The Dream
"The DREAM"- Parashar Bezbaruah
The rain stopped. The sun is slowly shining upon the water droplets left by the rain. And a cool breeze is coming out from nowhere. I look out of the window, see the birds chirping, a vegetable vendor and a random weird guy wearing a green jacket trying to start his bike. 'Okay' , I said to myself. 'Let's hit the road'.
I love this kind of weather.The perfect weather for a solo motorbike ride and a couple of beers. There is a particular Hill-top point. It's where I go frequnetly whenever I want a quick solo ride. It's a 45 minutes ride from my home. The road is narrow, surrounded by tree on both sides. As you move higher you can see the hills and the river flowing alongside the road. It's a very pleasant sight to the eyes, mind and the soul. Also the place is very less crowded. It's basically a couple's point, or people who wish to relax, booze and just ponder over what the future has in store for them or any abstract thing. Basically, it's a place to think whatever the hell you want.
Since, I have described the place, so let's get ready. I did a quick breakfast, grabbed my keys, took a bag and started the bike engine. It didn't start. I started again: success.
I have rode over there many times, and each day the ride gets better. But today was different. It was better than perfect. I felt as if I am the Boss of this planet. It was amazing.
Suddenly, as I take a sharp turn, I see a bike coming from the other side and a guy wearing a green jacket riding it. I try to hit the brakes, but it doesn't work. We both CRASH !!!
There's blood everywhere, broken bike parts spread all over the place and the lifeless body of the guy I crashed into. My vision is blurry. As I try to stand up, my right knee snaps and I lose my conciousness.
I open my eyes. I am sweating heavily. I am on my bed. In my room. I immediately realised- it was just a dream ! I gulp down a glass of water and heave a sigh of relief. The dream felt so real.
I slowly walk towards the window and see outside. The rain has stopped.The sun is slowly shining upon the water droplets left by the rain. And a cool breeze is coming out from nowhere. I look out of the window, see the birds chirping, a vegetable vendor and a random weird guy wearing a green jacket trying to start his bike. 'Okay' , I said to myself. 'Let's hit the road'.
As soon as that thought came into my mind, the guy with the green jacket suddenly looked towards me.My heart skips a beat. It's the same guy I saw in my dream. It's the same guy I saw when I looked out the window and also the same guy I crashed into and killed in the dream !
I also feel a slight itch on my right knee. I feel scared. The guy started to smile at me.
Who was he? Was the dream real? Am I dead? What's happening ?? Should I forget about the dream and ride to that point?? What should I do??
What would you do??
