Happy Birthday

Each of us has different beliefs about life after death. Heaven... Hell... Resurrection... Reincarnation...

I cannot help doubt these beliefs.

Millions of people died everyday, and I've always wondered... where do their souls really go after death?

All I know is that when we crossed the border of the sand we never know where the ocean waves will lead us.

We can't tell when will death come knocking on your door

*Phone Rings* MOM

I was about to answer the call when someone accidentally bumped to me.

"Sorry" The man apologized and hurriedly left.

I think I've seen him before... But I don't remember seeing him before and now... Deja vu I guess?

"Hey Mom, What's up?"

Mom: Happy Birthday Sweetie!!

"Aw, Thanks Mom"

Mom: Are you gonna come home tonight to celebrate your birthday?

"Yes Mom, I'm coming home tonight"

...

"Mom?" Did she hang up? But we're still on call.

"Hello?? Mom?"

...

"Mom? Are you okay? You're scaring me"

Mom: Hahaha I'm sorry my silly child... It's just that, I can't believe you've turned 20 today, for all those years taking care of u and witnessing you grow up. I always remember you being a little girl... Sigh Time passes really fast

"Mom... Even though time passes really fast, I'll be the little girl that you always loved and cared for, it's not like am gonna die today"

Mom: Oh u better not die, I've spent a lot of money raising you!

"Mom, seriously?"

Mom: Hahaha just kidding, Whatever happens in your life I want you to take care of yourself always and do what makes you happy, Alright?

"Yes and Thanks Mom.... By the way, How's Dad? Is he alright?"

Mom: He's fine Sweetie, He went to work earlier

"Tell Dad to not stress himself on work as always I mean both of you not to stress yourselves hehe... Anyways Mom... I got to go now Mom I still have a class to attend later, See ya at home tonight Mom"

Mom: Ok sweetie, Goodluck, and Goodbye! Take care!

"Bye!"

Hm... I wonder what time is it?

7:30 AM- Wednesday, June 10, 2021

20 minutes left before my class starts, Seems like am kinda early today.

Just like Mom, I can't believe am 20 now.

[AstronomyCalendar: Today is the Annular Solar Eclipse at 3:01 PM until 5:31 PM with the peak at 4:22 PM]

Cool... It's my first time to have a Celestial event on my Birthday. It seems like my coming age of 20 is special hahaha.

Alright time to keep moving!

...As I began to walk across the road....

*Car Honking*

"Hey, are you alright? You almost died in there"

Not expecting my own death will come today.

I guess that's my last conversation and goodbye to Mom...

I suddenly remembered the thought that I always asked myself.

Am I gonna be able to find the answer to my question? Am I gonna see what life after death is like?

Those are the thoughts running in my mind while I'm dying on the road.

The pain that I felt right now while dying, everything is starting to get numb....

It feels like I'm floating in the water peacefully...

Is this what dying feels like? The pain that they felt went numb to....

As I woke up, thinking if everything that happened including my death was a dream or...

I noticed that I am not in my own room that I always woke up into but this room is familiar to me like I've been here before.

I went out of bed to look around the room when I noticed me wearing a white long dress. But I don't own any dress like this though and I don't remember buying a dress like this.

I went out of the room and found myself in a Mansion in the middle of the woods, I guess?

All of the lights were open in this Mansion and I supposed someone is in here other than me.

But what I'm thinking right now is that everything I can see right now in here is so familiar like what I said in the room I came out from.

'Everything is so familiar like I've been here.'

Am I dreaming or something? Only one way to find out, I tried to put my finger to the middle of my palm to see if it will go through or not.

Great! It didn't, so it means... IT MEANS....

I'M NOT DREAMING!!

Felice come on you're dreaming! Just try pinching yourself or slapping yourself really hard!

Yes! Pinching and Slapping! I tried to pinch myself really hard and- GEEZ IT HURTS!

Oh no! I really am not dreaming!

"H-hey Felicia, You're awake"

I knew I'm not the only one here! But why did he call me Felicia? My name is Felice, but Felicia is similar to Felice though.

"What date is it today?"

"It's June 10,2020"

June 10?? Then today is my birthday, the same day I died in my dream! It's 7:55 before I died in my dream!

"What time is it??"

"It's 8:00AM"

"8-8:00AM?"

"Yes It's 8:00AM"

Then 5 minutes passed after I died in my dream but is it just a coincidence? But it doesn't make sense to me!! I woke up not in my own room!!

"C-can you bring me to España Blvd?"

"España Blvd? Sure, let's go!"

I followed him to his car so we can both go to the place I asked him to take me to.

LATER

"Uh hey! I just wanna ask, who are you?"

"My name is Anthony, I'm your brother alright"

Brother??? Well I'm the only child in the family? And why did he said it in a cold tone?

"Did I say somethin-"

"We're here"

As we arrived the España Blvd. I already spotted a crowd nearby the road like something happened.

This couldn't be a coincidence to my dream.

I'm still here, alive and witnessing everything that was happening right now.

I decided to join the crowd to see what is happening.

"Excuse me, let me through"

Finally I reached the front but...

What is my friend Amber doing here? Why is she crying?

When I looked at the person in the in the accident to see what is she crying about

It was me
