Last week was not the best of weeks for me, and somehow it became worse better this week. I have been having some bills to settle, and in the midst of those bills not yet settled, my phone happened to get crushed. The feeling of this happening weakened me and brought the thought of the expenses it would take to bring the phone back to life.
It just happened yesterday when I was going to get gas for my generator. I took my bag, where I could keep my phones, and took the 12.5kg of gas with me on a bike to the gas plant. I got to the gas station, paid for the gas using a bank transfer with my phone, and then I put my phone back into my bag so that the screen would not break in my pocket while carrying the 12.5 kg of gas on my lap.
When I was heading back home, I suddenly noticed that my bag was open. I checked, and saw the zip of my bag had worn out; this caused my phone to fall while on the bag. At that point, I checked my bag and could only see my Android phone in it, but my iPhone was missing.
I checked the floor around where I stopped the bike but could not find the phone. This time, I had to tell the bike man to wait while I walked back slowly to look for my phone. I had to trek back, looking at the floor, in hopes of finding my phone, but I could not find it at all. I even got back to the gas plant where I had earlier filled my gas, but the phone had not yet been found.
I went back to meet the bike man and had to drop my gas at home. When I got home, I met two of my friends who came to visit me. I told them about the situation, and they followed me back to look for the phone. While on the way, we were calling the phone, and it was ringing, but no one picked it up. I felt that since no one picked it up, it would still be on the floor somewhere.
I had to call my brother, who was in another state, to see if he could use his iPhone to trace mine. He told me the location of the phone, which was exactly the point where we were, but we could not see the phone. Then later on, my brother called me to tell me that the phone was moving and that there was a possibility that someone had picked it up.
We called and called until I got someone who picked up my call. He told me to meet him at a particular location, which was not far from where I noticed my bag was open. He also demanded that I give him something before I collect my phone from him.
When I saw him, I was so heartbroken to see the state of my phone. I did not even know what to say. He told me that he found it on the floor and that sand had covered it up, and maybe a vehicle had crossed over the phone, causing a dent on it. I gave him all the money I had on me and collected my phone.
I was so glad to have found my phone, but at the same time, I was heartbroken to see the condition of my phone. There is a saying that says a dead child is better than a missing child. This means that at least I know the condition of my phone, which is better than being depressed about my phone being missing.
So here are the pictures of the phone:

The state of your phone is sad, I think there is a high probability that I will experience something similar at any moment. Although it hasn't broken yet, I lose it very often.
I pray that you don't experience something similar. Please try to take good care of your phone.
Oh, thank you very much for that wish. You're a wonderful person! :)
Sorry about your phone. Glad you found it
Damn, brother. I'm pained. Does it still work? It's going to cost so much to fix it. Camera. Screen. Back glass. Must have been ran over by a car or something.
As for the guy that took money from you to hand you your phone, his reward surely isn't in heaven.
yeah it must have been ran by a car because it is not meant to have that much damage from just a single fall.
The guy that collected my money. See ehn, let leave that one aside.
You are right about the sentiment of missing and not knowing what has happened.
The phone is back in your possession, you can figure out a way to bring it back to life
Thank you for sharing
Peace
hey brother.. Thanks for coming around. I am glad that I have it on me, and that makes me feel better.
time to get a new iphone and a new bag O.O? RIP to your iphone but who knows maybe it can be fixed?
yeah the iPhone can be fixed but it would cost some money to do so. yeah I would have to add getting a new bag to my list of things to buy.
oh i see that's awesome if the iphone can be fixed. getting a new bag should be good so your android doesn't also see the same fate. you got this! i should get you to start gaming too
Actually, my Android is not working properly again as of now. I don't have a functioning phone at the moment. texting you from my PC.
O.O wait what why? You don't have your own hive account on your PC?
Can understand what you going through... friends some situation are not in our hands , with the god grace you got your mobile phone... If you can't afford a new phone then repair it...
yeah repairing it is the option I have now. I would get a new phone when it is within my capacity.
That moment when you have to walk back slowly to looking for your lost item. How your heart beats so fast. I’ll never wish that experience on anyone.
The way I always pray that my phone doesn’t get spoilt in this economy. Imagine having to buy an iPhone screen, the back glass and all of that. By the time everything is done, you’d have spent a lot of money.
I’m sorry you had to go through all this but as you said, a dead child is better than a missing child.
You can relate so well.
I am just glad that I found the phone, even with the condition. I can just choose to repair it compared to having it missing.
I hope you get to repair it soon enough.
Oh no..this sad , i hate to see my phone in bad state.. probably a bike indeed had crossed over the phone truly for it to be in this state. I know that iPhone is a strong phone but I don't know the degree of this damage, that is if it would be repairable but hopefully, it will
So sorry about that star ⭐
Chaii, omoo
Not this when your exams are about to begin
