I am REBORN!!!

"Hey girl... are you alright?"

I was called out by someone when I was trying to open my eyes slowly while rubbing them as if I just woke. "Hey, are you alright, you just fell from the sky...?". What!! I fell from the sky.

There was a young boy, perhaps around 18, I guess. He called out once again, "Girl, are you mute? Say something." he said with a concerned tone. "I...I am fine.". "Uff... thank god you are fine. By the way, I am Lucas, I am 17 years old and I live in the village nearby. Do you have a place to live?" he asked after a short introduction of himself. "Where am I? and How did I... come here?" I asked.

"You are near Båstad village in Sweden and about you came here... You actually fell from the sky in front of my eyes." He replied. I am in Sweden, but Sweden became a wasteland during the war and this doesn't look anything like a wasteland, I thought this as I looked around the place. It was beautiful, I haven't since a place like this since I was born. It must be a safe zone for refugees.

"Ahh... I don't have a place to live, if possible...", "Absolutely! I would love to bring you to my place." he replied before I could complete my sentence. I smiled back at him. "You are a cute little girl. Come on my back I will give you a ride." He said playfully. Without any thinking, I walked over and climbed over his back.

We talked all along the way as he walked back to his village.

By the time we reached his house, I had fallen asleep on his back. I got to know many things about him, his likes, dislikes, workplace, dreams, etc. He hid nothing from me as if he knew me from my birth. He gently placed me on the bed, gave me a goodnight kiss, and went out closing the door on his way out.

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of a chime followed by a banging noise from the kitchen. I sat on the bed with a hazy look and looked into the mirror placed beside the bed to do my hair. "Ahhh....!!!" I am small. I looked at myself once more, I really looked like the time when I was 10. My skin was smooth and soft. I pinched myself to check whether I was dreaming. "ouch...!!!" I yelped.

IT'S NO DREAM! I AM BACK IN TIME!!!

Wait let me check the calendar. I was looking around for the calendar when Lucas came up to check on me due to my scream. "Hey girl, what happened? why are you screaming?" he asked confused. "ah... Nothing... There was a...a cockroach flying, that's why I was screaming." I replied quickly in order to not make him suspicious. "By the way, why is there chaos downstairs?" I asked to divert his attention.

"I was trying to cook breakfast for you..." Lucas said that with a cheeky smile. I went downstairs to peek inside the kitchen, it was the first time someone made breakfast for me. I peeked in to see only black smoke a complete disaster of the kitchen. "Brother Lucas... what a mess have you done? Kitchen looks like a battlefield at the moment." I pretended to shout at him, while he was giving me his silly smile. "Call me that one more time." He requested. Huh... "Brother Lucas..." I said as he requested.

"Ahhh... It's beautiful to be able to have a beautiful sister like you." he exclaimed. Oh right! Lucas is an orphan living in this village. He works at a herb chemist shop nearby. He wishes to be a doctor as for him life is precious even when you are alone and he is 17 this year. Wait a minute... which year is this now that I look like 10 year old girl.

"Brother Lucas what date is it today?" I asked him. He replied instantly "30th December" He replied. "ufff... I mean what year is it?" I asked once again, he was shocked at my question. Well it was weird since I am asking the year it is... it was like reading a novel and asking who is the main character. "2009...it is" he answered.

2009!!! I was 31 year old the year I died that means I am a century behind my time. That mean I am born again, just not from start. Well anyway I can't go back to that time with my current condition and without time capsule. So I have decided, I will stay in this era, at least it's peaceful. But I don't have anything here, neither a place nor a job.

"Little girl, what are you thinking about so stressfully?" Lucas looked at me as he asked. "Ahh...Nothing just thinking about where to go and what to do now that I am lost." I answered with a concerned look.

"Isn't it simple...." He said. Huh... what does that mean?

Looking at my confused look he continued his words, "You stay with me. I am anyway living alone.". "Okay... I am fine with it." I answered to him bassfully without a shame as if I was waiting for him to say it, which I wasn't. He laughed at my cheekyness.

And that's how I started my life again...
