THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 21

"Stay awake. I will bring the medicine-" He rushed his words while embracing my small body against his chest. I shook my head vigorously and whispered, "Please don't go. It's dangerous outside. I don't want to lose you too."

We are not close but I want him to be in my entire life. I can't bear the pain of another loss, my heart is too weak to process everything.

"Trust me, I will be back soon." He made me sit on the corner which is near to the door and ran outside in a blink of eyes, ignoring me calling his name.

"Please don't allow anything to happen to him." I closed my eyes and shed few more drops of tears, the pain in my chest was unbearable it like it will burst out any time soon, but the piercing pain in my knees made me open my eyes and I saw a worrying Blake nursing my injury with the leaves which look like the combination of Tulsi and Neem.

Where did he find and how the hell did he make it here in a short period? He didn't give me a time to ask anything and did his nursing until the bleeding stopped, then he tore the end of his shirt and wrapped it around my knees.

I hissed in pain but he didn't mind at all. I think the old Blake is back. "Do you have any idea of how much I have been worried for you?" He gave me a disappointed look.

"I-- You were sleeping--" I gulped down when the piercing eyes shooting draggers towards me, unable to finish the sentence.

He is mad at me but why? What did I do to him? "You must have woken me up." He took my face in his palms and made me look into his eyes which were filled with concern, not the hard blazer which he has thrown me earlier.

"Promise me. You never do these kinds of things in the future." He asked sincerely, and as a response I found myself nod my head.

"But how did you reach here?" I asked the heartbeat in my chest raised simultaneously as different types of ugly scenarios were started to run into my mind as Heil got him and took his way towards my man.

When did he become your man? Seriously, I have no answer but I want him to be my man, mine only.

He reached his pant pocket and took out the small pen which is similar to the one he handed me in the bungalow when we both stuck there and said, "I used this."

The short answer for my long questions. "You don't need to take the risk over a silly matter. Don't do this next time." I said wiping my teary face.

"I will do anything to bring happiness in your face even if it's matter to lose my life."

"I will die then." I hit his chest but the rascal moved away.

"Be my girl." He asked, his eyes held victory as he already knew my answer.

"I will." I wrapped my hand around his neck and cried for unknown reasons. Needless to say, I was so happy but deep down sometimes bothering my heart as I'm dragging my life into hell, but with Blake, it won't be possible, he will protect me.

"I don't think that scientists like you prefer God over their knowledge." He said out of nowhere which made me furrow my brows deeper.

"What do you mean?" I sat opposite him and looked at him confusingly. Where is he bringing the chapter?

"You know what the whole opposing things against God have brought by them." He explained in two lines thinking himself as a 'Thiruvallur.'

"But I'm not a scientist or will do anything against God. I really love him. My dad taught me to love God unconditionally." I smiled at the memory of me and my dad spending time together in the church lighting candles and flowers in the altar.

"I just wanted to find out the misery behind my dad's death," I whispered looking at the floor, my eyes once again became glossy.

"You love your dad more than anyone, aren't you." He lifted my chin and wiped the drops from my cheeks.

Unable to speak, I nodded my head and flashed him a weak smile while his expression turned very hard all of the sudden. "At least You have your dad's memory with you, but look at me. I didn't see my parents." That literally melted my heart.

He has suffered a lot in his life too. No wonder why he had acted so rudely. "It's okay." I took his big hand and drew a small circle around his palm to calm his throbbing chest. Yes! I can feel his grieving pain.

"My mom died right after she gave birth to me.  I didn't see her face, nor she did. My dad abandoned me for nothing." His lips formed in a thin line while he has a strong grip on my hand.

"I have no words for your loss but I can assure you that I will replace your mother's place, at least will try." I meant every word I said to him. He deserved happiness in his life too.

"I know." His face lit up with happiness that made me forget all my worries. "The portrait you saw in the Bungalow was me and it was drawn by my mom. She predicted my every feature but poor my mom doesn't know how cruel my dad was. She loved me and I loved her but fate has poured a dark rain over us."

I stayed silent throughout his talk, patting his hand. "They used to live that bungalow until that misery. The books were the collection of my mom's and she has read the whole book. She was an amazing girl if she had got a chance she would have proven her lovely motherhood." He laid his head on my lap and closed his eyes.

He is a baby who is crying for her mother's love. I feel pity for him but it doesn't change anything but I will change his dark past and bring light in his life. I combed his hair through my fingers and let out a long sigh when I felt his heavyweight on my lap, indicating he has fallen asleep.

I leaned on the wall and closed my eyes as well. Please, God, don't let Heil ruin our life. He needs me more than I do. The first time in my life fear crept through my body since I discovered the truth about Heil.

What if he ruins our life?

"Before he could ruin our life, I will finish him and put the end card to this misery." I stroked his hair gently not enough to spoil his sleep.

As time went by I fell asleep having the wall as my pillow and Blake as my bedsheet, the heat from his body gave me a comfortable sleep despite I am sleeping in the sitting position.

"Many more happy returns of the day, my love." A warm lip kissed my forehead followed by a lingering tap on my cheeks as he is trying to wake me up and he has succeeded.

"What now." I leaned on the wall to find the comfortable position but he shook my shoulders and screamed, "Heil is here, wake up!"

"W- what?" I sat abruptly only to see his hilarious laugh. "Mr. Hunter!!" I shouted controlling my voice, cause I remember we are still in the church.

"It's your birthday." He smiled.

"I don't care." I twisted my lips to control the other water resources. I had enough of tears today.

"But I care." He said looking straight through my eyes that sent chills down to my spine.

"You are the only precious gift I have now and I will do anything to see the happiness in your eyes--" He shushed me when I was about to open my mouth and continued, "You are the perfection when compared to both of us. I want to feel that completion in my life through your every moves."

My chest rose heavily hearing his words. All these times I thought that I'm the unlucky person, where he had lived his entire life not knowing what it to feel like loved by someone. He doesn't know when is his birthday, nor his age. He would have calculated everything, approximately.

"Let celebrate your day." He pleaded, his eyes begged me to say 'yes.'

"Only for you." I clutched his shirt and buried my face on his chest. I desperately wanted to kiss him but I can't cause my mind is often yelling me that we are in the church and I respect this place more than anything. Maybe in the future, I will kiss him in the church as a sign of our pure love.

"I can't wait for the day." Reading my mind he whispered. "What?" I asked, my face is still buried in his chest.

"To make you officially mine." I smiled even though he can't see me and nodded my head before let out my three words, "I love you."

For a second he was frozen as if someone poured him a bucket of cold water through his head and when I punched his chest he said proudly, "I love you too."

We both held eye contact for what seemed to ages, no words spoken between them. We felt our soul has been ripped out of our flesh and flying happily in the sky.
