ANDREI'S POV:
"Relax man" my friend Daevon said as he tapped my shoulder. It looks like he just arrived with his wife, traces of concern on his face while looking at me.
I fainted looking at them. "It's been 1 hour since I brought her here. Until now the doctor with her is still not coming out." I said as I looked in the operating room.
I just leaned against the wall and slowly slid down. I cried and looked up and closed my eyes tightly.
Please .. don't leave me again .. please ..
"W-what did the doctor say?" Ayesha stammered as anxiety could not be hidden in her tone.
I slowly opened my eyes. "They said she was not critical, she just had to undergo surgery to remove the bullet from her stomach." I explain.
I need to see my wife awake to calm me down.
Cassandra's other friend also rushed to come. Like Ayesha's face before, it is also full of worry and fear.
"How's Adrian?" I asked, because I asked for her to took care of him.
"He's fine, he's with Cassandra's mom together with Daeshaia" she informed me.
All I could do was nod and look again at the OR door.
"How is she?" Azaia asked.
"The doctor said it's not that critical, they just need to remove the bullet that hit her." Ayesha answered for me.
"I'll just get something to drink." Daevon simply said, he did not wait for my answer and walked away.
"How about Rozz? What happened to that asshole?" Azaia asked stubbornly.
I felt angry again every time I remembered that man. I gasped and looked at them emotionlessly.
"Dead" I simply said which made them stunned for a moment yet little later I saw them smirked.
"Good for him" the two said at the same time and we were both looking at the OR.
A few minutes later the doctor who operated on my wufe came out. I immediately met him and asked about his condition.
"The operation was successful. The patient is stable. We will move her to her room. We will just wait for her to wake up." the doctor said.
Somehow my system calmed down a bit but it was still not complete because I would only calm down when I could talk to her.
The nurses and doctors quickly processed her transfer to a room. Of course I chose a room where even if many people visited her we would all fit.
We watched together and waited for her to wake up. They were on the sofa while I was next to her hospital bed. I watched her as she sleeping like an angel. I gently stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.
"Please don't leave me again baby." I whispered softly.
"It was then that I noticed Rozz's obesity to Cassandra but I never thought it would reach this way. To the point that he would kill my friend just to be with him even in the afterlife." Ayesha's soft story that caught the attention of all of us.
I could see the anger in his eyes, it just calmed down when Daevon caressed her back.
"Good thing I shot him first" I said and sigh.
His car is not bulletproof so I know the bullet of the gun I will fire will penetrate. While they were busy arguing in the car, I simply walked over to the police and grabbed one of their guns. The police were shocked but did nothing when I fired it because I saw Rozz preparing to shoot my wife.
Good thing she was not shot in the head but even so Rozz still attached the trigger of the gun which made me very nervous especially when I saw Cassandra's head leaning against the car window a sign of her unconsciousness. His companion even tried to hostage my wife's mother but the police shot him immediately. Like Rozz, he is dead on that spot too.
I hurried over and opened the car. That's how pale and trembling I was when I saw the bloody part of my wife. I immediately picked her up and took her to my car before I rushed to the hospital.
"Everything will be okay now Dude." my friend's encouragement to me. I replied with a simple smile before returning my attention to my sleeping wife.
I grabbed her hand and gently squeezed.
"Wake up wife .. Please wake up, I'm going crazy already." I whispered softly.
A few hours later they all said goodbye and promised to come back when they had finished what they needed to understand. All I could do was nod and lead them to the door.
Daevon last came out of the room, he tapped me on the shoulder again and smiled sparingly at me. I just took a deep breath and looked at my wife lying down.
"She'll be okay." he mumbled before finally walking away.
I closed the door and went back to the chair next to her bed.
I held her hand again and gently kissed it. I caressed her face in tears.
"Baby want to hear a story?" I tried to smile.
I straightened up and touch her hair continued to caressed it.
"One day, a good old man brought a boy to his house. Their house is very beautiful but that is not what got his attention so much" I said with a smile.
"Instead of noticing the furniture and design of the house, he focused on a girl. She was very beautiful but that was not what she admired most but her character." I continued while looking at her gentle faces.
"The boy saw the girl's innocence in what was going on around her. He once again found the girl talking to one of their helpers at that time. She asked if she was having difficulty understanding her. And in housework because she said she would help it or not do anything to make the maid tired. "I laughed and admired my language.
"The old man took the boy to his house for almost a few days but the girl never noticed that because she was often focused on the book. The old man planned to introduce the boy to his daughter but the boy immediately objected to it. Even though the old man was surprised, he just let it go. "I continued .
"From then on the boy really liked the girl until she grew up. He thought it was just a simple liking so he tried to have a relationship with others but it looks he really hit by the girl." I said. I leaned back in my chair and looked at the ceiling as if watching the scenes I was telling.
"Until one day, the woman's father asked him to marry her. He immediately agreed not because he was so indebted to him but because he really wanted to be tied to the woman." I giggled.
"So..you already like me back then?" a faint utterance of a voice.
I shuddered as I sat down and slowly lowered my gaze to her.
I dropped my jaw looking at her and started to cry when she smiled at me.
"Hey baby" she greeted and caress my face.
