[Titanic] True Love Is Eternal

The first-class cabin was completely in a hurry. When I came to the corridor, several groups of waiters knocked on the door here, and almost entered without waiting for the consent of the guests.Even if I look conspicuous in the clothes of the opposite sex, no one has the time to judge me now.

I pushed open the door of Carl's suite, and the flame in the fireplace hadn't been extinguished. Whether it was the flowers in front of the mirror, the lamp on the table, or the wine bottle on the other side of the private deck, there was no difference when I left.

Only Judy was clearing the teacups with her back to me. She was still wearing the same white apron, and she was skillfully putting the tea set on the silver plate.It seems that my words are of no use to her. She would rather come back and tidy up the house than go to the deck and be blown by the wind.

Judy turned back with the tray, startled to see me leaning against the door.

"Miss Emily, you're back." Seeing my attire, she was more horrified than seeing a deep-sea monster climb onto the boat.It seems that for a personal maid like her, having an undisciplined and wild lady like me is exhausting.

I was also very exhausted physically and mentally. From the moment I got on the boat, I didn't feel leisurely for a moment.Rumbled around all day like a broken cruise engine.

"Is Carl back?" I reached out and touched my throat, feeling dry, so I could only ask in a low voice.

Judy put the plate back on the table, and she shook her head, "No."

Where will he go?

The thought that he might have no idea what happened to the ship made my scalp tingle with nervousness.This is a critical moment of life and death, and the sooner the person gets the news, the greater the chance of survival.

My fingers felt the bruise on my neck, and the tingling made my spirit tense even more.

"The waiter came just now. He said that the captain ordered everyone to wait on the deck of the lifeboat." Judy wiped her hands on the apron. She didn't seem to know what happened, but there was some panic in her eyes , perhaps she has sensed what terrible disaster has happened to this ship. "I'm here waiting to inform you, and Miss Ruth."

"Ruth has already gone up, and you should go up quickly." I felt that the boat had begun to tilt, but of course it was not so obvious now. Only those who are sensitive or already aware of the subtle changes in the position of the hull will notice.

I was afraid that Judy wouldn't be able to listen to me, so I added a few words to explain clearly, "The ship is about to sink, and there may not be enough lifeboats. Hurry up and line up to get on the lifeboats, and go to the room to get a coat and put it on. I don't think Ruth would mind."

Basically, once the ship sinks, everything here will be reimbursed.It is said that the combined worth of the guests on this ship is as high as 5000 million US dollars, and their luggage is also worth a lot of money.

Judy turned pale from my words, but she didn't question anything, but quickly entered Ruth's room and took out a thick fur coat. She put it on her arm and said to me: "Then I'll go find Ruth. Miss Si, she didn't wear this when she went out, it's very cold outside now."

I walked in and sat down on a chair, deciding to wait here for Carl to come back.

When Judy walked out, she whispered to me: "Mr. Carl will be back soon, you can go up with me, miss. You should be the first to get on the lifeboat, Mr. Carl has bought a first-class ticket for you .”

"I'll be up soon, thank you." I smiled and said softly.With hands clasped together, elbows slowly bent into laps, I watch the clock on the mantelpiece, the scythe of time advancing.

It wasn't until Judy left that I realized that this luxurious suite with two bedrooms and a private deck was so quiet that it was almost solidified.

There's no one here except me.

The clock ran within the range of twelve o'clock. During this time, the guarantor team headed by Andrew calculated the time when the ship sank. The captain and the crew knew that the lifeboat could only save half of the people, and then they called for help by radio. Even if the boat closest to them tried their best to reach here with all their strength and turned off the hot water and heating, it would take four hours.

It's really just cold data information, and it's not necessarily all that bad.It could have been really bad, because the ship didn't slow down, proving that all my efforts were useless, so maybe the Titanic was destined to sink at the same time and with the same number of deaths as in history.

I watched the needle on the clock keep advancing, stretching time into a life-strangling long thread with a force that cannot be retreated, pulling the cruise ship down and sinking.

I don't know where Carl will go after he goes to the Chief of Picket's office, but rather than run around looking for him, I'd rather just wait here for him to come back.

he will be back.

I looked at the time on the clock. At twelve twenty, the water had risen to the top, probably even the seaman's cabin was flooded.

But the passengers who were about to board the lifeboat were still complaining endlessly in the smoking room or in the palm tree restaurant. They must not have known that many people would be finished.

I looked at the clock silently, my feet on the carpet, and my hands clasped tightly.

Carl will be back.

