Anjana Anjaani
Part 1:
My hands were firmly grasped on to the leather steering wheel. My heart was racing at the same speed as my car. I was already way ahead of the speed limit everything I drove passed seemed to be blurred. Everything I touched seemed to be out of control. The steering wheel was moving left and right, the gears started to change. At that moment I thought to myself that the car had been possessed or somehow I'd forgotten how to drive. First when I was driving I had full concentration on the road but now my mind was somewhere else. All the cars behind me were gaining closer. I could hear the roaring of the engines getting louder and louder as I was getting trailed by the predators behind me.
I tried to press the brakes but everything went out of control and my car drifted swiftly off the road. I collided into a lamppost; the impact of the collision sent me flying out of the car. My face had hit the floor, first and then gradually my whole body was down on the floor, luckily it was grass and muddy. At that moment I heard muffled voices as well as screams and screeches. My eyes could picture a blurred image rushing towards me, my brain wasn't functioning and I was just about to pass out but I could just about tell that the figure coming towards me was of a woman whose indistinct voice sounded extremely concerned.
As I slowly opened my eyes realisation hit me, somehow after the accident I reached here, a small cottage that seemed to be placed in a very isolated area. The room I was in was dark and gloomy, I steadied myself up and looked around the room trying to recall how I got here but every time I tried to remember my head started to throb in pain. All these blurred images were flashing before me I could see myself lying on the floor with blood oozing out and some lady figure treating my wounds. Who is this women that keeps on reappearing in my thoughts I can't see her face but those flashbacks bring the image of the same woman. Aarghh what's going on!!?? What am I doing here?!! Why can't remember what happened!
"I'll tell you what's happened", said a soft feminine voice. I turned to look and there she was that same figure only now she wasn't blurry and I could finally see who she was. The lights were now on and she came in wearing traditional Indian attire red anarkholi suit by the looks of it. Her long browny hair was flowing down and those beautiful golden earrings really complimented her. She had the most stunning features, those bold green eyes were sparkling and her long eyelashes fluttered every time she blinked. God she just looked so innocent and elegant. Whoa wth am I doing! Why the hell am I ogling over a woman who I've never met before! God Dutta you have to get your act straight first you have a massive crash and now you're going dewana over an anjaan larki chi, kuch to sharam hona chaye.
"Urrm, are you okay? " She asked, seeming a bit freaked with my pagalpan behaviour.
"Oh ya sorry, well, my head still hurts, my bones are aching and it feels like I've broken every bone in my body. But other than that I'm feeling great." I replied back sarcastically.
She looked down in embarrassment and her rosy cheeks turned to a brighter red, whilst tucking a bit of her hair behind her ear; she walked up to the side table and placed the tray of food she was holding.
"Here, have some of this, homemade medicine this should help ease the aches and pains, it's a miracle you survived that crash you know, you're lucky that you fell on the grass rather than concrete'
Anyway you must be wondering who I am and how you got here and all. Well let me introduce myself. My name is Nakushsa but you can call me Naku, I'm a doctor and I live here by myself, the place you crashed is a small town near here, because I'm a doctor I thought it would be best to bring you to my place as I'll be able to treat you properly. Also being a doctor it's my duty to help out anyone in any kind of distress."
She spoke in such a luring voice and I was just mesmerised not being able to get my eyes off of her, I was drowning in those beautiful green eyes.
I suddenly got out of my trance and spoke back to her.
"Well, I don't know what to say, thanks for helping me though, I really appreciate it.
My name is Dutta, I came to New York just under a year ago so I don't really know the place well."
"Oh so you're new here, well welcome to New York."
After an awkward silence she spoke again hesitatingly.
"If you don't mind me asking, why were you driving so fast and why were there so many cars following yours?"
"That's a long story; my life has been so chaotic over the years that I seem to have lost myself in the chaos. I just don't know who I am anymore". I replied back with so much hurt and pain clearly visible on my face.
She looked in to my eyes and for a minute it seemed as if she had taken away all that pain and anguish I felt. She looked back down shyly and spoke with so much honesty and sincerity.
"I'm ready to listen, that is if you want to tell me. Since I bought you here, all I've been witnessing is how badly you've been hurt not just physically but emotionally too, it's all clear in your eyes."
"Thank you" was all I could say, this girl had just blown me away.
