A Lie In Church

13 | Bleeding

Blood......

All I can see is blood over me and scattered everywhere....

Am I going to die?

But not in this way, I want to see him after I discovered his true motives.....

I can't let him be with another, I know he's still love me and I want him back....

Am I evil if I use my sickness to get his attention?

Cloud, please come back.

Cloud POV.

I woke up and prepared for our trip back to our home. All of our stuff are gathered in our new home so, it means that we will live in the same roof.

I checked Winter if she's awake and I suspected correctly. She's getting ready and I told her to wait outside.

When I'm about to open my car to get something important my phone rings. And it's a unknown caller so I expect that it's from one of our friends.

I answered the call and I was shocked when it is Nisha crying.

"What do you want?" I asked coldly. I don't want her to suffer anymore and I want her to be treated in a good hospital that can help with her disease.

"A-ack Cloud, I just want to hear your v-voice one l-last time". She said with shaking voice. I confusedly comb my hair with my hands.

"What do you mean? Stop pranking me, Nisha". I angrily said but I managed to calm myself in order to process everything.

"There's a lot of b-blood, Cloud. I'm s-scared. I think I am going to die w-without being t-treated". I walk back and forth nervously. How can't she be treated when my parents agree to treat her.

"Nisha, you're talking nonsense. My parents told me that they will pay for your expenses and everything". Suddenly a shadow behind me caught my attention. It's Winter, worry written all over her face and also nervousness?

"Your parents lied, they threatened me with their words just to make sure I'm out o-of your l-life". She said while snipping. I keep repeating a no and shaking my head. I can't believe they would do such things.

"I'll send my friend, and go get yourself check, I'll talk to my parents about it". I angrily said. They promised and assure me that everything will be alright. They are always the same, always two faces humans.

" No, p-please don't tell t-them that I told y-you. They w-will k-kill me for sure". I can't bare hearing her cry. I'm still a human and a person who loves her for a long time.

" Don't worry, I fix everything. Take care". I hung up and face Winter with her worried look.

I ask where are her luggage, I start panicking and uncontrollable anger rise up. I still cannot believe this.

Our whole trip were awkward, no one dares to talk because of what happened.

Our trip seems so long when I wanted it to be quick. I did not communicate with Winter because I don't want to put my anger on her.

"Um". Winter started a conversation. She look disbelief and uncomfortable.

I just look at her waiting for her words.

"They reach out to me, your parents". She bit her lips and tears flowing in her face.

"They said that they want to get rid of Nisha in order for us to be happy. But I did not agree, I put so much damage on Nisha and I'm aware of her disease. And I'm not that cruel to let her suffer like that. They agree with me so I was hoping that everything will be okay but after hearing your conversation with her I can't stop blaming myself". She look down looking at her feet while sniffing. I calm her and hug her tight.

"I know you're not that kind of person. And thank you for being honest but we need to act quickly. They might kill a defenseless soul". She nodded and we quickly get out of the car and get our luggageand went inside to the airport.

We arrive and thankfully our flight didn't delay so we successfully got in the airplane.

"I'm so sorry Cloud for what happened, I didn't suspect your parents that they will do such horrible things". I just smiled and hold her hand to assure her that she don't need to apologize.

"Don't apologize, we were both victims". She slowly put her head on my shoulder which I did not mind at all.

These past days we learn to be not awkward and to be comfortable together.

We landed and we immediately call my friend to ask where hospital did they go to.

Winter insisted to come along to know the status of Nisha.

After a long ride we arrive at the hospital and I ask the lobby where Nisha is.

When I open the door, Nisha is laying on the bed, lifeless. With many wires attached in her body. The sound of the machine is the only sound I can hear.

Her mom just look at me and smile weakly. I also smiled and look at Nisha again.

Nisha used to be lovely and joyful, but seeing her unconscious body in that bed make me realize that I really don't deserve her.

I heard sniffing behind me and I saw Winter crying while looking at Nisha. Then she excused herself to go to the church to pray.

I sat down beside her mom and just look at her.

Maybe if we didn't met each other, maybe she will have a wonderful life and she can be treated right away.

Maybe if I didnt refused the marriage and got my parents angry, maybe she's now healthy and smiling.

Maybe if I check up on her, maybe I will know what she's been through.

I think I failed as a boyfriend, a friend and a ex lover of Nisha. I just wanted to give her the treatment that she deserves but my parents are too self centered and not noticing what damage they did.
