It was last Monday; I got up from my bed as my wife brought my cup of tea.

"Good morning, darling." she greeted me.

I said with a smile, “Bonjour!”

“What?” my wife claims with astonishment.

“Bonjour” Uh..Merci?” I pause, confused.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you serious?”

I nodded.

She sat down closer to me in my bed and examined the temperature of my body, keeping her hand on my forehead. After giving me a questioning look, she handed me the glass of water and said, “Take this and wash your mouth.”.

After taking it, I cleaned my mouth. "What do you prefer for breakfast today?" she inquired as I handed it back to her.

I meant to respond with "milk rice," but the word again got stuck in my lips; instead, I said "riz au lait."

My wife realized something had happened when I attempted to respond with "M....."

I jumped out of bed, rushed to the mirror, and stared at myself. I tried to speak again, but only strange words were coming out.

“Oh, what nonsense you are talking about? What’s wrong with you? You are not normal. Let’s go to the doctor. "She accompanied me to a doctor.

When we met Mr. Perera, a physician, my wife described my problem.

"You went to bed speaking English, but when you wake up, you can't speak your language," he stated after listening carefully.

“Oui…I…mean yes,” I said.

“Do you know French?” Dr. Perera asked.

I nodded, meaning no.

"Then how does he know all these words?" my wife asked.

Dr. Perera said, after serious thought, "This is unusual. Do you remember any dreams from last night?"

“Yes, I was in a big city; they were talking in French. They taught me words and showed me very beautiful places. I understood everything," I replied. (Oui, j'étais dans une grande ville ; ils parlaient en français. Ils m'apprennent des mots et me montrent de très beaux endroits. Je comprends tout", répondis-je)

"Now you can't speak English at all," Dr. Perera asked.

I nodded my head in response, indicating no.

'Oh! Doctor, what will happen now?" My wife was worried.

"It is a rare condition. His brain was replaced with another language. It might be temporary. Let's do something," the doctor replied.

The doctor gave him some tablets and said, "When you go home, listen to more English programming." And he turned to my wife and said, "You remind him of all the words in English for every item. Then gradually everything will be okay.

After going home, I listened to more English programs and learned English words for everything.

After a few weeks, I could speak in English. Later, we both stay happy.

I would like to invite @nishadi89, @zulbahri, and @waqarahmadshah to take part in this contest.

Thank you for reading my entry.
