Sneak Peak

It was a sunny day, the sun's gaze is entirely on earth. Rajan woke up when what he thought the sun was peeking through his window with only motive to wake him up but somehow he could feel nature's warmth. Meanwhile, a cold breeze swept him over like a blanket against the sun's gaze. He wished to turn around, cover blanket over his head and sleep, only if it was his usual day. He could sense that he is not at all in the daily comfort of his bed, in fact, he feels that he is on his room floor. There was something odd that was going on which he couldn't quite get it. Rajan could feel acute pain on his face, he tried searching for his partner on the bed above but he was not able to move his hand. He tried opening his eyes, all he could do was to close more than opening his eyes, he was strained, in pain and in agony. He dozed off to infinity.

Rajan woke up for an alarming sound which seems like a vehicle passing with great speed and honking, he felt someone did it purposefully at his home to wake him up. Still, he was not able to open his eyes, he had pain covered all over his body, not the blanket which he wished for. He finally put all his energy to open his eyes, with that much of energy one could open 10 eyes if they had. Rajan's first reaction was WOW!! what a sight, that would have been his reply if it was his trip out. It was a sight to watch; trees around, sun shining bright, at times he could hear birds chirping at a distance, and at times nearby, he could see the road in front of him. He realized that he was sitting with the support of a tree and could not believe whether this was a dream or real. Questioning himself about the situation of being this dream or just real shit. He was in shock about the state he is in, his clothes were colored in blood patches, trying to remember how he ended up here and in this mess. After a lot of effort and thinking with such pain across his body, he finally could remember where he was last night.

He was at a party with friends at his grand mansion like a farmhouse. It was a wild one, illegal liquor flows, visitors came from everywhere, his farmhouse takes on a carnival atmosphere and he had lots of familiar faces around, everything was extravagant. One of Rajan's friends walked over to him and said, "thanks for inviting Rajan, such a nice party that I have been in a long time". Rajan responded saying, "my pleasure bro!! My Pleasure!!! Just enjoy the party!!! It's my birthday!!!"

Tina, Rajan's girlfriend, she was tall, beautiful, intelligent modern yet traditional. Everyone would cry for her sight, she is more sense, less shit person. Rajan and Tina were on one of the corners and they were discussing life. Tina as usual started about things that would always end up with endless fightings, "hey Rajan have you given any thought of us getting married????" She could see Rajan's face turning to pinkish red, irritated with that question. He was not interested in the perspective of marriage, he wanted to enjoy life, for now, procrastinate marriage thing until he is ready but not willing to admit about it, he said with little agitation in his voice, "can we not talk about that now, please???" Tina felt offended and started screaming at the top of her voice, "you never ever want to marry me, it's all a joke for you. Tell me are you really serious about me?? Or is it just timepass for you as usual???? Let me know!!" Rajan was taken aback with what was coming, he stared at her with anger and he just left her standing alone with her own voice echoing.

Rajan took a bottle of alcohol, very agitated, and started drinking lost in his own thoughts. Rajan finished the whole bottle. His friends came and spoke to him. He raged towards them for no reason and rushed towards his car. Many tried stopping him from driving at that time of night under the influence. One is his own king and queen. He rejected to listen to each and everyone, pulled himself into his car and raced away into darkness.

Everything was so clear to him until that point of time, but he couldn't render anything beyond that. He thought he met with accident but he couldn't find his car wrecked nearby as it was a plain road with trees but then thought he had been robbed and beaten to death. They have left him alone to die here. He put all his efforts to get up, failed again and again. He was grumbling about robbers who left him to die in this plain. After several attempts, he finally managed to stand up and he started to walk. He did limp for 2-3 steps and then finally fell down, with his continuous efforts he was able to walk. He started walking down the road, he was thirsty and he was in pain. He tried signaling people for lift, no one stopped. He walked for long which felt like hours to him until he reached home wrecked, tired and vulnerable. He could see a few people outside his home, he recognized them as his friends and also remembered that they are the one's who tried to speak to him and stop him from driving.

Waving his hand Rajan marched towards them, they didn't seem like responding to him and didn't come to help him either looking at his situation. With guilt and embarrassment, he started walking towards home. All he wanted to do is sleep for limitless time. Walking a bit forward he could spot so many people around his home, to his shock he was not sure what is happening. He tried to run and reach home just to see his parents, siblings, everyone crying in front of his corpse. He just couldn't believe this, he was against this kind of practical jokes nonetheless he understands the situation when no one notices him. He was long dead than he could even imagine, he had no body, only soul left to reprimand his decision a night ago. He wanted just one chance to go back and make it right, just a tiny bit of chance somehow to make everything right. He was ready to give up everything to go back in time but he realized it's done and can't be changed and things got clear to him. He started crying his heart out which could have been heart-wrenching to watch only if he was alive. We are living in a world where people don't listen to a living person cry, how can anyone hear a poor soul. He felt it wasn't meant to happen, it's all still dream, he wanted to wake up now, he had enough of it but...

While driving last night under the influence of alcohol, he met with an accident with an oncoming vehicle and died at that instant. Ask this question to yourself... Rajan got a chance to reprimand after death, but will you??? Wake up when you have time. Ending with the below note: " Don't drInk and drive."
