LADY SATANS

part 63

But he fell........he fell on his knees grabbing everyone's attention. And for the very first time Taehyung's heart skipped a beat .......a whole damn beat. Suga was on his knees ? The person known to have a cold heart ? He didn't even flinch when Jimin once got shot ! And now he was on his knees staring the floor. His face was not emotionless for the very first time. And while everyone held their breath ,he started crying. That was the limit ......suga was crying ? On his knees ? For Henley ? But that didn't matter for who ! The thing that mattered was why ? .......he was crying while everyone around him was silent still holding their breaths. Nobody knew how to react !

What if she is dead ? Henley !what if she died. What would taehyung tell Melissa ? She'll...... she'll again get lost in the world of darkness. He was still crying. But then he stood up and almost ran out of there. Without making eye contact with anyone ,he ran outside. Scarlett looked at Anna ,everyone was now looking at each other,wondering if they should ask what happened or not. Scarlett with swollen face looked into Anna's eyes. Anna questioned her with her eyes avoiding using words ,not sure if what she was about to hear would cause a heart attack or not. Their lives were finally settling. Finally ,they were moving on. ........after loosing their families .........they were always close but the incident had made them even closer to each other. They were now sisters not cousins. Loosing families was one thing but looking at the dead body ? Dead body of Henley ? That was something anyone couldn't bare.

Scarlett took a deep breath and started speaking.

" Henley .........she......is alive ..! "

And everyone took a deep breath. The breath that was held for the past 10 minutes but then ? Why ? ....

Scarlett:" she is in a very critical state ....the doctors don't have much hope ! ....she is in the ICU with all kinds of machine attached to her. Her whole body has all kinds of wounds. The doctors say she flew out of the car before the strike but her head .....it hit the road and now ...they don't have much hope. It would be a miracle of she wakes up ! ....we might loose her !"
And Anna started crying. Everyone was shedding tears silently.....were they going to loose her ?

Jimin :" Taehyung! Doctor said that Melissa should not be given any kind of stress. She already has history of panic attacks. !"

Taehyung just nodded his head. But his heart was now stuck to Henley ! And suga ! Was he in love pr something? Since when ? That was something he didn't expect !

Entering Melissa's room with a fake smile ,he looked at her. She smiled at him and his fake smile converted into a real one within no time. Approaching her with slow steps and sitting besides her ,he slowly grabbed her hand. Her tiny delicate hand and interlocked hed delicate fingers and his manly long fingers.

Melissa :" is Henley okay ?!"

At her question ,he looked at the floor and just nodded his head. He couldn't afford to loose her. But still he felt guilty. He lied to her but it was for her own good !

Melissa looked at his face and her smile vanished. Signs of worry appearing on her face. She grabbed  his chin slightly and made him look into her eyes.

Melissa :" taehyung ! Is Henley okay ? Before I fainted ......( Coughing ) ...I saw her ...fly out the window. !"

His eyes expanded a little at her question. But he said.

Taehyung:" she is okay !"

After two days

Melissa got discharged with a plaster on her arm and with a few medicines. She was out of danger. Doctor advised a lot of rest and no stress. Reaching her room with taehyung,she grabbed his hand gently. He provided her support and slowly helped her reach his bed. Making her lay in the bed ,he pulled the sheets over her and kissed her forehead. She smiled back at him.  Worry again in her eyes.

" Taehyung! .....where is Henley ? She didn't come home right !"

Taehyung slightly nodded his head again and caressed her hand while sitting besides her.

Taehyung:" you don't have to worry. Doctors want to keep her in the hospital for a few tests and observation. She is fine .....she woke up too !"

Melissa :" I want to see her !"

Taehyung:" she is fine Melissa !....angry bird ! You need to rest too okay ? You love me ? Right"

Melissa :" of course I do! What's with angry bird ?"

He chuckled a little at her cute voice. How soothing was it to listen to her voice. The voice he loved the most. The eyes he wanted to drown in.!

Taehyung:" nothing ! But if you love me ,then you have to take care of yourself.  Melissa in our relationship,I don't want anything from you. I'll love you , I'll take care of you and our children, I'll do every thing. I am okay even if you don't take care of me or if you don't love me........the only thing I want in return from you is to take care of yourself. Please ! ....Melissa ! I'll die without you .....I can't imagine a life without you .....please ! Just take care of yourself. I'll take care of you the most but still you have to take care of yourself too !"

He was asking her to take care of herself and nothing else ? Did he came straight out of a book or something. What kind of man was he ? Was this what is called pure love !  Melissa just nodded at his words with a little surprise in her eyes.

Everyone took turns to stay at the hospital while Melissa recovered at home without knowing a thing about Henley. Suga was the one who took the most care of Henley. And nobody noticed or cared except for Scarlett! It was their turn to stay at the hospital. Suga and Scarlett!..

Sitting on the room sofa ,he was busy on his phone while Scarlett was glaring him sitting on the opposite sofa. Ignoring her glares ,he acted as if he was very busy. Scarlett stood up and announced.

" I am going to the canteen to eat something!"

He without looking up just nodded his head making her even more angry. Why was he still so rude. When she saw him falling on his knees for Henley ? Henley ! Her sister ! Even though she was sad and crying because of her ,she felt jealous. And now she was guilty and jealous at the same time. Nobody cared much but she did ! She wanted to hold him by his collars ,look into his eyes and investigate on why he cried ? Why did he kneel ? Why why why ?

As soon as the door closed behind Scarlett,he looked up In a hurry. Almost throwing his phone on the sofa ,he speed walked towards Henley's bed and sat on the chair besides her bed. She was laying there ,dead straight....the oxygen mask was blurring and clearing again and again with her breaths. Her eyes were closed and her pale arms having a lot of IV lines. He looked at her and tilted his head.

" Do you plan to haunt me ? Girl ! Do you plan to leave and become a ghost and then haunt me for scaring you ?........ Don't ! You are already haunting me ! The word emotion ? I never knew what this meant. My past ! The only thing I remember about it is my emotionless face , a robot like life and blood .....a lot and lot of blood. I was finally feeling what normal people call emotions and then you decide to leave?....."

He chuckled  sarcastically.....

" Wake up and whenever you do don't you dare tell anyone about my scars ?"

He closed his eyes and felt someone breath  near him ......was she ?..
