Brave Part 2
- sol 🌞
She's scared of getting wounds even when having the slightest scratch on her knee.. she would cry like a baby.
She's my girlfriend so I thought that side of her is really cute.
But months passed by, and I would get annoyed whenever she sniffs and act like a flimsy brat due to her wound.
'Why can't she act mature for just once?' I sometimes thought.
But on that day..
We went to a bank together and there was a very strange guy. He was looking a bit nervous, as if he'd do something suspicious next.
And I was right. He was in the next line just a few meters apart from me and my girlfriend when he grabbed something from his black and overly-used jacket. It was a gun.
He immediately pointed it to the cashier and demanding her to give her the money. All of us were shook by his action. No one knew how to handle this situation.
But then, the guard went up to him with a gun too but the man quickly shot him. We were horrified by it.
He then pointed the gun to all the men inside the bank including me. I noticed that his hand was shaking, so I had a guess that this was his first time. I tried calming him down for him to be unguarded. Learning self-defense for the past years, I was confident that I can pin him down at least.
But he was too nervous to listen so he yelled at me to shut up, still pointing the gun at me. I was about to continue calming him down when we all heard someone dialing on the phone.
Holy cow.
The man shot the cashier with the phone on her hand which made the room chaotic. The bank was filled with screams making the guy shoot all those who yell for help.
I had no choice but to fight him even though I'm unarmed. I pinned him down for a few minutes but he was still resisting and we were both trying to get hold of the gun.
He was too strong so he broke free and pushed me away. He then quickly grabbed the gun and pointed at me once again. Then I heard a loud bang as I closed my eyes.
I felt no pain at all..? Did I already die perhaps?
Slowly opening my eyes, I saw my girlfriend's back. I suddenly realized the situation. No!
She faced me with blood coming out of her mouth and whispers.. "I hate getting wounds, Ivan.. But if it's for you, I'd endure it." Then she falls to the floor.
I took out my coat and put it to her stomach, hoping that I can at least stop the blood loss. She can still live!
"M-Maya.." She smiled weakishly as she heard her name. "Pero t*ngina. Ang s-sakit talaga." She laughed as she joked. It seemed that she was trying to lift the atmosphere.
But I saw how she endured the pain she hated the most. A tear dripped from her eyes. I hugged her as I cried. "Maya.. please don't die on me.. Please."
"I-I'll.. try. I.. I can't handle.. the p-pain but if it's for y-you, I'll b-bear with it."
