The incident
#WritcoStoryPrompt9
The cry was faint but I heard loud and clear it as I walked past the dark bushes. My steps faltered. It was late and I wasn’t sure if it was a smart thing to stop and inspect the source. Many thoughts were clinging in my mind. Alas I heard some footsteps and hid behind the bush.
It was a dark forest and a dark night. Far from that place was a bunglow.
I saw two boys holding a girl by her arms. The girl was crying. Her face had certain mixed expressions of fear, terror, and anger and guilt also.
My mind got wicked and my legs seemed paralysed.
The first thought hit me was to go and help the girl.
Then I saw another boy holding the bear bottle in his hand and his one hand was bleeding.
"For her safety may be the girl hit him hard." I thought.
The same time my mind worked and I ran from there. May be someone heard me running but no one followed.
Running as fast as I could I reached to the main road.
"Yes!" I exclaimed. Hurriedly I returned back and asked the boys to leave her. They made fun of me at first and at last we fought. I lose and was lying faint on ground. My head was bleeding. I don't know what happened after that. What all I remember was the girl was beside me, crying.
When I opened my eyes I was in the hospital and the girl was again with me. I asked him,"Were you saved?" She said smilingly,"Yes." And thanked me.
She told me the incident that the police came on time and he and she was saved.
I remembered, reaching the main road I called the police and sent my location. That is how we were saved.
That girl is now my wife and it's been 25 years for us being together. And 27 years since we met for the first time.
