Standing on the edge, clutching the iron rails, i stood trying to take the plunge into the iced cold water. My heart was beating so fast that i thought it was audible above the propellers.
Of course, I should do it. This is it. I can't live this life that has been so carefully and meticulously chalked out for me. Haha, yes.. my life their design. It had all the money and the security that a woman would die for. Racing fiercely ahead of me, while i powerlessly try to catch up.
Wind was beginning to howl now pushing the strands of hair into my ear and onto my face. Irritating. I was getting goose bumps not because of the thought of my impending fall, but because of the cold. At least that's what i would like to think.
I didn't notice him at first. Standing and watching me, for god damn how long. Did I just see a faint smile play on his face when i so perilously am dangling from the rails! Ignore and concentrate, tells my mind. He spoke as he removed his jacket. He was talking something about the water being cold and water pricking into the skin like knives. That caught my attention. Surely, he is exaggerating but i could feel my skin almost going through that pain. I squirmed. He held out his hand to help me. He had an easy charm and a positive aura. Hesitantly, i took it, he smelled of smoke.
We looked at each other and smiled. Yes, there is hope and another day.
