_Accident Scene_

"The night was extremely dark, with clouds shrouding the sky and lightning illuminating the horizon. It seemed as though rain was imminent, and the air was heavy with anticipation."

Rhea gripped the steering wheel tightly, speeding away from home. Tears filled her eyes, fixed on the winding road ahead. Her mind reeled from the argument with her someone's close.

Her phone lay silent beside her, lit up with unread messages from an unknown number. Suddenly, a truck swerved into her lane, blinding her with its headlights.

"No...no...no!" Rhea screamed.

Metal crunched, glass shattered, and her world collapsed.

Time froze. She glimpsed the truck's driver... Was it on purpose?

Rhea's car flipped four times before crashing into a ditch beside the road. Her legs were trapped inside the vehicle, while her upper body lay outside, covered in blood. Her eyes froze in shock, stared upwards, with tears streaming down from both.

"Sorrowful whispers Rhea calls out 'Mom... Mom' her voice trembling with pain , her words barely audible. Then, her eyes slowly closed, and the rain had also started and plunging her into past memories.

Flashback into Rhea's past -

"She is getting ready to go to college and her mother is making breakfast for her and her elder sister Tiya in the kitchen , who is currently working in IT company , her father (Mahesh) sat comfortably in his chair , reading the newspaper and taking occassional ships of his tea and her elder brother ahaan still sleeping in his room and waiting for beaten up by mother(simran)"

"Rhea yaar do fast otherwise I will be late for my office" Tiya screamed

"Okay okay sister, I'm coming, just wait for few minutes and i will be there" Rhea said in loud voice

"Few minutes, really ?.....you have been repeating this for the past 30 minutes " Tiya sad in angry voice

"Rhea exclaimed, 'let's go'as she rushed toward Tiya "

"Stop Rhea first do breakfast, this girl is always in a hurry and if she was in such a rush to leave then, why didn't she wake up early in the morning?" Mom said angrily.

"Enough enough, everyone starts screaming in the morning, can't you maintain peace? This is a home not a wrestling arena" her father said visibly irritated.

Rhea grabbed an apple and took a bite, then rushed towards the gate , calling out "bye bye mom and dad"

"Bye and take care of your child" her father said tenderly and her mother gives a gentle and caring smile towards Rhea and Tiya.

Tiya already sat in the car and Rhea got into the car and sat down , Tiya always dropped Rhea off at her college on her way to the office.

"Where is your son? he must not have woken up yet, his morning starts after 12 noon" Mahesh said in a teasing tone to simran.

"Don't worry, I will go and wake him up" simran said in a humble way.

"Ahaan, Ahaan ....wake up , otherwise your father will get angry, and come fast for breakfast " simran screamed.

"Okay mother, I'm coming "...ahaan said with a sleepy gaze.

Rhea reached her college after dropping Rhea , tiya headed towards her office and rhea's best friend nalini is waiting for her in the gate of college...when she saw Rhea , she signaled her with gesture of hand then rhea come towards her with a smile in the face,

"Nalini baby , how's you?" Rhea said in naughty way.

"I'm like you my sweet cutie " Nalini said in similar way.

At that very moment Alisha and nikhil arrived...

"Hello , Rhea and nalini , are you waiting for me ? " Nikhil said in joking way

"Yeah, yeah...you are superstar of our college, that's why they were waiting for you" Alisha said in teasing tone.

They all smiled and headed towards college with great spirit and full of enthusiasm .
