Like every morning, I started reading the newspaper. I was shocked to see my photo in the deads column. Seemed like a bad joke from someone.
But then I remembered yesterday night i had severe pain in chest. And that the last thing I could recall. May be I fall asleep after that.
I looked at the clock it was 8.30 Am already. I thought i will be late for office again. I will miss the team meeting again.
But the home was lot more noisy that day. I went out to the living room. There were so many people. And i know all of them. My friends, my family everyone.....
They all look very sad. I tried to talk to them, no body replied. They were all looking at the center of the room.
There I was, lying in the middle of the room with white sheet all over me. Not moving. But hows that possible, I am standing right here. What is going on....I was shocked.....Not able to understand anything.
Am I dead ? But hows that possible ? I am too young to die. I have still to achive so many things. I have so much life left to live. Life that is out side my office. Life involving my family, my friends.
In one cornor of the room was standing my best friend, with whom I was not talking since long time. We parted ways after a big fight. His eyes were wet. He was trying to put a brave face.
My mom was speechless, she was not crying, she was not saying a word. My dad was crying loud and my brother was trying to hold him. I wanted to tell everyone not to cry, I am standing right here. But no one was able to hear me. Why ? May be I was dead.
I had so much life to live. I wanted to tell my mom-dad that I love them which I had never said. I wanted to hug my brothers. I wanted to say sorry to my best friend for parting ways with him. But none of these was possible anymore. I would never be able to do any of these anymore.
I started paying to god give me sometime to talk to everyone......
"Wake up son or you will be late for office " I heard my dad's voice.
I got up and hugged my dad, he was not able to understand whats going on. He just smiled. I smiled back and murmured "Thank you God, thank you for the SECOND CHANCE !!!
