The Connection (Part 1)

This is about a bond that is beyond everything-it is about 2 people who are connected by love unparalleled. (It is not a love story.)

She was not unconscious, but she was dazed. She could smell the hospital stench around her. The doctors were muttering medical jargons in hushed tones. She knew she could have understood them had she not been sick. Then she questioned herself-is this an out of body experience? But then she felt pain of something pricking in her left arm. It was the IV drip-she was alive, at least as of now! Anjali was the most beautiful patient the hospital had ever had.

She knew she will be well. She had to. But then when she was wheeled out to go to bigger hospital, she saw hordes of people gathered around her, all of them teary eyed. She had always had a lot of courage. But her heart sank. Was she alright? You are scared only when you see others scared around you, especially when it is about you. That was the first time in the day, she cried. Hers was a life well lived. But she wanted to live, and everyone wanted the same. They put her in the ambulance and the siren went off!

In Gotham City, he was having a bad day. He came home early and slept through the afternoon till the evening. It was his way of avoiding troubles. He didn’t feel right. He popped some pills and read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that he had borrowed from a friend. Normally, he would read endlessly, but today he was anxious. It was 10 pm when the eerie silent was broken by his cousin’s phone call. The cousin spoke with sharp modulations-shocked with every passing sentence. They agreed on turning off the lights early that day. The cousin hoped for no phone calls in the long night. The cousin had a secret that he had to tell and it was graver than Harry killing Dumbledore.

“Movie? Now? At 10 in the morning?” animatedly the boy asked over the phone. He told his cousin that he was going for a movie with a couple of his friends. The cousin was relieved. In the movie, he got a phone call. He couldn’t hear well. He came out and called back. All that he caught was

“She had a heart-attack!”
