Chapter 10: I am still ALIVE

Moirai’s POV

Something is hurting my back. It’s painful.

I tried opening my eyes. My hand, ahhh, it’s paining even worse. What had happened?! I remember I saw a very bright light coming towards my cab and ...

My eyes flew open. It was dark. I was still in the Cab. Driver was not here. Windows are all shattered. Broken glass pieces  pierced my left hand. The cab is now upside down. I tried moving my legs but it hurt.

 I have to get out!

What time is it?

My phone started ringing. Thank God! I located my phone from the light it emitted. It was all covered with broken glass. I took my phone. Before I could pick up the call it was disconnected. I saw

“12 Missed Calls : Mums”

 It was 11:38.

I left from the wedding at around 10.

Fuck!

One had been one and half hour I was here. Should I call Mom and tell I was here? Wait a minute! Where am I exactly? The only way I can find that out is by getting of this crap now.

I was surrounded by broken glass, metals everywhere. Every time I moved, it hurt.

I tried dragging myself from the broken window, there was no other way out. Glass pieces crushed in my hand, my stomach almost everywhere.

I wanted to scream! But nothing escaped my mouth.

Get out of here! Get out of here!

 I kept repeating this in my head.

I got out finally with an excruciating pain. I couldn’t see anything that would indicate where I was.

I can’t call my mom as say I met with an accident and I don’t know where I am! She would get damn worried. I was still sitting on the road. I stood up with great difficulty. I saw there was some undercontruction site to my right. On the left, I saw the Cab I was in. It was crushed at the side where it was hit. Some huge vehicle had hit the cab. I was lucky. Very lucky, to have survived that. I saw the time it was11:44 now.

I scanned every direction and I found a very dim red light! I started walking towards it. As soon as I found out where I was I’d call my mom, I decided. I kept walking. I felt a cold breeze on my back. I touched my back, it was sticky. My fingers were painted red of blood from my back. My kurti covering my back was all torn.

I was in a much bigger mess than I thought. That red light turned to be a red plus That had to be a clinic or hospital. There will be a doctor. I knew the difference between red plus and green plus. A medical store has green one. It wasn’t a medical store and the distance was very less now.

My feet ached.

Keep on Moving, I ordered myself.

Hospital that was! Lucky again!

But dragging my legs was difficult task. I, somehow, reached there. I tried pushing the door with all the strength and I fell inside. The nurse at reception saw me, I saw her running towards me. And, everything was black again.

I heard my mom. I could not understand what she said but it was her voice. I could hear her soft sobs.

I tried opening my eyes. I slowly open my eyes. But, I couldn’t. Light coming in from the window hurt my eyes. I tried again. This time it did not hurt as much as it hurt the last time. I saw my mom smile. She had worn the same sari she wore at marriage. It was bright outside that means it was day time! My mom was here the whole night! She hadn’t changed and her red eyes indicated she cried all night.

How did she find me? I had passed out without informing her, I recalled.

“Mumma, how did you, umm, find where I was?”, I asked.

 I tried calling you 13th time when the nurse picked it up. She explained everything and I came here with your Dad.”

“The accident..”, my voice trailed off.

My mom took my hand and caressed it. “It’s over”, she said softly.

I was in a special ward because I was alone in the room. I was wearing the hospital robe. It was dull greyish-blue.

With a sudden thud, I heard the door open.

He was here.

Leo.
