It was indeeed the last avaliable day for preparing for my exam ,OH GOD,, y do i always keep it till the last day, eventhough they gave me three whole days for preparing. To be truthful , it always happens with the teenagers, nagging over at the so called "last minute".It was the tought exam to be precise & all of us to some extent were perplexed with the thought of clearing it except the studious personalities of our class ,who r mostly refered to as the "planners" for God sake. How do these people control their desires & learn their daily portions, I hav tired this mantra for many times, but to my bad luck , It never existed for more than 5 min. With all these thoughs tangled in my mind I woke up ,well without the need of an alarm."Could I finish?" , "Will there be time for revision?", were the questions haunting me. And yeah, according to this parent's genius, as most parents consider their children to be Einstein,, 7'o clock is a pretty early time. I brushed my teeth dozing slightly, flushed my face with cold water & sat for my side of preparation. My brother on the other side was getting ready for going off to Manali with his friend for a project. His daily ritual which seemed so familiar was to annoy me to the very extend. Now he has left I was free of diversions. At 11:30a.m ,I finished a rather bigger topic, gave off to reward myself with a twenty minute off. I asked my mother for a cup of hot coffee to help relax my mind. We two sat with our cup of coffee on the couch with the television blarring. The telephone rang at 12:45pm, my mom got off with her coffee to the bed room , as both of us expected it to be some relative. Suddenly heard my mom's trembling voice , i ran to see what was happening, I was shocked to hear the news "my brother had met wid an accident", my heart slipped a beat, my mom on the other hand was drenched tears, my mouth started to blabber. I was completely unaware of what the hell was I talking. I consoled my mother, my mom grabbed whatever money she had, we rushed to the streets to find an auto, my mom explained the situation to the driver, to my suprise he so kind to help with money, it was really tough to find this kind of a person in todays world. We both were praying & crying thought the journey. My mom called my father & said what has happened. i on the other hand called all my brothers friend. One of the police men at the spot was updating as with the situation prevaling there. We got a call again, I was trembling whenever we got a call, my mom suddenly froze, her eyes reddened & her eyes filled with water. When I heard the news it freaked me, "my brother's friend had passes away, he died on the spot". I was speechless, I prayed God to have my life & instead give his. The automen to an extend made us feel better by sayin positive things. Then my dad called & said that my uncle has taken my brother to another doctor, my mom was somewat convinced by the change of plan.
We reached the deadly spot, the policemen explained what had happened, my bro slowed down at a speed braker, but the truck behind him failed to see, so he hit the bike, my brothe & his friend was thrown off, unfortunately the truck ran over my brother's friend. My thoughts now drifted to my brothers frnd, deep inside I still heard his voice, his smile as he was also like a brother to me. We the hosital at last, my uncle & everyone there consoled us that nothing was serious, my mom begged to see my brother, she was crying like a baby, that instant I realised what "LOVE" is. I saw my brothe groaning in pain, I felt weak to my knees, I started to cry, now I knew "How much I LOVED my brother, he was the world of mine, I share all my feelings with him,, I need him, I simply can't survive without him" . Then the doctor made sure that everything was alrite, We were relieved to some extend. Suddenly the haunting about my exam began. Oh God, am I gonna pass or not. Then at 8:00pm my mom said me get my books & stay in my aunts house & she would stay in the hospital. She was praying non-stop. Then after all the journey, I touched my book at 11:15pm, regretting on the two days I wasted, now I was aware of the thought "u can never know whats gonna happen the next instant". Anyway I have done my exam , I hope I would pass.
My uncle explained later the next day that, even after the accident he was standing on the road & shouted for someone to save his friend, & then he collapsed. It left me in tears. After that he kept on asking about his friend, but the doctor has said that his best friend is admitted in another hospital. We still fear what would happen if he knew the truth.
"His friend will always live in our smiles, we will always LOVE him"
