THE CALL.
Its was the hindu new year.I was at my friends place playing cards when my cell rang. It was my Brother on he other end. He said that a friend of ours had been in an Accident. I was schoked. I asked
who was driving. He said it was SukhdevI asked him the details. He said they were five of them and the car went Off road. No one was hurt. My brother asked me to keep it low and to And to come to the spot. I told my friends the case and said that I have to go. They came along Me. I took my bike and off we were to the place.
The thoughts.
Many things flashed though my mind. The car which was just bought six Months back. My friend who was real a very safe driver. I was wondering how He got himself into this. My friends father. I was wondering how 
would I break The news to him. I thought what people would say and feared that me and myBrother Would be blamed for this.
The spot.
When I got to the spot I wasn’t able to believe what I saw. The car looked Really bad. It had got off road a couple of meters back…it went in to the bushesAnd then due to the rise in the ground. Went in air and hit a concrete wall Breaking the fencing before the crashing the wall and then bounced back Resting in the ditch. I saw my my brother sitting by the side of the car and I Asked him how it all happened. He said that they were behind then in another Car. They saw it go off balance and go into the wall. I asked if he knew how it Happened. He said that they were overtaking a car and a car was coming form The opposite direction. The one sitting beside sukhdev freaked out and pulled The steering which caused the crash
Calling Uncleing
The hardest part of the day was to call sukhdevs dad and to break him the News of the accident. I knew how happy 
he was to buy a this car and how Much he had waited for it and how proud he felt for having it. I called him and asked him were he was. He said he was in vadinar but his Voice clearly showed he knew something was wrong. He straightly asked me Sukhdev was. We made sure that he was home before we call his dad so I told Him he was safe and at home. He then asked what happened. I told him that There had been an accident and that there was nobody hurt. But the car was Damaged. He asked how was the car in a very shaky voice. I told him the Damage was bad. He again asked were his son was and I assured him he was Safe and at home. He said he was coming to the spot.When he cam I saw the pain in his eyes. The car was badly damaged but more Than that was the spirit. He didn’t worry about the car but thought about The what the people were about to say. For when bad things happen you always Have people around you. Not to share your pain but to add spices to it.
People.
Slowly slowly people from our place began to gather at the spot. I was looking At them. Some really cared and some were just happy that it happened.There were people who just came to enjoy the show and some just to laugh.There were people who came to console and some just to irritate. Some just To justify they were right and some just to scratch the old wounds.
The aftermath.
The car was damaged and so were our spirit. Heart was heavy not form what We had lost but from what we had to hear. But alls well that ends well for No one was hurt. And the damage was much less than we had expected. The car would be back on the road in less than 25grands and the boys who were A bit off track would be on the track too…so we got to much to learn for this.
But it could had been worse.. Life could had been lost. Hearts could had been really broken.Not many people get warnings for there mistakes. We got one and we gotta learn from it.
Bye for now.
