It's been a month since I am dating my wife. Sounds wierd but it's true, and I can't be any happier. She is a living breathing angel sent for me. I have come to know a lot about her or maybe everything about her except for the reason behind her nightmares. Whenever she is in scared in her sleep, my mere presence calms her down. The pride, I feel is compared to none other. I never ever felt like this for even her–who shouldn't be named. My feelings for Ava have grown much much stronger than just like and tonight I am gonna take her on a date and propose her. A smile appeared on my face thinking about her.

It was currently 5:30p.m. and I was working on some documents after calling Ava few minutes ago and telling her to be ready when once again my phone rang, Ava.

"Yeah baby."

"Hello..is it Zach, I am talking too."

She isn't my Ava.

"Yes..I am Zack Knight speaking Who are you and how do you have my..wi...Ava's phone ?"

"Sir..Ms.Anderson has gotten into an accident. You shall immediately come to the Brooklyn Hospital." Phone slid down from grasp as I fell down on my knees. Tears pricked my eyes. Ava's accident.

"Hello..sir..sir.." I wiped away my tears and immediately stood up.

"I am on my way." I said and hung up. "I am coming my love."

I drove so fast as I have never before. My eyes were red. I don't want to lose her. Not now. Not ever

Shortly, I reached the hospital and pulled off infront of the hospital. I rushed in through the glass doors and walked by the reception.

"Where's Ava ?"

"Sir, she's in room no. 224."

"Thank you." I said and sprinted towards the room. As soon as I walked in, I saw her. She looked so fragile. IV tubes were inserted in her hands. Her heartbeats were being monitored and she had few scars on her face and arms. I rushed by her side and gently held her hand.

"How did this happen, baby ?" I couldn't hold my tears anymore and they rolled down my cheeks onto her hand.

"She is given anesthesia, Mr. Knight." I turned around to see a lady doctor standing in the door way.

"What happened to her ?" I asked, wiping away my tears.

"She was hit by a car. The couple sitting outside brought her here. As soon as she came back to consciousness. She began to scream and wriggle."

"She was so scared that she damaged her hands from IV tubes." I turned to see the bandage on her wrist. "She was calling out your name again and again." Another tear slid down my eyes. Why wasn't I there when she needed me ? I sat beside her.

"Is she okay ?"

"Yes...she only has external injuries. They will heal soon. Don't worry Mr. Knight."

"Thank you." I spoke, keeping my eyes on the beautiful woman infront of me.

"I want to tell you how much I love you but not like this baby..not like this." I laid my head on her hand and let my tears fall. Later, I called Reece and went to thank the couple who helped her.

"Thank you for bringing her here. Anytime you need help, tell me without any hesitation. I owe you." I thanked the middle aged couple infront of me. They saved the life of one of the most important person in my life.

"Your welcome Mr.Knight."

"Can you tell me, how did she bump into your car ?"

"She came running towards the road and suddenly she was infront of our car. I am glad, I was able to stop my car on time otherwise she might have gotten hurt badly. I am sorry Mr.Knight."

I nodded and walked back inside her ward. She was wriggling and mumbling, my name. My heart twitched seeing her like this. I dashed towards her side and held her hand again.

"Zach...hel..help me."

"I am here...I am here baby...open your eyes....please..." She kept wriggling. I held her arm tight enough so that she won't hurt herself again.

She was breathing heavily and few minutes later, she began to tremble and tried to get up.

"Baby... I am here....look at me."

"Leave me...leave me please. " She cried without even looking.

"Baby...look at me....calm down." She turned to face me and finally opened her eyes. They were glistening with tears. My own eyes were glossy.

"Za..Zach." She finally let her tears out, I helped her sit up straight and wrapped my arms around her. She immediately buried her face against my chest and let her tears down.

"Shh..love..I am here. You're safe now."

"Please don't leave me." She looked so scared.

"Never baby..never." I am never letting an angel like her go out of my life. I hugged her tightly and placed my lips gently on her swollen ones. A smile formed on her lips. My face immediately lit up.

We were in the middle of our love session when the door burst open to reveal very concerned looking Reece and Ethan.
