THE BOO LIFE
Emin woke up. He saw the alarm notifications in his phone which are snoozed. With a fuzzy mind he slowly walked down stairs.The tv was on and his father was watching news. He sat on one corner of the couch saying: Hey dad.He didn't get any response from him at all. He thought his dad was mad at him about the party night yesterday. So he went to the kitchen and Asked his mom : What's the problem here?
She was also deeply quiet. Emin became mad and went to his room.
Suddenly he heard his mom's voice Emin are you still asleep! Wake up already! .
For a single moment everything was like scrambled eggs. He was terrified. Emin saw his own body on his bed...
He slowly approached himself and tried to wake him up. but there was no response.
After taking a moment for realisation he screamed ........ AM I DEAD. AM DEAD. I AM DEAD !.

He ran downstairs to look at his parents. But what ever he does they don't feel him at all.
Being mad by not getting any response his mom went upstairs to look. She screamed and cried loudly and called Emin's father for help. But whatever they does it was a lifeless body laying on a bed.
They took him to a nearby hospital and the doctor declared his death.

Emin was standing beside them all the time unable to do anything.


....AT THE FUNERAL HALL ....

Emin was looking at the huge crowd in the hall from the back of the hall.His mom and dad mourning sitting in the front row.
Suddenly he saw a girl looking at him.He was like : Can she see me? . And slowly she approached him and said. Are you twins. Is that your twin brother who died.
Emin was speechless. He slowly called her outside and asked : Can you see me ?
She : Yes I can .You are standing right front of me .
Emin : Oh god what's happening.
She : What? !
Emin : Don't scream.Its my body . I am the one who's dead.
She : Bullshit.!
Emin : Hey can't you see my face and the body. It's the same.
She : Oh I see. So basically you are saying that I am speaking to a dead person who is standing in front of me fine as wine.
Emin : Yes . yesss
She : Well I will believe you i guess. I am already bored so you are a company till I leave. So I will play along with you.
Emin: Whatever.Whats your name?
She : Iam Emily.
Emin : Well let's see what everyone thinks of me let's see.

After a emotional speech by his father and mother other people's including his friends and family were called to speak about him.
He saw his friends crying over a corner of the hall.He saw his crush his teachers neighbours everyone there praising him and being emotional for him.

Emin : What's happening here. They always hated me. They always avoided and made fun of me . What is this. Why is this happening. Are they all just acting because am dead? Is this like a emotional gathering before celebrations.

Emily: Woah woah woah ! Stop it dude.Are you gonna kill yourself again after dying? Huhh? .. The people around us are not all evil or are not all good. They are also humans. Some maybe feel evil but we don't know their mind.Sometimes you feel over caring as toxic parenting and teaching. You confusingly believe Fun time with friends as bullying. Shyness of your crush as avoiding. Busy life as avoiding. But those all are connected and tied upto this certain moment. The death of that person. The time when they regret everything even if it was for your own good.
The time when they knew its late. Just go near them and see yourself.


Emin slowly walked inside and started to stand beside each of the members present there. He heard and experienced the true form of their minds. The true value of relationships which he wasted because of overthinking. He went beside his parents and said : Sorry mother. Sorry father . For being a brat all the time.He went to the stage beside his body and said: Sorry pal I was really rude to you. rude to myself. I was cooking my brain with overthinking.... On the stage he loudly said. It's fairwell but this is the happiest moment in my life . I understand the worth of people's mind and heart.
He saw Emily standing at the door with a pleasant smile on her face .
Emin said in his mind : Who are you .even at theast moment you showed me light.
He heard her mind
Emily : Be strong Lil bro.

Emin's father patted on his shoulder and said. It's time.
He walked towards the coffin kissed Emily's forehead and said goodbye Sister.
