Never expected to die so suddenly.....but who can expect death! I am just twenty now. Not even made a quarter century and I am standing ( I am unable to sit in the vacant chair) next to my parents who are crying over my body. I am...sorry, my body is covered with many bandages....over head, left arm, left side of chest, left leg..... dammit! How many fractures did I had when I was alive! Thank god I can't feel them now.
The doctor has arrived and asked my parents to take the body. He was sad....but my parents did not hear him. So he left as he didn't find words to speak or do something.
My friends have come after an hour or so. All this time it was horrible to see them crying. My brother ishant has been calling...to know about me. No response from them and its hard to control them....they can't hear me or feel my hand....so I am a ghost afterall....
"Uncle, ishant bhaiyya is calling..." rajiv is the first one to look at the phone.
"He has been waiting to listen to his little brother's voice.....how can I tell him that aayush is gone! "
Well .... my dad is right. Ever since I have been in hospital, ishant is waiting to speak with me personally. He will be devastated if he hears about my death. Ah!....never thought I can have such influence on them. Why was I so reckless? I should have been careful. Careful while driving. Instead I have got in wrong way to escape the traffic, cursed every one on my way.....against whom I was going. And at last I have tried to use my brake when I saw a kid playing on the road....he was actually playing just outside the house. The road was too narrow....and I was driving my bike at high speed. the brakes failed and I lost control over my vehicle and my life too.....
rajiv, praveen, rishi, mohit have come here and crying for me....I am unable to stop them crying....It's unbearable to hear their cries.....the sound is too loud.....too deafening for me......
Why am I still here? I heard some one takes away the soul after they are dead. Please god dont say this is my punishment. ....for my reckless driving.....and killing myself in the process.....
I want to say something. Move something but I have no such powers so I am unable to help them. Their cries.....are like high decibel sounds.....I am closing my ears but its effect is not decreasing. Please stop crying....please, for me!
