Chapter 51

"Sheila." I heard a familiar voice that made me look at his face which had broken like an eggshell. "Leave me alone, Harry. Please!" I whispered having no energy left to argue. He kneeled in front of me and touched my hand but I jerked away. I stood there abruptly and started to run across the road without thinking. "Sheila!!? Watch out..." He yelled when the truck came to my views but I crossed the road safely. But the heavy horn sound got my attention and I looked back to see Harry who was standing in the middle of the road while the truck was coming towards him, everything happened in slow-motion as the truck passed him and collided with something hard object and the object was thrown away in front of my eyes. No... * Sheila's POV: Everything happened in a slow-motion as the truck passed him and collided with something hard object and the object was thrown away in front of my eyes. He was nowhere to found that brought anxiety down my core. It is too much for one day. I admit I hate him for what he did but I don't want to get him hurt or the strand of his hair. Different types of scenarios were started to play in my mind and I feel sick. Am I okay with his death? What I am even thinking? I could rather die more than without him. He may be Harry John Brooks who was arrogant, but for me, he is still Harry, my Harry who cares a lot about me and loves to spend every second of his life with me. I want him... I heard a man voice behind the truck and I ran as fast as I could hope it would be him. When I reached the truck, I took a good look at the object which was crushed down on the road and for my luck, it was just a traffic stand. I let out a sigh of relief which I don't know how long I was holding. It's just a traffic stand that means he is safe. But where is he? A man who looked like one of the Sumo wrestlers, owner of that voice I heard earlier climbed on the truck and pulled the engine, within a second the truck drove off and I saw him standing the spot where he was a minute ago and I heard my heartbeat that I thought it won't beat again. Without wasting another second I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly afraid of losing him again. He snaked his arm around my waist and held me tightly with equal favour. I began to sob hardly on his chest and his T-Shirt got wet from my tears. He rested his head on the crook of my neck and patted my back. At that time I don't want anything, I just want to be in his arms, FOREVER. I am still not convinced of the near-accident that he would meet and I am afraid of letting him go. We both stayed silent for a moment, no one uttered any words. Am I ready to forgive him, If the incident has not happened earlier? 'No.' my heart gave me a genuine answer. We all are blinded with a bloody ego. Sometimes the decisions were taken by our ego ignoring our heart's pleading. "I... I ...I should have lost you." I cried finally finding my voice. He inhaled deeply and brought his forehead to mine and our eyes met. His deep brown eyes looked into me and we both mesmerized by each other stares. Then he let go of my waist and I felt cold all of a sudden feeling the loss of his warm comfortable touch. "Do you still love me?" Truthfully, I was taken aback by what I heard and took two steps backward. After these all happened, he has a gut to ask me a stupid question. "What a silly question, you idiot. Of course, I do." I charged towards him and started to hit his chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack and now you dared to ask me a question. What did you think, huh? I am going to let you that easily? Your life has tied to me. You are mine, only mine." I said while hitting him hard on his chest. He held both my hands and pulled me towards him. He cupped both my cheeks with his hand and his next action made me forget the whole world. He claimed my lips with him and started to kiss me like this was the last minute of our life on Earth. His kiss showed so many emotions. At first, it was gentle and passionate but when I responded to his kiss, the moment got heated and he kissed me hungrily. We both pulled away when we heard a long horn of another truck, then we realized we were standing in the middle of the road. He gently pulled me out of the road and we walked towards the bus stop where I was sat before. He once again pulled me towards his chest and snaked his hand around my waist possessively. I shook my head mentally. It has a second since I have admitted my feelings to him and he already showed his possessiveness like an Alpha male. "Thank you, Sheila. You made me the happiest man in the world. I promise you, I won't hurt you. Please give me a chance. I can't live without you. I need you." He whispered caressing my cheek by his thump which has a tears stain on it. "Harry, I gave my answer already. Whatever happens, I won't leave you. My feeling for you is true." I confessed my love to him. There is no way I'm going to hide my feelings from him. He has the full right to know, so I let him know. He gave me an award-winning smile which I returned with an equal flavor.
