Chapter 5 - Sacrifice

When I woke up from my unconscious sleep of unknown days, I looked for the mobile phone to call my beloved girlfriend. There is nobody in that room smelled like medicine where I am sleeping. I can see my phone on the table next to the IV stand.

I tried to reach there to grab it but I couldn’t. I tried to move from the bed towards the edge with the help of my legs. After tried for a long time, still I couldn’t reach it. I couldn't even move a little bit.

Suddenly a nurse came into my room to clean my injuries, saw me struggling for my phone. She handed it over to me. I was eager to call my girl " looking for phone number I saved from the paper she gave me with her address. I never call her before.

While I’m getting her number I told that nurse “Hey! I think my legs are not moving. I tried to get my phone but I couldn’t”

“Your legs?” nurse asked.

I press call button and put the phone on my ears to hear her sweet lovely voice for the first time through my phone. It’s ringing. My heart beats raised.

“Yes my legs” I replied while I raise my head to show her how I tried to move my legs.

My hands automatically pressed “END CALL” when I saw my legs. Till that time I didn’t realize that I have lost both of my legs. The legs I used to walk, run and jump. The legs I used to follow her and used to get on my knees for proposing her.

In that microsecond all hope died inside me. How can I invite her into my tragic life? That realization makes me to end the call. I switched off my phone. I am lost in a desert and nobody is there to guide me. Nobody is there to console me. I am alone now. I wish to be alone, because only family I have is my girl and I don’t need her to be part of my misery life.

How can I walk with her? How can I be on my knees for her? How can I tie our daughter’s shoe lace as I promised? How can I lift her with my arms and walk while she looking in my eyes? All my dreams become a broken crystal glass. Never could fix into perfection.

She doesn’t know how to contact me. If I didn’t reach her, she will think I’m cheater. She will blame me but will find a perfect guy to live up her perfect life. That is better than her sufferings with me.

I decided to let her go. I decided to move on. I will fix my crystal glass life but will be imperfect; I will fill it with the blood bleeding from my broken heart. I will live my life in her memories. My sacrifice is tiny while considering her suffering she will have when she became part of my life.

I am ready to sacrifice for her happiness, because I Love Her more than anything in this world.

thanks for your comments and time you spent on this.

The grammar needs fixing in places, and it could do with fewer adjectives.

[Abraham George]

point it out i need to correct those mistakes.

[Jerome Malenfant]

There are several places which are awkward and/or ungrammatical. A few of them:

"When I wake up from my unconscious sleep of unknown days, I looked for the mobile phone to call my beloved girlfriend."
"wake up" is present tense but "looked" is past; they should be in the same tense. This disagreement of tenses occurs in several places in the story.
"unconscious sleep" is redundant; just say '"sleep" or "being unconscious" or something.
"beloved girlfriend"; unnecessary adjective.

"medicine smelled room"; ungrammatical, "room that smelled of medicine"

"After a longtime tried, still I couldn’t reach. I am not moving a little bit." Awkward; "After trying several times, I still couldn't reach it. I couldn't move even a little bit." Or "I couldn't even move a little bit", or "I couldn't move at all."

[Abraham George]

thanks for pointing out my mistakes.

[Abraham George]