At [-]:[-], the first lifeboat should not have been lowered.Neither the crew nor the workers in charge of lubrication are familiar with the operation of the davits, because the lifeboat drill in the afternoon was changed to another upper-class program, which caused them to start a large-scale "drill" in a hurry when the ship sank .

My whole body was stiff, and the ringing in my ears became more and more serious. I seemed to hear the sound of the ocean tide struggling in the vortex, like the light of day turned into the fog before the god of death, surrounding me.

I know I'm waiting to die, and I shouldn't be sitting here now. The most correct thing to do is to go to the upper deck and wait to board the lifeboat. If I can't get on the lifeboat, I will basically be sentenced to death.

The last rescued people who fell into the water were 13 people, more than 500 people. It is impossible for such an unlucky person like me to be one of the thirteen lucky ones after falling into the water.

But Carl will probably come back, and I have to tell him the ship is sinking, and I'm afraid he'll be in a hurry to turn back and see no one, and he might not go to the upper deck.If we miss it here, I'm afraid...we'll miss it forever.

The passage of time on the clock is like life, and I smell that familiar smell again, the cold smell of dying.

My fingers were so cold that I couldn’t feel anything, and the blood couldn’t reach my limbs. I watched the time to survive go by before my eyes, and my instinct was urging me to escape from here and go to the top. That was my only way to survive.

45:[-]...[-]:[-]...the first lifeboat is lowered...

Carl, come back quickly.

Wait any longer and the waiter will start running to lock the door to prevent theft, and I don't even know where to find him.We've only known each other for five days, and I don't even know where the hell his family is in America.

Everything was leaning forward slowly, and even the flames in the fireplace looked like they were going to burst out.I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes were so worried that they were almost blank, and under the reflection of the light and shadow, there was a feeling of loneliness and laxity.

Finally I remembered to take a deep breath. I put my head deep in my arms, opened my eyes, and listened to the seconds passing by.It's as long as a knife cut, and as short as death.

come back quickly.I silently prayed that he would hear.

I'm here for you, Carl.

We will be together forever.

I felt like I was about to lose the strength to keep breathing. I knew I shouldn't stay here and wait to die, but the thought that Karl would come back at any time made me unable to move.

Wait another minute, maybe that guy has been notified to the upper deck, I should be able to find him up there.Now no one will come back here, the waiter will tell all the passengers to go up.If he hasn't come back after 1 minute, I will go up and look for him immediately.

I looked firmly at the clock, counting the seconds silently.A little closer, the early morning of NO.15 was so cold that people shivered.

Then I stood up and went into Carl's room again to take out a coat. I walked to the door and found that I couldn't walk without walking.If Carl hadn't been on the upper deck, would he lose his chance of survival if he got back and no one could tell him?

I looked at the clock and another minute passed by as fast as in 1D.

This dilemma was enough to drive me crazy. Before I could actually open the door and rush out, someone outside quickly opened the door and shouted anxiously: "Is there anyone here?"

I held the coat in my hand, and my face was still turned to the clock on the fireplace, looking unresponsive for a while.

"Emily?" The person who came was Andrew. He saw that I was angrily coming and dragged me out, "Why are you still here, you should get on the lifeboat, you know what happened to the boat, how dare you stay Here, hurry up to the top."

"Did everyone go up? Did you see Carl?" I staggered as he dragged me along.

"Mr. Hockley? Of course, he's already on the upper deck. I saw him in the dining room. You have to go up quickly, or you won't be able to save you with just a life jacket." Andrew lowered his voice, and the corridor was full of servicemen. The crew and a handful of passengers who were just about to be evacuated, no one yet knows how badly the ship was damaged.Neither the captain nor the designer wants to cause a riot, because more people will not be saved that way.

"He's up there?" The news immediately dispelled the anxiety that was suffocating to the point of drowning in my heart, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, everyone is on top, you can't stay here." Andrew let go of my hand, and he quickly said to a waiter passing by him, "You have to put on a life jacket...you hurry up , Emily, I still have a job."

"Aren't you going on the lifeboat?" Although he knew the answer, he still couldn't help reaching out to pull Andrew along.

"I have a job, Emily." Andrew patted my arm, and then broke free from my hand without hesitation. He continued to walk to the next room, opened the door forcefully and asked repeatedly: "Is there anyone left?" here?"

I was stunned for a while, looking at his back without looking back, then retracted my fingers that were stagnant in mid-air, clenched my fists tightly, turned around and walked to the upper deck.

Carl, I murmur softly.Wait for me, we'll be together forever.
