TJL#12#Princess Of Fairy Tale

Illusion

Natasha's POV

I had a beautiful dream. I saw him so close to me. He was hugging me. I was in his arms. He was assuring me that he was alive. He was holding me and I was lost. But I couldn't hold back. I lost my senses. I was suffering much losing him. I think I can't come out of it ever. I would not let it go. May be days will pass but I will still be like this. I won't be able to forget about this. I will be living in this. I will not let myself forget this. If I forget this then, my love wasn't that deep for him.

You won't be able to forget him. My heart said. It was right.

Your family is waiting. You should talk with them. They are not in a better condition either. My brain responded. It was right as well. I should talk with my family. My dad, my mom, Natalie my twin, my little brother Noel. They need me. I should talk with them first.

I slowly opened my eyes, then shut them again. I needed time to adjust the light. I blinked a few times. I saw someone was bending over me. Christian!!! I sat up at once.

" Christian !!!!" I said.

" Ma'am, you wake up?" I saw a nurse reaching me.

Stupid!!! Hold on yourself. He is not coming back. My brain said. I sighed.

" Can I have some water?" I asked her as my throat was burning inside. It was feeling like Sahara. Dried and dead.

" Sure." She said and went to grab water. " Here, ma'am." She handed me the glass and settled the pillows behind my back. She helped me drinking the water.

" Can you tell me how long I am here?" I asked her.

" 3 days, ma'am." She said. I sighed. I lost him 3 days back. Suddenly, I remembered about Mr. & Mrs. Knight. Christian was only child of his parents. I closed my eyes. My pain is nothing in front of them.

" I am sorry." I mumbled.

" Ma'am, will I call your family inside? They are waiting outside the cabin." The nurse said.

" Oh, yes. Please call them inside." I said.

She went out and I leaned back on my pillow. My mind was stuck on him. I took a deep breath and looked at the boring walls of the hospital. It only helped adding some more in my already bleeding soul.

I looked at the painting hanging on the wall. Usually paintings give me a happy feeling even I have many at our home. My room has too many hanging on the wall. Natalie complained about it thousands of times but I didn't took it off. But today none of those paintings are thrilling me at all. I felt all my emotions died.

I couldn't feel anything but pain. Why God!!! Why!!! Why did you make us meet each other if you had a plan to make us apart like this!!! I heard the door is opening. Next moment I saw my parents entering the cabin and my siblings were following them. I tried to smile at them but a single drop of tears find it's way towards my cheek. I wiped it hiding my face with my hair. I gave them a bright smile. My dad reached me first and sat down next to me and my mom sat the other side. I saw Noel and Natalie sitting on the edge of the bed as Natalie wrapped her arm around Noel's shoulder. They smiled at me and I smiled back.

" My baby!!!" My mom engulfed me into a hug at once. I hugged her back. I felt her tears on my shoulder.

" Don't cry, Mom. I am fine." I said breaking the hug and gave her a kiss on her cheek. She caressed my cheeks trying to believe that I am still alive. She kissed my forehead. I smiled widely.

" Aren't you both going to hug me?" I said my siblings. They weren't needed to tell again, I hugged them back with same amount of love. My mom went to Dad and kept her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and she nodded.

Dad took my hands and caressed them. I was waiting for him to say something. But he wasn't saying anything.

" I thought I am going lose you." My dad said softly. His eyes was down. I couldn't look at those green eyes. I hold his hands tightly. He looked at me. I found his eyes were teary. He blinked and pushed his tears back.

" Dad." I said and hugged him. I didn't hold my tears back. I let them flow. Dad hugged me back. His hold was tight he was assuring that I am not going anywhere.

" I scared you?" I asked kissing his cheek as we broke the hug.

" To the death, princess." My dad said softly.

" I am sorry." I said. He patted my head. " How are you feeling now?" My dad asked.

' I am dying inside. My heart is wiping blood. My soul is scattered. My feelings are dead.' that's all I wanted to say. But I smiled and hide them inside myself.

" I am fine. Don't worry." I said.

" Are you sure?" He asked.

" Yes, Dad." I said.

" You need a lot of rest." Noel said.

" You need to be stress free." My twin said touching my cheek softly.

" I need to go back home at first." I said. " This place is suffocating me." I said.

" But, sweetheart, you need to stay here for a few days." My mom said.

" Dad, please. Please take me home." I said. Dad sighed.

" Princess, your mom is right. You should stay here for a few days." Dad said.

" Mom, Dad. Please, this place is making me feel I am sick. I want to feel home. That only thing can heal me. I need to spend plenty of time with my garden." I said and they smiled.

" You don't need to spend time with your garden. Trust me you don't." My twin said and I sighed.

" My head is messed. I need some days off from everything." I said honestly.

" Alright. You can get it." My mom said and I saw the door opened and the person entered made my heart go crazy for him. He stood at the corner leaning on the wall shoving his hands in his pocket. I smiled. I touched my heart and mouthed 'I love you'. I knew he was an illusion.

" He is not." Natalie said.

" What?" I asked and the next moment I saw Mr. & Mrs. Knight entered along with Quinns. They looked at Christian and smiled. They can see him!!! He is not an illusion!!! He was for real!!! He was smiling at me. I was confused.
