He just dived into the pool and that also deliberately near me .
I need to talk to him
At least I need to try
"Andro ....I mean.....Sir...I...I...was serious when...I said ...i'll do anything for your forgiveness...please give ..me a chance"
.
.
There was silence for a minute as he kept staring at me
"Okay then jump into the pool"
He said straight without blinking an eye
He knows I can't swim
Then why is he asking me to jump into the pool..
Is he testing me?
"What happened Miss Brown? Afraid? Are we?"
I looked into his eyes to see he was dead serious
I took small steps towards the pool
This is my only chance to get forgiven
I have to do it.
With each step I took my heart beat accelerated.
When I was a few steps away from the pool I saw blue water and thought of how deep it went scared me
It is very very deep...If I jump I will die
I thought
"Come on ..this is your only chance"
Andro said leaning on the wall of the pool with his elbows resting on the edge of the pool.
I looked at him and debated what to do....my legs were shaking and I don't know if another panic attack was coming
"I......I.....am.....af... afraid...of...water...I can't..."
For a second Andro had a look of concern on his face but next I felt a strong grip on my ankle and I was pulled towards the pool
It was so sudden that I didn't even got a second to hold on my breath and as my body landed on the surface of water large amount of water entered my mouth blocking my oxygen supply.
I moved my hands frantically trying to find anything to hold onto
Hoping for anything but was met only with water.
I opened my eyes to see blue colour everywhere
My view was hazy but still through it I could see bright sunrays over me.
I tried reaching for them...moving my arms legs everything but all in vain.
All of a sudden I felt myself coming on the surface of it,I sucked little amount of oxygen I could but before I could breathe I was again pulled back into the depths of water.
Sunlight was going further and further away,
My body was sinking deeper and deeper ,
My lungs were exploding and the little amount of air that I had managed to hold till now was escaping as bubbles.
My attempt ceased from exhaustion
My eyes got heavy and as I was going to accept death a strong grip on my arm pulled me back.
