Arranged marriage. He blames her family for his sister's death. He married her for revenge. He blames her. He hates her. He hates that he loves her. He wants to hurt her. Until he failed to protect her.
He: Why did you do that? Why did you sacrifice yourself to save me? Why did you take the bullet that was meant for me?
She: Because you have your family. Because you have your revenge. Because you have something and someone to live for. And I have nothing and noone to live for. But I have someone to die for.
She: I'm not asking for your permission. Yet, I want to ask you for something.
He: Everything you want, I'll do it. Just stay with me.
She: I want you to try one day to forgive me for what my family did to you. I swear I knew nothing. I found out when you told me. I hope one day for you to believe me.
He: But I DO believe you. I am the one who must ask you for forgiveness. I was wrong. I did horrible things. Yet, you never said a word. You took all my poisonous words and hurtful actions without complaining. But it wasn't enough for me. I wanted you to suffer.
She: Then what changed? Why do you sound like you care for me.
He: Because I do care for you.
He: Don't talk too much. Soon the ambulance will be here. We'll talk when you get better.
She took one last breath and said:
A tear escaped his eye and fell on her lifeless face.
Because she was already gone... 🥀
