    Episode-289 The King got shot”            Alisa’s POV:     I am working, yea, I will always work, this what I live for, I enjoy my work life even when I get super busy…. Today the boutique is relaxed, everyday it’s hectic but today we are under less work, but it’s good because someday the staff also needs some relaxing time. They work hard, I treat them sometimes but a slow relaxing work day hits differently… Tina walks in and passed me the new collection, we are planning launch the new collection soon, we finalized the design, then we will start the work process…, but I am not in mood to see the file, I will check after wards..I said  to Tina as I got up, “I am ordering coffee,,, what do you want…” Tina said as she sat in front of me, “usual…” I ordered the coffee and we were just  discussing the things like we were supposed to do,.. the other important things in this boutique… we are always like this, sometimes we are only into being friends and sometimes we get extremely professional.. or we can be both anytime… I can understand we both love this work more any other thing.. we grew this dream of ours together and be both are proud of us and this boutique…    Few minutes later, we were having coffee… we were done with the work, so now we were having best friend time… Tina was telling, “Noel…. Said he has a girlfriend…” I laughed and looked at Tina who looks done.. I said, “he is just 8 years old…” well., kids now-a-days are smart..over smart….    Tina made a straight face and said, “yea.. exactly..” she took a deep breath and said, “he has a classmate… they are friends and my boy thinks he has a girlfriend… isn’t it funny…” I laughed.. well that really funny but cute.. he thinks he has a girlfriend… Noel, is really cute boy… but I am sure Noel will be a good man when he grows up, he listens well and knows good and bad… I think Noel is a good boy and he will be good man when he grows up.. if someday he had a girlfriend then she would be really lucky to have him….    But Tina seemed to be still angry about this, Tina said with bit of anger, “I am done with my kids…” I just laughed.. well mine are not easy to handle but I have lot of help while Tina does all by herself… and I understand she finds it hard.. her mom take care of her kids when she is working … but rest of the time Tina takes care of them all by herself    We were busy with our self when  I heard the news on Tv…. My eyes widen… the announcer was saying, “the king just got shot in a public conference…” Edwin… Edwin got shot…. I got up in fear and panic… I turned to Tina and said, “I have to go.. can you please pick up Ernest and Alexis and drop them to Edwin’s mom..=” Tina nod.. and I ran out of the building asking the driver to drive to Edwin..    I am in fear and panic, he got shot… and I am worried,, please nothing should happen to him.. Edwin must me safe.. he must me safe… I cried the whole tried, this fear is making me lose every bit of my control and patience.. I can’t lose him…  I just can’t… what will I tell kids if anything happens to Edwin…     After like more long… really long 30 minutes I was in the hospital.. … this is the longest 30 minutes of my life.. every second was killing me.. I wanted  to go to him as fast as I can.. and the time was like stopped ticking…     The guards showed me the way to the room.. Edwin was sitting there his arm was bandaged.. I was in tear I rushed to him, I instantly checked on him and made sure he was ok… he was looking at me and trying to stop me from panicking but how can I not…. I was worried to death..    I touched his cheek and asked through tears, “Edwin.. you ok…. They said you got shot…” Edwin wipes my tears as they are not stopping from falling..   He said reassuring me in calm voice, “it’s fine… I didn’t got shot…”  I looked at him, my mind went to rest knowing he didn’t got shot..    Ken who was there said, “yea… Edwin didn’t got shot… the attack happened but the attacker missed the shot…and Edwin just got injured my glass while he moved back..” my heart was at relief.. I don’t know what I was going to do if anything would have happened to him.. I would have just died in pain.. nothing can happen to him.. he is my life..    But a question rise in my head, I asked Ken, “who attacked Edwin?”    Ken just answered, “it’s nothing someone.. just someone of the opposition.. well will handle this like we did for years… nothing to worry..” I turned to Edwin and then reassured me saying, “the person was not good at shooting so.. I can tell it’s nothing to worry.. anyways Ken will dig in and I will make sure nothing bad happens further..” Edwin was telling all this with confidence.. and I feel like he is right.. he will handle things..     Ken walks out of the room, I grabbed Edwin’s hand and asked, “are you sure?” Edwin nodded, he placed his hand on my cheek and said, “yea.. trust your husband beautiful…” he smiled..     I hugged him and said, “I thought for a second that I lost you.. I thought I was about to die in worry… please be safe.. please for me.. I won’t survive if I don’t see you with me.. please..” I felt his arm tighten around me.. he hugged me more, I felt his hand around my head.. he whispered, “hey.. it’s fine.. I am here.. nothing will happen to me.. I promise..” I just want to stay in his embrace for now.. it feels like I won the world after these minutes.. I thought I lost him and now I don’t want to let him go.. he is fine that’s what matters.. I don’t want anything to go wrong…    We both went home after an 2 hours…… I helped Edwin, he just have a minor cut on his arm, but bandages are there.. what are we going to tell kids..   