I left my place in the morning in ire, pissed off Mum and Dad, didn't even say good bye or hugged Mum like I always do. I was late to see my pals at the caf, especially the guy I loved so much, but never told him. While sipping the mocha shake, a video played. JAL, the band was up on stage. But Kotler's chord struck amongst my pals instead of Shazi's and I fell hard from my dreamland to the management arena. How I wish I were a great guitarist, a great singer. But Security comes before Dreams. Anyway, we all left and I glanced back at the contagious smile worn on my love's blissful face. I, too, smiled and left for some work. In the meanwhile I got a call saying I have been selected for the MBA course at the most desired B-school. It was a dream come true. I was on the 9th cloud. I started imagining the mirth of my parents. I thought I would go home and tell them personally rather than on phone so that I can see the flaunting smiles on their faces. I knew Dad will now be proud of me and this would end the turmoil at home. I soon reached a store to buy a pair of sneakers.Zupppp.
There went past aMercedes, my dream car. "I'll drive it one day", my heart said. I was overwhelmed and excited to go home and share my joy. But suddenly I felt an urge to see the beautiful sunset. I wondered why? Anyway, I went to the beach, made myself comfortable. Still couldn't believe I got selected. I stared at the horizon and watched the golden sun hiding behind the shimmering tranquil sea. The sky looked beautiful splurging its pretty hues red, orange, pink, purple and blue. Truly a marvel by the great artist. That reminded me of going to the temple and thanking God but I chose not to as I wanted to go home as soon as possible. But I think I was the chosen one. I was waiting at the bus-stop. There came a bus but it didn't stop; instead rolled over me. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamt my soul out. But as I said, I was the chosen one by God. I had to land up in his court. That last moment, mere one moment ended my life and changed the lives of many others. Now I'm here pleading to God for just one moment
One moment to hug my Mum and see her smile and tell her that I love her
One moment to see my Dad being proud and get relieved of the burden
One moment to tell my love how much I love him
One moment to bid adieu to my beloved pals and wish them luck
One moment to rock on the stage, sing my song and play the guitar along
One moment to drive my dream car
One last moment to go to the temple so that I can thank God and pray to him to take care of my parents and their well-being and to give immense love to my love
Sorry Mum, for your tears tell me that I was your life... Sorry my love, for your tears tell me that you loved me even more and Sorry Dad for my rude behavior towards you throughout I wish I could turn back the time and re-live the last moment Just one moment that changed my life because I want to live my life to the fullest
