It’s all just fun, adventure, affection and sacrifice between three of us since 18years.
But now something called Love and Jealous have topped our priority list. Nick tried to steal her heart in his American style and attitude and I tried to win her heart in my Indian style and gratitude. Today It’s been fourteen days now, but she didn't open her eyes yet. Neurosurgeon said that, she might be out of her trance any moment but not sure of her memory, since she had a major head injury there are chances of amnesia too. Everyone there, who knew her got into extreme shock and doomed. None of us know, what to say or how to react, to what doctor has just said ‘Amnesia’. I’m an Indian boy, I don’t feel ashamed and regret to show my feelings through tears and then I slowly turned my desi water fountain balls to look at Nick’s face, I could spot his forehead nerves popping out, jaw bones crushing each other, eyes almost sealed but just a teeny drop of tear silently sliding down his red tight cheek exposed his pain.
Suddenly he looked straight into my eyes, I know that right now both of us are not thinking about who can win her love but we are thinking about the ‘CURVE', our favourite hangout spot where she was found lying numb. Was that an accident or was that a planned strike to kill her. There is only one chance left to find out the truth and only she can reveal that. Can she recollect that Blight night or does she forget her entire life or will she be completely normal and remember her 18 years of lovely friendship with me and Nick?
Was that a Curve or a Curse ?
