Are you brave enough???

Chapter 49

Everyone was shocked to hear that Bas was the attacker. Godt was furious. He grabbed him by the collar and yelled

"How dare you!!! How could you do that?"

Kimmon was shocked. He never knew that Bas could ever do such thing. Everyone stood surrounding Bas. Kimmon stepped forward and held Godt's hands. Godt glared at him and said,"Stay away from this, Kimmon. I don't want to hurt you."

"Godt, don't hurt him. Please...don't hurt him..." Kimmon said. He was afraid for Bas.

Bas was crying.

"I am sorry. I...I know that what I did was a crime...I shouldn't have...but I was so jealous. Godt was ignoring me and even mae had started to like Krist. I felt like I had lost everything. Please....forgive me...I was just angry...." Bas cried

"Angry?? Jealous?? Do you know how badly injured he was?? And you tried to damage his face? You wanted to ruin him and his career. We had almost lost...." Godt stopped when he felt Krist's hand on his arm.

Godt panicked. Krist looked shaken. Fear and panic could be seen on his face. He left Bas and hugged Krist. He comforted him and caressed his back. He felt him shiver.

"Shhh....calm down baby. It's over na...our nightmare is over now...no one can harm us now....calm down...." Godt whispered.

Krist hugged him tight. His nightmare had returned. He recalled all that happened that day. When he had gone to meet his friend's, how he met Gwen, how he was attacked in the parking.... everything. He started crying. Godt kept whispering but he couldn't hear anything.

"Godt, take him from here. He doesn't look good. I think we should call doctor." Mark said

Godt nodded. He was about to leave but Krist stopped him. He took a deep breath and tried to be calm. He smiled at Godt and said,
"I want to talk to Bas."

Godt nodded. He stood beside him and faced Bas. Bas bowed in front of Krist again.
"I am sorry, Krist. I thought that if I hurt your face, Godt would leave you and come back to me. I was so stupid. I am sorry." Bas said

"Are you truly sorry?" Krist asked

"Yes....yes I am. Now I have understood that I can't force anyone to love me. Godt was my first love and I was too obsessed with him. That was my mistake. I should have stepped back when I had the time. Now, it's too late." Bas said

"Officer Leo..." Krist called out

Leo nodded and went to stand in front of them.

"Can you do me one favour?" Krist asked

"What?" Leo asked confused. Everyone was confused as well. They just looked at Krist.

"I don't want you to arrest Bas. Could you close this case or remove it from the record's, please?" Krist asked

"What!!" Everyone shouted at once.

Kimmon looked relieved. He went and stood beside Bas and held his hands.
Bas looked at him confused.

"Are you sure?" Leo asked

Krist smiled and nodded.
"I am sure. I don't want him to be punished."

"Baby, what are you doing? How can you free him? He has to suffer..." Susan said

"Mae, he has suffered enough. Right now, his name has been damaged enough. If this comes out, his career will be finished. He would never be able to act anymore." Krist said

Bas looked at him and said,"They are right. I should be punished. I deserve all this."

"No. You just made a mistake and you are regretting it. You want to make a new start. If you get punished now, how would you do that? It will be much harder when people will know about this." Krist said
