The roads were pretty much empty except the occasional cars passing by, what more could he expect as it was past midnight. He lived an hour away from his workplace which would take fifteen minutes owing to the empty roads. He cursed his boss for the last minute changes he insisted in the current project, if not him he would have been resting in his room now.
It's not the late hours of work he hated, it was the morning after which would bring the brunt of his father. From the past couple of years his relationship would be termed as complicated, he couldn't figure out if he was disappointed, angry or sad. Reason his family owns a family business which wasn't doing wonders at the moment but was just doing well since dad had taken over, rest is easy to guess.
The late night breeze which was blowing past him was quite soothing his stressed mind, changing the gear of his bike he slowed down enjoying the calmness of the city for once.
It was then he heard it the speeding car, which was coming from the opposite side of the road. The car wasn't coming straight and the person in the driving seat was drunk for sure.
He could feel it any moment from now the car would hit the divider and whosoever was driving the car would lose control and the rest would be history.
Before the car could get any closer to him he took the next left lane which took him away from the main road. Increasing his speed and blocking himself from his surroundings and took turns consciously which would take him away from that place to sooner to his safe heaven.
When his house came to view he parked his bike and walked towards his house trying to compose himself. Thanking and cursing god at the same time he tiptoed into his room as quietly as possible.
Once in his room he dumped his stuff on the bed removing his shoes he walked into the shower with his cloths still on...
He could still hear his heart thumping just imagining the accident, what would you feel if you saw the dead?
Maan Khurana the only heir of his family business, one with a successful Job and recently in a relationship could see the Dead . The Dead, Ghosts, Spirits or whatever one may call them, he could see them. From the age of 15 that has been his permanent and most personal secret.
No one knew about it because people would term him crazy or worse some kind of exorcist. He didn't want to be in any of the scenarios so from then on he started ignoring their presence. It was hard at first but he was a kid back then so who ever found him acting strange at times ignored him as one of his childish tantrum.
Taking a deep breath he stepped out of his shower changing into his night cloths, pushing his laptop, bag, watch and stuff to the floor he pulled the covers on to himself making himself comfortable. Reaching for his phone from the ground he checked his msgs which from the evening.
Tomorrow is our Six Months Anniversary!!
I'm Expecting a surprise gift

That was my dear friends was his girlfriend. Yawning widely he placed his phone on the night stand and let the Darkness of the night consume is conscious.
