In the midst of dust and dirt, Ira"s eyes searched for a familiar face. People pushed her running away from the site while Ira rushed in the direction opposite to the crowd. Everything around was noisy and unclear.A scaffolding of the building which was under-construction had collapsed.
This was the site where Reeya had the accident.
Where are you Red.?
Please G.o.d!
Officials were trying to rescue all those who were trapped under the debris of the shed. Many people were injured carried away on stretchers. Hospital ambulance and fire trucks siren were echoing in the background.
Reeya died saving a man. He was buried in the debris of the building as well.
"We got everyone out except one." the official screamed.
"There is a man still in!"
"Red went to rescue him. He is in the bas.e.m.e.nt."
"No" Ira dashed towards the construction site after hearing this.
As she ran few steps someone caught her arms. "No, Don"t go there?"
"No, let me go?"
"I have to save her?"
"Her? Madam a man is in not a woman."
"No not the man.... He will live... Reeya the firefighter who went in to save him.."
"Please call her back. The entire building will collapse."
"It looks st.u.r.dy but it will collapse bring her out. Save her.. Let me goo.."
"No ma"am please cooperate. Let us do our jobs. "
"No no.."
Just as few moments after she managed to tear off his hands out building crumpled.
"Red..." she uttered a soft sigh.
Ira paced a few steps. Walking in wreckage and rubbles her eyes stared blankly at the site. There were stones all around. She tripped on one of them and fell on the ground. Another stone hit her abdomen.
Excruciating pain deep to her bones invaded her. Soon the ground where she lied covered in red.
"No.. my babies...."
"What did I do wrong?"
"Why was Red still in town?""
She went to her hometown, didn"t she?
Why didn"t I remember the exact date of the incident?
Ira was lamenting over the lost reason. She soon lost her conscious.
"Baby my baby...Red! I"m sorry..."
Ira woke up startled by her dream. What was the dream? It was so realistic. She touched her stomach to feel the b.u.mp.
She breathes out a sigh of relief. "Stay with me" She was in contemplating over the reason for her dream. The ones she got which were so realistic and vivid mostly point to something.
What did this one point to?
Scarring her out of wits she did not notice when Viv entered and saw her.
"Ira lets go out today. Get ready." Vivan opened the door of the bedroom and said to Ira.
"I"ll come." her voice was soft almost inaudible.
"Ira what"s wrong with you, your eyes are red, Crying? What happened?" Vivan held her shoulders and asked. His voice was full of worry and concern.
She touched her face to find it wet with tears. Did she cry while dreaming?
"Viv, I am fine. Just... she died. " Ira said. as she pointed to the TV screen.
"Who died?"
"She died." Ira pointed to the television which was fortunately on.
"Hmm.." Did she cry after watching some sad drama?
When he glanced at the television he was more confused.
"But it"s news."
The TV that was broadcasting today"s news.
How can she be sad after watching the news? It"s weird.
When she glanced at confused Vivan, Ira snorted "The turtle, he died at the age of 200. She was so cute" She made a random excuse not wis.h.i.+ng Vivan to worry about small things.
