I was running as fast as I could. I could feel the rush of adrenaline. The sparks of the lightening flashed around me. I tried to dodge them. I could hear loud sounds from behind. I increased my speed. Immediately I hid myself behind the wall of some building. I saw a huge flames and smoke arising from all around the city. Before I could even think of escaping from that place, a huge ball of flame was so near and it was about to hit me when I cried, "Mom!"

I immediately jumped from my bed! Oh so this was a just dream, I thought.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, "Why the hell are you screaming this early morning? Open the door Ron!" my mom yelled.

Great. Now she is going to kick my butt for waking her up this early.

I opened the door to see my mom glaring at me. I gave her a shy smile, "What?"

"What? You are asking me what? How many times did I ask you to not watch those ghostly horror and thriller movies?" She glared.

I just ignored her and went back to my bed. When I was about to pull the duvet over my head, she snatched it.

"Ron? Are you even listening to me?" She narrowed her eyes.

I rolled my eyes and tossed another pillow over my ears to block her irritating voice.

After that all I could hear was, "Ron...ho...m...ti...blah blah...Get up...blah blah"

After sometime I couldn't hear anything. I was sure that she was tired of yelling and had left my room already.

I threw the pillows away. And started re-collecting about the dream I had. I couldn't remember who was trying to chase me?

As I started thinking hard, I felt a little dizzy. I tried to balance myself but suddenly my vision started to fade. I couldn't see anything for a minute. It was just dark.

                        --------------------

The next moment I saw bright light. I could hear my mom's voice. I slowly opened my eyes. When I looked around, I saw the doctor and my mom was talking to him. But it was all blur.

"Ronald, how are you feeling?",the doctor asked.

I blinked to make my vision clear.

"Umm...nothing better. And I can't see anything clearly. It's all blur".

"I have talked to your mom about it. I expect you to be there for your check ups tomorrow", he said and left.

I sighed. I blinked several times but my vision still remained to be blur.

Tears started forming in my eyes. I just couldn't make myself feel any better. I have always wanted to live a perfect life just like many other people out there.

But guess, this was the way it was supposed to be.

My flaws defined my perfections. And I had no other option but to accept them and allow them to make me and my life beautiful in every way.

But there was some hope and faith that was left in me. Hope to be cured and faith to never give up.

The journey had begun. Journey to find myself, to define what's been asked for.

A/n : Sorry for the long wait. Hope you all enjoy and have a nice day.
