Chereads / Tale of Blood and Rose / Chapter 12 - With me

Chapter 12 - With me

Late Night, Niya's sleep broke and she found herself in the hotel's room. Her dress was also changed ."Who changed my dress." Muttered Niya while holding her head. Her head was still heavy. "I should take a bath." She muttered while thinking about taking a bath.

She was taking a bath inside the bathroom while thinking about the incidents of the previous night. "Who was that guy who saved me last night?" She was murmuring and remembering. "What would have happened to me if he had not come." She thought. "Thank God for sending that man." She thanked God in her mind.

She came out of the bathroom but her mind was stuck in yesterday's incident. She cleared all those thoughts. "Where is he? I want to see him?" She was standing in front of her room's window. She doesn't know that someone is watching her from another building. It was Jack. His room's window was open and he was watching her. All of sudden their eyes met but he pulled down the curtain and went away from there. This action of Jack brought tears to her eyes.

She didn't sleep that night. All she was doing was crying. " Why he did do this? Doesn't he remember me?" The question was moving in her mind all the time. It was early morning, she went to another window of the room. Finally, she was able to see him. He was standing on the bridge.

She was able to see him from another window of the hotel's room. He was enjoying the fresh air while standing on the bridge. Niya decided to go to him. Immediately she went out of her room and went towards the elevator. She went out of the Hotel and ran towards him.

There were very few people on the streets. There was still darkness in the sky. She was taking a deep breath standing behind him. He turned his face towards her. Seeing his face, a smile appeared on her lips. "Joseph." The name came out of her mouth."Excuse me, Miss. I am not Joseph." Jack said. "I know Jack." She said in a low voice.

He avoided his gaze from her. "Jack why are you avoiding me." She went near him. "First of all, I don't know you." He said. "But I know you." She said while holding his arm. "Leave me." He said in his deep and husky voice. It sends shivers to her body but she denies leaving his hand. "I said leave me and go away " He pushed her. He pushed her lightly but his strength was enough to make her fall.

She fell into the deep river flowing under that bridge. Seeing her, he quickly dives into the river. Her full body was inside the river but her left hand was on its upper layer and he was able to see it. He quickly went to her while swimming. But she was unconscious. He took her out of the river and laid her on the sandy ground.

He gave her first aid but it failed. He set up his mind and pinched her nose. He took in a deep breath before touching her with a firm seal over her mouth. Slowly her chest began to rise. Again he pushed in the center of her chest. This time she coughed and some water came out of her mouth.

Slowly she opened her eyes but she found herself in the hospital. She found that a masked man was holding her hand and was sitting on a stool beside the hospital bed. He opened his eyes after feeling her movements. "Leave me?' Niya said in a low voice and removed his grip on her hand.

She was about to sit on the bed but he pinned her on the bed. She was again going to lose consciousness but he called the doctor.

She was able to hear everything but was able to see blurry. "Same face, same figure." She murmured. She understood who was the person, who saved her last night. She also understood who saves her from falling on the streets while cycling. Soon the doctor came and checked her. "She is alright she will gain consciousness soon. All this is happening because of the high dosage of medicines." The doctor stated.

After gaining consciousness, "Are you alright ?"Asked Jack and helped her to sit. She nodded and asked, " So you are the one who was protecting me for some days." He nodded. "Yes." "Where is your boyfriend, David?" He asked looking straight into her eyes. She can see the pain in his eyes. "Naomi." He asked. "He is not my boyfriend. And I am Niya." She started while lowering her eyes.

"Then who is he, your husband?" He asked. It made her laugh." What are you saying? He is my cousin, David. Quit sparking your own comedy in your head, okay?." She said. "Oh. Do you have any boyfriend?' He asked. " Yes." She replied. His face turned dark after hearing 'yes'. "My love is one-sided. He lives miles away from me." She said.

"So you are in a long-distance relationship." Ha, asked in a low voice. ''I am not in any relationship with him. But he is my world, my everything." It brought a little smile to his lips because he understood who she was talking about. " So the guy is Joseph...I mean Jack. Me? " He said. "Yes." She nodded. He hugged her as he got everything.

"Niya, I want to take you with me." Will you come with me?" He asked. Where are your parents?" he asked. "They are at home." She said.
