CAUTION!! WET FLOOR

I opened my eyes to find myself somewhere very luminous. What is this place? I questioned myself. This can’t be my place. Never, it’s so clean. It’s like they are using 1000 watt tubes.

“Cushions too, no damp walls, it seems like they have painted it recently. I should definitely take some pictures and show my landlord. This is where I want to live. Let me take out my phone.” I murmured inside my head and started searching for my phone.

“Hey strangers too..All in white. I guess its independence or republic day. Nice kurtis.”I continued talking to myself while looking around.” Wow! She’s really tall. Such long legs and that too on clouds.”

“Clouds? Oh my god. Where the hell am I?” I panicked by seeing the really tall girl walking on clouds.

“Son of Biscuit..What I am doing on clouds. And wearing white clothes.” I looked down and started falling towards ground.

Within few seconds my body hit some solid surface and I was unconscious again.

“Splash” I opened my eyes again. Wiped water thrown on my face. As I came back to senses I looked around. I was in a room again very luminous. I was sitting on a chair. I was confused. What was happening to me? First I opened my eyes somewhere very incandescent with people wearing white clothes walking on clouds. When I found myself walking I fell down and fell unconscious. Wait a second, I know this is. I have seen movies both holly and bolly. Only dead peoples wear white clothes and walk on clouds. What the fudge? I am dead.

BAAAAM!!

Someone opened the door in which I was. I stood up to see who’s there. Entered an old man, dressed in white.

I tried asking him all the questions I had. But before I opened my mouth.

“I know what you want to ask. What is this happening and where the hell are you? But a slight correction”, he spoke” not hell its heaven Son.”

“What?” my mouth was wide open.

“And indeed you are dead” he said winking.

“Don’t joke? How is this even possible?” I questioned him.

He smiled hearing my question.

“Ok. If I am dead then why I fell from clouds?” I asked again.

“Because that was the time.” He replied.

“What time?” I asked.

“Time to know that you were dead” he replied again.

“What the heck? Then why I fell unconscious. Dead people don’t fell unconscious.” I was not in mood to accept the fact that I was dead.

“You were queued. Let me explain. When you realized that you were walking on cloud that was the time for you to know that truth. And every day we have lot of customers to handle, I mean dead people. So you were waiting in a queue and a conscious soul with questions in mind often are very dangerous” he explained the whole thing.

“But how am I dead?” I asked again.

“That’s why you and I are in this room. It’s time for truth.” He said and put his hands on my forehead,” now try to remember. Think; go deep in your thoughts”

Slowly my eyes became heavy, I started going back in thoughts. From water splashed on face to getting back to clouds. Closing my eyes and finally Saturday evening.

It was Saturday. I had date with new girl who joined office few weeks ago. It all started when I was given responsibility to teach her all about the new project. After a month of training we became a lot friendly.  I started liking her and was getting tips from play boy of my office sunny.

We were best buddies. I shared everything with him. Earlier he was also interested in her but when he came to know that I like that girl. He stepped down. Finally under his guidance I asked her out and she said yes.

In afternoon I got call from her that she has some important work in office so it won’t be possible today. I was little upset. In twenty four years this was the first time I asked any girl and somehow it was screwed.

But again my holly and bolly experience helped me. In some movie I had seen a geeky guy who was in same situation arranged a date in office with the girl. And after that the girl said to that guy, you are so sweet. You made my day and kissed him.

I too decided to do the same. However it was against office policy but its Saturday and that too around eight in the evening. No one will find out. So I brought flowers, foods and wine. Took an auto and went straight to office.

While coming I was stuck in traffic, badly wanted to go washroom. I took all my stuffs and ran towards the washroom. In front of washroom was a caution sign

CAUTION!! Wet floor. Please use another washroom.

I saw but ignored because I didn’t wanted to be late. Anyways I had walking experience of 24 years on different surfaces be it cement, muddy or whatever. So I ignored and got in.

I was walking friskily and my foot slipped.

“Baaamm” I slipped so badly that I was dragged into one of the toilet room.

I was badly injured. my head was little dizzy and aching. I opened my eyes, to see someone inside the toilet room.

“Sorry sorry… actually the floor was slipper and I..” before I could complete I noticed actually there were two people inside. One girl and one boy.

“Crap” they were my mentor who guided me and my date. What are they doing inside? Probably making out. Yes they are.

I stood up and broadened my eyes to believe more that I was back stabbed two times. From my new date and my best buddy.

“Why?” I asked them in anger. I was getting out of control.

“Look dude” sunny started speaking. But I was furious. I grabbed the wine bottle to him.

“And Then” the white God agent asked me.

“I don’t remember. What happened next? How I died? Please tell me.” I asked him.

“That’s why I am here” he said smiling and started speaking.

When you took bottle to hit again you slipped because of wet floor. Hit your head on tap and the bottle too fell on your head. You had excessive bleeding because of head injury and you are here.

 I came out of the room thinking what I got to know inside. What if I wouldn’t have ignored the sign CAUTION!! WET FLOOR. I would have been at home seeing more holly and bolly. I would have been not hurted that my love and best buddy cheated on me. And above all I would have been alive.
