.THE STRANGER WHO SAVED MY HEART

The Man Behind The Silence

Rose could not sleep that night

Every time She Closed Her Eyes, she saw Him

She still Remembered The Way he had look at her

Not whit pity , but a Strange Kind of understanding

Has he could see the Pain she Spent years Hiding from everyone.

But there was Something about him that Frightened Her.

Not because he had done something wrong

Because he seems to know to much.

The Following morning, Rose stood Besides her bedroom Window

Watching the City Slowly Come Alive .

People hurried along the street, sound of the morning filled

the air.

Yet Rose felt Strangely alone

She touched the small piece of paper Sherry has given her.

there was only one sentence written on it.

She read it again and again .

why me?

she didn't know that Sherry had been asking himself the same question.

A cross the City, Sherry sat alone inside quiet Café staring at old

Photography, that showed a young woman smiling besides little girl

Asking himself repitetile a very same question.

it could be her?

did I really found her

the life gave me a second chance to do what is right?

I promise you my love, this time no body will hurt you again

because I will live only to protect you.

His fingers trembled slightly has he touched the picture

For years he had carried that photograph whit him.

he had waited for so many years

And now, after all this years, he hTad finally found her.

But Rose didn't know the truth

She didn't know that their meeting not been an accident

It had been the beginning of something Sherry has promised someone long ago.

Something that could destroy both their life if the truth comes up soon.

That afternoon, Rose went back to the place where she had met him.

she told her self, she was only going there because she need the answers . but deep inside, she only wants to see him again.

The place was almost empty.

She waited for a few minutes

Then just as she was about to leave , she heard a familiar voice

Behind her.

You came

Rose turned

Sherry was standing there.

His expression was calm, but his eyes carried a sadness , she couldn't explain.

"You knew I would come ? she asked.

"No" he replied softly, I hoped you would.

Rose stared at him.

who are you Sherry?

For several second's he said nothing

The he looked away

I'm someone who should have found you many years ago

Rose's heart skipped.

What does that mean?

Sherry took a small breath

There are thinks about your past that you don't remember.

Her face became pale.

"My past?"

"Yes"

And you know about it?

" I know more than I should

Rose stepped closer.

Then tell me.

Sherry looked into her eyes

" I can't. not yet".

"Why"?

"Because if I tell you everything now , you may never forgive me

Silence fell between them.

Rose felt tears gathering in her eyes .

She didn't understand why a stranger could make her feel so safe and so fraid at the same time.

"Did you saved me that night because you felt sorry for me?

She whispered .

Sherry shook his head.

" No Rose"

"Then why?

He looked at her for a moment.

Because I promised someone I will never let anyone hurt you.

"who"?

Sherry's eyes filled with emotions.

Before he could answer, his phone rang,.

He looked at the screen.

His expression immediately changed.

Fear.

Real fear.

He answered.

“Hello?”

A voice spoke on the other end.

Sherry listened silently.

Then his face turned completely pale.

Rose watched him carefully.

“What happened?”

He ended the call.

For the first time since she had met him, Sherry looked truly terrified.

“They found you.”

Rose's heart stopped.

“Who found me?”

Sherry grabbed her hand.

“We have to leave. Now.”

“Sherry, you're scaring me!”

“I know.”

He pulled her gently toward the door.

“And I'm sorry.”

Rose looked at him, confused and frightened.

“Sorry for what?”

Sherry stopped.

He looked into her eyes as if he knew that whatever happened next would change everything.

“For bringing you back into a life you were never supposed to remember.”

Outside, a black car slowly stopped across the street.

The window lowered.

Someone inside was watching them.

And Rose had no idea that the stranger who had saved her heart...

might also be the only person standing between her and the people who wanted to destroy her.
