The death that brought them together

Walking together, hand in hand, with your beloved at the end of the day, is a very special feeling. After the entire day's activities busting you out, spending these beautiful, intimate moments with your Love bring a heightened feeling of relaxation. One such evening, Jimmy and Gina, after their college got over, were doing exactly that..... Holding hands, talking to each other in the sweetest ways possible(especially Gina, she is one cutester..... Her voice is so innocent and child like) and making the way to the bus stop, as slowly as possible..... Jimmy though was somewhat quiet.... A bit eccentric, Jimmy was quiet at times when he should be speaking and speaking when he should keep his mouth absolutely shut.... That day,too was no different.... But still, Gina loved him nonetheless.... and loved this absolute mismatch of his.... Well, she loved absolutely almost everything of his.... But even for Jimmy himself, he was unusally quiet.... His instincts, perhaps one of the strongest of anyone around(trust me, when he gets instinctive, he can think,be or feel anything.... past,present or future). Jimmy was feeling that something in the air was not right... Something from someplace is coming near and this thing was definately not good.... Gina felt this unsual quietness of his cuz she thought that this was a time when he would speak(the mismatch factor) and asked him what was the matter.... Jimmy himself was not sure what was happening and before he could tell her anything.....it arrived......
An open Jeep, filled with some 4-5 hotshot 20 something boys approached towards them from the opposite side of the lane..... Though the lane was narrow, they were shooting down at top acceleration..... Sensing of things coming ahead, Jimmy took Gina to the side so that the Jeep could past uninterrupted..... Sadly though for somebody else, the Jeep did interrupt, rather brought to halt its life.... A very small kitten, perhaps not more than a month old had strayed from its mother.... This little kitten totally unawares of what was coming across its way was crossing the lane..... Jimmy saw this and what was more startling of what Jimmy saw was the fact that on seeing this kitten, the Jeep's driver deliberately over sped... Perhaps no one other than Jimmy saw that at that moment that this was a deliberate action.... Only Jimmy knew...... But before anything could be done, it was too late.... The kitten's neck came crushing under the jeep's left tyre and its intestines gutted out in a flash.... This time, Jimmy wasn't the only one who saw this.... Much to Jimmy's heartache, Gina saw this[Jimmy just can't stand Gina getting upset for anything...no matter how small..... He'd rather give all his Life to see her happy than for anything else]. Gina's innocent heart couldn't take it.... On the sight of the kitten being run over, Gina clutched tightly to Jimmy, like today was the end of the world... The kitten, now with a twisted neck, left everyone around motionless for a second.....and that included even the kitten's mother.....who saw her child getting killed in front of her own eyes.... The kitten,still had some life in it.....wriggling,trying to speak[death can come so silently when you cannot speak],fighting it out till its last breath....and searching for his mother.... Gina was still holding tight to Jimmy.....Her eyes,obviously closed....The accident occurred at a time when they were the ones of all closest to the kitten..... Jimmy still could see, the kitten was fighting it out...It had been 30 very long secs and the kitten was still wanting to be alive.... It perhaps knew it was too young to leave this world and there was so much yet to explore..... For that one moment, no one can tell what overtook Jimmy's emotions and he let go off Gina and walked ahead silently towards the kitten.... Gina had absolutely no idea of what Jimmy was doing and she too stood motionless.... The kitten's mother was still there,watching her child,Jimmy saw..... He so felt, he could speak with her....Jimmy knows what it is to lose the one person you love so much....But try as he may, Jimmy couldn't....[But he did see, the mother's legs were shaking] So, he picked up the kitten..... Jimmy still remembers, the kitten was so small that it easily fit in when he picked it up with his hands..... Slightly bigger than both his palms put together.... The neck was twisted, the eyes fluttering and palpitating vigourously and it's internals all gutted out.... Gina viciously cried,"Jimmy NO!!!" But Jimmy just did not have the heart to let the kitten, now almost inanimate and lifeless to lie there, in the middle of the road.... The least he can do,he thought was take it to a corner, where it would not be disturbed till its remaining days.... So, he took it and placed it at one corner of the road, where there was some cardpaper already thrown.... He laid it there as gently as he possibly could.....but that was the best he could really do... He thought he could have done something else.....but Gina was standing there, very shocked and very scared.... Jimmy knew he had to become normal as fast as possible lest it affected Gina..... He went over to Gina and asked her,"You have water,? I want to wash my hands...." Gina, a bit taken aback by this sort of a response, took some time to gather herself. After he washed her hands though, Jimmy did not hold her hands or touch her again that day for the rest of the time they were together.... Jimmy doesn't know why he did it but he just did so[Perhaps it was the blood or perhaps it was plain guilt for not been able to do something to save the kitten]. He tried to change the topic and be a little more relaxed as if nothing had happened.... He wanted Gina to get over it as soon as possible... He just could not see her sad. Gina got back to normal pretty soon...But Jimmy could sense it in her actions that Gina,after that day, started loving him more...How, why and when it all exactly happened Jimmy still doesn't know.... But Gina, since that day, loved Jimmy from a different, much higher plane..... Their Love was destined to become truly great and an inspiration.......

until Jimmy made a mistake that made them fall apart......
