"Ok boy, Now let us start your training. You will have a lot of time as the flow of time is different here and the best part, you won't get tired as only your soul is here."
Hearing all this Aiden found it difficult to understand the character of Solaris.
"Don't try it boy. Your small brain won't be enough for it. Now meet Xavier, he is going to be your instructor." Solaris clapped and a door appeared near him and from it appeared a man.
(Athena's POV)
Ariana was sitting beside a door talking on her phone, the door had the word 'operation theater' written above it and a red light was shining near it .
"I don't know when I will be able to leave from here."
" I will tell you more when you get here."
"Ok, call me when you guys get here."
She ended the call and put it in the pocket her Panic and worry was evident in all her actions.
A man walked near her and said.
"The police will be here shortly." She looked to the side and saw the car driver.
"Mmm" she replied.
"I am Daniel and you are?" He said after sitting.
"Athena."
Daniel looked at her and saw her hands in a praying position and they were shaking.
"He is going to be fine. Didn't we find medical help immediately " He said.
"I hope so. "Ariana replied and went back to praying. In the ambulance she had heard the doctor saying head injury and internal bleeding. After that she could think only about the worst results. "What if he lost his memory, or died. Only if I had listened to sister Elizabeth, If I had been careful. Stupid rain why did it have to pour so hard. I hate the rain." the only thing she could do to stop these thoughts was praying
"Do any of you have O negative blood?" Ariana was bought out of her prayers by the nurse's question.
"Yes I have." She replied.
"Will you be fine with donating some? The patient is in immediate need of blood." The nurse who has asked the earlier question asked.
" Yes, I have no problem with it."
"Then follow me."
She took Ariana to a room not far from the operation theater. The staff there asked Ariana some questions about her health, then they asked for her ID card after verifying all these she was asked to sign a consent letter. They took some blood to conduct tests and after that she was connected to the machine for collecting blood. After 10 minutes blood was collected and she was taken to the refreshment area. There she saw Police waiting for her. They wanted her to give her statement about how the accident happened. They showed Aiden's ID to her and asked whether she had seen him before.
She felt the face was a little familiar but couldn't remember where she saw it. She concluded it to be because she had seen his face after the accident.
"No." She said,
"We have informed his family and they can reach here only by tomorrow afternoon. And we want you here when they arrive."
She nodded her head and the policeman left.
When Ariana got out of the blood donation room, she found herself squeezed between two bodies.
"Are you ok? Did you get hurt? Did they treat you to?"
Fidha asked so many questions while checking Ariana for any wounds.
"I told you I am fine? I just had some scratches and it's already taken care of."
"What happened? You didn't tell us anything over the phone."Rachel, her other friend, entered the conversation.
Athena told them the whole story and Fidha was the first one to respond after it .
"Hey, doesn't it feel like the beginning of a romance drama, a hero saving his heroine from death. Even his name is perfect ' D'Angelo ' ( means angel in Greek)." She said in excitement.
"Hai, don't talk like that. We don't know his condition." Rachel interrupted.
" He will be fine, how can the hero die at the beginning of the story and I also fe that luck is on his side "
Both Athena and Rachel said nothing as they know they can't make their friend close her mouth. But they did feel that luck was on his side. An ambulance coming at the time of the accident, immediately getting a match for one of the rarest blood groups. She could only hope for his luck to not run out.
(Maya D'Angelo POV)
Maya was in the railway station waiting for the train to come. Some time ago she got a call from the police saying her son had met with an accident and was admitted to the hospital. They told her that he is in the operation theater and asked her to come there. Since it was late at night, there was no bus for Kolin city and the direct train to Kolin city was at 7 am. Her only remaining option is to take a train halfway and another train for the remaining journey. It is going to take more time but she could reach his son sooner than waiting for the direct train. She couldn't stop her from thinking about the time when her husband got into an accident and got his legs paralyzed. It happened years ago but she still remembers those days just like yesterday and now her son also got into an accident. She was sitting there with unbearable pain in her heart praying for everything to be fine.
"Frooooong."
She heard the train's horn and got up, took her bag and got ready to enter the train.
The night had passed and now Maya was sitting in the doctor's room. She had just reached the hospital and she was informed that the operation had completed and no one would be allowed to approach him for 24 hours. She could see Aiden and things happening inside the ICU through a transparent portion of the door. Inside the room two nurses were doing various things and on the bed lay a person, covered with a green cloth till his chest, his head was covered in white clothes, an oxygen mask on his face, there was a tube connecting his palm and a glucose bottle, and wires from various machines connected to his body. Seeing her son in such a condition Maya felt like someone squishing her heart. She wanted to replace her son and make him free from such fate but the only thing she could do was look at him through a glass. After what felt like an eternity she was brought out of it by a hand on her shoulder.
She looked at the owner of the hand, which was a girl of 20 years with red hair. She couldn't see her face as she was looking down.
After some shuttering the girl finally said.
"I am sorry. It is all because of me. He saved me but … but I am sorry."
"What is your name?" Maya asked
She looked up and both her cheeks had a path made of tears. After some time she said
"Athena."
