Chapter 66
I inhaled deeply and set her on the chair. "Sheila, I have been to NYU to fix some problems. That's it. If I told you anything about it, you would be worried about me. That's why I didn't tell you earlier." I tried to explain my points as smoothly as I can.
She looked at me and gave me a small nod gesturing me to continue. So I explained everything to her and her mouth formed a big "O" shape when I finished.
"Harry! If she didn't then who did to us?" she asked thinking deeply searching herself for any clue.
"I have no idea, Sheila. But I can assure you that it won't happen in the future." I gave her a small peck on her forehead.
"Okay... let eat then. I am hungry."
She stood up from her place and I helped her cooking. I don't know how to cook but I'm eager to learn it for her.
Later, we bot eat our dinner peacefully. Quinn and Kevin went for an outing.
"Good night Sheila!" I dropped her in her room.
"Good night Harry!"
After saying our good night, I headed back to my bed but couldn't able to sleep. How could I get a peaceful sleep knowing the traitor is still outside still wanting my dead?
I have no idea who did to us and how I am going to find them.
I let out a long sigh and watched the ceiling until sleep consumed my whole body.

Sheila's POV:
After exchanging a warm hug to each other, I climbed inside the bus to take a seat. Harry is upset with me because he asked me to stay for at least two days but I'm not in the state to fulfill his wishes, because right now I am on my way to my hometown to enjoy the vacation.
Time fled too fast and our exam has over already. I have successfully finished my first year and I'm no longer a new student anymore. Lots of things happened within these one year.
It seemed yesterday that I bumped into Karl and faced all his bullies who revealed the truth behind his whole attitude and seek my forgiveness and now nowhere to see. And again out of nowhere Harry entered into my life and stole my heart.
Tammy, my all-time favorite funny friend who has now no time for me, facing his dad's business issues. Huh!! Life has more things on its plate. I shook my head and looked down at him.
"Don't be stubborn." I scolded him when I realized he is not going to talk to me any time soon until I would initiate the conversation. He looked at me and let out a heavy sigh.
"You know what, if I open my mouth to say something, definitely it would stay here for two more days but I know it won't happen." He shrugged his shoulder. "And I don't want to create a scene here."
I twisted my lips but said nothing. "Text me when you reach your home and don't bother to call us. We are going to NYU, not another planet." Quinn said in her amused tone.
She was referring to the incidents which happened 6 months ago when I didn't bother to call them and informed them about my one week leave.
"Yeah! Yeah! I will try." I said in a mocked tone laughing internally.
"Don't ever try." Harry's words made me turn my glance towards him. I gave him a mischievous smile and a fly kiss but he didn't catch. Ohh! My poor fly kiss.
The driver pulled the engine and started the bus. "I'm going to miss you," I said the words when the bus slowly started to move.
He clutched my hand through the window and ran towards the bus. "Call me whenever you stepped out of the bus. I want every detail of your whereabouts until you reach your home and I meant it." He said before let go of my hand.
I poked my head through the window and saw him panting hard, his hands were rested above his stomach. 'I love you.' I texted him and leaned on the seat.
Now I regret why I didn't stay with him when he asked me about it. 'I hope you will change your mind and come to me.' He texted me back following with an 'I love you too.'
I smiled and looked through the window, my mind wandered around him and his puppy face.
It's not going to be bad if I go home after two days. Isn't it? 'Yes,' my subconscious mind answered immediately.
I pressed the number to call my mom and I informed her that I can't make it tomorrow because some emergency came. She hummed in response but didn't ask further. I think she may get the clue, she is always so understanding and encouraging.
When my parents find out about my love when we were in the hospital, my dad gave me a 'We need to talk' look where my mom gave me an 'I will talk to him later' look. After that, I don't know what happened to them, but they accepted my love with one condition, the condition that we should marry according to our tradition.
I stopped the bus and stepped out immediately. I held my bag in one hand while my other was typing furiously on my phone. A grin formed on my face the thinking of seeing him again.
'Wait for me... there is a surprise for you.'
Even before I could press the send button, my phone slipped out of my hand and I felt a sharp pain behind my head.
Someone scooped me in their arms and put me over their shoulder. I tried to remain conscious but tears rolled down through my cheeks when I realized I'm falling into darkness.
My first thought before I passed out was how will he react once he came to known about his girl was missing?
