Chapter 1 - A Moon Night Tragedy

It was midnight. The moon was full and was dazzling all across the sky, filling the ground with its luminous light, making everything visible at that time of hour.

A boy named Rivan arya , living in Delhi city, aged 18, just graduated from his high school, was hurrying back to his home, returning from his part-time job. 'C'mon I have got to get home as early as I can' he said to himself in an rather unpleasant way, 'I have a lot to study for my upcoming exam for the university entrance' It was never too easy to balance out both the study and the work at the same time, however, he was pretty good at academics.

His steps had a sudden break as soon as his eyes were distracted by a certain someone in the distance, all alone, standing in the playground, across the road, gazing over the sky, perhaps the moon. It was a girl, not just an ordinary girl, more like a princess, too cute to be real, mesmerizing, slender body and hair's like a silky, smooth, wavy, caremal black shimmering under the light of a moon, felt like completely out of a dream. 'Just in the fraction of second, it felt like as if it was a fate or something for him happen to see her. By her looks, he couldn't figure as much, was she elder or younger than him.

All of a sudden, a thought struck him, suggesting 'Just walk up to her already and ask her if she wanted to be your friend or perhaps girlfriend if possible', 'what am I even thinking , what a weird thought! who does that!' he said to himself with an unpleasant expression on his face. He couldn't help it, she was nearly like a moon-princess, you know the story, how she was sent into a family of no children who lived in a remote village, brought happiness into their life, however eventually, she was taken by moon-warriors. Even though villagers fought for her stay, but they couldn't stop them, 'Well, snap out of it! This is not a fairy tail, come back to reality' he muttered himself, coming back to his original spot.

It would definitely be rude to do such thing in the middle of a night, especially with someone you see for the time in life. He somehow managed to stop his urge to do so, even so, his eyes were not able to take off its sight off her.

Next thing he knew, he involuntarily started heading towards her, crossing the path, waving and crying out in an attempt to say 'hi' from the distance which was drowned by a sudden deafening noise coming towards him closer and closer. As a reflex, he jerked his head. He was half-bent now.

He couldn't see anything, too sharp lights that made his eyes squint. As soon as he put forth his hand before his eyes, he was able to see through the fingers' spaces that, what he saw that, was a huge massive truck heading towards him fiercefully. It was so sudden that there was nothing good a break could do, in other words, no way to escape for him now, 'I never would've imagined this is how the story of my life is going to end" he said to myself, closing his eyes, all ready to accept his fate. A long scream and….

Blood all over the place
