Feelings of Life Torment

episodes 18

Just at that moment, a car suddenly passed by at high speed. Some people close to him shouted, “Beware…!” But by then it was too late. With the sound of the brakes, the cracked metallic and rubber sounds echoed on the road. Leyla's body fell on the road, in an instant a shadow of panic descended around. A crowd gathered around him. Some ran forward and tried to pick up Leyla, others took out the phone and called an ambulance quickly. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived with the siren sounding. Two hardworking workers hurriedly picked up Leyla on a stretcher. Various discussions started in the crowd. Someone was saying, "There was an accident..." Someone else commented, "The situation is very bad..." John, in an unknown fear, descended from the tree trunk and proceeded towards the road. Suddenly it seemed that some danger was pulling him towards him. When he reached the crowd, people's whispers started coming to his ears. Someone was saying, "Did he commit suicide?" And others were saying, "No, no, it's an accident... died on the spot." Hearing this news, John's chest heaved. As he moved forward through the crowd, his legs seemed to move as fast as his own. Just then he saw a woman being taken in an ambulance on a stretcher. The atmosphere was shook with the crowd of people around, busy police, and the sharp sound of sirens.

Seeing the woman's clothes, John's eyes widened. In a moment his face turned pale. Then in a moment a heartbreaking scream came out of his throat.... "Layla...!" A few people looked at him at John's screams. But before anyone could say anything, the ambulance door was closed. The car started moving slowly as the siren sounded. John ran after, but by then it had gone too far. He was panting and thinking, "What should I do now?". While grasping his hair with both hands, a man from the side said, “The woman has been taken to a city hospital. His condition seems very bad." Hearing this, John did not delay for a moment. He quickly got into a taxi standing on the side of the road and said to the driver, “Daddy, hurry up. Take me to the city hospital. Please make it quick." The taxi rushed towards the hospital at high speed. John's chest trembled with fear, fear and an unknown fear. Her lips were repeatedly pronouncing a name...... “Layla… did something happen to you?” The ambulance stopped at the door of the hospital while the siren sounded. The two ward boys quickly took down the stretcher and took it to the emergency department. Doctors and nurses started running around. John stood behind, tears in his eyes, and waiting with a sigh of relief. Some of the crowd asked, "What happened?" “What is the situation?”, the others whispered in surprise. John was just fighting in his own heart. The heart was pounding, an unknown question in the head. Layla's condition is fine, John is thinking about it in the car, John tightly grabbed the handle of the car door. His hands were shaking with fear and anxiety, but his mind was saying, “I want to be by Leyla's side. I want him to live.” His light of hope, fear, and an unknown excitement embraced his heart
