Chapter 33: Waiting

Karan

And at the time, I don't know, neither was I able to figure out who was more stupid Adah or me...Definitely both of us at some point. Me for giving her such an idiotic yet dangerous task and She who even got ready to do it, with a bit of hesitation and slight fear on her face which was reasonable.

"Are you sure?" I asked, calmly yet amused.

She gulped the saliva, staring at the ocean before it turned towards me, "I-I will jump." She says, hastily.

"Go ahead," I indicated to her to do it. She looked at me with the hope that I will stop her or something and when she didn't find that in me, she turned around towards the railing of the bridge.

"I will jump!" She told me.

I chuckled silently. I know I am too bad but I can't deny I am enjoying this too much. She slowly lifts her feet from the ground, preparing herself for the jump.

"Waiting!" I replied, sensing the panic in her body with every minute passing by.

"Fine!" She responded, jumping into the ocean, I began to walk in her direction after I heard the water splash.

"This girl...has managed to win my heart," I mumbled, taking my shoes and watch off from me as I jumped into the cold ocean, diving in, holding my breath, I went a bit more inside when I saw Adah's body was going down, it wasn't struggling to come up, maybe she was just letting body drown, not knowing what else she can do. But I need to get her out of here before she goes too deep into the darkness, blocking my view and chance to save her in time.

As I came near her, I extended my arms, grabbing her close to me by her hands as I swim back upwards.

"Ahh...Ahhhh, Ahem, Ahem," We both breathed out as soon as our face came out of the cold water.

"Ahem, Karan sa?" She breaths in confusion.

"Are you okay?" This is the first thing I asked, and since now her safety is my priority.

"I am, I guess, but are we alive?" She asks, coughing.

"Yes, we are," I told her, smiling and in return, something unexpected happened. She. Slapped. Me. Hard on my face.

"First, you told me to jump and then you jump too to save me, what if you would have died? Huh? I would have never forgiven myself if anything had happened to you." She finished, angrily.

My eyes widened on her words, Is this girl serious? If I were a minute late she would be the one to die and still, she is thinking about me.

Wait...It was supposed to be my line!

"But if I haven't come to save you, you must have been drowned by now, " I said, in a matter-of-fact manner as I wiped the water off me with the help of my palms.

"So what? You haven't done any favor on me, you are the one who ordered me to do it in the first place!" She shrieks at me. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, my fault, let's go now," I said when she stopped me.

"Wait, first tell me, did I won your trust?" She asked, innocently, gazing at me for an answer.

I chuckled, "Yes, you did." You won something more than just my trust. I said in my mind.

"Wait,"

"Now what?"

"Now, tell me everything!"

"Yes, but do want to know everything here, in the water?"

She nods her head, "Yeah, I am not coming out until I know whatever you're hiding from me."

"Come on, Don't act like a child! The water is getting more cold and cold, " I said, already feeling I caught the flu.

She rolls her eyes, "No, but if you are feeling like this, then you can go leaving me here."

"Okay, " I said, leaving her for a moment, she was trembling to stay on top of the water and ended up she came more closer to me almost her face was almost near me.

"What are you doing, Karan sa?!" She questioned, putting her hand around my shoulder for support.

"Leaving you as you wished."

"I hate you, I just randomly said this and you take it seriously!"

"Hate me as much as you want now, come with me." And we both swim back to the land as we reached towards the car, I covered Adah with the extra pair of jacket that I always put in the car of in case.
