The authentic love
XXXII
Chung, who had now returned at home, saw Madailéin in the kitchen. He walked toward her on tiptoe. He put his hands on her hips and she turned to kiss him.
She looked surprised. He went to the bathroom.
- It's your birthday, Chung! Madailéin shouted.
He opened the door of the bathroom and looked at her, smiling. Madailéin approached him, opened her arms and she pressed him against her. He had a painful face.
- You okay? Madailéin said.
- Yes, I think I drank too much, I will feel better just now, "said Chung by closing the door of the bathroom.
She found this curious reply, she knew when he was drunk, and there he did not have his usual tics.
She went into the living room.
- Chung is not going well, "said Madailéin to Sami.
He looked at her strangely. He seemed uncomfortable.
Later, Madailéin joined him very uneasy, because there was too long. She did not know if she must to enter or wait until he comes out.
She opened the door and threw a quick glance. He had his left hand resting on the sink and held his head on the other hand.
- Are you okay? Madailéin said in a voice concern.
- I do not know.
He sat on the toilet seat. He was pale as a sheet.
- You're sweating! Do you want I call a doctor?
- No, it is not necessary, it will go.
At this time, Chung is fell down on the floor.
- Chung! Sami, come! Madailéin shouted.
Sami ran at full speed, by hearing the cry of Madailéin. She was in the bathroom and Chung lying on the ground. He detached his shirt and shouted to call an ambulance.
- Calm down! We'll take him to the hospital, ok?
- No, I'm not okay. What he has? Madailéin asked panicked.
She squatted down and saw blood coming of the abdomen of Chung.
- Oh Lord! What's all this blood. What has he got? What did you do?
- Do not worry, he is strong and it will be on foot within a few days.
He tried to console her with little success.
- What happened? Madailéin asked.
- We were playing pool, and when we left, we heard a gunshot and it's Chung (...)
- Why you did not bring him to the hospital!
Sami called the ambulance.
She squatted beside his body, badly injured by a final attack of the enemy who had fled. She hardly heard his heart beating. Grief and rage overwhelmed her. Under her eyes, she was losing her love.
Paramedics arrived a few minutes later. Madailéin, saw the paramedics him put the oxygen mask. He was still unconscious when they laid him on the stretcher. Sami took Madailéin in his arms and told her she could not go with him in her condition. He had called Saki who went to the hospital to wait for him.
Her legs were shaking so much, she fell on the ground when the ambulance went away. Sami did not know what to say to comfort her.
Sami was installed on the sofa. He looked up and saw her on the doorstep.
- Sami, go home, said Madailéin.
- I think I'll stay for the night. I fear you to do something stupid, kind of walking the streets to find out who shot him. And the one who shot Chung is not a beginner.
- ...
She leaned her head against the wall and let herself slid onto the floor. Sami got up and joined her, taking her hand.
- Do not worry, he will pull through. Do you think he will abandon his Madailéin!
- I do not know what I would do if I lost him!
- Stop saying silly things. Saki is with him. Promise me you will not do anything stupid, said Sami.
- I can not promise you that.
- Hum! Your mother called, she arrives in Toronto tomorrow afternoon.
- What is she doing here?
- See her daughter, he said, smiling.
She did not answer. She was content to look at him.
