The Audacious Hearts

Fire and Flames

Bhatak rahi h aankh ye
Malang ang ang ang
Atak gayi hai saans uske
Sang sang sang sang

A finger covered in black gloves lined the Crown of the chair. The glove being darker than the chair and her soul being darker than the gloves.

The room was filled with her essence as if even the air was being marked by her presence.

The black heels clicked elegantly against the floor, her arms folded across her chest, as she walked in front of the screen showing CCTV footages of various parts of the hospital.

People were gushing in and out of the entrance, some were chanting prayers for their loved ones , some others were busy on various pharmacy and payment counters , while the rest being busy with their daily routine jobs.

"But bhai, dadu is still in somewhere." Anya informed in between her panting breaths.

"It's ok. I will get him . Go and call Rehan now . Go" He assured the panicking girl .

She nodded vigorously and ran outside the building.

The man again went in and escaping the falling sparks elegantly, he reached the doctor's cabin.

He opened the door but no one was there.

He looked around the cabin to spot his favourite person's wheelchair but spotted none.

Instead he saw a little kid being hidden under a bench. He quickly reached him and kneeled down.

"Hey bud come, let me help you!" He asked the little boy forwarding his hand. Horror was clearly visible on latter's face.

The boy sobbed and folded more in himself afraid of the fire and the stranger.
