Before Stepping To Heaven.....
Before Stepping To Heaven.....
It was a gloomy Friday evening and I was watching my usual T.V shows. Everything was normal except for the weather. Soon I went to sleep. It was like a 2 minutes nap when suddenly the doorbell rang. It was one of my best friends Maya. I asked her what was she doing here at this time. It was unusual for her coming to my house at 7:00. She said while she was staying extra for her classes it suddenly started raining."But I thought you loved to drench in the rain" I said.she said that if she got wet her books would also get wait. Her excuse was relevant but it didn't seem usual. She asked for an umbrella. I said to my mother that Maya had come and was asking for an umbrella. My mother gave it to me and when I went to give it to Maya, she wasn't there.
I thought that it was rude and also unusual as she never left without saying bye.I went to sleep but before I decided to call Maya but her phone was switched off. After a moment, My friend Riya called me. She was very scared I asked her what happened then she said the thing which I never wanted to listen.No, not that I had to go to the school on Saturday but that Maya was dead at 6:30.
I was astonished and couldn't manage my words. I said to Riya that Maya had been at my house at 7 asking for an umbrella. But Riya said that I was talking nonsense and Maya's dead body was at the hospital at 6:30. She asked me to stop the drama and rush to the hospital. I reached the hospital and saw some familiar and non-familiar faces. Maybe they were Maya's relatives. I saw Maya's face. It was the same as I saw before except for the wounds on her face. Riya told me that Maya slipped from the terrace while playing in the rain.
I returned to my house crying. My mom was astonished to hear the bad news. She was also confused. She didn't see Maya after 6:30 so she also didn't believe me. No one believed me. Maybe Maya wanted to see me one last time before stepping to heaven.
