Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

It just only took Myla three seconds, to pierce Taylan's eardrum.

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Ahhhh!! Taylan help me!!!!'

She frantically bellowed, as she was lopsided on the roof. Tears started emerging and her breathing quickened as defenceless Taylan attempted to to being her torso on the roof.

'Myla! Please stop panicking. You only making it worse!'

'Well I can't. You are not the one hanging on the side of a train . Now get me up!'

'Well I would, if you actually tried to assist by pulling yourself towards me.'

'How do I do that? What part of I'm hanging on the side of the train don't you understand?'

'Well not with that attitude. Try pulling yourself upwards.'

' I can't! '

'Myla did you even attempt what I just said ?'

Asked an agitated Taylan.

'Yes...no. I told you I can't!'

'You can't or you just won't?'

'Obiviously because I can't !'

'Well you can suit yourself and enjoy the view.'

Myla's eyes became wide as saucers and her mouth became agap as realisation dawned on her.

'Taylan! What do you mean?'

'You know exactly what I mean . Bye.'

' Taylan! Taylan! Taylan! Taylan! Get back here!'

She went on for a good two minutes , with sobs and guilt trips in between and than she finally gave in. She began pulling herself upwards and actually succeeded in her first attempt. The look she gave Taylan when she was finally back at the roof, but it went in vain as Taylan was too preoccupied with the view to even notice that she had made it on the roof. That's when she decided to let her emotions take the reins and pounced on Taylan.

'What are you doing ?! Get off me....you crazy!'

'No!'

'No?! Why?! Why?!'

'Well, because you left me to die!'

'To die how?!'

'What do you mean how?!'

'You here aren't you! So how did I leave you for death?!'

'Stop fighting back!'

'Myla ! Dude, what do you expect me to do when you just jumped me?! Huh?!'

'To apologize you airhead!'

'Apologize for what ?!'

'Justtt.....aaapologoise!'

'No!'

Than a sharp scream pierced the air. Myla lost her grip and her face asymmetrically smashed into Taylan's face, causing the both of them to instantly retract any contact from one another and recoil in utter disgust before going at it again.

'Look what you did!' Commenced Taylan.

'What I did ?! Itsss....YOU!It's all because of you and your stupid face!'

Taylan released a soft chuckle that was accompanied by an eye roll and a piece of his mind.

'Me! Are you seriously going to blame for this?! Go on Myla! Blame the very same person who is doing each and every single doable thing on this planet to save you ! But NO! Little Miss Myla wants to put all the blame on that very same person! ME! ME! Myla! Not this goddamn train! Oh no not your goddamn stuborn choices ! Not this corrupt system! But ME! Taylan! Why! What have I don't to you!'

A stray tear made its way down Myla's check and she disposed of it as soome as it had appeared.

'ANSWER ME! Answer me Myla! The least that I deserve is a lane excuse!'

'Well I don't have one okay! I'm sorry. It's just that this is all just too much . I only have a few more hours before I succumb to my death. How do you think I feel. Do you think I would be in the right state of mind?!'

'But atleast work with me here okay. This thing of you of pushing me away is not on. I ma here to help you Myla. Please understand that. The better you cooperate with me the better for you . Okay?!'

'Okay.' Myla aggreed as she pulled herself together and stifled her last sob.

'Okay. So what now?'

'Just follow my lead and listen to me okay. As hard as that is , but please just trust me.'

'Okay. I will try '

An hour of silence blanketed them before Taylan broke it.

'Hey. Listen.'

'What?'

'I need you to gather all the things you need . We are about to reach out destination.'

'But...'

'But what?!'

'We are still in the middle of nowhere.'

Taylan burst out laughing.

'Myla! Did you seriously anticipate that we would be getting off some train station or something?'

Myla looked down in confusion.

'Well, yes! Where else could we possibly get any assistance?'

'Well sorry to burst your bubble ,but we will get no assistance from those people okay. We are going to get off when I tell you , okay? Got it ?'

'Yea. I got it.'

Myla busied herself with getting all of her belongs together and ready to pick up for when they abandon the roof of the train.

'Are you done?'

Came Taylan's voice from behind.

'Yeah...yes.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes! I am sure.' Replied Myla with an eye roll.

'Just making sure. We can't exactly get back on to retrieve something now can we. It's now or never. What's done is done...'

'I GET IT! OKAY!' Chimed in Myla, before Taylan could finish what he was saying.

Taylan urgently scurried to the edge of the train and called Myla.She scurried over to where Taylan was and they stood shoulder to shoulder.

'This is our moment of truth.'

'Okay.'

During that, precise moment , Taylan and Myla held each other's hands. Their grip on each other was as tight as can one be when they are desperate. It's the kind of grip one grips life when is on the verge of being repossessed from ones arsenal.

'In three.'

'Okay.'

'Here we go.'

Myla took a deep breath in as her signal to Taylan.He too did the same. They both took one last ,firm grip on each other's hands.

'In three , two,....

'ONE!'
