Just-do-it!

I opened my eyes with a sense of precaution, my face abashing, and my fingers sensing the features of my face, rising hastily to my nostrils to check whether I breathe.

It took a few minutes to recoup conscience, that I had not fallen from a cliff, as I had dreamt, but just from the bed.

My back hurt, my elbows, even more, but the whimsical look that he gave, at the fallen- me, hurt the worst.

Now, how do I tell him that  his nagging, unceasing, Just- do- it advices, deluded me to dream of driving a two wheeler to a mountain??

I climbed back to the bed, assuring myself that I 'll  learn to drive, all alone!
