I stand here now, because your scent still remains."
" How far do you want to go, once you leave me, that you begged me to let you go?"
"You are my child", "you are a whistle"...
Ava sang along with her headphones plugged in her ears with sun-shaded glasses in her eyes to complement her look, although it was actually summer, as she traveled on a bus with other passengers.
Honey, why am I getting the chills? Am I getting sick? How could you not get sick? When you worked your fingers on the bone, cooking for no reason, and you carried that heavy food all the way here.
"Honey, what choice did I have?", you said you had no time to go out. I had to come down, and at least one meal for you. "For reasons I wanted to see your face out today, maybe because it's your birthday".
"What's the big deal?" Birthdays come every year. They both laughed heatedly... "Aren't you glad I came?"" Whatever, her husband shrugged, just Admit it honey, you are very happy because I came.
Love, "why are you suddenly acting all cutesy?" Silly love. Both husband and wife were on the road, and the husband was driving. Because of their little chat, the husband lost focus and the next thing was boom, as their car hit another car and it turned over, and it was on a bridge. Their car was hanging on the bridge pillars.
And because of this, so other cars joined in this as they tried to avoid each other and this caused a serious car accident and this was the same road Ava was traveling on. Their bus had to stop because of all the commotion on the road and people were just lying all over the roads with injuries.
Many ambulances came, trying to rush some people to hospital, while some were giving first aid treatment on the spot.
Ava Point Of View
Ava got off her bus and removed her glasses. She was very, very sad about what she had seen.
I can see how much time people have left to live; 54 years, 70 days,13 hours left. 26 years, 31 days. 40 years, 1 day. 43 years, 289 days. 38 years, 7 days. 79 years, 2 days. 26 years,12 days. 58 days, 12 hours. Ava was just working around and everyone's time was displayed to her either on their neck, cheeks, arms, and she felt so bad, because some had just very few minutes left.
She came across the couple that caused the whole accident.
Her spouse was cursing, "Darn it", this will cost a fortune to fix, honey! "Who cares about that right now?" We both almost died and made our babies orphans. I'm so mad right now, love.
"Goodness..." What is that? Love! Are you hurt? Oh no. You are bleeding!
Hey, mister. Please take a look at my wife's wound. Hey! I'm fine honey, "it's just a scratch", chill out. You are bleeding a lot, you are not okay. Darn it.
Ava worked closer to them and got a bandage from her bag. She said, wow! You must love your wife a lot. You know how dad's always doing that. They yell when they're worried as well as when they're happy. His wife smiled, and her husband said wow! Is all done? Is that it? Gosh!
But Ava was lost in the time showing on the man's cheek, 1 minute, 42 seconds left, and didn't even get what the man was asking her. Tears were almost coming out of her eyes. Ava said, "I'm worried like crazy, don't get sick". Thank you, I love you. Don't grumble, say it nicely.
Ma. " You know how he feels even if he doesn't say it, right?" Of course, I do my dear, his wife laughed. What in the world... Her husband said, and before he could complete his statement, he shouted" huh… in pain as he held his heart, what is wrong with me? Did I hit it too hard on the steering wheel?
What honey! What's wrong!? Oh! My God. Help!... Her husband was already on the floor. The wife rushes out to get a medical team, but Ava holds her back, please Ma. Just stay with him, she holds her hands and her husband hands together, and she saw the husband has few more seconds left.
Then the husband groaned in pain, "I was an idiot...and I never said it once", honey! Love! What's wrong? "Thank you...for living with me", and then give up to death. His wife shouted, what is wrong with him? No, right? Honey, stop messing with me, no honey! Wake up, please help me..... someone please help us! Help! Her wife cried bitterly.
Ava just stood and watched with tears in her eyes as she couldn't do anything. She then looked down at her hand and read her own time. My remaining time is 167 days, 3 hours, 14 minutes with 3 seconds left. She was very sad because she saw a lot of people die in her presence, just because their time was up. And she herself doesn't have much time left. She knows she will also die very soon. She had no hope.
She wished she could not have even had the eyes to see all these things or maybe another way round. There could have been a way to help herself and other people, but there was no such way, and this brought her down, because she didn't know what to do. She was not able to open up to her parents or her brother, she was always very sad and anxious about what would happen in the next minutes. This was the daily routine of her life.
But Ava wouldn't give up. I need to work and save money for my mom and brother, so when my time ends, they can have what to use and survive on when I am long gone. I have to be strong and struggle more for them.
