Being His Shining Armor

C H A P T E R: 28

"Princess have your breakfast and go." Dad placed my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches and a glass of orange juice on the table for me. 

"I've gotta leave dad." I wore my bag taking a sandwich in my hand and stuffing it into my mouth.

"Careful. You still have 30 minutes and why are you hurrying as if you got to stop someone who's going to die, huh?" Dad laughed while my mind went blank again.

Dying?....

My throat went all dry. No, not again. These flashes are killing me like a slow poison entering into my body, slowly yet painfully.

"Ough ough.." I started coughing badly making tears brim on my eyes. Dad tapped my back and gave me some water while I drank the water.

"Slow down princess." He caressed my hairs and I quickly hugged him.

Dad today's something that I'm going to do without telling you and trust me it's worth doing it that away. Today I'm going to face and fight my own dream which will be turning into a reality just in few hours. Just as you always say 'Fight for something good which your heart directs and mind obliges.' I'm going to follow that. I hope I'll turn successful after all I'm your daughter. Sorry once again dad.

"Okay Mr. King I'm leaving bye." I ran out of the house not even waiting or listening to his reply.

Sanskaar, I'll do everything to see you safe.

"Oh Shona beta." Mom opened the door totally surprised seeing me.

"Hi Mom." I waved my hand and she let me in with a smile.

"Maa, did you see my watch?" I heard sanskaar yelling from his room.

"It's here sunny." Mom replied back and took the watch from the table.

"Shona are you here to see sanskaar?" She asked.

"Ha but mom why do I smell something getting burned?" I asked as I smelled something burning.

"Oh! I left the potato fry in the stove, Shona give this to sunny." She gave the watch to me hurriedly and rushed to the kitchen.

"Maa I'll have my breakfast afterwards so don't skip your meals and---" His words stopped seeing me standing and his steps slowed down a bit.

His face itself expressed how much surprised he was seeing me. Ofcourse it was an expected one.

"You?"

"Mm.. your watch." I forwarded to him while he took the watch still looking at me.

"Have you left something?" He questioned setting his hairs with his hand.

"Yeah."

"What?" His left eyebrow lifted up in confusion.

"You." I whispered to him with a smile.

Whenever my eyes met his I get a different yet soothing emotion that I have no idea how to put them into exact words.

"Shona you ate?" Mom's voice broke our eyelock. I quickly averted my eyes away from his.

"Yeah mom." I spoke.

"Okay maa we'll leave now. It's getting late."

Bidding mom with a huge we both stepped out of the house. I tangled my hands with his while walking with my eyes all straight. Though I didn't look at our hands but I did felt no spaces between, my fingers were fit perfectly in his.

"Swara?"

I heard his deep voice and his strong gaze on me.

"Just stay still." I mumbled softly to him.
