Bombs were attached to the pillar, in the negative 3rd floor! Timer was set, and only 3 minutes were left! Most of the teachers were teaching the classes while some kindergarten children where playing with each other! Within minutes the building started to collapse as the pillars were getting destroyed. Glasses started to break while ground started dividing. Children of a class who were about to greet their teacher standing lost their control as the floor shook while the teacher couldn't make it up and held the door, making herself stable and slowly reached by grabbing everything she could for control, for children who were holding benches to stand still! Situation seemed to be the same in every class and the children in the kindergarten started crying, not knowing what to do while teachers panicked! Slowly cracks appeared on the ceilings, making everyone panic even more! Without thinking much, elders, staff, and teachers, started sending children out of the building as soon as they can while the collapsing building just made it hard for them! Cries spread all over.
-2B-
Every child was getting out of the class room with the help of the class teacher, but a girl was stuck, her shoes stuck in the bench making her unable to move, she started crying, but unfortunately the teacher left not noticing her, and the cracks on the ceiling just made her worse as she started suffocating now in fear! She called out for her mother, but as soon as she called, sounds of cracking increased and roof just fell on her. Within a second the girl was buried under those huge concrete broken pieces!
Everyone were getting out while a class was still messy, children all running around in fear, due to the pillar collapsing on the other side of the building made the building collapse half the side, bending on the other, making the people inside the class slide to left, many of the children fell out of the window, and one boy just fell hard on a parked car, and died instantly. Blood seeped out of his head turning the white car roof red! And seconds it took, the building collapsed wholly! Smoke and dust arose!
A small hand was visible from the fallen pieces and slabs of the building!
************
"What did you....see?" he asked resting his hand on hers gently to calm her down, as she now looked up at him with her teary eyes, and just that touch made him see everything that she saw! He soon withdrew his hand as now it reached up his head, he held his forehead as his head throbbed in pain, cause of what he saw! This is what happened with him everytime he saw something more than he could, a severe headache! It pained like hell!
On the other way, Tara couldn't understand what was happening with him, and probably she tried to remember what had he asked coming out of her halt, so that she could say him what she saw! But her head throbbed, and her heart pained, her eyes burdening up.
Aryan who breathed heavily to calm himself down, soon noticed that she was about to collapse! His eyes widened, when she was about to fall, he held her shoulders and shook her, as if awaking her! "Tara!!" he called out loud, her eyes blinked! He soon sprinkled few water drops over her face withdrawing his hands, and she shook her head as if not wanting to collapse! Her gaze slowly fell on him, who now held her shoulders again, grabbing all her attention! Her eyes were still burdening, he shook her again, "Listen Tara!!" he said loud, she blinked shaking her head again coming to her senses!
"I don't know what you saw...." he lied and soon a huge sound interrupted them, probably the pillar thing! They both looked the building and back to each other again, "I am assuming it to be Tara! Let me be clear! Don't give yourself the chance to blame yourself again!!" he then handed her the bottle, and motioned her to drink some water and she did so! He then tossing away the bottle, held his hand out, she looked up at him then down to his hand! "Come! Let's change it!!" he nodded determined, she looked up at him again, "Don't think!! Come on! You can save lives!!"
He sounded....confident! What if she...she shook her head and put her hand in his, "Let us try....with all that we have!!" she nodded, he smiled and pulled her up, helping her stand, and still held her hand. "Are you okay?!" he questioned making sure, she just nodded, and he entwined his fingers with hers, they both looked each other in silence for a brief moment before giving a nod to each other and turning ahead! They already can hear the sounds of panick coming out, without thinking much they rushed in! And soon as they did, they seperated from each before exchanging a glance of 'You can!!' and made their way to each side of the building! They helped as much as they could in getting people out from there. Though the cracking ground, roof and breaking glasses made it difficult, they haven't stopped, grabbing whatever they could to move further. Within minutes, they helped many to move out while the stairs seemed to be the difficulty too, most of them were out now! But situation seemed to have worsened as roofs started to collapse, Tara was glad that she could save many of the crew already, though she was feeling dizzy, feeling like she could collapse at any time, she didn't let herself do that! 'You can save lives!!' his words that didn't let her do it! And something got into her mind! The girl, the other class children who fell out of the window! Oh no! She wanted to save the girl, but that was the ground floor, without thinking much she made way up to the 3rd floor from 2nd through stairs which again seemed to be difficult!
While on the other way Aryan helped many too and now the place though was becoming more and more worse, he could see less people, he was glad that he could make it, and he also made sure no one used elevator! But suddenly something striked in him and he soon rushed, to search for class '2B', it took him few minutes and when he reached, he witnessed everyone getting out of that class, he encountered the teacher of the class, he asked her if everyone was out of it or not, the woman who did not know who he was yet answered him with a nod before taking away the children with her, but he didn't trust her, instead the lady's vision! He soon made his way to the room, but as he did, the roof started to collapse slowly, some mixtures of concrete powder falling down, making him cough, he rushed in, searching for the particular place where he saw the girl, and what, she was present! He rushed to her and tried to free her leg, but he couldn't, she cried in fear!
'Don't worry!! I will save you! Okay?!" he said with a worried smile assuring her still trying to free her leg, she still cried asking him for help, when he thought he was running out of time, he just removed her shoe, tossing the bench aside, he rushed outwards and soon the roof collapsed! The girl cried even more now, he didn't know whether it was out of fear or relief, but he sighed in relief, as he saved her! He soon went out of the building, as there were none visible inside to him anymore! But as he did, he expected to see her out, but he couldn't!! He panicked, what had happened to her!! Did she....he shook his head! He soon let the girl free and she ran to her classmates who stood there and her teacher soon crouched to check on her! He was about to enter in again but stopped when he heard a huge sound from a side and soon the building collapsed totally, smoke and dust filled the air, making everyone cough and close their eyes instinctively.
Aryan coughed and tried to locate her and know what had happened, and what was about the sound!
Tara who had reached the class she searched for, saved out many children as soon as she entered in! It was when the building started to fall sideway, making them slide, by that time all of them were out except her and the kid she saw! They both slid hitting the wall, and she soon crawled to the boy's side though she couldn't quite see much clearly. And when she did, she lifted him standing up, taking him into his arms! He cried, "Don't panick!! Sister will save you!!" she said assuring him, patting on his head gently twice while he held her tightly in fear, closing his eyes! She attempted to move out of the room but for her bad luck, the roof started falling, slowly cracks reached her, making her step back, back, back, and back until she hit the wall herself! She can't go out of the room now, there was no ground to as everything was falling apart, it will take no time for the ground she was standing on to collapse and the roof up her, on her! She was...on the edge!! She swallowed, she said she will save him! But....she shook her head! Aryan's words echoed in her ears, 'Don't give yourself the chance to blame yourself again!!'
'Let's change it!!'
She breathed, she will change it! She turned her head looking out of the window, if it takes her this to save atleast one misfortune, she wouldn't regret it! She turned ahead, taking a final breath, she closed eyes, sitting on the edge of the window, letting herself fall down!! The boy shut his eyes tight as she did the same, she let herself fall facing her back to the ground so that the boy could be safe, and soon she fell on the very same car she saw in her vision! Her head pained along with her right leg, her eyes searching for the boy who now opened his eyes slowly, realising that he was safe, and she saved him, she smiled in relief and her eyes got shut itself suddenly as she lost conscious! Blood seeped out from her head, turning the white roof of the car into red!!
