Sree

Vikram took my hands and pulled me to the doorway..

"Come, just try jumping", he said

I followed him, though I felt the hot blaze of the fire.

We went near the staircase.

" Will Akshara and Ajay be ok", I asked

"Yes, we have to get out now", Vikram said.

He pulled me close to him and we tried getting down the stairs..

He took his suit out and tried to put out the small flame ahead.

The whole place was filled with smoke..

I had no idea, what to do, but to follow Vikram as he said.

It seemed like eternity until we finally got out.

I started coughing..

"Are you all right? ", asked Vikram and he took my hands to check if I wasn't hurt.

There were minor burns..
I turned around and noticed the other employees looking at us, while he was still examining my hand.

Then I saw Riya glaring at me. I pulled my hand away from Vikram

" I'm fine., where is Akshara", I asked

"I'm sure Ajay will save her, he is trained for emergencies" Vikram said

"The firefighters are coming Vikram", said Natasha.

I looked at the burning building and prayed that Akshara should be safe.

In 10 minutes Ajay came out, holding Akshara in his arms. She was unconscious.
I ran to her. " Akshara!, what happened to her", I cried

"Call the ambulance fast! ", Ajay shouted at the employees.

" They are coming Ajay", Vikram said

"Ok, Sree take away her specs", Ajay said

" When will they be coming Vikram, should I give CPR, she inhaled smoke", Ajay said

"Few minutes Ajay", Vikram said

" She needs air, oxygen", Ajay said carrying her away from the building while I followed him.

He placed her on a nearby,  pavement bench..

" Can you remove the first button, on her shirt, ",  he asked me and I did

Ajay put his hand near her nose, and checked her pulse

" Her breathing is abnormal, I'll have to do CPR ", he said.

" You know how to?", I asked

"I'm trained ", he said..

He brought his palms to her chest ,interlocked them and pushed fast for the chest compressions

" I'll try mouth to mouth resuscitation, can help her breath", he said.

He tilted her neck up and came closer to her mouth

"Ajay, ambulance is here", shouted Vikram

" Great", Ajay said and carried her to the ambulance.

We went to the hospital, where she was treated.

I looked at Ajay who had a tense expression. He really cared about her.

"Thank you so much for saving her", I said to him
