Abhigya SS - A Connection
Abhi walked along the pathway lost in thoughts, just genuine thoughts about his life. What he had been and what he had become. Life had given him a lot, he was successful but he had no one to love, no family at all. No one to talk to, no one to share his joy or sorrow with.
He sighed as he continued to walk when his eyes fell on a petite girl crossing the road, her hair fell in bouncy curls and she was wearing a red kameez. Abhi saw that there was a car driving at high speed towards her but she wasn't aware, she wasn't moving. Abhi ran quickly and managed to pull her back just in time as the car screeched past them.
Abhi felt her arms hold onto him tightly as she screamed in fear. Abhi comforted her before gently facing her.
"Hey, are you okay? You should look where you are going!"
"I - I'm fine. Thank you very much" She said looking not directly at him. "I wish I could see where I was going" She murmured quietly.
"Wait? What do you mean?" Abhi asked confused.
"Umm actually I'm blind, I can't see" She laughed.
Abhi watched her stunned. She was so pretty, her plump lips, her long hair, her smile. Abhi felt horrible.
"I'm sorry" He spoke quietly. "But you should be careful, aren't you here with anyone?"
"Yeah I was with my friend, she left just now, I told her I would be fine, she was busy anyway. I had the cane but I dropped it and I was trying to pick it up but I couldn't"
"Oh" Abhi's eyes fell on the guiding cane on the floor beside them and gently handed it to her. "If you want I can drop you home, it would be my pleasure"
"Please no, I don't want to trouble you! My house is near by"
"It's fine, my house is close too, I will drop you on the way"

"Thank you" Pragya told him as she got out and he helped her to the door.
She had the door opened to her friend and was about to enter when she turned back and asked him "Hey, thank you, but what's you name?"
"Abhi, Abhi Mehra, yours?"
"Pragya, Pragya Arora"
"Nice name, bye see you soon!"
"See you soon?"
"Yes I would love to meet you tomorrow if possible?"
"Sure, bye! Thanks once again"
"Don't say thanks, it was my duty"
Abhi smiled as she walked in with her friend. He didn't know what it was but there was some connection he had with her.
Okay so that was it, should I continue?
