I had never let any emotions to have control over me. I cried my heart out because I have no one left in this world. But since I met that girl, I felt that I may have her, she made me feel alive. I hadn't spent a day with her though I had fell for her. Her pure soul was something I would be happy enough to connect.

But did she feel the same?...

I lift her off my lap and smiled at her.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"To my bed?...what?....You want me to sleep with you?" She nodded vigorously. Was she in love with me? No, she might be afraid to sleep alone!

"If that's okay with you...I am comfortable with you...to sleep?" She was nervous and my heart swelled.

I smiled,"Um...I don't sleep in shirt, if that's okay?"

She nodded. I slipped off my shirt and lay beside her.I faced her and drifted to sleep.

When I woke up, she was curled with me. My hand was on her waist and one leg over her. I kept my hands off her, and i examined her. She looked so young while she slept. She shifted slightly, her eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning beautiful!" I said.

"Yeah....slept well?" She smiled. I nodded.

"I will get our breakfast in room....Well, I need to go to the town to my house for some paperwork of my mom's death and collect the cash from there, money is what we are going to need.... Although, I'm not as rich as I was two days ago but I can manage. And you can live with me, as you don't have anyone....if you want. I will be back before evening. Will you be able to stay alone?" I asked while admiring her.

"Yes, I can live with you until I get my own place. Yes, I'll be able to stay alone but can you lock the door so that I don't have to meet people?" She requested.

"Ofcourse I can. Then I will order a great deal of meal so you can eat enough." I got off the bed took my T-shirt and headed to bathroom.
When I returned she sat by the window staring outside. I hope she recovered from all that. I ordered her meal.

"Goodbye, I'll see you this evening." I said.
Diana hugged me and nodded and I stayed silent. Locked the door before I headed to the town.

If I only knew what was going to come, I would have never locked the door...

It took me three hours to collect the cash from the house. It was noon so I needed to finish the paperwork fast. Suddenly, I heard the siren?

Boom!....Boom!...Boom! Oh no..Diana? My heart sank. I ran to the car with my bag of cash. Dialled to the hospital, "Hello...mam? Is everything–"

"No! It's not okay. A fire bomb was dropped at the hospital. People are running out of the hospital. t-the bomb was dropped in the kitchen,I guess." She shouted. I hanged up. I drove as fast as I could. I couldn't save my mom, but I might have saved Diana if I didn't lock the damn door! What if....I shut my thoughts. I had to save her.

When I reached at the hospital, people were gathered at the front parking lot. I ran to the crowd, "Diana?.....Dianaaa?" I shouted. After searching for few minutes I saw toward my room at the third floor. Oh no.....Diana was sitting on the window. Without any thought, I ran into the hospital. "Hey boy?", "Don't go inside" Such voices I heard from behind. But I ran through the stairs to reach her!

The entrance of third floor had fire all around. A wooden door had caught fire. But I tried to ran through it, though my left leg had been injured. I reached my room 60, I put my hand in my pocket to get the key but I realised I had left it in the car. Damnit! I tried to break the door, one thrash, two hard thrash and the door crashed open.
The beds caught fire so I moved to the window. Diana couldn't see me? Her eyes are closed. Why?
I began to panic.
I lifted her in my arms from the window and carried her down the hall. Her eyes were still closed. I ran as fast as I could. My back was naked then, the shirt torn apart. I was afraid of losing her. I took her out very carefully so that nothing could happen her. She met me a day ago and there I was in love with her. I was so happy when she allowed me to comfort her, I love her lord! She had got under my skin, I wish I had met her a long before in different circumstances and in different place. It was such a short time we both had. I regret that I never got a chance to express my feelings for her. Finally when I reached out, I heard gasps and shouts but I ignored.

The receptionist came along with two nurses, "Let us see what happened to her. Put her in the bed in that tent." They led me to the tent. I sat beside her when they examined her.

"She is alive. Her heart is responding. She will be awake soon....can you wait outside so that we can check if she has any burns on her body? You can go and have you leg get checked." A nurse said. And I nodded in agreement.

I walked out to have my leg get checked. It just had a burn which would get cured. Diana's nurse came in, "Well, her back has a burn, I applied cream but she can't lean by her back for a certain time. She is awake, you can meet her." She smiled.

I ran to her with my injured leg. She sat upright on her bed. When she saw me,"Darcy? How I got out of–" I hugged her, I didn't want her to finish it. She was back. I love her...I wanted to tell her, but I was afraid. Did she missed me like I did?

"I thought I lost you, like my mom...." I cried, tears pricked through my eyes. She touched my back and I shivered.

"Me too...."she whispered. I pulled away and sat infront of her. She leaned in my hands and wiped my face.

"I'm here, We're here. Safe. I don't need anything else more than you... You! I want to tell you something that.... Nevermind! Well, I'm extremely sorry Diana that I left you. I didn't know this was going to happen, I would have never locked the door–" I couldn't finished as she kissed me desperately.

It was a dream, wasn't it ?.....
