Chapter 1081 - Two missions at the same time (6) (2/2)
…
In the hotel…
Nala extended her hand toward Melodie. ”Your phone…”
Melodie frowned, but she gave her cell phone to Nala.
Nala turned it off and asked. ”Do you have any other device that connects to any network?”
Melodie said that she doesn't.
”Tomorrow you will get new identity and new devices.” Nala gave a bag to Melodie. ”Here you will find a change of clothes. You can shower and rest. In about two hours more people will come and then we will decide when we are leaving this hotel.” Nala gestured toward the door which connects two suites. ”We will be on the other side. If you need anything, let us know. Don't call room service or anyone else.”
”Yes, yes…”, Melodie responded while looking inside the bag with clothes.
Nala was happy that all this ended well. She left Melodie and headed to the other suite where Haru is.
She found him in the living room. He was removing his blazer in slow movements.
”Haru!”, Nala exclaimed when she saw that his left sleeve is stained with blood.
She didn't notice anything before, because he was wearing a dark blue blazer but blood on the white fabric is impossible to hide.
”Let me see…”, her voice was full of concern, and her expression as well.
She swiftly unbuttoned his shirt and took it off. She sighed while looking at the cut on his triceps. It is not deep, but it's wide. Like he scraped clean a piece of his skin with a layer of the flesh under it.
”It's just a scratch.”, he assured her.
”A scratch? How did you get scratched?”, Nala paused when the realization hit her. ”The gun.”
She wanted to scold him for not telling her that he was hurt. Her mind raced with grim possibilities, what if that man aimed better? He could have killed Haru. What if Haru didn't leap to the side? Nala decided to leave all those questions and scolding for later.
”Don't move. I will get the first aid kit…”
Nala cleaned the wound, applied medicinal cream and put a bandage over it.
During the whole process Haru didn't make a sound. He observed her with a dreamy smile on his face.
”How is that?”, she asked when she finished.
”You are beautiful.”, he murmured.
Nala was not in the mood to enjoy the compliment. ”Can you be more careful? What would I do if it's more serious? What would I do if…?” She could not make herself finish the question.
Haru pulled her to sit in his lap and wrapped his arms around her. Nala leaned on his chest and sighed.
Haru felt that her shoulders are trembling, and he tightened his hold on her.
”I'm sorry.”, he said after some time. ”I saw him pull a gun at you, and the only thing on my mind was to distract him. I didn't think about the possibility that something might happen to me. I only wanted you to be safe.”
Her heart cracked a bit and swelled from the emotions at the same time.
”If you want to take care of me, you need to take care of yourself first.”, Nala said.
”I am sorry for worrying you. But if I can do it again, I would not change a thing because if you got hurt…”, Haru sighed. ”If he shoot me and I died, I would have one regret… How I never told you that I love you.”
Nala's head sprang up, almost smacking Haru in the chin and she looked at him with her eyes open wide. ”Say it again.”
His smile reached his eyes. ”I love you, Nala.”
She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder.
”I love you too.”, she whispered. ”Don't you dare die on me. Because I need you by my side, to watch over me.”
He closed his eyes and smiled while holding her body tightly pressed against his.
