“Is she safe?” person on the other side asked.
“Yes… She is safe. I dropped her at her house.”
“Did you attend to her wounds? She was badly wounded.”
“No, she didn’t let me attend to her wounds.”
“What? but you…”
“I told her it was not me.”
“What? Okay, that is fine…”
“I thought you would be pissed off at me.”
“After everything you have done for me and her?”
“She was about to kiss me, so I had no other options.”
“That is okay… She deserves to know at least that. I hate myself because I can’t reveal here the secret. What kind of a boyfriend am I? I can’t even tell the girl I love more than my life that it is me who loves her. I can’t even protect her from getting hurt. If you were not there, how much she would get hurt all this time, Luke? I owe you my life.”
“You owe me nothing. Don’t even think about that. I love you both, and the only thing I want is for both of you to be happy. But, I feel if you can at least tell her and then keep your affair a secret from everyone else that would be great.”
“I have thought about that, Luke. But I am afraid. I am afraid that her life would be put in danger because of me.”
“I know… Well, I am coming to your place, let’s continue this there.” Luke said, hanging up the phone.
I woke up with a severe headache and pains in all other places in my wounded body. God! I slept till 10.30. I don’t usually sleep till this late. Usually, my mom wakes me up if I sleep in any case. But today is an exception she didn’t wake me up either. Don’t know why? There were hundreds of messages from him, whoever the mysterious person texts with me. Most of them were asking for forgiveness for being not able to reveal himself, and some of them were saying how much he loves me.
I was having mix feelings about everything. I couldn’t understand what should I tell him or what are my true feelings for him? Don’t get me wrong, I love him. Yet I was not sure if I love him because I thought it was Luke. Or do I love him simply because he cares about me and loves me?
So without replying him, I went to the bathroom to take a long comfortable bath. I was stupid to even think about getting a comfortable bath with all the wounds I got. They started to get painful as the water touched them. Shit!!! Why my life is this miserable? Don’t I deserve a better life?
How happy I was yesterday, getting ready to go to Luke’s party? Wearing that beautiful dress and all. I knew I looked beautiful than I ever imagined. Many people confirmed that. But still, there are few people like Shane and his bloody girlfriend who can’t endure when someone like me getting any kind of recognition. They want me to suffer, nothing more.
Letting tears roll down my cheeks, I took the bath and then applied medicine to my wounds.
After that, I went down to get something to eat as I was starving.
Shane was there watching a football match on TV. When he saw me coming down, he just looked at me but didn’t tell anything. Maybe he decided that I had enough from his girlfriend. Anyway, they are a perfect couple both of them are cruel, heartless and stupid. Grabbing my self some biscuits and a glass of milk, I went back to my room. When I was entering my room, I heard my phone rang. It was an unknown number. Anyway, I answered.
“Sarah…” it was Luke’s voice.
“Hey…”
“How are you feeling?”
“Mmm… better than yesterday night,” I said.
“Did you apply some medicines to your wounds?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“Did you eat?”
“Yes.”
“Did Shane tell you anything?”
“No.”
“Are you angry with me?” his voice sounded sad.
“No! Why would I be angry with you? You have done nothing but help me.”
“Okay… Are you angry with him?” then he asked.
“No…”
“Please Sarah… he has gone crazy since you don’t reply to any of his messages. Please don’t do this.”
“So he made you call me,” I asked sarcastically.
“What? No… I called you because I want to check about you.”
“Listen Luke. I am not angry with him. I am just thinking about what should I tell him. I can’t wait anymore for him to reveal the secret about him. He may have a good reason for all of these, and I respect that. But I am exhausted. I could live this long without him exposing himself to me because I thought it was you. Now I don’t know who that can be, and it is killing me.”
“I understand that Sarah. Believe me, I do. Please give him a little more time. Please… I beg you…”
“Why are you begging to me, Luke? You don’t have to do that. You have done enough for him, I don’t even know he deserves a friend like you.” I said bitterly.
“Believe me, Sarah, he deserves a lot more than a friend like me. He deserves you, the girl in his dreams. I am willing to do anything for him, even to die. He is much more important to me than anything. One day you will understand, what am I telling right now.” He is absolutely speaking his heart out. He sounds so helpless, and I don’t want him begging to me. He is such a sweet person, he deserves only happiness.
“I will send him a message, Luke. But I want him to tell me who is him.” I said.
“I will do my best to convince him.”
“You better do that…”
****
After the call, I sent a message to whoever the person texts with me.
“I am okay, don’t worry. I wish you could reveal your self soon.”
“Thank God! You replied. I was going crazy. Thank you
Princess… Please don’t be mad at me… I want to protect you. I can’t let you get into troubles because of me.” he replied immediately.
“I don’t know from whom or from what you are going to protect me. But I want you to know, I am exhausted. “
