Those Two Minutes

I was dating him for past two months and we had numerous big and small fights. After every fight he used to be the one to apologize in the end saying he wants things to be good between us. Although we started as a casual time pass relationship, he had confessed his love for me earlier, and said that he will wait till I came up with any decision. I never thought I would love him or something like that until that day.

It was a cold December night when he invited me to have a dinner with his family. I was so confused what to wear but relied on a simple blue dress with full sleeves that reached my knees. I didn't even bothered whether he will like it or not, I didn't even bothered about much makeup or hairdo, just managed to look presentable enough to meet someone's parents with them.

I was in my car at sharp 8:30 as I knew that it will take me around 15 minutes to reach his place. I once again checked everything,

Purse done

Mobile done

Champagne for his family done.

And I ignited the engine of my car.

Everything was going peaceful, the road was empty at this time and I was driving fast while enjoying the music at high volume.

Just then I was about to pass a three lane road I saw a huge truck speeding towards my right, in a panic I moved my steering wheel to the other end but there was a huge tree in front me, I pressed the brakes hardly trying to escape the collision. But still my car bumped into the tree, my head banged on the steering and my eyes shut.

I felt everything in front of me had gone dark, I was unable to see anything and my head was hurting badly. I was ready to quit and leave myself like this, i don't care if I die, my body was not moving and my was not responding.

In that very moment, I don't know what was speaking inside of me,

"If I die, he'll be very sad."

"He told me to drive safely when I messaged him that I am leaving for his place"

"He had earlier told me that he loves me and can't see me in any trouble"

His face came in front of my eyes, he was smiling , a warm bright smile.But then all of a sudden his smile started fading, his eyes started looking baggy as tears started rolling down his eyes.

"No, I can't be a reason for such a happy going guy's sadness."

"I have to get up, he must be worried about me"

In an awe I opened my eyes and tried taking my head up from the steering, my head felt heavy and ears felt hot.

There was a constant thumping on the window of my car, I tried turning my neck to see who it was, my neck hurt practically, every part of my body hurts.

It was the truck driver, he helped me out and called the ambulance, He also took my vehicle to garage. He is the one who informed my family and my boyfriend about everything.

The same night when I was in hospital, I was thinking about all this, I realized I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT HIM BEING WORRIED FOR ME THAN ACTUALLY WORRYING ABOUT MYSELF.

Those two minutes made me realized that how precious life feels if you have someone who wants to be with you all the time, who doesn't want to see you sad and such a person provides power in tough times.You are motivated to fight every odd because you know that, that one person will be happy seeing you happy. I don't care about myself, I have always been carefree, but I wanted to be safe for him, I wanted to take care of me in his absence just like he cares for me in his presence. Yes I want to be with him, live more with him, enjoy every single moment him, I want to be happy with him.

I knew he was sitting on the bench outside my room in the hospital along with my father. The next morning I will confessed my love for him too.
