2 The Start.

There were a group of teenagers that were playing football in the field. A player from the opposing team caught the ball that was heading to his side. He dribbled rapidly to the front side into the goalie. It was a quick counterattack.

"Come on!!!"

Many including the man that seems to be the coach for the team shouted encouragingly to the boy, it looks like it was working. The boy didn't know who was screaming right now, but he was really focused. However, he was aware that he needs to score because this was a rare opportunity.

The goalkeeper noticed the distance between him and the ball so he decided to sweep the ball from the boy. Suddenly, he sprinted to the direction of the ball recklessly. The boy that held the ball then started to manoeuvring the ball.

Unfortunately, the ball started to bounce abnormally much to the control from the boy. It seems the ball had contact with a small bump in the area. The boy began to control the ball hastily. Unaware of the situation, the goalie continued his sprint. The boy that was focusing his eyes to the ball didn't really aware of the sprinting goalie. Subsequently, the two boys had a collision with each other.

*whistleeeee*

The referee whistled piercingly.

An ominous sound had just been heard across the field making the people notice how bad a situation it was and blood could be seen dripping from the boy's face. But, no one realized a strange occurity

===

"Huh?"

"Where the hell am I? Isn't this supposed to be a football field?"

A confusion covered that seemed to be a spirit. It was a non-visible being by a normal human eye. Strangely, the spirit resembled Adam's adult body. The face was quite blurry though.

"Is it my imagination or I am being kinda sleepy?"

Before Adam realized it, he already blackened out.

The boy who had a collision was Adam back then when he was younger. This was exactly like the accident that changed his whole life, the one that caused his coma. Adam was an aspiring young boy back then, discovering his love for football. Although His dream of being a footballer was achieved by Adam, it could not be called fulfilling in a sense.

"Urgh..." Groaned Adam

Adam opened his eyes and started to glance at his surroundings. He realized that there were a lot of people surrounding him. Suddenly, Adam underwent an overwhelming sense of pain into his head. He was in a profound state of confusion, a common occurrence from coma patients to awake from. Adam also felt this when he was first awake from his coma. (Altough it was a short coma this time). It was more like he lost conciousness. Possibly right now maybe was a different case, as he still can articulate a speech. Recovered from the pain, Adam then emitted his voice.

"Wait, I'm still alive...It's not possible and the other thing is, I feel really weird maybe I'm hallucinating." muttered Adam

"Of course I feel weird...I'm in a child's body!"

'Calm down Adam, breathe in....breathe out.'

Then, the coach came to his side and checked Adam.

"Are you okay?" Asked the old looking man watching worriedly over Adam.

"Coach!!!!"

Adam suddenly shouted unaware that he just woke up minutes earlier. Adam was unable to control his emotions after seeing the old man. He was getting emotional because the old man was the one that took care of him in his orphanage and a really big support for Adam. Without him, Adam would not know about football. Sadly, when he woke up from his coma, he was already gone.

Adam cried badly after knowing the fact the man that always beside him, supporting his life without any concern of anything was already passed on his life. That's why he regretted it so much, he could not pay back from all the things he had done when he was alive.

Adam was even making the old man so much trouble for taking care of him when he was in a coma state. It was exactly that reason that made him so stubborn to become a footballer.

"Stop screaming! You were bleeding right now!"

"I'm sorry, and I'm okay i think..."

"Stop being so stubborn and let me check if you has any other injury!" The old man smiled reassuringly after checking his body

'I don't know what happens, what will happen, and what am I going to be, but what I wish right now that this wasn't a dream...I just want to take the opportunity to be doing life with no regrets, a life full of happiness and living my life freely without any boundaries.'

After Adam 'died' once, life gave Adam a lesson

"Live the life you want, and enjoy it while you can."

"Live in the present, not the future or the past."

"There's no such things as reckless or rash. There is only fun and adventurous, and going past your limit, only to aim higher and higher."
