A man doesn't have time.
When he loses he seeks, when he finds
he forgets, when he forgets he loves, when he loves
he begins to forget.
Everything around her felt surreal, her vision was blurred perhaps due to the lights, perhaps the pain or was it her eyes filled with pearls of water seeping down her cheek. She wanted to escape, hide away from it all, she did not want to be rescued for she thought she cannot be rescued, it was too late for it all! The damage had been done. He was gone and with him she was!
He will die as figs die in autumn,
Shriveled and full of himself and sweet,
the leaves growing dry on the ground,
the bare branches pointing to the place
where there's time for everything.
The emergency workers dragged her out of the car ripping the metal door from the mess of the car that had been left behind. The broken glass shattered all over her face.
"Engaging all units, there is a hit and run case on Southside highway. The driver of the white highlander is dead on the spot; we need an ambulance for a young female'"
Came the distant voices of the police officer who made their way at the scene.
She slipped in and out of perception as she was being rushed into the emergency room by the EMTs. She shut her eyes hard trying to convince her it was all a bad dream a nightmare just like the ones she had as a child.
"Khushi, come on! You are such a child" he complained grabbing the baby picture out of her hand
"No! now the entire college gets to see this" She ran around the corridor waving the picture
She is sinking, on the count of three
One, two, three! A jolt ran through her body as the defibrillator was placed on her chest.
"I love you so much khushi!" He whispered next to her ear softly nibbling on her neck.
She could see him! Hear him! He was leaving...
NO!
She reached out but he was drifting, someone was pulling her back
***
Ephedrine shot. She is losing blood; initiating transfusion.
She felt the gush of blood in her head as the adrenaline rushed through her, forcing her stone heart to beat, to pump, to go on without him. He was telling her to go on.
He left!
He was gone!
Now she laid still in the chasm.
----
Three days later
Khushi, Khushi .She is opening her eyes call the doctor Abby!
She heard the familiar voices ruffle her ears as she attempted to open her eyes. She shot open her eyes to stare at the white ceiling. She remained still as Abby and Sara came to her side!
"Khushi! Oh my God you are awake!" spoke Abby cupping her face
The doctor walked in right behind and went ahead to look at her vitals. He lifted her wrist to check the pulse she turned to behold the familiar face and that is when she erupted. She pulled her hand away from him with all her might, and began to shudder on the bed trying to rip apart all the IV swathing her. She pushed and punched shattering on top of her lungs
"HE IS GONE!!!!"
"My RAHUL IS GONE"
The nurse pinned her down as the doctor injected the sedative. She immediately started to calm down and her violent rage turned into sobs.
"Bring him back'" she murmured falling unconscious
The doctor signaled Abby to follow her as he exited the room leaving Sara behind to witness the state of her once, vivacious friend.
"We cannot assess her condition until she wakes up again; the sedative will last for a couple of hours." He continued.
Abby broke into uncontrollable sobs hearing the doctor and all he could manage to say was
"Sorry!" And before he could say anything further an announcement went on the speaker
Dr. Raizada report to the ER immediately.
Excuse me Arnav continued as he paced towards the emergency room as a tear rolled down ther corner of his eye.
