The road not taken

She got off from her bed with a bang. Very soon she rushed to the washroom and washed her face having a quick bath she came out looked at the clock which had struck 11 AM. She rushed to the door and walked of the house. It was D' day for her. The day, which could change everything. A day that could not be missed.She caught a 11:45 Chandni Chowk metro from Noida City Centre station. Jousting her way out she managed to board the ladies coach. She just caught her breath and pulling out her Nokia 1100 and  she made a call to her boss:

Hello Sir,
Yes Shaina, don't you think you are too early?
Sir just give me 5 minutes and I'll be there in 10 minutes. It has been a rough morning.
Shaina,do you  really think I care?

But i am sorry to say you are late and my client has already arrived and I cannot keep him waiting just because it has been a rough morning for you.
But sir...

Sir I have almost reached Just 10 minutes.
Ok
______________beeeeeeppppppppppppp
and the call was disconnected.

As she rushed to the office she thought about the terrible dream she woke up with this morning. Her face was full of terror. She quickly got back to normal and rushed as she walked towards her office. She saw something she did not want to. She saw a kids hand stuck in the bicycle chain. It was around a three year old abandoned child who looking very dark and dirty due to staying on the street. He had been trying to get out his stuck hand from the chain but it was tangled in the iron chain his mouth wide open eyes pouring out and the shriek noise is all that could be heard as the red liquid just flew out and out around him.

It was a busy day when every person was rushing in a busy city and this noise was being unheard by the loud train horns and the work that continued everywhere. She had exactly 5 minutes to save my job and grab that opportunity. But my conscience was stopping me. She was scared...scared of maybe because of what she had dreamt that morning. Unfortunately, it was the same one. Or maybe a worse one.

She had made up her mind by now. She rushed and quickly entangled the kids hand from that iron chain. Right after that with some knowledge of that place she took her to the nearby hospital and got her treatment done. With whatever money she was left with she managed to get her treated at the cost of her job and the opportunity that awaited. After the kid was treated she breathed a sigh of relief and after leaving her to an orphan age. she now boarded the 11PM new delhi slow and headed back home.
There was a sense of despair but there was a sense of satisfaction as well and of course no guilt for future.
