SCARLETT'S TEARS
EXPRESSIONS

"What's wrong with my husband, Javi ?"

"Alejandro., Scarlett i-is...

Scarlett walked quickly to the room where her husband was. Without thinking about anything else, Scarlett did not care about the others. All he had in mind was Alejandro. He didn't even wear footwear because he was so panicked.

"Alejandro don't leave me" sobbed Scarlett in a quivering voice.

While Javier and Moza run after Scarlett, they don't want anything to happen with Scarlett.

Without a second thought, Scarlett barged into Alejandro's room. Scarlett's body instantly limpened seeing the nurses shaking her head. Scarlett was getting hysterical looking at Alejandro's pale face and stiffened in front of him.

"Alee..." Screams slashed as Scarlett filled the room. He hugged Alejandro's body and burst into tears.

"Alejandro, don't leave me and our son. You wanted this kid so badly, right now he's in my stomach. You have to hang on and see our son Aleee", Scarlett screamed.

The nurses lowered their heads. Javier.

Moza was about to approach Scarlett but her body was held back by Javier. Moza finally locked up his intentions.

"Aleee, I-I love you.

From the deepest trough of my heart, I love you Ale", sobbed Scarlett in a clear voice uttering words of love to Alejandro.

Scarlett hugged Alejandro's body, and leaned her face against the chest that was not shot.

"I love you A-Ale" he said softly and sobbed.

"Is that really Sa-honey ?"

That baritone voice, the voice he had always heard at all times, the voice he had missed so much these few days.

Scarlett raised her head slowly which was on Alejandro's chest wrapped in bandages.

"Aleee, are you alive ? You're not dead ?" Scarlett smelled Alejandro in the face. Get her lips. Scarlett didn't care about everything around her, she couldn't cover her current sense of happiness. He forgot his shame.

The nurses exchanged glances and left the room, smiling at the romantic couple.

Moza hit Javier in the chest. "You had the heart to lie to me and Scarlett Javi, you took a risk that could endanger the situation of Scarlett who was pregnant with Javier", Moza scolded Javier who had made Scarlett very panicked.

"You don't blame me, but blame your brother for forcing me to do it. Though firmly I have rejected it", replied Javier grasping Moza's hand which hit the chest of his field.

Moza wanted to protest Alejandro, but he abandoned his intentions. At the sight of Scarlett and Alejandro kissing affectionately.

Javier takes Moza out of the room, giving their best friend some privacy.

Scarlett opened her mouth letting Alejandro go deeper. Even the tears on her cheeks were still blazing. How not, the one in Scarlett Alejandro's mind has left him.

Scarlett could not express her feelings when she found out Alejandro was still with her.

"Aww, Ahh", Alejandro grimaced in pain while holding onto his wounded chest. When he got carried away the atmosphere wanted to deepen his kiss on Scarlett.

Scarlett flinched consciously and looked at the bandage that had blood on it.

"Alejandro, you're still sick. Your wounds are not dry yet", whispered Scarlett rubbing the face of Alejandro who was looking at her softly.

"I'm very worried about you and my son" Alejandro replied as he gently rubbed Scarlett's stomach.

"You have the heart to make me and your son panic Ale" protested Scarlett considering herself hysterical a moment ago.

"Because I want to know how you feel about me" Alejandro said, gently rubbing Scarlett's stomach with his free hand.

Scarlett smiled at Alejandro's reply. He rested his face on Alejandro's unharmed chest.

"I love you so much Ale, I don't know with my life that you died alone in this world" Scarlett whispered.

Alejandro tightened his embrace on Scarlett's body.

"I will not leave my wife and children" Alejandro replied.

*

In the afternoon..

Alejandro has been allowed to move into the hospital room.

In that luxurious room the susan was very different from Alejandro's previous room.

Now Scarlett can sleep next to Alejandro because her bed is king size .

"You must hold yourself Ale, your wounds have not dried up" said Javier. He knew his best friend had always wanted to be close to his wife. They always kissed happily.

"No problem Javi, I'm healthy now" Alejandro replied.

"Of course I did, you almost died Alejandro. The bullet hit your heart chamber. The operation done on you is high risk" Javier replied.

"I won't die that fast" Alejandro said with a faint laugh.

"You're always a bitch after making everyone freak out you're like nothing's happened" Javier replied.

Scarlett and Moza arranged their dinner on the sofa table.

*

A week later..

The day that awaited also came, Alejandro was already allowed to return home. Even though he has not recovered one hundred percent, it still needs intense treatment.

Still required to rest not allowed to work.

The thick bandage still wrapped his chest.

While his right hand can not be moved perfectly because it is still supported by a sling. The hand still hurts when straightened so that its position must be bent to reduce its pain.

Samuel pushed Alejandro's wheelchair into the hacienda. Scarlett, Moza and Javier.

While the workers were welcoming him outside the hacienda, the happy-looking look of everyone saw their master had recovered. Last week the workers were overcome with anxiety after learning Alejandro was critical. They endlessly pray together for the health of their master. Alejandro is indeed very close to the people he works with .

While Paul and Ana and the servants welcomed her inside the hacienda.

"Welcome back young master Alejandro" Paul said respectfully. Followed by others as well.

"Thank you uncle, I'm happy to be in the hacienda again" Alejandro replied smiling at everyone.

"Alejandro you have to rest, you better go straight to your room" Javier said.

"Yes Javi, Sam. help me in the room" Alejandro said.

Alejandro slowly assisted Samuel, standing up and climbing the stairs.

The night was getting late, Scarlett had her body in Alejandro's arms.

"Alejandro, I'm sorry for protecting me you finally got shot" Scarlett said softly as she rubbed Alejandro's arm around his neck.

"I will definitely look for you to the ends of the world though" Alejandro replied.

"You don't turn on Moza, I forced her to accompany me to the city. I want to surprise you about my pregnancy, Ale", Scarlett said, sitting in her arms against Alejandro.

Alejandro looked at Scarlett and rubbed her pretty face.

"Are you very worried about me, hem?", asked Alejandro.

Scarlett nodded her head confidently.

"I love you with all my heart, Ale", he said softly as he lowered his head.

Since marriage Scarlett has never shown her feelings openly. It was as if there was a sense of stability to express his feelings.

Alejandro smiled at the expression of Scarlett's love feelings that have always been heard these days.

Alejandro took Scarlett into his arms and kissed her forehead gently.

"Scarlett, when did you buy that wooden doll?", asked Alejandro pointing to the sculpture he had on the nightstand he saw last Sunday.

"When we visited the souvenir center in London. I bought it two, for you one and for me one" replied Scarlett.

"Oh yeah, but I only saw one, where's the other one ?

Scarlett sat down and took the two sculptured dolls.

"This is yours, which reads Scarlett Alejandro. While mine says Alejandro Scarlett. If it's dark, every side will emit light" Scarlett replied, extinguishing all lighting in the room. For the sculpture to emit its light. And it is true that the sculpture is emitting light.

Alejandro pulled Scarlett and gently kissed her lips.

"I love you, baby. I miss you so much" Alejandro whispered in Scarlett's ear. He cradled every inch of Scarlett's neck.

"Ep.. A-le not now, you still hurt your wounds haven't dried up. Wait a few more days".

Shitt..
