Chapter 29: Chapter 29

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.

"Let go!" He laced his finger to mine and we both started to walk towards his car. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions but from where should I begin?

"Spit it." He said as reading my mind. I took a long breath ready to ask. Yes, I want more answers from him before starting a relationship with him.

"Harry, will you forget me when you get your memory back." I asked and I felt him hold my hand tightly. There was a small silence before he spoke. He made me look at him and shook his head.

"No, I won't forget you whatever will happen and please stay with me in case I forget... forgets you." He whispered the last part.

A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed. "I don't know how to win your heart when you get your memory, Harry." I answered him honestly.

"Please, I am sure it won't happen but by chance, if it happens, I want you to fight for me to win my heart. I know I am hard to handle but I want you in my future. Give me a promise that you don't ever leave my side." he asked.

I looked at my feet and hold my tears back. Of course, I want him too but how I'm...

"I promise you, Harry. I will never ever leave you."

He let out a long sigh which came as snow. We both continued walking until we reached his car. We hopped into his car and drove away. Hope, I took a good decision after all.

---

When we reached my room, Quinn and Kevin approached us pretending like everything was usual as always. She tried to hug me but I backed away. There is no doubt, they were well aware of what had happened earlier.

I turned towards Harry and asked, "Can I stay with you?" knowing the answer. He nodded his head while looking behind me.

We both went to his room. I changed into my pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. He has already changed into his pajamas and laid on the bed with his hand rested behind his head.

Once he noticed me, he sat on the bed and opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off knowing what he is trying to say.

"Not now, Harry. They have their own explanation. I am so tired, I want to sleep." I told him and walked towards the bed and took the pillow and bed sheet from the bed.

"What are you doing?" He asked. His perfect brows furrowed together with confusion.

"I am sleeping on the couch," I said and set the pillow on the couch.

"No, you are sleeping on the bed. I will sleep there." He offered.

I shook my head and laid on the couch not having any energy to argue with him. I closed my eyes and drifted into sleep. I heard him say something but I'm drowned already.

It feels so good. Sleeping on a comfortable bed made my body keep warm. I yawned slightly and opened my eyes and there he was sleeping peacefully in front of me on the couch.

I furrowed my brows, why he is sleeping on the couch? It was supposed to me who would sleep there, but why him.

I walked towards him and try to wake him up but when I saw his peaceful figure, I gave up and gently stroked his smooth hair, letting him have his peaceful sleep.

There is no doubt he would have switched our place when I was in my deep sleep.

I opened the curtain and glanced outside the window. We are on the 15th floor and the view from here is breathtaking.

When I mesmerized by the beauty of the city from the window, I didn't notice a hand wrapping around my waist until he rested his head on the crook of my neck behind me.

I shivered from his touch but stayed there. His faint breath caressed my bare neck and I welcomed the comfort warm from him.

"Good Morning, Love!!" He greeted in a hushed tone as the moment felt we started our love a year ago. I smiled and turned around.

"Good Morning, Handsome!!"

He gave me a smile and pecked my cheeks. "Okay, I'm going to take a shower, do you want to join with me?" he asked raising his one eyebrow.

"Yeah! I would like to but my dresses are still there."

He looked at me amusingly then it hit my head like a thunderstorm. "Harry!!" I shrieked. He laughed richly and walked towards the closet.

"I'm sorry, just kidding." He winked at me before entering the bathroom.

My cheeks would have turned into a shade of tomato out of the embarrassment.

I sat on the bed and heard a knock on the door. I looked through the peephole and saw Kevin was standing there. I opened the door for him and he entered the room awkwardly.

'Okay, it's time to go to my room.' I told myself and walked out of the room before he could say something.

Once I entered the room, I saw Quinn who was sitting on the bed, her head had been buried between her palms. I know what is behind her state but I didn't bother to ask anything.

I'm still mad at her.

I took a 15 minutes bath and changed into my black jeans and Yellow top. I decided to wear a flat sandal and took my phone from the charger and quickly messaged Harry that I'm ready.

Today we are leaving Delhi for our next trip to Goa. We headed to the airport and seated on the flight. It took 2 hours and 50 minutes to arrive in Goa and we landed safely.

I and Harry directly went to the hotel and booked a room. This time we both shared the same room, I don't want to share a room with her at least not now.

Currently, we are on the beach which is famous in Goa. The Sun is shining brightly and we all are seated in the chair around the table, an umbrella stood proudly above our head just enough to give us protection from the sun.

No one uttered any words and the hour was bored as hell. I looked at the children who were playing on the beach and doing skating on the sea whose life is free from troubles.

I wanted to grow fast when I was in my first grade and now I wished to be a kid again where there is no worry, no trouble and more importantly no heartbroken.

I unconsciously walked towards the beach where the children are playing and stood there.

Someone coughed lightly to gain my attention and I know who it was. "Can we talk?"Kevin asked hope in his eyes. I nodded my head and he led me towards the table where we sat before but the table was empty now.

"Sheila." He called my name when we were seated on the chair. I said nothing and he took this as a cue to continue.

"I am the only child to my parents that made me feel lonely and I wished to have someone as always my side, to play with me, to fight with me, to share things with me but my luck, I haven't owned any. My childhood was so boring until I met her. She was with me in my good and bad and fulfilled all my deeds. I don't want her to be upset over a thing." He stopped a few seconds then looked at me intensively before continue.

"I know you are hurt, but we have a reason for not telling you the truth. It's his place to tell you, not us and we can't do anything about this. You have a right to being mad at us but please make it clear everything as soon as possible. She is so upset from yesterday and I can't bear to see her like this. Just do what your heart says and think about what you would do if you were in our place."

He has a point, I'm not sure what would I do if I was Quinn and Harry was my Cousin. I put my face between my palms and rested my elbow on the table. "I have no idea, Kevin. It all is new to me and confusing the hell out of my life."

"Just follow your heart, Sheila. You will get the answer you want." Kevin said and walked away leaving me to think alone.
