Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Preface (The End)
The saying, "Life is what happens to you when you are busy planning them," have to say is one exceptionally meaningful thing anybody has ever said in the world. Never can we predict what would happen the very next minute forget a month or what happens a year later.
The sun's ray's woke her up that morning earlier than usual. She walked down the stairs and couldn't find anyone. Her parents weren't home neither could she find her sister. She decided to brush her teeth and have breakfast. But she didn't want to eat cereals. When she checked the refrigerator she couldn't find any bread either. She got irritated and walked back to her room. She saw Allen, her neighbour stepping of his house on his bike. She was sure that he must be going to the hypermarket to run an errand. She quickly changed in to her jean and a hoodie and ran out to get some bread.
The hypermarket was crowded. They were having the morning rush hour. She only had little time left before leaving to college.
Suddenly she heard some noises behind a few rows back, she walked towards the isle to see what it was and saw a masked man getting hold of things and pointing at a child, capturing him at gun shot. She was shocked and panicked the moment she witnessed the scene. She took the chance to go to the hypermarket so that she could enjoy watching her crush secretly and not end up facing a terror attack first thing in the morning. It turned to out to be such a terrible day.
She had no idea what was happening to her. All she could recall was that moment she was trying to save a child from the gun shot. The next moment she felt blood oozing out from her chest. She wanted to be brave in front of Allen, her crush, her neighbour since highschool. But unfortunately, fate gave her a chance to die in his arms. It felt funny at that moment. As the bullet pierced her heart, she heard him scream her name and rush over to her. She saw him calling for the ambulance and the police once the culprit was pinned down by the people on the street. Who would have expected to die on a sunny day in front of a hypermarket while buying groceries. She was glad she saved the child. She was glad she had him close to her. But the pain was unbearable that she had ever imagined.
The pain of the death was approaching her. That coldness creeping through her bones and she was scared. A 22 year old girl, facing death in a heroic way, the headlines said. But do anybody know the pain to leave the world with unfulfilled dreams and goals.
The final tears along with her final breath, alone in the operating room surrounded by the doctors, nothing felt more painful ever. Born alone and dying alone. The sight blurred and blanked out and the while light crept inside her eyes. She felt her body going numb and the pain in her chest lowering. She felt nothing in the end. Tears kept flowing down her side to the side of her ears. Then the machine gave a long beep with zero heart rate graph on its dispaly. The end. That was an end to the earthly life. An unbelievable end to the life she so much wanted to live.
She accended to heaven instantly, for the good deed she had done, saving a child without thinking about her own, soon after separating from her body, saying a final goodbye to her family and home. She felt too broken seeing her family crying, the media enjoying. But she had to walk away.
Heavens looked beautiful. Not peaceful as said in the books, it was pretty noisy with people walking around, even though the population was too less. She looked different after the reincarnation. she felt light and something strong flowing through her veins. It didn't feel normal. She wondered what kind of spirit she has turned into. Could it be that she has powers, like mutants she has seen in the movies or has become a fairy or maybe even goddess, she wasn't sure.
She walked around astounded at everything that caught her eyes. She couldn't accept the fact that she actually accended to heaven and not hell counting on the number sins she had commited in her earthly life. She always considered herself as a sinner and end up in the roasting layer of hell as she had read in the books. She reached the end of heavens and looked at separation of land. 'Could this be the border?' she asked herself. She wished to check what was on the side.
"Don't cross them Miss, that's the border. it's the hell the other side. You shouldn't step there, walk back here," an old man advised her and left the place. She listened to him and took few steps back.
she decided to walk back and ran into someone, falling over him. She hit her head on his chest and looked up at him, taking her hand off his arms she was holding on to.
"Am sorry, I didn't see you there," she apologized and looked up at his face this time. She was shocked. A very familiar face but a totally different look. A tall guy wearing the long black robe and long pitch black hair, that reminded her of something but couldn't recall at all. He looked exceptional, exotic, and different. He let her arms go and helped her stand straight. And took off without saying a word, crossing the border without fear.
"Wait, you are not supposed to go there," she called out as he kept going forward. He did not care to listen to her and travelled forward.
"Why would you meddle with him, go back and thank god for saving your life miss," a little boy walking over the side called out.
"Who is he?" she asked curiously. "Who cares I just came here, how would I know him? Maybe he reminded me of someone from earth probability. But have I lost my memories already, how come I cannot recall anything?" she kept talking to herself.
"He is the..." but the boy was interrupted by the same old man and dragged behind him.
"Don't talk to people you don't know? Have i not told you?" the old man said and dragged him. She wished she could know, unable to forget that face, that woke her old feelings with no pictures.
