Rhehan took deap breaths, while Elizabeth slided on the surface gasping for air. Suddenly she looked at the car in horror. "Lilly!!!!"
They both quickly got up. While Eluzabety ran towards Lillian"s car, Rhehan ran towards his own car car.
"Miss Lodge! Step aside!" Rhehan was running towards his car"s driver seat. "Mathew take big stones and put them in front of the rear wheels. Quick!"
Elizabeth quickly stepped aside, looking horror-struck at Audi, half hanging on the clif. The car had stabalized due to the rope, but now the main problem was to bring it back on surface.
The driver quickly brought big stones, lying near the mountain and placed them in front of the rear wheels of the car.
"Ohk! I am pus.h.i.+ng the car back! Tell me immediately if it starts going ahead."
Rhehan stepped inside his car and switched on the ignition. He took deap breaths, trying to gather strength. "Oh! Lord! Please make this work! Let not the rope break!"
He pressed the reverse gear of the car and pressed the accelerator slightly. His own ferrari started moving backwards, till the rope was completely stretched. Rhehan took deap breaths again and pressed the accelerator completely. The wheels of the ferrari moved rapidy, trying to go backwards. The rope was completely stretched, making the Lillian"s Audi move backwards a little.
Rhehan peeked out of the window, the dust had covered the entire scene.
"Mathew! Fix the stones again!"
Mathew fixed the stones again closer to the wheels and signalled Rhehan. Rhehan again pressed the accelerator and wheels of the ferrari moved backwards again, taking with it the Audi too. Finally the car"s front wheels had reached the edge of the cliff and Rhehan again pressed the accelerator to make the car come backwards a little more.
Finally, the car was now completely on the road and Rhehan heaved a deep sigh of relief. He rested his head on the steering wheel, calming himself down!
Elizabeth ran towards the audi and opened Lillian"s door. Lillian came out crying and hugged Elizabeth. Both the ladies were overwhelmed and cried for a very long time, hugging each other.
"I though, I lost you Lizie."
Rhehan took out a few water bottles from the refrigerator of his car and stepped out. He opened one bottle and chugged it down in a few seconds. He walked towards the two ladies, who were hugging each other.
"Drink this! You will feel better."
The ladies looked at Rhehan and took the water bottles.
Rhehan handed over one bottle to Mathew patting his back. "Good job partner." Mathew smiled and drank the water, instantly.
"Lilly! Can I just hug him once?" Please!" Elizabeth whispered in Lillian"s ears, overwhelmed!
Tears were running down her eyes, as she looked at Rhehan.
"I think I will hug him too!" Lillian stepped ahead and walked towards Rhehan.
"Rhehan! We can"t thank you enough....I...I don"t know what to say...if you wouldn"t have been...been...here!" Tears dropped down Lillian"s eyes.
Elizabeth too came forward, looking at her little boy. "You are one fine man Rhehan! We are all so proud of you!" Elizabeth touched Rhehan head and patted it lovingly.
Though Rhehan did not feel a familiar sense of touch from Elizabeth, but there was a familiar connection which Rhehan could feel with the ladies! Specially Elizabeth.
"You too have segreen eyes." Rhehan looked at Elizabeth carefully. Though he had often seen Elizabeth in movies, but this was the first time he was looking at her in person. "Also, golden hair!?"
