REUNITE - a short story

From being separated to together again

Amayra was walking through the roadside when her eyes caught a young girl sitting in the middle of the road, it looks like she was trying to help a kitten whose leg is stuck in the gutter lid. The girl somehow saved the kitten but didn't realise a car moving towards her but Amayra saw that and before it could hit her, she pulled her by her hand towards herself due to which her left leg got injured.
"Are you okay?"
Amayra asked her, being concerned. Just when her eyes fell on her wounded leg.
"Oh noo! You're injured. Come sit down here. I'll do your first aid."
She said and took here holding her hand and they sat together.
"I'm fine, it's just a small cut moreover I live just minutes away from here. So you don't have to do it."
The girl pleaded.
"I've to do it now or else it'll get affected. Now sit quietly!"
She ordered and the girl sat quietly.
"You keep a first aid kit with yourself all the time?"
The girl asked, gazing at the box then at her.
"Yes I do because I'm a doctor."
She replied.
"Wow! You know I've also dreamt of becoming a doctor."
She said with excitement.
"That's really nice, I hope you become one. Look I did your bandage."
Amayra said and looked up at her only to find her staring at her being emotional.
"What are you looking for in me dear?"
She asked and sat beside her.
"I saw a glimpse of my mother in you!"
She uttered smiling softly at her. Amayra felt her heart ache.
"I lost my mother in a plane crash 14 years ago."
She said, lowering her gaze and paused for a sec.
"Tomorrow will be my 15th birthday without her."
She completed her sentence.
"But now I want you to come my home tomorrow. In a very short time of period, I've felt a special connection with you I longed for so long! Please don't deny.."
She requested.
"Okay! Just for your happiness, I'd surely come. But before that, you promise that you'll cross the road safely from now on and would take care of yourself!"
The girl smiled broadly.
"Yes I'll and thank you!"
She said and hugged Amayra tightly so did she. As they got apart, girl's phone buzzed.
"It's my pops- I meant my dad. I call him pops!"
She said giggling and Amayra giggled back.
"Yes pops, I'm on my way!!"
She said and hung up.
"You give me your contact number, I'll message you my address so that you come tomorrow!"
She said and they exchanged their numbers and bid each other a good bye before leaving for their respective homes.

"What happened to your leg? Are you hurt alot?? I have told you so many times Mayra to be careful but you never listen to me!! If Amu was here than she woul-"
Neil stopped in the mid sentence wherein he mentioned his beloved wife.
"Pops!!"
Mayra ran over him and hugged him not wanting to see him breaking down again.
"You know, a lady saved me from getting hit by a car and she even did my bandage. She was very sweet, I have called her tomorrow to be present in my birthday and you'd also meet her."
She said and smiled.
"You did better. May God bless her! From now on, you won't go out without the driver uncle! Got it?"
He asked, maintaining his angry face.
"As you say my angry pops!"
Mayra said and he smiled at her.
"Now go and study, after that we'll go for your shopping!"
He demanded and she hugged him in excitement and left for her room.

Neil stepped into Mayra's room only to find her sleeping on the bed with her books opened.
"Huff! This girl!!"
He placed those books on the study table. Before he leaves, he caught her phone buzzing. He picked it up and the caller's name was 'super woman.' He chuckled and understood it's the exact woman who saved her. He thought of waking her up to attend the call but her sleep was as deep as the Pacific Ocean so he received it anyways. He left her room and stepped out.
"Hello!"

° ° ° ° ° ° °
I think of calling Mayra to ask her about her favourite things which I could gift her tomorrow as because I'm a boring person and don't have any idea about what should be gifted to a teenage girl. I expected Mayra to be on the other side of the call but I was dumbfounded when I heard that voice. The voice was familiar, it's his voice.. but how's it possible!
"Hello, are you listening to me?"
The voice came again and this time, I got sure it's him.
"Neil?"
I asked in my low voice.
I heard her voice I longed for past 14 years. It's Amayra, my wife, my everything!
"Amayra.."
My voice came as a mere whisper.
"Yes Neil.. This- this is your Amayra!"
She said, her voice filled with happiness.
"Where are you my love? Tell me I'm - I'm coming to you!"
He asked, his voice filled with enthusiasm and happiness.

Years later when they're in front of each other, still having the same affection and love. Their eyes teared up. Taking slow steps towards each other, they stopped when they're close enough. Neil's hand reached over her and he touched her cheek, caressing it softly. They remained in that position for a little while, gazing at each other's eyes.
"I had never imagined I'd meet you in this way!"
He finally broke the silence.
"Neither I had.."
And they entangled in each other's arms.
"I can't describe how happy and lucky I'm feeling right now.."
Amayra expressed her joy.
"Me too my love!!! You know Mayra had saved your contact number as super woman, although she is right!"
He said feeling proud of his daughter and wife.
"What? Really.. now she had said then there would be chances of me being her super woman!"
She said, giggling and he chuckled softly.
"You named her after me?"
She asked when she noticed what he called her.
"Yes, I remember the promise I made to you that if we had a daughter, we would name her after you."
He said, a smile tugged at his lips.
"I thought you'd forget the promise.."
He held her hands.
"I can never forget anything related to you and Amayra."
He said and leaned towards her face, trying to steal a kiss. But she stopped him saying,
"We should go home, Mayra is waiting!"
She said and he sighed before stepping back. But she was fast enough to capture his lips with hers.
