Playing With Destiny

Chapter Twenty-seven

[ Keliche Shizamme Sandoval's Point of View ]

I woke up feeling fresh because I don’t know, I didn’t sleep at 3 am, in fact, I slept earlier than that. I really don’t know about this feeling but I just want to deal with it and I’ll just go with the flow since it’s the very right thing to do. As usual, Khyzrr called last night and he sang a song for me again, stupid.

I really can’t believe that Khyzrr knelt down in front of me like on the movies, too bad that I’m not that Keliche that’s trapped inside my room, away from reality. If I’m that Keliche, maybe I immediately answered yes to him like Princess Anna to Prince Hans. Too bad, I already saw other boys playing with someone’s feelings and I don’t want to be played by someone. Not today, not in this lifetime.

After making sometime with myself in the bathroom, I immediately change clothes with a cream colored square pants and a simple white shirt, I’m ready to go. I’ll just eat breakfast somewhere; I’ll need to deal with Mr. Craniard later so I need some energy.

When I was about to put my phone in my pocket, a message arrived and I saw Khyzrr’s nickname.

[ Come out now, my queen cold as ice. I’m already here.]

I rolled my eyes with his corny message, really? He’s really serious with the queen thing? That guy’s crazy. So, I just put my shoes on and walked out of the apartment, locked it and walked towards the man leaning on the passenger side of his own car.

“Good Morning.” He said before revealing a pink rose, handing it to me. I looked at him, he smiled before opening the passenger door for me so I obliged. So, maybe this means that starting from now he’ll be the one who’ll open the door for me, huh? Nice, a point for being a gentleman and the rose? I hate pink but since he doesn’t know it let’s just leave it like that, and a for the effort.

“Let’s eat somewhere for breakfast?” He asked so I just nodded, acting like the coldest person ever exist in the whole wild universe. Well, he’s used to my coldness so let’s level it up a bit more. Much colder that before, I think.

While he’s driving towards somewhere, I just stared at the window and I’m contented with just looking at the scenery outside not until I saw a car speeding up to catch up with Khyzrr’s speed and I think that Khyzrr saw it too.

“Let’s start the game.” He whispered but I heard it so with that I grip unto my sit tightly because I think I know what he’s going to do. My mind’s a blur when we’re already passing the speed limit but Khyzrr doesn’t even bother! What the hell’s going on with this man? Is he out of his f*****g mind? What if we’ll die because of his foolishness? We’re like in an action movie film and I hate it!

“Slow the f**k down, Khyzrr!” I shouted, this is getting out of hand! He’s not even listening! He’s even smiling dangerously while doing his thing! I’m getting pissed not until I heard a gunshot and the side mirror on my side isn’t there anymore. I heard Khzyrr’s cursing something so I began to look at him nervously.

“You’ll be safe with me.” He said before I heard a gunshot again, and with that, his car stopped and we got out of it, I’m not in my right mind when he’s dragging me somewhere else we’re there are four men blocking our way.

“Leave us alone!” Khyzrr shouted at them but they didn’t move, instead an old man got out of the car and I looked at him with wide eyes.

“Shoot the girl.” He commanded and with that, he entered the car again and all the men are facing me with their gun pointed on me.

A loud bang stopped my world from spinning as I looked at Khyzrr who’s now hugging me, he’s hugging me to cover my body and take the shot! What an i***t!

“Let’s go!” I heard someone shouted but I didn’t bother to look at them, I’m just looking at Khyzrr who’s now slowly closing his eyes. No!

“Walking dimple, smile for me! Wake up, you f*****g i***t!” I shouted while making his eyes open, no, no, no!

I didn’t know how many minutes or hours had passed but I’m already sitting at a chair and someone’s asking me what happened, I don’t really know what’s happening at the moment already. I can’t think straight! Damn it! All I’m thinking right now is that Khyzrr’s inside the emergency room and I’m waiting here like crazy! I badly want to know his condition right now, my shirt’s covered with blood and I don’t care if I stink or whatever. I just want to know if he’s alright, he f*****g save me from those bastards for whoever’s sake!

“Miss, we’re asking you some questions. We’re police and we need to know what happened, so please, answer our questions.” The police said while looking at me intently, he’s making me feel uncomfortable. I swear, I want to rip his head off from pulling me from my thoughts.

“First of all, I knew that you’re a police, I don’t want to be rude but I just want to be alone since my friend’s inside the emergency room right now. I can’t even think straight right now so just come back when my friend’s already safe, I can’t talk to all of you right now. Please, just leave me.” I answered before wiping my tears away.

Thankfully, they left me alone already.

I didn’t know how many hours had passed because I’m already hungry and I didn’t even eat some breakfast. I looked at my phone and it’s bombarded with a lot of calls from Mr. Craniard and texts from him too. He’s telling us to just resign if we don’t have plans of showing up today. So, I immediately messaged him because I don’t want to lose my job, as well as Khyzrr’s job.

[ Sorry sir, I know that this sounds unreal but we’re at the hospital. Someone shot Khyzrr and I’m waiting for him outside the emergency room. I’m sorry but we can’t really go to work today.]

That’s what I typed before sending it straight to him, this felt really unreal. A few hours ago, he just gave me a rose and we’re just planning to eat breakfast and the next thing I knew is we’re running away from bullets and Khyzrr’s got shot and now I’m already here waiting for him.

My phone vibrated so I checked who messaged me.

[ It’s fine. You’re on the news, we’ll pray for him.]

As I read the message from Mr. Craniard, I felt relieved since we won’t lose a job just because of this. I immediately replied ‘thank you’ to him before putting my phone inside my pocket. And few seconds later, the emergency room door opened, a man in a hospital bed with wheels just came out and the doctor smiled at me, I felt relieved.

“Are you the girlfriend of the patient, ma’am?” He asked, I moved my face sideways before he stated what happened to Khyzrr and he said the best words,

“He’s going to be okay, we’ll just wait till he wakes up. You have nothing to worry about.” He said before he left me there and I searched for Khyzrr’s room.

After a few minutes, I already found it. Geez, he’s really an elite because even without his permission he’s in a very expensive room and when I opened the door, there’s a bathroom, a sofa set and a television. I entered the room and I sat on the chair beside the hospital bed, I looked at the monitor and he’s still breathing, his heart’s still beating and I’m okay with that.

“I don’t know what will I do if something bad happened to you.” I whispered before I planted a kiss on his forehead. He wouldn’t know about it, he’s still asleep.
