16 Chapter:16 - A chance

(Freddie POV)

"Take my hands Jasmine"

I was hanging with the wire in the air and I was unable to.go down there so I called Jasmine out and offer my hand to her so I can grab her with my hands in my arms and take her out of there. although the situation was critical and risky, I need to take a chance to save both of us. but I was scared, first I need to calm down my fear and don't let any mistake happens. as we wee in the situation where anything can happen especially the concrete blocks she was standing might lose its balance and she could fall down and crushed beneath of it.

"look at me, Jasmine. down look anywhere else."

I can see her fear too.

"Listen to my voice only. focus on it. I promise I will take us out of the situation."

she was unable to speak to me. due to fear. but somehow my heart feels like she was begging me to listen to her inner voice which was calling for help.

"take me up."

her eyes tell me it's time to let her out of this trouble.

I grabbed her soft hand and pull her up to my chest and grab her waist so she could not fell down. she was so scared that as soon as her body came near to my chest her arms were automatically wrapped around my neck and she hugs me tightly. it was the moment I can sure she feels safe in my arms.

"Caption, pull us up now."

the men pull us up and rescue us from the disaster site. but before that, they asked if anyone else there in with her. or she was alone.

"Are you sure somewhere?"

the rescuer asked. her well was quite fragile.

"no... I'm fine"

"Are you able to tell me, I'd any other people or person down there with you?"

"I haven't seen anyone down there I was alone."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

they asked all the necessary details form here and take is to the rescue centre.

"Are you all right Jasmine?"

I asked in a humble and polite way.

"I'm fine. you don't need to worry about me."

it was a moment of silence after that few words. I was hoping to take more to her it was my heart's desire. but aren't able to speak more to her after that accident happened to her. I was thinking it was not the right time to start a conversation with her and also it was better to let her keep silent and gather her thoughts for a while. but even though this silence, the aura around her tries to speak something too. but as I speak it wasn't the time I couldn't say a single word before I confirm myself with the word that I should deliver carefully. but somehow her inner voice let it out of her mouth. and...

"Freddie, I was so thankful that you can for me today."

"Hmm"

I was not expecting her to speak too quickly. so I was not prepared with the words. so I keep that 'Hmm' sound stuck to my mouth. and only nodded my head as an understanding yes.

"When I was stuck there I was so scared, scared enough to death. I thought this was my last. I'm gonna die today. without having achieved any goal in my life, like a useless fellow."

"it ok Jasmine, I can understand. you don't need to mention how scared you are."

(I can possibly read your terrified face at the moment I saw you at the scene.)

"I thought what happens if I die of suffocating today? what happens if I can't make my self out of here today?

my mom left all alone by herself. she would cry, cry a lot. the pain she was buried in her heart might get burst out, that, she was hiding the time after we lost our dad. all we left was us as a family. so I was trying to be a good daughter of my mother and was working hard, so I wasn't a burden to my mom. the one that tries really hard in studies and making myself a person who can earn money and help her mom. make her mom feels proud of her daughter. I was trying all these all the time by myself. my goal was to find a suitable job and free my mom from the burden. I was focused a lot in this, that I can't make time for myself and the others that I loved. maintaining both professional and private world isn't an easy task but I was willing to do that. but somehow I messed up. this was the main cause of breaking off my previous relationship. as soon as I realised that I am not capable of maintaining both. my priority shit toward the work. because I have a mom to take care of. so I let my heart left with no Mercy and closed the door.

I knew it was not easy to be the person with a close heart, but, I try.

I thought I can keep the door of my heart closed in order to avoid pain. I thought it was a good idea, but I was false about that it makes my heart starving for love more. it causes more destruction than keep it safe."

"😟"

(Jasmine POV)

When I see his face today "Freddie" my heart felt a little relief. I wasn't sure about it. what was it? and I'm trying to figure it out myself too. if it what we all called "zing" I'm truly blessed. I don't know when I let Freddie reach inside my heart

but,

I'm sure,

from now on, I'll

open my heart for him.

"what do you mean?"

"Freddie, I own you my life."

"that doesn't necessary."

"I mean to say. look it is difficult for me too. but I should probably let my past go and I should move to the future in order to get a better life.

I'm thinking of letting the shut door of the heart to open up once again."

he was looking me with his confused eyes like he was, he doesn't understand my words but was willing to have an accurate answer from my mouth.

"I will try to open my heart to you. it may take time. I don't know how much. are you still going to wait for it?"

his answer was

"Yes, I do."
