Chapter 1 - Back to the Beginning: Ten Years Ago

'Monaaaa ooo Monaaa! Now, wake up you gonna be late for your plane. It's time for you to go to airport, dear. It's already 7a.m.. Your plane is at 8:15a.m.! Wake up already!' Mom shouted.(***Mona is my nickname)

I woke up hurriedly. 'It is already morning! It still feels like I came back from party, thrown by my friend because of my departure, with exhaustion.(To herself) Looks like I drank yesterday too much still feels like vomiting.'

In a messy look, I got off from the bed. My eyes were very heavy and baggy and covered with black circles. I washed my face and freshly bathed, changed my clothes in an elegant and classy style and went to dining room to eat breakfast.

'So, when are you planning to come back, Rina', said in a deep voice by a face hidden behind the newspaper.

'Well I am not sure about it but I will try to finish my studies in London and come back to Kolkata as soon as possible, Papa', I answered.

I applied some makeup on my face and brought my suitcase down the stairs with some other necessary stuffs with her. My mother was really broken down and was very concerned about my health and about how would I be able to cope up there.

My father told me in a grumpy and concerned voice, 'I was hoping you would not go today though. But, anyways try to return home as soon as possible. I just feel like something bad is going to happen. Please be aware always.'

So, then I stepped my foot into my unknown world.

I reached the airport. Never thought it to be so crowdy. It was my first time to be travelling in the plane so of course, I was nervous.

But the only thing is even though I was leaving this country, I felt like I was leaving someone dearest to me. However, as I already took the decision to leave them and the country, I would never back off from it.

I boarded the aeroplane at 8a.m. and kept my stuffs and suitcase in overhead compartment in the economic class. Luckily, I got the window seat. Being a 25 year old girl in 2025, sometimes I think that I am already 50. My back really hurts.

Now, the air hostess welcomed all of us with sweet greetings and also gave us the necessary instructions which we have to follow necessarily. She ensured us if anything we want to eat or drink or any necessary directions and help required they would obviously help us with it. The pilot announced repeatedly, 'Please, fasten your seat belt. The plane is about to take off'.

With a pressure and a little jerk, the plane started to fly in the air. Looking through the window it is making me feel like I am floating in the air.

The plane left the airport with no time but something felt off.

The plane was suddenly inclined after five minute exact.

I forgot to put off my Wifi and Internet and so I did. But, suddenly a message popped up in my phone-

'I wish your journey to be healthy and happy.....

I love you'

The plain crashed down.

Fire lit up bursting out. It also struck a medical hostel resulting in the death of about 300 people including me.

Everything ended in just five to seven minutes.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes.

'Aaaaaaaaa.....Where am I? Why is to so dark here?'

'Because it is night time. Why are you shouting, dear? Did you see a nightmare?' a sweet voice came from my side.

The voice was of my mother.

I instantly went to washroom.

'What! How is it possible? Why do I look like 15- year old self? What year is this?'

I went to search my phone.

(To myself) 'How is this possible? This year is 2015! Was that really a nightmare? Maybe. Anyways it's time to sleep, cuddling my mom'.

'Ahhh'- There was something underneath my pillow.

I sat up and saw hour glass under it.

I was really confused .