I walked in and saw kids were playing with their toys. Edwin mom was with them, as we walk in Edwin’s mom came and hugged Edwin. Edwin mom said, “thank god! you are fine…” Edwin smirked and said, “I am your son.. these stupid thinks are nothing.. we have seen worst than this..” she nodded but I know this is not something anyone should joke around.. and the person who attacked is not related to nothing serious, he just got drink and was angry with the government to came and attacked Edwin.. he passed the security somehow.. I mean we saw the cctv camera..the person sneaked in from the back door of the building.. Ken warned the security to work properly.. seriously there mistake led to this mess. And the media made the news big by saying King got attacked… so I really don’t think it is much of a problem.. Edwin told me not to worry because Ken was going to handle this very well…like always..     Ernest and Alexis are watching us, I looked at them and smiled lightly, I don’t want them to be affected by this.. I don’t want them to go through this pressure.. Alexis ran to us with his small feet, I smiled.. Alexis rushed to Edwin and looked at his injured hand and then at me.. I am worried.. I am really worried, his innocent eyes are confused and maybe somewhat scared.. because I am.. I am scared what will I tell him if he asks about Edwin’s wound..    Alexis asked, “Dad… did you get into fight?... does it hurts..” he asked all innocently holding his hands to his shirt… he is nervous too.. I can feel it.. my baby is going through all of this despite being young..   Edwin sat to Alexis level, so he was face to face to Alexis.. Edwin smiled lightly and said, “no.. it’s just dad got clumsy.. dad is strong..” Edwin messed Alexis hair playfully.. I internally sigh.. maybe he will believe this..   I heard Ernest saying, “yes.. dad is strong and I know he will win even if he had a fight.. he is the King..” I smiled internally.. he is more understanding and stronger than me.. maybe because he is a kids.. I hope he stays like this.. I looked at Edwin who took Alexis hand and then walked to Ernest and said, “yes.. I am.. so are my boys.. will you help dad because my arm hurts a little,,” Ernest nodded slightly, he said, “ok.. I will dad…and I am stronger than Alexis..” I spotted Alexis complaining over this comment.. I chuckled pushing my fear behind.. they are all happy because they are kids.. they  don’t worry like us for no reason.. I wish I could stay like this..    Edwin mom rubbed my back to comfort me, she is still here.. every time she knows how I feel, what I am worried about easily, without words.. I smiled and said, “I am fine..” I looked at her and added, “the investigation says there is nothing serious.. I asked them to increase security…” Edwin mom nodded, she hugged me once more and said, “ok.. I will leave… it’s late already.. call me if you need.” I nodded.. she left..   I walked upstairs when I got my dad’s call, he must have heard this news.. the reporters spiced the news for more viewer.. it is nothing that serious.. I answered the call and explained everything to dad, so he won’t worry. Well he is worried about us, who won’t…   I walked in our room, the kids are already near Edwin, they are helping him out. I smiled, Edwin didn’t asked for much of a help but the kids are giving him water and stuff.. I saw Ernest dashing out of the room, I was surprised, I noticed Alexis was pouting again, he is angry. I asked, “what’s the matter baby?”   Alexis said with a pout, “Brother when to get the juice alone.. I want to help..” I chuckled and walked to him, he is too cute. I sat beside him and Edwin was on the other side of the bed… I explained to Alexis, “Baby… just don’t tired dad and then he will hell up quickly.. anyways your dad is strong right?” I asked with a smiled, but I am still concerned about Edwin’s injury..    Alexis nodded and his big eyes are shinning.. I smiled at myself.. no matter how hard the day is, I find it easy every time I  see them.. my family they make me complete.. in the end bad days don’t count when you have loving family like this..     Past Midnight,      I woke up in sweat, I was in fear and panic and almost screamed. I grabbed my hand close to my heart as I still remember the nightmare clearly, I saw Edwin getting shot in a press conference.. in between all those people, he got shot and  blood was flowing out of his body, he was lying in pain in the place.. I am scared really scared…   I realized the lights went on and I looked at Edwin who is looking at me in concern, I grabbed his cheeks and observed him from up to down..   I can hear him calling my name out in confusion. Btu I continued to check on him after I was done and sure everything was just fine and I just had a nightmare, I cried out, “thank god! you are fine..”    I was in tears, I noticed his eyes look at me as he can sense my fear, he pulled me into embrace and said, “shuu.. I am fine.. nothing can happen to me.. I will be with you…” I sink into his embrace more as I am still in tear, holding him is real so… he is fine.. really fine..     I whispered, “don’t leave me.. I will die…” he hugged me tighter so I could know he is right here. he kissed my forehead and never let me go off his arms.. no matter how serious or not so serious condition is.. you still fear to lose the person you love most.. because your heart and mind can’t take that.. the person close to you makes you happy, but fear of losing that person is horrible.. the pain and panic is beyond explanation.. I can’t explain, how I feel relaxed as I realized he is here.. nothing has happen to him.. it’s like the moment you realized you can’t breathe anymore and suddenly someone saves your soul form the demon of fear and you are breathing again..
