Karma [An Indian Story]

The Nightmare

"Angad beta, what will you have for dinner today ?"
"Ma,can we go out for dinner today,please?"
"Okay, it's your special day today. You can have anything you want."

"Ma,let's go. We would be late for dinner."
"Coming."

"Angad,put your seat belt on."
"Ma,you know everyone praised me in the class today and-"
"Aaahhhh"

A truck crashed with our car. I saw my right to see my mother.
She had her head on the steering wheel.
"Ma,wake up. Ma" I shook her while crying.

"Ma,ma."

"Bhaiya,wake up."
I feel as if someone was shaking me.
I opened my eyes to see my sister Parul standing.

I sat up in the bed. She sat by my side.
"Nightmare?"
I said nothing,only nodded my head.
"You want to say about it?"
"No."
I am having the nightmares since last month.
Every night I would see my mother dying in front of me and I can't do anything to save her.

"Call me if anything you want to say."
"Okay" it's the only thing I can say.

I saw the clock in room.
3:47a.m.
Now,sleep won't come to me, so I went to the shelf and picked up a book.
It had become a daily habit now.

While I was immersed in my book,my sister called me " Bhaiya,let's go."
I glanced at my clock
6:15 a.m.
"Coming, just 2 min."

Everyday my sister and I would go for our daily run.
I quickly threw a t-shirt and track pant and washed my face.

My sister was waiting for me outside the house.
"You know bhaiya, today is Diya's birthday. I have planned something special for her."

Diya is my sister's best friend. She was the first person whom Parul befriended in the campus.
I have only met her once, but I know everything about her due to Parul. She used to tell me everything.

"What is it?"
"I will not tell you about it. You can see it by yourself in the evening."
"Evening?"
"Yeah,she invited you to her party."
"You know that I don't like these girl parties."
"Please"
"No,means no."
"Okay,I will tell her."

After the jogging,we headed towards the house.
As I entered,I spotted Sid in the breakfast table.
"Hey champ!"
"Bhaiya" he hi-fived me.

Siddharth a.k.a. Sid my 14 year old brother.

"Ewww,Angad you are stinking, go get a bath." mami said scrunching up her nose.
"Ha,ha,ha right mom, bhaiya is a stinky mess." Parul said laughing.
"Okay,okay I am going."

I went straight to the bathroom. After bathing and wearing fresh clothes I went downstairs.

I saw Parul was sitting in the chair and a bag by her side, having her breakfast. Usually she would be last person for breakfast.
"Bhaiya,hurry up. I don't want to be late on Diya's birthday."

After breakfast,we went for our college. On the way, I have to pick up Arjun also.
"Arjun hurry up." Parul shouted from the car. She is very excited today.

As we enter the campus,and parked the car Parul jumped from the car and ran.
Arjun and I,we also head out of the car.
"Angad is this your?" Arjun asked holding a bag.
"This is Parul's"
I opened the bag to see a wrapped box. It must be Diya's gift. I will give it to Parul during the break.
