Accident

Dad always used to say that one should always slow down and look either side of the road when you are at the junction. But as you know I was running late I didn't care to look either side but just drove and at the same time a speeding car come from my left, hit my bike with it's bumper. I lost my control and the bike fell on the ground splashing the water and sliding along the empty lane as if it was a water ride. I hit the ground and was dragged along with it while my black jeans was now ripping off from my right leg along with my skin and so was my hand. I tried to free myself from the bike but it was too late, my leg was struck between the brakes and I couldn't think about anything anymore as the darkness engulfed me slowly and made me numb.

It felt like forever since I had an accident, when I opened my eye, I expected to see the white walls, the beeping machine and a hospital gown and my mum and sid but instead I was welcomed with the beautiful sky with pink, blue, purple, yellow and other colours mixed accompanied with sparkles. It did look like a galaxy tho. I tried to get on my feet and I was shocked to look at myself. I was wearing the same clothes as earlier before I had a crash. My black jeans was perfect with my white tank top and my black leather jacket and of course the glove and my fav black boots.

For a second I was scared to death. Wait am I already dead? Am I in heaven? Because I'm perfectly all right without any scars or blood dripping and was literally floating. I hear a voice from distinct someone calling my name.

Maaaaaaiiiiirrraaaaaaa Maaaaiiirrraa Maira

I followed the voice and I see my mum calling out for me but then I see a small figure running towards her and behind that little girl I see a boy chasing, let me guess my brother?.

What the hell was happening! What is wrong with me! Where was I?

I could only see clouds of all shades around me.

WAIT A SECOND there is no floor at all I am floating LITERALLY FLOATING.

Now this is creepy. WAIT I'M DEAD?

AM I IN HEAVEN? IM PRETTY SURE I'M NOT IN HELL.

I'm speechless to what I'm seeing infront of me. LEGIT SPEECHLESS.

Atleast let me tell you who I am.

I'm Maira, 22 year old, still a student doing my masters in fashion designing and also a traveller. I'm the youngest so I'm pampered a lot. My brother Siddhart (Sid) is 5 years elder to me and not to mention super protective about me. And mummy dearest who is my first love and my best friend.

Ok here I am floating and looking at my little self growing up, I see my entire life. Like I don't know what to say. I see myself growing up, moving on from kindergarten to primary and then middle school and finally High School and graduating. I could see all those special moments that I don't remember from when I was a kid where mum and granny used to tell me of how and what I used to do. I get to see all my firsts in my life. It was so amazing to see myself growing up. I could even see all those sweet moments with the family and friends and also not to forget my first international holiday to Bali when I graduated my schooling.

Then came the life changing move which I had made during my turning point. Then it's college and again another round of graduation and another round of major move. I see how I had hurt people's feelings and there were so many incidents and situations that I regret and wanted to go back in time and set them right. It was not just the regrets I found in my past but also I see how distinct I have become lately from my family. Even though I love them from bottom of my heart it wasn't reflecting cause once I found out I was pretty good at racing, I devoted my time and energy into it and alongside studies and thesis and masters. Somewhere at some point I had become selfish and greedy of ME MYSELF AND I that I had lost most of the time spending with my family.

The only thing running in my head right now was to wake up and get back home and I'm never leaving home anytime soon without spending all the lost hours with them.

Then finally I could see myself all grown up and the accident which took place a while ago. Right now I didn't knew what to do and where should I go. I just swirl around to find anything that is of any use, but end up with nothing but cotton candy clouds all around me.
