The girl grimaced in pain . The pain was deep . She sat on the dock . She was already this weak and the second bullet was too much for her .
She wanted to curse that child but how could she do that? After all, it was 'his' child .
She opened her mouth to breathe . But her lungs were betraying her due to the pain in her shoulder .
She was sweating heavily and because of excessive loss of blood, she started to turn pale .
The sky was full of red clouds . It looked heavy and gloomy . There wasn't a single star or any part of the moon . Even if there was, it couldn't be seen .
She looked at him . He was about to start the engine . But her vision wasn't clear . Everything was a blur .
She wanted to live . She wished to live happily in this beautiful world . She had yet to see so much more . She had yet to learn too much .
She hardened her jaw . She had to get to the boat .
Bang! Bang!!
Just when she started to get up, the third bullet was shot, aiming at her left leg just below her knee .
The fourth bullet was missed .
The pain she was feeling was unbearable . It was already hard for her to get up and everything began to see seem fuzzy . She coughed and spat out blood . Inside of her mouth tasted metal .
She understood one thing . They would hunt her down even if she survived . Because of her her most beloved person was about to get hurt today . If it continued, how many of those close people to her would get hurt because of her?
That's when the rain started . At first it was slow and then it gradually became heavier . It felt like the sky was weeping because of her misfortune . In this cold night, such heavy rain made her whole body freeze on the spot .
Then and there, she made a decision . She wanted to scream in agony . It wasn't a physical pain but an agony of the heart .
With her last remaining strength, she silently cut the rope of their boat . She could hear the footsteps . They were coming .
Broom!
As the boat started, the distance between the boat and herself was getting larger and larger .
Then the man looked behind and his eyes opened wide . There was disbelief written all over his face .
But he couldn't move . He was rooted on the spot .
She was on the dock, tired and all bloody . She looked forlorn and miserable .
She smiled at him . It wasn't a rueful smile but a smile full of blessing . As if she wanted to tell him, 'I am sacrificing my life for you . So you better live happily .
She noticed that everything was becoming blurry and dark .
Before she could process anything, she was suddenly hit hard on the head .
Time stopped around her and blood was covering her face . Before she lost conscience she smiled at him and in her heart she said,''Farewell, my love . "
After that everything became pitch black .
Then her lifeless body fell on the dock and her blood made another river in Milan city .
