[Location: Shelby's Garage]

🎶"I got a gal who's always late🎶

🎶Everytime we have a date🎶

🎶But I love her 🎶

🎶I'm gonna ask her🎶

🎶Is you is or is you ain't my baby? 🎶

🎶The way you acting lately 🎶

🎶Makes me doubt🎶

🎶~You are still my baby, baby😉~"🎶

The air was heavy with the rich aroma of motor oil and aged leather.

The flickering light from a solitary work lamp intensified the focus on the meticulous hands of the lone mechanic singing along to the cartoons on the T.V.(Tom and Jerry), tracing the curves of the iconic bike with practiced precision. The Harley, partially disassembled, gleamed under the artificial luminescence, its chrome accents reflecting the dedication of the repairer.

'Ah fuck, man! I am drenched in sweat and machine oil'

'I have to finish this fast and get a hot bath~'

The young man looking not even about 20 tightened the last screw of the bike's tyre and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He is laboring alone late at night which shows how passionate he is about his job-

'shut your trap, I ain't doing this shit for the passion. I am only doing this to pay my bills.

after all, I am an orphan '

Poor guy, As he just said he is an orphan. His mother died while giving birth to him and his father also joined her after succumbing to testicle[blood] cancer. He was raised by his Uncle Ben.

But four months ago his uncle tried to become a hero by saving an old lady's a$$ from robbers but got gunned down by them instead.

Now, His body is six feet down the ground.

Maybe some dogs are urinating on his tomb right now.

' Hey! hey! don't talk like that he was my uncle'

'fuckin author'

He cursed the most handsome author in the universe.

[A. N. "yea yeah he 'was' your uncle"]

"phew, It's done".

He scanned the bike after completing the repair.

"This thing is a beauty"

He admired the beautifully looking beast. The Harley Davidson Sportster.

"The customer will come tomorrow to take it back"

"but before that let's go for a test ride"

He picked up the keys from the table inserted them in the bike and self-started it.

**exhaust sound**

"Men die for this sound".

He navigates the bike out of the garage and starts driving it on the road.

The roads are mostly empty. The full Moon looks exceptionally gorgeous and the stars are glistening. The trees are swaying with the high winds. The view can only be described in one word

. . . . . . . . . . . . . " Breathtaking ". . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Man, This calls for a cigarette"

he pulled out a Marlboro cigarette box and lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette skillfully like a chain smoker who knows nothing but only how to smoke.

" - _-*"

*puff*

He inhales the first sip, takes a deep breath and lets nicotine calm his mind.

He again started the bike and drove it in the direction of the highway at a slow speed.

[30 km/hr]

"What has my life come to"

He lets his thoughts through his mind

[40 km/hr]

"why do I have to go through all this? "

" Why I am so unlucky? "

He looks in the direction of the sky and a miserable smile creeps on his face.

" When I wanted the love of my family you took that from me"

He blamed everything on god just like every other human being. It was like a dam which was holding his emotions finally broke.

[60 km/hr]

He inhaled the smoke and again started cursing the heavens.

" I always wanted to be an engineer but you

even took that dream from me"

He remembers the time when he was in high school. He got a scholarship to an engineering institute for his good grades but the teacher passed the scholarship to his child who was studying in the same grade.

He didn't even had the money to feed himself so how can he pay the fees of college.

[ 85 km/hr]

"That also didn't satisfy you so you sent the loan sharks and said that uncle ben had a fuckin loan over his head!! "

"How do I even repay that?"

"Should I kill myself?"

[100 km/hr]

"No No No I am not that weak to die for such a cause"

"Should I just run away from the city?"

He presses the clutch changes to sixth gear and rotates the throttle to its full capacity.

[110 km/hr]

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" """""

He screamed with all his energy.

"fu¢kkkkk!!! Why does it happen to me? "

"Do I have no right to live happily? "

He increased the speed of the vehicle to forget these worries.

[135 km/hr]

[140 km/hr]

[143 km/hr]

He was so engulfed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the truck in front of him taking a U-turn.

*honk**honk*

"huh"

He finally noticed the presence of the heavy vehicle in front of him after it honked.

"Wait!!!! Wha---"

*booom*

It was too late for his brain to take adequate action as the speed of his bike was quite high.

His bike crashed with the truck and his head hit the bumper of the truck at 143 km/hr. It opened up like a watermelon.

All of this happened so fast that he didn't even have the time to say his last words.

[Next Day]

In a restaurant, a large tv is displaying the latest news

{News69}

"Welcome to news69, you are watching the fastest 69 in which we provide the latest 69 news in just five minutes"

"So first news came from Braco City where a young man named Jimmy got himself killed in the Braco highway due to rash driving"

"Reports say that he was driving a Harley Davidson bike and was going at a very high speed and collided with the truck due to lack of visibility at night"

"So it's a request to all the viewers to always wear a helmet while driving"

" And the next news is ---"

People in the restaurant started chattering among themselves about the news.

"sigh! Can't they drive slowly"

An old man slurped his tea and commented

"but his preference for the bike is quite brilliant"

"oh! I mean 'was'"

Another young guy sitting beside the old man joked.

[Place *unknown??*]

[??]

A young man about 17 years old opens his eyes. He looks around for a while and the first thought that came to his mind was

"where the fuck am I????"

"wait a minute... Who am I???? "
