My name is Akshar. I’m the main person to be noted in this story. I’m not a greatest man. I have a small family , a wife and 2 kids. I work in a decent firm , good enough to run my family in a decent way. My main hobby is listening to music. Even if you give me 10 seconds I would listen to some song. I like all kinds of songs invariable of its origin, tempo, mood , singers. But I have one whom I love a lot. He is Shane. He is the best person I have ever heard of. I like all his performances and I will go crazy listening to his songs.

Sometimes I will skip food just to enjoy his show on TV. I will sacrifice going out just to listen to his songs. My family were of course not very happy with my behaviour. I have spent hundreds of rupees for getting his CDs. I have even spent thousands of rupees for getting tickets to his shows. This caused a lot of trouble time for my family, but I don’t care about anything. My only aim is to meet Shane and get his autograph. I know I sound crazy, but this is what I want in life.

At this juncture I heard a greatest news in my life. Shane is going to come to my hometown and perform concert. I could not believe my ears and was acting like a madman. I contacted the auditorium officials and got the most expensive tickets for the show. It came with the bonus offer, where I can spend a day with Shane. This is the moment of my life. This is the moment  I was waiting in the whole of my life. I got expensive suit, I upgraded my car and I was jumping in joy. My family just watched me, but they could not do anything to stop this.

Finally the D-Day arrived. I could not sleep the previous night, so got up very early and was getting ready for the golden opportunity of my life time. It would be around 6, when someone knocked at my door. I opened and saw a middle aged person. I also saw an executive car parked right in front of my house. I started guessing would it be Shane sitting inside the car looking at me. I was excited.

The man finally opened his mouth breaking the  silence . For a moment I felt I was shot right at the centre of my heart. I felt my dreams shattering down like a broken glass in front of my eyes. Shane is no more, he died in a car accident.I could not believe this. The man handed over the cheque to me and he was gone.  I sat down as if the whole world was going to sink. My wife understood my feelings and patted my back, but she was helpless. My kids were too small for feelings. They all left me alone in a short while. I could not digest the fact that such a terrible thing happened to such a great singer.

I went to kitchen to divert my mood. There I found a gift wrapped and placed on the table. It had a name ” To my dearest Shane, from you Fan”. It was the crystal CD player. There were also couple of cards made by my kids for Shane. All in vain. I could not forget the fact that I could not meet Shane and I never will anymore.

Suddenly I felt something. I rushed to the bedroom , took a notepad and wrote “SORRY”. I took 60 sleeping pills in hand. I know this is not the way, but something pushed me to do so. I ate one by one. As each pill passed my throat I felt the chance of meeting Shane was more. Finally all the pills reached safely. I was sleeping deeply. I don’t know how long I slept. I suddenly woke up to find my wife and my kids crying. I saw myself lying on the bed. Who am I now? I don’t know. I felt bad for doing such a thing. But then I remembered why did I die. I need to meet Shane.

I don’t know where to go. If there had been a GPS to heaven , I would be happy. I went outside the door. I felt something was pulling me. I could not even move. Something pulled me and pushed me into darkness. It took sometime for me to adjust to the light. There was nothing. I wandered to see someone. But nothing. After a while I found a queue and there stood my hero Shane waiting in the line just like others. He was very simple. I waved at him, I could not talk, he smiled and moved in. He was just like any other person there.

Suddenly I felt what have I done to my family. I want to see them , go back to my body and start the life again. But I know that is not possible.I moved back. I ran towards my house. I could see my kids and my wife. She looked more beautiful. My kids have grown. I did not even notice them. What have I done to them? I saw myself . I was being dropped into the ground and there it goes the end of my life. I don’t know how to cry now. I stood there staring at my house , which will be no more mine. Suddenly everything went dark.

Ron and Jane were married for 4 years. They tried hard for a child, but all in vain. Finally she was happy to know that she was pregnant and going to have a baby in another 9 months. I don’t have a body, I’m just a single cell, but I have a feeling. I still remember my past, I’m growing again. I don’t want another life. I prayed God not to give me another life. But he said I did not live my past life properly, so I’m growing here again. I still remember the crying face of my wife and kids.

Finally Jane gave birth to her son after long wait of 9 months. He was so cute and he was named Jack. He was growing up as a very cute boy. At the age of 6, Jack asked his parents showing “Shane’s Music collection” asking them who he was. ” He was a greatest musician and he is a legend”. Jack replies ” Yuck!! I hate this music!”.
