Fighting Destiny

Chapter 2 - Life

Akshara.

A voice ? One I knew, it's familiar.

Akshara ? I had a name.

That's my name !

"Open your eyes, girl." The voice came again.

I cracked open my eyes.

-

It has been 30 minutes since i have been " awake", confused and completely lost...

I found myself in my dorm room, back in my 22 years old body, with my roommate who was shaking me to wake me up because apparently I was too deep in my sleep and didn't hear the alarm. Confused, I ran to my phone to check the date and indeed, the date confirmed that I was 2 years back ! My roommate was already outside, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Tears start rolling thinking about my last memories with Abhimanyu.

Wait,

was it real ?

Was it just a dream ?

Was my entire life with Abhimanyu just a dream ?

Panicking, I started pacing in the room, in tears, trying to understand what was happening to me. My heart was beating hard, I could feel the panic attack coming. I fall to my knees, completely breathless. I looked up at the ceiling praying silently for God to help me. I lay on my back, closing my eyes and focusing on my breath. Opening my eyes again I see my guitar which was in its usual spot, neatly hanging on the wall. I choked on my tears thinking of Abhimanyu and his love for my voice and my music.

My panic attack must have taken a few minutes but I felt like it lasted for hours...

As soon as I could stand up I took my phone and googled " Abhimanyu Birla". Relief took over my entire body when several pages appeared highlighting his achievement on my screen. His pictures confirm that he exists, that I wasn't crazy.

That even though she couldn't explain it, he was her soulmate, her husband. He was hers even if what she remembered was another life or just a dream.

Maybe a premonitory dream ...

" My Abhi", with shaking hands I caressed my screen with his picture on full screen. After the shock and the confusion, profound sadness took over my heart.

My tummy was flat ...

A dream or not, I will be mourning...

They say it doesn't take long for your life to be flipped upside down,

A moment.

A second.

And it's all over ?

What if I had done things differently ?

What if I walked the other way ? Maybe my life wouldn't have ended the way it did.

But the thing about "maybes" ? They are useless.

I finally remember which day it is, or what day it was supposed to be. Today was the day I was supposed to be back to my family house. It was the beginning of my love story with Abhi and the drama with Arohi also started at the same time...

What does it mean ?

Is God giving me a second chance ?

Giving me, giving US another life ?

Today is the day that determines my life.

This life.

To be continued ...

I have so many ideas for this FF, let's see how this will turn out 😉
