Episode 19

I dived into the pool with a great thud splashing a

massive part of the water above the pool level. The coldness of the water sent shivers through my

body which made it even more better than the heat

i had felt earlier from the scorching sun. I had begun to float in the water using my legs to find my way but

in no time i had barely moved when I ran short of breath. I tried raising my head up so as to take a breath but i couldnā€™t because the water didnā€™t appear to be shallow and my legs were at the depth of the pool.

Somebody heeeeeeeelllp, i cried out while struggling to gasp for breath.

Clarā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.. Jagaaaaaaaa

Heeeeeeeelp

Arrrrrrrrrrrrghh

Those were words i could only utter as I consciously swallowed in gulps of water, wishing to get out of this problem i had gotten into.

I felt someoneā€™s hands on my waist which raised me up with my head above the water level. Waiting for no soothsayer to tell me what to do, i quickly inhaled and exhaled gasping for fresh air like someone who just ran a marathon race.

The hands holding me this time, held me tighter by the waist and gently made me swam to the other side of the pool which was shallow. I had no idea who the helper is but I was happy and relieved that I was rescued after all, i wonder what would have become of me if I had spent another minute struggle for breath.

On getting there, we brought our heads up and stood in the pool. I stared at the face of my rescuer and was surprised at who i saw but all the same

I had to show appreciation.

Thank you Clara

You are such a good swimmer, she giggled

You better thank your stars that you are still alive, if not you would have been thanking me in your grave, she said and swam away.

I heard sound of laughter coming from the other side of the pool, i stared at where jaga was seated and saw him laughing uncontrollably with red eyeballs. I just looked away and avoided his gaze.
