Karma - part 1

There was only darkness that I could see. I was feeling like floating in the air guided by some current or breeze. I opened my eyes with some difficulties and then heard some one speaking.

[Heyy …., can you open your eyes…. .Can you hear mee…..] some one shouted.

[Yes,I can hear you but not so loud , I’m not deaf] I said. As I open my eyes  ,I could see a person who is around six foot tall. He had a half trim beard.His look was average. His age seemed mid thirties. He was wearing some kind of Butler coat which has extends to calf in back side in 'v' for each leg. The coat and shirt was white buy he was wearing full length black trouser.The design on suit was weird like worms of same color as clothes moving on them.

I could see him as normal looking middle age man wearing weird white & black suit .He was examining me with his look. I could see a light appear in his eyes for a short moment.

When I looked around I could see that this was weird looking room but compared to the outfit he was wearing this was better.

[What happened and can I know where am I . I feel somewhat fuzzy ] as I was trying to make clear what happed. I don't know why but my head was paining so much.

[ Of course you would feel fuzzy , because you died just now] he said while having a look that says "you don't know that".

[Whattt..!!!!! ,But..but.. how…!!] I muttered ,trying to remember what happened to me.

Then I remembered what happened in my last moments before I died.

[ now you remembered how you died]

I could vividly remember what happened.

[Brother…., Brother… , Why is our house is getting destroyed?] He asked me while pulling hands in sadder mood. I could see tear forming on corner of his eyes

[Because, It's not our house anymore . It belongs to them ] that's all I can say because I could not think of a way to explain to him

The house that is being destroyed used to be our house , But fate had a different plan. We were poor to begin with. My father had good job at a good company but he lost his job after the company went bankrupt. After that it all went downhill, we lost almost all of our properties.We never had much property before.

Before 18th century our family used to own half of this town and it was big family.We are long lineage of temple protectors in this city. The temple next to our house. My mother said ,In middle of the 18th century our household head did so many bad things that’s when our family bad luck started. My family properties was lost because of being splitting in to many families .

My grand father and grandmother was killed during an accident in a shopping district. After mother married father our luck changed , but it didn’t last long . After Father lost his job ,we were having some tough times ,then I lost my parents in car accident.

I was taking my brother to take last look at the temple we used play as a child. Mother always believed in God’s and said that this temple god is powerful and he has powers of karma. She always said that our family offended this god so this was our retribution .

While I was thinking ,I lost sight of my brother. After searching I found that he was watching our house getting destroyed with sad face. When I saw that my heart tightened. He used to have good memories here .

Suddenly I could see that the pillar that was being lifted by crane line collapsed and it was falling towards my brother. We were separated by a meter or two, before I could think I push my brother out of the way of the pillar. But all I could was push my brother out of the way and I couldn't move out of the pillar trajectory.

In my vision I could see the pillar getting near. I don't care about what had happened to me but my biggest regret is that I couldn’t watch my brother grow up and help him to build a good life. Then the pillar hit my body, my whole body hurts like hell. Before I could say anything , I passed out from pain. And now I am here before the weird guy. I thinks I am at heaven now . I don’t know what I am going to do.
