Her mother had narrated to her, every small detail mentioned in the forecast…except the part which augured her death, which she refused to share with Aabha owing to her protective maternal instincts that prevented her from talking about her daughter’s death.
Now that her mother was no more, Aabha was curious about her own death and hence she flipped through the pages of the leaflet to reach the last page that mentioned the exact date and time of her death. Realization struck in the form of a piercing pain shooting through her chest, and in the next few seconds, the last prediction about her life came true.

Crisp narration that makes it relatable and something many of us fail to delve on the karma of life and existence. You got me hooked.
Thanks Vishal 🙂
Phew! That was quite a crisp one and a sudden swing of thoughts. Nice variation Vinodini 🙂
Yeah, trying to stay away from monotony Vinay. Thanks!
once again I love your style of writing and also the topics you choose, I do believe our lives are mapped out for us, although I don't really want to know what is planned for me!!! I do accept that whatever happens, does so for a reason!
Thank you Lisa! You're right, everything that happens, is for a reason. It does get boring if life is predictable.
Your narration is so good. Also, I wouldn't ever want to know my future. Ruins the present 😉
Loved the way you ended it 🙂
I agree Embark, knowing your future spoils the present…life's good when we go with the flow. Thanks 🙂
That was intense..well i never believed in astrology but my mother does n things have actually fallen in its lap…beautifully narrated Vinodini..
Thank you Shruti. You only end up believing things that have won your confidence.Welcome to my blog.
Somethings are better left unknown, I guess. Such a nicely woven story, Vinodini 🙂
Thanks Aathira! Yeah, its best to let some things be unknown. Life can spring us some ugly surprises!
Loved the story! Somethings are left unsaid for a reason!
Thanks Reema. True that!
Whoaa.. that was short and crisp writing Vinodini. I thought that her death thing wouldn't come true. But it did 🙁
Thank you Jyotsna! It did come true and you read how…ironic eh?
I love your stories…its a skill inherent which all do not have…It flows…
Thank you so much Chaitali. I'm humbled by your appreciation.
Narration is awesome 🙂

Excellent well-told tale.
Thanks McGuffy. Welcome to my blog 🙂
Oh, I was pierced in my chest when I read that ending! Just kiddin' but I felt for her and it hurt! Though of course, brilliantly written (as usual)! 😉
Thanks Elly! Yeah, some endings are sad. Can't do much about it.
Crisp narration throughout. And what an ending! Really, sometimes the very knowledge of when that final moment has to come can bring on that moment. Powerfully written.
Thank you Beloo. Yes, it is that moment of realization that hits you hard sometimes.
Brilliant! 🙂
Thanks Aayesha. Good to see you here 🙂
Very creative…nicely written…:)
