Vijay's POV

"Mama" vijay called out as nidhi nodded her head with a hum. "Why this study trip all of a sudden?" He stated his dissatisfaction as we stood in the bus stop waiting for her school bus to arrive.

"Baby, why are you acting like an actual baby" she said and facepalmed herself. She went back to playing with her water bottle.

Vijay looked around to see a couple of parents holding their children waiting for the bus just like them. Sometimes he wondered if he didn't gave nidhi a good childhood by being a single parent...he pushed such thoughts aside.

Vijay looked back at nidhi whom he wanted to give everything in the world but he couldn't, he was too scared to open to the world.

"Mama, aren't parents allowed in the trip?" He asked looking at her as she sighed and looked towards him.

"Babies with beard are not allowed in this study trip" she spoke with sarcasm, who taught her?.

"And just because i call you baby you don't become an actual baby!" She finished and vijay pouted.

Vijay slowly walked up to nidhi and caressed her hair. "Mama, don't play around too much" he spoke.

"But i will!" She replied with a giggle.

"Don't put your hands outside the window" he again spoke in a low voice.

"I'll put my hands out like this!" Nidhi said and forwarded her hands infront of her.

"Mama" vijay said and lowered her hands to her sides. "I'll miss you" he said lovingly and kissed on top of her head.

"I'll miss you too!" She spoke and her eyes sparked with excitement on seeing her school bus. "The bus arrived!"

The bus came to a stop and all the parents helped their kids ride the bus. "Hi nidhi!" A boy shouted from the first row window of the bus.

"Hi kumar!" Nidhi greeted back and walked up the bus stairs. She sat on the first row seat beside kumar.

"Take care" vijay said with a wave.

"Okay" she replied.

"Don't worry uncle I'll handle it" the boy, Kumar said. Vijay gave him a glare.

"Oi, don't you dare touch her" he gave a threatening look and looked back at Nidhi. "Nidhi, go sit in the back" he said and nidhi went to sit in the third row.

"If your play around i won't spare you" he warned the poor boy.

"Sorry uncle" kumar replied as a chuckle was heard.

Vijay looked towards the direction where the chuckle came from. His eyes met yours for a split second before you turned your head away. You were sitting   near the driving seat facing the bus. Vijay's chest experienced a strange ache as you had your face turned away.

The bus started and he waved a bye to nidhi. He didn't expect to see you, more so hear your chuckle. He was avoiding you, but now you were avoiding him too.

He knew this was for the best but what could he do? Years of friendship and now this strange feeling kept him attached to you.

He rode and started his bike. He covered a little distance still feeling empty and confused before his phone rang.

"Hello?" He said over the phone after stopping his bike.

"Who? Vijay kumar?" Vijay heard the old and cranky voice of a person he didn't want to hear, the voice of minister.
"Oh didn't you die?"the minister mocked.

"Seems like you haven't cried for years"  he spoke as vijay listened with seriousness. Vijay felt exposed and felt the anger for the murders committed by the minister.

"don't worry it's time to cry bloody tears, my ears are desperate" he spoke as Vijay only listened. "don't worry when you crying I'll be calling you back" the call disconnected as Vijay's gut feeling told him something was wrong.

The moment fell silent as a crashing sound was heard, vijay looked back only to be horrified with the scene. The school bus fell down the bridge. His heart fell and with his instincts kicking he got off his bike and ran towards the bridge.

He ran remembering his daughter, his only dependable source of living. His daughter, the students and you...he was terrified of loosing everything. He still had to spend years with his daughter, he still had to clear things between you and him it couldn't end like this.

It can't.

He jumped, screaming as he fell down where the bus fell. He moved his limbs and looked around finding students and  rescuing them, more people gathered as saved the drowning children. He hugged nidhi and took her to the ambulance. His mind went blank seeing his child unconscious.

Rajendra and miss annie came there in a hurry with a worried look on their faces. "What happened?" Rajendra asked vijay.

"That- nidhi" vijay said pointing at nidhi who was being treated by the nurses and doctors. Relief washed over his face seeing his daughter conscious again.

"Kumar! My child!!" A woman screamed as Vijay's attention went to her, he remembered that name.

"I- I'll go get him" he reassured and dived into the water again only to come back minutes later with an unconscious kumar in his arms. "Kumar" he called out as the boy was treated.

 
Vijay  relaxed as kumar was conscious again, coughing water. His form loose and before he could calm himself his muscles tensed.

"Where's y/n?" Vijay asked.

"She's not here" annie said with worry as vijay looked around among the kids, he looked over and over but he couldn't find you.

"But- she was there-she" Vijay stuttered and ran towards the lake diving into it again.

Rajendra and annie shared a worried look as they could only watch from the sides.

The water was cold and dark, vijay swam upto the bus as he looked inside only to find it empty. His heart sank and he looked around the cold water. His eyes landed on your struggling form way below the bus.

His limbs were tired but he swam and eventually got near you, who was beginning to loose consciousness. He grasped you in his arms and swam out the lake.

"Sir!" Rajendra spoke as he saw vijay bringing you in his arms. The doctors took you and his heart hammered in his chest, his breath ragged with anticipation.

He can't lose you too.
