1 Hectic Life

People standing nearby glanced at him , the reason was obvious , Sain was carrying lots of huge shopping bags which seemed too much for him , while his mother was busy bargaining with the shopkeeper. Stuck with a work from home job at the age of 23 because of his mother's health issues , doing household stuff and preparing for a government job , there was no excitement in life at all . He sighed , closed his eyes and wished to escape his boring life . When he opened his eyes he saw a shooting star , he paused for a moment and then took a deep breath.

After they reached home , Sain's mother asked him to wash the vegetables and keep them in the fridge . He did as his mother asked , however , suddenly his mother yelled at him for the water that fell on the floor . Seeing his mother's anger , he calmly explained that it fell while keeping the vegetables in the fridge. She shouted at him to clean up the floor . He obliged , but yet again she yelled "clean up the mess, u filthy brat!". Although he did it again , his mother shouted at him to clean up properly . Annoyed by her words a bit , Sain told her that he is done with the clean up , which only put fuel in the fire . His mother screamed "no! Clean it up " , upon hearing which the boy replied in a cold tone that he will do it again but she should at least take a look first . Furious with Sain's words his mother said "are you arguing with me? " .

"Oh shit! not again" is what Sain whispered to himself after realizing the gravity of the situation and asked for his mother's forgiveness . However the mentally unstable lady wouldn't cool down now , even though his sister came and tried to calm her , it only agitated her more . Soon she starting beating him up, slapping him , throwing him on the floor and kicking him . Being used to getting beat by her since childhood , the pain didn't bother him much , he calmly took the hits while constantly saying "sorry" . Sain's mother started going berserk and beat him to a pulp and started thrashing his head into the wall.

After enough beating she got tired and started hitting her own head, the calm guy now became anxious and along with his sister held her down. The more they tried to stop her the more she resisted and the more power she applied, suddenly she collapsed. They carefully carried her to the bed and tried to sprinkle water on her face to wake her up. With eyes closed the mother screamed , "get oouuuutttttttt!", a shiver ran through the childrens' spine. The lady opened her eyes wide, got up and hurried towards the balcony and tried to jump . Sain managed to stop her , athough accidentally he himself fell out of the balcony.

The young man was falling , everything became calm , everything got slower, he could see his mother's scared expression, he could see his sister extending her arm for him , he smiled and whispered "Hey God! Dude now don't create more trouble and take my life , OK....???" and looked down towards the ground. Instead of hitting the ground he passed through it, his eyes opened wider, for a moment the world looked upside down and then he landed on water. He was submerged in shallow water, in a place that looked like a cave.
