Early morning 6 am, Alarm ring, I turned it off and went to sleep again, my mom wakes me up and without even opening the eyes I took a straight path to restroom. Suddenly I got a kick then I noticed that I am still lying in a wet bed, I realized that I had been dreaming the whole picture, and mom kicked me for the reason as I done the duty of the restroom in the bed.
By the way to start Me Arjun, studying in 4th standard, I usually wake up at 6 am and start to move to school at 8 am. I go to school by cycle. I am an average student in the school as to be very true i am a topper of the last rank in the class. I have a very bad habit I get to sleep soon as I get bored and sometimes I couldn’t realize the things whether i am doing it in real or dream. Like all others I too have an aim in my life, my aim is not to become a doctor or engineer or manager or lawyer instead i want to become a great bike racer.
That day morning after the kick my routine starts, I started moving to school in cycle. The route which i take to the school had lot of turns, during the turns I just think off the road as the bike race tracks and the vehicle as a Yamaha bike (even though I actually drive a cycle). On one of the turns i was bending my cycle too low just as a bike racer takes it. DAMN!! I just skated and which had hurt me in the knees. I was not caring about it again i lifted my cycle and start to drove again in hurry as it will get late to school. After still moving with that pain to school, I got to school by 8:45 AM (school starts at 8:30 AM), I got a punishment to do 20 sit-ups (it was a usual punishment practice followed by our school for the late comers) after this tired start, I went to my class and just took a seat in the last bench. The classes starts at 9 AM. Teacher entered to our class we all wished in a chorus voice "Good Morning Teacher !!" and then we settled on our seats. Teacher casually took of the chalk piece and wrote the subject name "Science" in the board and turned to us and said its "Review time of the last classes" . Teacher started to ask too much of question from the topic which she taught on the previous classes.
I got bored and when I see all the students were answering the teacher in chorus. I just started scribbling in the bench and just acts like answering with perfect lip sync. Suddenly I heard my name called by the teacher and I stood up she was directing so many questions on me and I was answering to all the questions what she shoot on me. While she was asking me each question she was taking a foot towards me(may be i think she stepping near to me whether i have opened any book as i am answering all the question correctly). She came very close near to me and gave a tight slap; I saw all students are watching the act with the smile in their face. Teacher slapped me for sleeping and I was actually answering her every questions in my dream.
After the school a bad day, while I was sad for whole day as got slapped by my teacher for sleeping before all the student which embarrassed me but now when the bell rang I said to myself ‘it is time to get in to race”. I took the cycle gone at the bend with the cycle in the curves in the road, balanced the cycle by standing in the pedals and touching the branches in the trees and also done the wheeling for two or three times continuously before reaching home.
There was a surprise when I reached home, I saw a new scooter standing near to my house. It was new Activa scooter gold color from the Honda Company and I was touching the bike it was very smooth. I got very curious and jumped inside home to ask mom about it. Suddenly dad came out and took the vehicle and asked me “whether you want a ride?” which made me excited.
I never went a ride in bike. This is the first vehicle in our house (other than cycle) and I was happy just to climb it by keeping the one leg in the footstep and just put the other leg over to other side. It was an awesome ride with my dad, I was just asking him to keep going till the fuel meter showed near E mark(Empty mark) then suddenly dad turned to me and told “it is enough for the day and we can carry on the ride tomorrow if you want” then we went to nearby fuel station to fill the petrol. While returning back to home I was quietly sitting at the back seat and my dad was driving very slowly as it become very dark.
When we reached near to house just before few meters away from our house: dad turned to me and said “Whether you want to try this from here and I will guide you” crazy heart popped out from me with an excitement and I switched in front and my dad was guiding me. But dad took the control of the bike within few seconds. Even though it was very easy to drive but it was a heavy and I had a slight difficult in driving (as i need to balance the vehivle and my dad sitting back which adds extra pounds to vehicle) so dad drove it to home. I took the keys from the vehicle and dad was putting a cover, a blue color cover, over it to protect the vehicle from the weather conditions (it was a rainy season in our place)
Mom had made the dinner ready for us by the time we reached home. I couldn’t have the dinner as mind was not able to accept that I couldn’t drive as driving was the only interested thing to me. I was sitting near to the window and thinking to drive the scooter at least for once and watching the rain drops. I just popped out of window, not able to see the road water cover all of it. I went to sleep as I have to wake up tomorrow again at 6 am and continue to do my daily routine.
I lied in my bed but I was not able to sleep still everything was running on my mind. While turning to one side position I felt sometime is been bothering me at the bed. It was the keys in my pocket, I took the keys and kept in my hands and started to close my eyes and dreamed of slowly like I woke from the bed and moved to the main door and opened it. Removed the cover which was protecting the vehicle and slowly inserted the key in the vehicle, twisted such that it had made the engine to switch on, the beauty of the vehicle was that it had a self start button so just pressing the button it will make the vehicle to start. I pressed the button, accelerated the bike gradually and I made the balance it was moving slowly and gradually I was accelerating it and took the turn in the curve road. With the suddenly a heavy vehicle (lorry) was at the front and it was very near to me. I got shock and missed the balance when vehicle’s tire was over the stone which I couldn’t see because of rain water in the road and the lorry driver never see me coming in a fraction of seconds it hit over me.
I frightened and woke up from the dream and I realized that I was not in the bed anymore, I was at the road with the scooter, my blood spilled all over the road and now I realized I had drove the scooter myself in real and with a lot of happiness in heart just closed my eyes.
