Chapter 4- Please come back

Shakira's POV,

Several days passed by and he had not returned to me after he promised he would. I was laying on the hospital bed not because I was feeling sick from illness but because I was waiting for his return. I was feeling so anxious that I couldn’t eat anything, my heart was in pain yet I couldn’t even understand what was happening to me. I could only sleep and sleep, I was silently sleeping when I heard a creak from the door. My eyes suddenly popped open, my heart accelerating I raised my head to see who entered.

My eyes drop and I feel an ache in my chest when I saw who entered. He smiled in my way and he said to me,

“I know, you weren’t expecting me to come here. But… I wanted to tell you that you couldn’t stay here any longer waiting for someone whose life is a secret to the world.”

He walked towards me and sat on the bed and held my hand then he whispered,

“Sis, trust me, I have searched and investigated all that there is to know who he is but all I could find about him was what we already know.”

I shook my head and looked in the other way, my head was spinning and I couldn’t think properly, I knew I knew him but I didn’t know who, how and when I knew him. I tried to think widely and why I felt that way but there was no one I had felt intimate with and loved like that boy.

But he is dead, or is it that I am falling for someone else? That will never happen. I can never love someone else. I should forget about this guy, even if he felt the same way as I do, I don’t think I would be able to open up to him.

Angelo slapped my hand when he saw me in deep thoughts and he inquires,

“Kira, do you feel for this guy? If so, I won’t stop searching for him, after all, he is the first guy you have looked at after several years.”

I raised my fragile body and shook my head at him and told him,

“You should go for the discharge papers, I am going back to my business. I don’t have time for feelings. Help me speak to my PA that I would be returning to work tomorrow. Tell my housemaid to stock my fridge and clean the house, and reserve a hotel for me in B country, I need to go there next week for a business meeting.”

“Okay, enough… ask your PA to assist you with the rest of the other duties. The only thing I would do right now is to help you out of the hospital so we can go home.”

I remembered when I heard, “home”, I had gone home after I was released from the hospital several years back and I heard my parents quarreling.

“You didn’t have to do that, we could solve this issue in another way. “ Said, my mother

“There was no other way apart from this.” My father replied

“But then you put our daughter in danger as well.” My mother beat her chest and shouted.

“Frank deser…”

I quickly ran away from there, I couldn’t listen more to what they were conversing about. I didn’t know what I didn’t want to hear and I didn’t want anything there to be for me to listen to. Ever since then, I couldn’t get closer to my parents and had stayed out of their lives. I could only visit on occasional days.

Angelo tapped my shoulder and he inquires squeezing his eyes and looking at me intently,

“Why do you keep spacing out? Is there something you are not telling me? You have to come home with me, you hardly come by. Our parents are worried about you, they returned from their trip abroad and we’re hurrying here to see you but I stopped them. I managed to convince them that you would come here after your release but just the mention of our home you…”

“It’s enough, you don’t and to say anymore, I am going back to my house and it’s final.” I cut him off.

“But…”

I glared at him and his mouth shut at once not that I was too domineering but he wouldn’t want to cross paths with me. Thirty minutes later, we were driving on the streets on my way to my house. My eyes were tightly closed as his image kept playing in my eyes, his song kept playing in my ears and I remembered what he told me when I told him to be mine,

He laughed and pulled his hand from me, his eyes darted to everywhere in the room but to me. He sighed and brushed his hand in his hair the other hand resting in his pocket and he stopped smiling and said in a deep voice,

“Seeing you now is risking my life, you know my first name and for the first time I am not afraid to take such a step.”

He turned to me and this time he looked straight in my eyes and he continues,

“I will try and come back here to see you. But if I can’t and you can recognize me without my mask when we meet once again, then I won’t hesitate to be yours forever. This I promise.”

I became dumbfounded at the moment and couldn’t speak a word but just look into his sparkling eyes. He blinked and cleared his throat before looking away, he made his way out of the room without looking back. My heart that was accelerating at the moment stopped the instant he closed the door vanishing from my sight.

I hurried to the door and opened it, the silent corridor slapped my face with no human insight. I closed the door behind me and rushed into the middle of it, I looked at both sides and didn’t know where to lead my feet. Then I felt like shouting and all that came out of my mouth was,

“Who the hell are you? Please come back!!!”
