A few hours before ( time preeta committed suicide)

There were three people on the othe side of the bridge. And as soon as one saw what Preeta was about to do.

He shouted "miss what are you doing?"

And that's when others also turned and looked at Preeta. There was a lot of panick going on both from their side and Preeta's was.

" Oh men, this is scaring, I've never seen someone commit suicide, you think she's gonna jump? that water right there runs so fast and does any of you know who she is?"one of the guys asked

But before another one could say anythingthing  they saw Preeta fall into the water and one of their friends acted on instinct as he also fell into the water to save her.

"Dave!! Dave, what the hell? He can't do this? What if something happens to him what are we gonna tell his family".

"Shiv, he dived in to save that girl"

"A girl, he doesn't know, what if he doesn't find her and he ends up drowning and dying?"

"Dave is a good swimmer and diver; am sure he will save her".

"Your right he good at swimming but this isn't a swimmiung pool. This water runs so fast with strong waves and on top of that there are big rocks in there ,  what if he hits his head on one of the rocks? why do you think this water is considered dangerous? " Shiv answered worriedly.

Andy had nothing to say because he knew it was  dangerous but what could he have done? he only hoped that Dave is okay and is able to save the girl.

For Dave, diving into that water unexpectedly had brought up a memory perhaps he will never forget. When he was seven years old one of his sisters who was only four at the time fell in the swimming pool and wasn't saved. He blamed himself for her death. And since then he promised to become the best swimmer and be able to save others. Preeta wasn't the only one he has saved.

So he swarm as first as he could to save her. He tried to find her but couldn't and the water was running so fast. He swarm and even went deep but he saw nothing. He came up to get some air as he  continued to look for her. He then turned left which was the most dangerous area because it had rocks and waves were so heavy; he prayed to all the Gods of the earth to help him save her and God willingly he did get to her but was lifeless. He caught her and brought her to the shores and tried walking her up. He tried CPR but nothing and he couldn't even hear her heart beat. So tried so heard but it wasn't working. He couldn't believe what was happening. The worst thing is that he was far from the place they fell off from and didn't  have his phone to call an ambulance. He called for help and luckily for him there were people who helped them get to the hospital.

At first, he was ready to give up and accept that maybe she's dead but when he stared at her face for long he realized that she seemed familiar though couldn't remember where exactly he knew her from. He thought maybe he knew her from his sister hence he called for help.

On the side, Shiv and Andy become worried because it was late and they weren't seeing him or getting a call from him.

"What should we do?, it's late. We need to inform the police as soon as possible" Andy said worriedly.

"What are we gonna tell them? That our friend fell into the water and we didn't tell them immediately?"

"Yes,what's wrong with that?"

"They will arrest us?"

"For what?"

"Dont you see the danger in this?, we let someone go into that water even though it's not allowed"
