29. Marvellous as always (unedited)
Asvaldur badly wished it all to be just a nightmare. Hell, he didn't even want to feel in a nightmare what he felt now.
Everything around him was a mess, people screaming for help, in pain or in agony. And the middle laid his father covered with blood and his unconscious angel.
He recalled what happened in few minutes ago, his heart was drumming as he heard the gun going off, he closed his eyes not wanting to see his love die in front of his eyes.
He opened his eyes as he heard absolute silence accompanying the sharp sound of gun, to see lifeless body of his father lying there, covered with blood.
His father saved his love. Why? Why would he do that?
His thoughts were broken as the paramedics rushed passed him, to get his father and Siofra. As soon as realization hit him as hard as truck he started following them, shouting and barking orders at them, to get both of them to hospital as soon as possible.
They soon reached the hospital, a sense of deja vù washed him as he remembered wheeling Siofra to the same hospital a couple of months ago. He'd never thought that he'll be in the same situation at least so soon.
"Sir, you need to stay back while I examine them." The doctor said.
"No I can't---"
"With due respect sir, both of us know that I won't be able to do my job if you accompany me, so please let me do my job and I assure you that I will do my best to save them." The doctor said leaving for the emergency room, leaving him all alone with his thoughts in the waiting room.
His gaze fixed to the floor beneath him, as seconds passed into minutes and minutes into hour, he was left alone with his malaise thoughts.
Finally after three hours for what felt like three decades, the doctor came out of the emergency room murmuring medical terminologies to the nurse beside him.
Terrified of what's going to happen next , he emerged himself in prayers.
"Mr. Knight I examined both your fiance and father, one of them is very critical and other one is better. If you'd please follow me to my office for the detailed details. " The doctor said, making his way towards his office.
Asvaldur sat on the comfortable leather chair that was not all offering any amount of comfort to him at the moment. He kept fiddling his fingers and bouncing his legs still anxious of what he was about to hear.
"So I will start with your fiance, she... she fainted there due to the amount of stress that her heart couldn't handle as she is still healing. However her present condition is not that well, but I am shocked how unexceptionally she is doing well. I don't know whether it your love along with the medicines but the speed at which she is recovering is quite a miracle." The doctor said making Asvaldur sign in relief.
"So does that mean she is safe?" He asked still skeptical.
"She indeed is. However can't say the same about your father. The bullet just gazed one of his vital organ, but his health is not good. For what I feel is, he is not keeping well for a long time. He is not having proper nutrition, severe dehydration with severely high blood pressure. I will be honest with you, I don't know whether or not he will be able to make it."

The sky turned into Siofra's favorite shade of purple, making him miss her even more if possible.
It was early in the morning with his love still sleeping, taking her time to heal while he didn't sleep a blink. He just sat there waiting for her to open her beautiful hazels.
He vaguely remembers going numb after what the doctor said, his father was suffering, suffering all alone. After all his father did to him, he realized a piece of his heart still belonged to his father, he can't hate him at any cost.
He still couldn't gallant to meet his father, he was confused with all the emotions he was feeling. If only his angel was here, she would calm him by ranting about calming hormones present in the body or probably distract him with a set of activities.
A wide smile made its way on his face as he was her fluttering her eyes. She is waking up, his love is waking up.
"Good morning, my love." He said as soon as he was greeted by the warm pair of hazels that he is fallen in love with.
"Val? I----I am alive? Y---you are h---here with me?" She said feeling his whole face, trying to assure herself that she indeed is with her bunny.
"You are love, see your bunny is here with you fairy. But I am very very upset with you. What were you thinking back there ,huh? You have to work a lot to make up with it. And God forbid if you give me another heart attack like that, I would never ever talk to you." He said shouting at her, to which she just pouted.
"I am sorry love, I didn't mean to scare you. But hey, I am not sorry for what I did, if it means to save you I will do it a million times more. You need to understand I can't imagine my future without you. " She said.
"And you need to understand I can't live without you too! Everytime seeing you lie lifelessly in this hospital bed, constricts my heart painfully. Why can't you understand!!" He said with his rage completely taking over him.
"Okay, okay fine I will try not to put you in this situation again. Now, is this the way to greet your fiance who just woke up from deep slumber? Come and kiss me, my love."
That was enough for him to lean as quickly as he could towards her and kiss all his frustrations, fears and possessiveness out.
"That was marvellous as always." He whispered.
"Indeed. But I am still confused what happened? I clearly remember a bullet coming towards me, yet I feel no much pain." She asked confused.
"My father saved you. He took the bullet for you." He whispered which was followed by a gasp.
"H---how is h--he?" She asked.
"C---can't tell. Besides the bullet he has other problems too, which shows he was not keeping well for a couple of months now." He said.
"Did you see him?"
"No I couldn't gather up the courage to." He said to which she hummed, she truly couldn't imagine how onerous it was for him seeing both her and his father in such a condition.
"You should, maybe you will your answers." She replied.
As the doctor checked on her, they both fell into comfortable silence. Both analysis the current situation, lost in their own thoughts.
