The car was speeding off, no human in their right mind would drive at this speed especially on the turning curve of the hill.

I reach out to turn my steering wheel.

I can't move. It is almost like I'm paralyzed.

A hand reaches out and switches off the headlights.

Only the light of the moon was there to provide me sight in the dark night.

My eyes are getting blurry. I panic but my body doesn't respond . I look towards the passenger seat. Before I could make out on what looked like a man in a suit.

Everything went blank..

..................................................................................

“Miss Crown”. A kind voice calls out.

“Miss Crown , wake up!”, the kind voice seems concerned .

“MISS CROWN!!!!”. Now this voice is just annoying.

I turn over to the side and cover my ears from the screaming woman.

“Miss Crown It is very much not healthy to sleep this much! Please wake up!” I slowly rub my eyes and sit up on my bed.

My throat is very dry.

I turn over and start coughing when the woman hands me a glass of water.

I gulp down the glass without stopping.

“What's wrong Miss Crown? You're sweating like crazy!” .

She brings up her handkerchief and wipes my forehead.

She sits beside me on the bed. I look at Alice. She looks very concerned . I close my eyes and take a deep breath. “Are you okay miss?”. I nod and rub my sweat from my forehead . “Yes Alice I am perfectly fine” . She opens her mouth to speak but closes it and stares at the ground.

“Well then Alice please prepare my breakfast I'll be down in a while”. I pull off my sheet and get up . “Yes Miss”, She bows and hurriedly leaves the room. I walk into the washroom and hold the sides of my slab and plop my head in between my shoulders. Catching my breath I look up to my reflection in the mirror.

Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I keep seeing that dream? Or a memory that I can't recall?....

Whatever it is, it has to stop. I do my hair and freshen up for the day ignoring the dream I had.

Just as I walk into the kitchen the strong smell of pancakes and honey fills my lungs. Smiling, I hurry up to the table as Alice keeps my plate full of pancakes in front.

I look over to the television . Munching, I listen to the breaking news .

Reporter one : AA Groups Chairman Hands son the CEO position in the main headquarters .

Reporter two : Does this mean his daughter and younger son have only half of the company?

Reporter three : AA Groups chairman is holding a grant ceremony at Zeyan Conventional hall tonight at 7 pm.

oh right I almost forgot that I’ve been invited.

“Miss your car is here”. I finish my milk and hurry outside. It is a lovely day today. It is bright and the perfect temperature for a walk. I stare outside my window thinking of how this day is going to be , is it gonna be bad or is it gonna be good?.

We turn next to the tallest building in the city.

AA Group Headquarters.

A weird feeling creeps into my chest. I stare up at the 80 floored building. I still remember , one night 3 years ago this building caught fire and it burned down to shambles . No one was killed. That year the building was re-build . In a span of 2 years it built up to the same way it was before the fire. If I remember well , I was invited to the inauguration of the building.

That's when it all went wrong.

That night from what Alice had said , I was drunk and driving at a great speed when I couldn't control the steering wheel and ended up crashing down the mountain.

I woke up 3 months later and was allowed to go back home 7 weeks later. The most surprising part is that I don't even have a single scratch from the accident. The sharp sound of ringing pulls me out of my thoughts . I pull up my phone and look at the name. I instantly cool down and pick up the call in excitement.

“Why Good Morning Hay” . Chuckles come from the other side of the phone.

“Good Morning Pearl , are you free today?” . From the sound I could easily guess that she was still in her bed . Probably just woke up. We talked till my ride to the company.

I am so grateful to have a Friend like Hay , her actual name is Hailey McQueen , she runs a cosmetic company which skyrocketed while I was in Hospital. I’m happy for her . She was always concerned on how she would manage HMq . I bid all my workers a good morning and made my way into my office to start my day.

It was a stressful day . I had a 4 hour meeting where all the employees presented their thoughts on topics which benefit the company . I walked out of my office for lunch when I spotted Hailey standing down .

Oh right we were hanging out during lunch.

Her eyes brighten upon seeing me . We both go to the Mall to shop and hang out.

Tuesdays are our hangout days since the other days we both are busy with life , including the weekends. We walked around the shopping section . I look at all the fancy clothing from different clothing brands . Louis Vuitton , Versace , Dior , Prada .

Hailey was familiar with all these brands as she wears them. I’m not a person who really cares about my clothing but Hailey always finds a way into making me buy clothes , surprisingly they look really good on me. I sit outside the trial rooms waiting for Hailey to finish trying out her dresses and me giving her an honest opinion on whether it is good or bad. Slowly , faint notes of piano creept into my ears.

Symphony No.40

I look around instantly to find the source of the sound. Heading out of the store I followed the music. From childhood I’ve always been a huge fan of Mozart . He inspired me so much that I went for piano lessons and brought a Fortepiano which Mozart used to compose his music. My heels clinked on the floor loudly as I made my way to the crowd. I tried pushing past everyone to see the one playing. The music stops as the crowd claps. I guess I was too late . Everyone disperses . In the end when everyone disappears , only a piano is left behind. I walked up to it and touched the keys. Classical music has always been a life saver. Whenever I was sad or angry or just filled with so many emotions that I can't express . Whenever the world turns on me , this music saves me from it.

I sit down on the seat and look at the keys. I close my eyes and slowly make up a tone which describes my current state from the past 5 months. My emotions ever since that accident.

Prelude In E Minor

Frédéric Chopin

Just as I finished playing a huge wave of applause came in . I was so invested in playing out my emotions I didn't even realize that people had gathered around. I got up and smiled .

I walked my way out of the mall happily thinking of how peaceful my soul felt after letting out all the emotions. Just before reaching the exit I found an angry Hailey waiting for me . Shit I forgot I was waiting for her outside the dressing room. And the whole ride she argues on where and why I left.
