Under The Sea

Please read The White Scarf before continuing with the story.

He was taller than she had expected him to be. But a half torn up picture from her mother and the cut out articles she had of him from his breakthrough surgeries in New Zealand gave her such impressions anyway. She was enjoying the company of her father as they sat on a restaurant facing the harbor when all of a sudden she was intrigued by the color of the sea which had turned from the deep sea blue to pearly white from the sunlight. As she stared into the water, it made her breathless and she looked at her father helplessly only to find him nowhere near to her. She screamed as she faught for air and before she knew it, water was flowing into her nose and mouth, slowly drowning her further deep into the water. She wanted to let go of her struggle because the pain was getting unbearable when she saw her father smiling and waving at her from ashore. Her heart started pounding till it almost stopped and she opened her eyes, fearing death.

“Can you get me the doctor! She has been waking up screaming like this for the second time!” Angad told the nurse after she checked in on her patient.

Lima opened her eyes and felt her chest burning and stomach growling. As she looked around the place she understood that she was in an hospital with an I.V fixed to her wrist, wearing what appears to be a hospital gown.

“Are you okay?” Angad asked.

Lima had not seen the patient adjacent to her bed and felt a huge relief seeing him alive. She couldn’t however understand what had happened once she jumped into the water to save him. It almost felt like her entire brain went blank from that moment.

“I’m fine, what happened?”

“You don’t remember?”

“Hence the question, what happened!” Lima snapped as she struggled with a throbbing pain in her head now.

“I jumped into the water to get your scarf after it fell out of my hand. I don’t know why, but you jumped into the water after me and started drowning immediately. So I had to save both you and your scarf.” Angad finished.

“Why did you jump if you don’t know how to swim?” Angad asked.

“Like you said before, It’s none of your business!”

“It IS my business! You know how much difficult it is to save a person who is adamant to drown.”

“Why did you jump into the water in the first place? To get my scarf? And you expect me to believe you?”

“Oh I’m glad your usual self Is back but the police officer who came to probe believed so.”

“What? When?”

“Today morning once I woke up they took my statement. They need to speak to you too.”

“Oh no! What’s the time? I need to go. Where are my stuff?” Lima panicked.

“Relax! Even I had some important things to do. But everything can wait for now, atleast I hope so.”

“YOU! Because of you I missed out on the most important meeting of MY life today and here you are sitting and gloating over the fact that you saved me.”

“You don’t know what I’m going through with..”

“We all go through shit, at least I don’t sit in a bench in the middle of the night and cry about it!”

As she stopped talking, her head started losing balance and she slowly fell on to the bed. Lima could hear voices speaking and knew that she was being taken some place else. As she tried to open her eyes every muscle in her body was fighting not to. She slowly started forgetting where she was and fell into a deep sleep.

Lima opened her eyes and this time she was some place else. It was a hospital room instead of the ward and her blurred vision  became clear and she suddenly noticed the man standing next to her.

“Hi Lima, My name is Dr. Prabhu Menon. How are you feeling now?”

He looked much older in person compared to the photos she had seen in the magazine articles and the torn up picture she found in her mother’s closet. The man she was supposed to meet today was standing right in front of her. The man she had been waiting to meet for the past 5 years was standing in front of her asking her how she felt.
