What have I done? What should I do?
She had fallen in an abyss, struggling in fear and despair .
"Red went to rescue him . He is in the basement . " An official told the captain .
Ira rushed to the collapsed construction . An official grasped her arms, "No, get back?"
"Let me go . " She cried in arms of the man as he pulled her away .
"I have to save . . . " sullen, weak as she pleaded . She kneeled down on the rumble, her hands fell on her sides as she broke down .
Powerless and desperate she lost control over things .
Why? God, why?
Why did you even bring me in the past if I can't change it?
Time itself is a paradox . Unpredictability its weapon, turning a well-settled world in chaos .
Turn your head, and the tables turn…
What's real helplessness and desperation she knew for the first time in life .
When you can't control anything? Nothing gets resolved, and she's back to square one .
Will history repeat itself? Or like a butterfly effect create chaos to destroy everything?
Will Reeya die?
A deep dread rose in her heart .
"Don't die . . . " she uttered a soft sigh .
Her empty eyes stared at the scene . For a moment she imagined it crumble as it did in her dream .
The hand hanging on the side turned into a fist . They won't let her go in, but she had to do something . She stood and walked to the group of firefighters .
****
A few moments ago,
As the car approached the scene, Ira and Reeya saw the commotion .
From the time they left to the time they got here was only five minutes .
"Stay in the car . Don't get out . " Reeya parked the car in the corner and instructed . Now that she was already on the scene, it's better for her to assure her safety .
"Ahh . . . Reeya," Just as she reached to open the door Ira cried holding her stomach .
"What happened?" She looked distressed .
"I'm bleeding," Again then her response was as expected . She turned and asked, "Where? Are you okay?"
With firmness, she bent over and reached for the keys . In a moment the hand holding her stomach pulled the lever, she descended from the car . The next instant she slammed her door and pressed the security lock .
Perplexed by the action, Reeya looked visibly stunned . Panic seized her mind, she got concerned over Ira's security and yelled, "Don't go its dangerous . . . "
She tried to open the door to no avail . Ira's car had a lock system she had installed recently to trap her in the car and keep her away from the site .
By the time she realized what was going on, Reeya was shut in the car .
Upon facing a calm Ira, her face painted a dejected look .
Her expression changed she gasped in shock .
"Why? Ira let me out . It's not funny . " She banged the glass window, but the glass confined all her voice .
Ira turned around to avoid her hurtful appearance .
Sorry Reeya, that was the last option .
Now that Reeya was safe, she gave off a sigh of relief . Till the time the situation came under control, she decided to guard her .
She closed her eyes . Her mind ignored the ongoing screams, sirens, and upheaval .
Regardless of the troubles, she could complete her part . Now she had to wait till everything gets resolved .
Ira's phone rang . It was Vivan . He would be worried if he heard the sirens of the ambulance, she didn't dare to pick up .
Now she wished for everything to end fast . By the end of the night, she would lean against his chest listening to his heartbeat .
Yeh it kept on ringing . She picked up . Though her rational mind told her not to, she wanted to hear his voice .
She placed her hand on the mike muting the surrounding voices .
"Ira . " She heard a deep grunt .
"There is a box in the second drawer beside our bed . " After a brief pause, he continued, "I will be late today . Don't wait . Sleep early . " The phone got cut off .
Her hand trembled, she subconsciously pressed the lock and before she could realize, Reeya got out of the car .
