Promise

Part 1

December’s freezing air didn’t bother him this time. You always thought of what if I did this or that but there were no right answers to a question which was wrong from the start. He would always be here as a second option and as he was in his previous life, so he decided that it is the time to be free. Plan has always been an invisible person not remarkable in any sense and always felt inferior to his brother. His brother has always been a remarkable one and over achiever. It would be a lie that he is not jealous. He was burning in jealousy when the person he liked first, became friends first with and last of all fell in love with, told him that he loved his brother. He sat there preparing for their wedding. Helping them buy a dress. When he was ready to give up on this one side love suddenly his brother fled away on the marriage day. Giving him hope again. He held onto the little hope and walked to his unrequited love thinking maybe he could receive the other person's affection but that never happened. It was a spiral downward. Plan would never be the one for Mean.

He died at the age of 26 in a plane crash. He didn't have a job or a career or even a penny in his bank account. His face has turned so haggard from continuous push and pull relationship that he looked 35 not 26. His brother and his unrequited love patched up and he was thrown away. In the end he was named as an evil person who came between a loving couple. His parents were melting in his brother palm, but the last straw was when he had a miscarriage he gave up all together. He signed the divorce paper and left silently. The marriage of 3 years fell apart. The worst part was he didn't even know he was pregnant until the misscarage happened. His tears didn't even dry when the plane was crashing. Everyone  was in a state of panic but Plan embraced the plane crash.

"Mama is coming to you.." with those words he smiled.

But when he again opened his eyes he found himself lying in a familiar place.First he thought maybe he was in hell that's why they were trying to replay all his life to torture him again. But another moment a small piece of memory pierced his brain. Like a voice guiding him.He saw a woman standing while holding a baby in his hand. A sense of attachment made him step forward. He knew who the woman was. She was his housemaid.He called her Mama as she always treated him like his own child. She was a lady who strongly believed in spirituality.She was the only reason that Plan survived the gruesome three years of the marriage.Maybe even had a support system to keep him going.

As he tried to reach her but she vanished in sublime.

“Where am I??”

He looked around and she stood there smiling at him. 

He walked forward.

Plan laid back on his bed now realising what just happened. Tears just dripped down his eyes. He cried as if there is no tomorrow. 

“Thank you…thank you…so much….thanks….” more he wanted to express his gratitude  

The more speechless he was.

Tears kept dripping down his eyes. After calming down he realised he was back to his own room when he was in high school. 

Room suddenly opened and Pete was standing there with an annoyed look. A shiver ran down his spine.Last  time he met  his brother, Pete told him how sorry he was and that he can’t stop loving Mean.He begged Plan to please divorce Mean.Plan was so much in shock and stress that it led to miscarriage. Now thinking back he knew most of the time Mean was sleeping around and there were signs clearly of Pete and Mean hanging around. He just didn’t wanna believe it.

Plan still in shock as previous memories flooded in.

Pete was babbling about something. Plan was silent, his head down as tears dropped silently.
