Rebirth - Story of Tamannah

Hello awesome people! I am Tamannah. And I am very much pleased to meet you. So get ready to hear my story. I live in a place called Nirvana. Nirvana is an extremely beautiful place full of greenery. I live with my mom and dad. I am the only child of my parents. Mom and Dad took the best care of me this whole childhood. My grandpa and grandma cherish me a lot. I didn’t tell you guys about my studies yet, right? I am in my 11th right now and Mathematics is my favourite subject. Oh, I know you don’t like it but I’m a nerd can't help it. Like all of you, I have a best friend too! Her name is Mandira. I will refer to her as Mandy going forth. She has a whole bunch of tantrums to throw all the time. With these precious people in my life, life has been peaceful and happy… until a few things happened that I couldn’t share with any of these precious people. The stuff which I cannot share even with my family. Because even if I share it with them, they will just think I've lost it and do all sorts of stuff trying to make me sane. If I share all of the stuff that happened with you… will you believe in me? Or are you already thinking that I'm nuts? Maybe you know why this kind of stuff is happening to me! So this happened around one month ago. After spending a wholesome day at school with friends, I returned home. I had my tummy stuffed with dinner, then slipped into a sweet and deep sleep. When I opened my eyes, I was sitting near a table. There was a small mirror near the table. I went to the table and looked at my face to confirm that nothing had happened to me. But whatever my eyes experienced there was beyond my imagination. I saw a beautiful girl’s face in the mirror. No no, I’m not talking about myself. That was some girl I’d never seen in my whole life. She was as beautiful and mesmerizing as a full moon. I was literally in someone else’s body. I know the girl is beautiful but I still prefer my own body. Jokes apart, I had a print of a palm on my face. As if someone just slapped me super hard, maybe that’s why I fainted. I could slightly feel the pain of that slap. I turned around and noticed an uncle lying on the ground unconscious. I went near him to check if he is still breathing and to my relief, he was breathing but just fell unconscious. Maybe someone hit him. Then I tried leaving that room but I woke up to reality. I know! I was as frustrated as you are now. I wanted to know what exactly was going on. But this confused me a lot more. Now I was Tamannah again. I thought it was just a dream. But if that’s true why was I able to feel the pain? I could even feel the things I touched. I woke up and finished my morning chores. Finally, I sat down to gulp some food but nothing was going down my throat. I was just moving my fork in the food, lost deep in my thoughts. Mom noticed it and said “Tam, what’s wrong? Is the food not good? I prepared your favourite pasta today and you didn’t even put a single spoonful in your mouth. Is something bothering you?” Yea, I know those are a lot of questions to be asked in a single go. I, who was lost in deep thought startled to hear Mom’s voice and replied uncertainly “Huh… uh.. oh yes I was just thinking about my homework.” “ Tummy first, Homework can be dealt with later,” Mum said. I finished the food and was packing my school bag. The school bus arrived and I boarded it. I was eagerly searching for Mandy and there, my eyes landed on her. And I sat beside her. We reached school in no time. I forgot about what I dreamt of. It was lunch break and everyone was discussing dreams. Dreams as in goals. That’s when I remembered I dreamt of something unbelievable. I dragged Mandy to a corner and told her everything that happened in my dream. I even told her that I could feel stuff in the dream. But as I expected, she declared that I lost my mind. “You worry too much about the upcoming exams that is why you are experiencing this weird stuff,” she said. After coming back home that evening, I wrote everything in my diary. Then I had dinner, studied for a bit, and slept like a sloth. Yes exactly whatever you are thinking has happened. I opened my eyes to find myself in her body again!!! The nurse came to me saying “ Thank god Nisha, you are finally conscious. We are still waiting for any of your relatives to contact us so we can discharge you. Take rest till then”. “ Oh! By the way, some guy brought you injured here, he didn’t tell anything about himself but left this letter for you.” Nurse left after handing me over that letter. I opened that letter and it said something like “ Nisha, It would be better for you to leave the country right away. They are not going to leave you alive if they find you.” I was just thinking while holding that letter in my hand ‘Who the hell could’ve rescued this Nisha, and why would they kill her? ’ Right then a man aged somewhere between 30-35 entered and said “ What did you even think while running away? Do you think we will breathe while you were holding such huge evidence against us? You are dead meat now.” He walked to the back of my hospital bed. And out of the blue, he placed a sharp knife on my neck. “ You are the reason that I had to hear from my boss until my ears bled. I won’t let you breathe even for a single second more” He slit my throat while saying those words. I woke up screaming. My heartbeat was racing even faster. Mom and Dad came to me running “What happened Tam? Why were you shouting? Why are you sweating so much?” I was shocked to even utter anything out of my mouth. After two whole minutes, I just told them that I’d seen a ghost in my dream. Are you thinking the same that I was thinking back then? Who was that guy? And what was the evidence he was referring to?
