Promised

Thais

No, no, this is not happening.

"EVERYBODY BETTER DROP DOWN ALL THE MONEY AND GOLDS YOU HAVE!!" The stranger was screaming near my left ear.

His breathe was not constant and he is shaking my whole body while standing behind me.

"One step near her, she will be slashed!" He commanded to the others in front of us.

I couldn't move at all.

My whole body is in a frozen state. One move if I try to escape, I'm gone forever.

The stranger held me as his victim.

His grip on my arm was getting harder.

I don't know what's happening around me.

I can see people in front of us standing with so many emotions in their faces.

Is Niel there?

Is he watching me?

No, will this be my last sight of him?

We, we....have just got together.....I can't let him go like this.

My Devil and Angel he is.

"NO! NOT A SINGLE STEP I SAID!!" The robber screamed again.

My blood had flushed down from the shock I had of being the captured one.

I was running out of breath.

My feet feels weak and wobbly.

And the worse part of it, no one can do anything.

"NO! Don't. Do. Anything to her!" I heard a voice.

"Leave her alone!" again.

Niel.

I'm sorry Niel. I'm sorry I put myself into this.

I lov-

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! THAIS!!!! NO, NO!" Another scream.

Mum.

I blackout.

The last thing I saw in my blurred vision was Niel running towards me.


Niel

"Thais! THAIS! No, no, NO!"

This is not happening, No, No!

Thais, wake up. WAKE UP.

Stay conscious please.

"Thais! Oh, dear! Darling!!" Her mum came in view. Tears were rolling down non stop from her.

Her uncle had run after the robber who cut her neck.

Blood was oozing out of her neck.

I heard sobs and pain on everyone here.

The angel in front of me, on my lap, what had she done?

Why does she have to face this suffering!

I shook her body violently.

But no movement from her.

"Thais!!!" Then I realise my tears falling on her cheek.

"Get her to the hospital now!" I screamed at someone scouting next to me.

I don't know who it was and I don't care anything now besides her.

I carried her into my car and her mum, aunt and niece came with me.

My hands were bloodshot and my shirt were blood stained.

I hit the gas pedal and it forwarded to 100km/hour in minute.

I won't let you go, Thais.

I won't.

Never in this life.

We made a promise not to leave each other. Remember?


"You look very pretty and elegant in that dress," I commented.

"Emm...only today? And not all the other day?" She replied with a smile at my compliment.

"Em...let's see....not really but that's what I like about you, just pure and innocent,"I said with my seducing trademark that she likes.

I saw her rolled her eyes. She hit me in my arm and stuck her tongue out.


I grab her waist and pulled her towards me, her back facing me.

"What are you doing?!" She tried to unlock my hands from her waist.

"Stay still will you?" I whispered near the nape of her neck.

She flinched from my breath but she calm down and stood still.

"Are we going to stay like this forever?"

"Yes," I answered her coolly.

"Ok, ok! Let me go! I have work to do. The guest are going to arrive soon!" I loosened my grip

"I would never let you go," I said lying my back against the wall behind me.

She turn to face me.

Those eyes, soft lips, What am I thinking! Those thoughts! Throw it away!

"Niel," my name sounds beautiful from her lips.

I looked into her eyes, saying I was listening.

She came closer and I became aware of my surrounding.

Her face was serious.

"Promise me, you will always be there by my side at any cost. Danger, pain, lost, happiness, old age, fight, you will always be there," She was looking into my soul.

"I love you and only you," I held her arms in assurance and kissed her forehead.

She smiled and went towards the door, "Me too,"

My grip on the steering became tight.

And the meter shows 120km/hour now.

I honed every single car in my way.

A promise is a promise, Thais.

I would never let you go.

-------------------------

"Hey," I croaked with my tired voice when I felt someone holding my palm.

She had a bandage on her neck but she made it.

She made back for me, to me.

Her eyes roamed around the hospital room. Her palm grip got tighter.

Then she smiled.

The smile that lit the my whole world bright.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Niel?

My daughter and Niel are together?

Niel likes Thais? No not like but he loves her.

Looking at how he reacted when he saw her like this.

No, this is not a mistake.

I'm sure the two of them are in love.

Finally my daughter had found her other half uh? She had made the right choice then.

I'm happy.

Seeing him taking care of her every day. I'm relief.

They just remind me of my lifetime.

Thank, God. Thank you so much.

"Hello, aunty," Niel greeted me.

"Niel,"

"Yes aunty?"

"Take care of my daughter will you?Not only here but forever with you, can you? She seems so much brighter with you," I told him.

He took a deep breath. Calm and steady.

"I will and always will."
