus reached to Sayedabad there was a trouble of seat plan of the bus. Someone sold a same seat to two individual person. There I lost 1 hour of my time. I was little bit worried but didn't panic for the delay. Anyway the counter man somehow solved the problem and we started towards Chittagong. The road was really full of traffic.
We reached at Chittagong at 10:30pm. So I rushed to a CNG cab and gave the direction of the hotel where Shazib is staying. It took only 10 min to reach there. Then I felt some relaxed. I lied down on the bed, had some breathing, refreshed myself, took the paper and went down to have some food as I didn't get the time to have my lunch.
After having supper I has a little walk with Shazib on the side road, had a cup of tea. When I looked at my watch I found that it was about 11:45pm. My bus gonna leave at midnight. The counter was beside the hotel where Shazib stayed. It was "Green Line Paribahan". I saw that the bus has arrived to the stand. So I got into the bus. The bus started at just midnight. It is one of the leading Bus company of Bangladesh. The condition of hte bus was really good.
But my fate was not good enough. It had decided to make me suffer. That night was one of the most dark night of this year. The Fog was so thick that nothing was visible after 30 feet ahead. All the Flights were cancelled on that night. The bus was running really slow and carefully. We are really thankful to Allah that we were saved but there were 6 bus and truck had accident that night. The road was blocked for about 3 hours. The good news is none were dead on that accident. The bus supposed to reach Dhaka within 6:30am in the morning but for that accident we reached at 9:30 in the morning.
After that I took a Rickshaw and reached home at 10:30am. I was really really so exhausted with the trip. But the good part was I managed to bring the paper in time to Dhaka.
