The speed was 120 km/hr .. drifting and swinging he rode his bike , he could feel the cold gusts of wind and pollution tickling his face and his girlfriend's hand resting on his shoulders . He felt like screaming with happiness ! Nothing could be better than this , he got a hole in his jeans , a shiny black bike and his baby girl at the back . Aah ! Every 17 year old's dream . Was he living the male version of "TEENAGE DREAM" ?.. I wonder !
He was mumbling his favorite song , Pearl Jam's last kiss .
When his girlfriend whispered in his ears , her words like melody "I love you" ... He could have done all the stunts in the world , he was ecstatic . How better can life be in the busy streets of Delhi ? He yelled "I love you too baby". His girlfriend laughed as her hair blew .. she felt perfectly at ease , satisfied and happy . "Happy" is a strong word , much stronger than pleasure which is momentary and can never replace the pure feeling of happiness slowly appears in the eyes , moves down the lips throws a smile and covers the heart with bliss .
The bike speeds up , the boy races up the smooth road.. didn't he forget to wear his helmet ? Oh yes . Oh ! Never mind , riding a bike is twice as much fun without the helmets on ;) ... he swung his shiny machine from left to right while his girlfriend clutched his shoulders harder and her painted nails dug into his skin ..
He didn't see the approaching monster , a huge truck driven by a drunk driver that smashed his dream , his bike and his beautiful girlfriend , who was still smiling as the truck ripped her skin and burned her smile, he lay in the bushes , scarred a bit .. one or two bones fractured . He lay motionless as he saw his girl facing death , the smell of burned rubber tyres, and his eyes witnessing death . He thought of rushing to her embracing her in his cool arms and holding her breath of life , then he choked a bit when he realised that the life has already escaped and the soul was dancing away into the skies above , he looked up the pitch black sky , it rained.. water that hit him like stones hit bruised flesh..
His happiness , everything just vanished like the truck that sped , horror crushed his agony , and he ran . He ran where the lifeless cold mass of flesh lay , once his girlfriend , his love , his life . He cursed the truck , his fate and his smile . He cursed the bike that lay , engine still running .. petrol still burning . He picked up the body that lay before him and shuddered .. she felt so light , so cool , so numb .
He looks at her beautiful face , now a tangle of flesh , blood and bones ..He saw blood and rain mixing and creating a pool of scarlet on the dusty roads and before he knew it he started howling , bawling like he was just a two year old , when pain sped through his skin and goosebumps rose , he could hear at a distant .. Pearl Jam's "Oh where , oh where can my baby be .. the lord took her away from me ..........."
