The day had physically and mentally exhausted her. The backlog of emotions was too much to handle.Ira was absentmindedly staring out of the window when she found out a mild voice.
"Did she wake up?" Reeya asked the nurse out of the ward.
"Yes."
Ira slept and ducked in the sheets in next instant. Pretending to be still unconscious, she closed her eyes.
The girl saw Ira well, and her heart gave rise to a feeling of concern. She exited the ward when she found her asleep.
On the other hand, Ira wished to be alone. This moment she can"t face her.
Reeya, Thank you for being alive.
Thank you for saving him in the prior life. The words in her mind couldn"t reach her lips.
She was guilty…
Yes, she had been selfish. Selfish when it came to her man.

"Ira." She caught 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; it was out of battery.
Those words had made her tremble.
How could it be?
The man is ... Her Viv?!
In the movie, the guy who was trapped uttered the same sentence. She remembered because she cried hearing them. Even at the time before death, he merely wanted to listen to his wife"s voice. He only wished for her wellbeing.
Time seems to have slowed down when she realized it. She heard the ambulance siren from the mobile speaker at the same time it pa.s.sed by her, the paramedics screaming, "Get him out." Ira caught that too.
No, not possible. She shook her head and roared at her phone. "Where are you?" The black dead screen gave no response.
Why are you here? Her legs were shaking, she bit her lip and decided.
Will he die?
She got none of the calls past life.
Or did you ignore it as well? His words would have fallen on deaf ears.
How could you be so ignorant?
No, that"s not her now. It"s past Ira. Not me…
The past can"t change!
Things should go as last life!
She clenched her fist and opened the car lock and let Reeya out. She let her go.
Save him… she pleaded.
Torn in pieces, she made a selfish decision.
If only she could swap her life for his, she would right away. But now, she needed Reeya!
Ira wouldn"t take a risk with his life. The uncertainty made her cower in fear.
She endangered the life of the girl who saved her husband once in exchange for hers.
But she held no regrets over her actions.
His existence is in crisis.
Without him, she would lose everything.
What"s life without you
Yes, this is selfishness.
With your name, I live, with your name I die.
-------
Only when she heard the door closed, Ira opened her eyes. Reeya was saved and alive.
That"s enough. I don"t deserve friends.h.i.+p.
