Never Let Me Go

Fifteen

The Security guards started to clear up the restaurant while one of them went to the back after Jay, who escaped through the kitchen after shooting Samar

"AMBULANCE, SOMEONE PLEASE, CALL AN AMBULANCE!!"

Meera shouted at the top of her lungs, holding Samar in her lap with her eyes searching for someone who could help her, but everyone was standing there, staring with shock

Everything happened so fast, she didn't even comprehend it at first, she didn't think that Jay would actually shoot, even if he did, Why Samar?!! She's the one who left him, he should have a problem with her and not him

"Ma'am, I already called them, they're on their way" the restaurant hostess said with remorseful eyes

Meera looked at her and nodded silently

She could feel the heat of the blood running through her fingers as she pressed the wound on his back

"Give me something to stop the bleeding?!!" Meera asked the hostess pointing to the table cloths

The girl ran to the nearest table and asked the waiter to help her clear it so she could remove the cloth

Meera shoved the table cloths under him and he groaned with pain

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Meera apologized

Hearing her cracked voice, Samar slowly opened his eyes,"Huh..I'm ... huh...I'm fine..." he said gasping for air

When Samar heard the sound of the gunshot, Strangely, the feeling of burning sensation of the bullet tearing into his flesh was a relief for him, he was relieved when he realized that he was the one who got shot and not Meera

Just the idea of Meera's getting hurt was killing him more than this bullet

"Help is on the way, just hold on" Meera said, hugging and kissing his head

Samar raised his head, looking around, but he laid back down feeling too weak to move "Ahh..Jay?!!..." He asked panting

Meera stared at the guard who just came from the kitchen after failing to catch Jay, he pressed his lips together, shaking his head, and Meera bit her lower lip in frustration "Baby, Don't talk, just relax, please" she said leaning her head down, kissing his forehead

Samar let out a breath and closed his eyes again, resting his head on Meera's chest

Surviving this was a roll of a dice, for all he knew, this could be the last time he sees her, the last time he feels her touch or smell her scent

And as much as he wanted to live, the thought of dying in her arms didn't seem so bad either

He felt Meera's hot tear dropping on his face as she slid her hand over his own, intertwining their fingers together

He took her hand and placed it flat on his chest "I love you Meera...I'll love you...till...my...last...breath" he said with a weak muted voice

Meera's lip quivered and another set of tears started sweeping down her cheeks, the way Samar sounds caused her fear to grow even more, Why was he talking like this?!! She didn't want to believe that Samar was saying goodbye

"Where is that damn ambulance?! Why is it taking so long to get here?!" Meera yelled angrily at the hostess who shook her head helplessly "I don't know ma'am, they said it's on the way"

Meera held Samar, with her body swaying forward and backwards, speaking under her breath "I love you too Samar, stay with me baby, please...please"
