Though, Ruihan didn't said anything, shiha noticed his reaction..
Shiha thought.. 'is he injured.'
Shiha walk ahead of him.. And looked at him in is eyes.. "your back is injured, right.."
Ruihan looked at her for a second then he looked away.. "i think we should not go in this direction.. Wolves might be there. Let's change the direction.." saying this Ruihan started walking in the left direction..
Shiha chased behind him.. "hey! You! i asked something.. You must answer me.."
Ruihan ignore her. He increase his speed.. Shiha was left few steps behind.. So she run after him..
She was just about to touch his shoulder .. When suddenly she hit her foot against something.. Because of sudden jolt she tripped over and fell down on her left side.. To get a hold on something she immediately clutch Ruihan's elbow.
However, no one expected the ground beneath her side to cave in suddenly!
It was a trap! The trapping pit to catch the wild animals..
A sense of foreboding overwhelmed her. But it was too late... She fell right into the hole.. As shiha had hold Ruihan's elbow tightly, he lost his balance. He was walking fast and with a sudden movement he lost his foot.. Ruihan didn't get the time to react.
The two fell into the sinkhole together in the end.
Ruihan's back crash against the wall of the hole..
Shiha was the first one to hit the ground. Her head bump into the wall.. Ruihan fell down to the opposite side of shiha. Ruihan too bump his head. He bump into the stone.. He rub his head.. Just as he looked ahead, he was shocked.. The huge stone was on someone's foot.
When shiha fell down, the stone on the side which had hold the trap too fell down with her.
Ruihan immediately looked at the opposite side. And the scene ahead shocked him more.
Shiha was lying there.. Moaning in pain.
He promptly lifted the stone off her foot.
Ruihan was injured too.. But he ignored his pain and crawl towards shiha.
He make her sit.. "hey.. Are you alright.." saying this he immediately checked her wound.. The injury on her head was not that serious. It was slightly bleeding. He looked at her from top to toe.. But she had wore a cardigan that also of full sleeves. He only saw the injury on her head and on her foot..
Her ankle was chafe.. It was bleeding form some place.
Shiha make herself sit properly with Ruihan's support.
Ruihan carefully supported her. He was afraid to touch her. He didn't know, where else she had been injured.
Shiha slowly bend her leg and kept her hand on the injured foot.
Ruihan stopped her.. "don't move.."
Shiha looked at him. She was astonished to see him concern about her. She can clearly see the anxiousness on his face.
She gave a smile and said.. "let me check, whether my ankle is alright or not. It might be cracked inside."
"Do you know, how to check.." asked Ruihan.
Shiha checked her ankle.. While examining her injury she replied.. "yes.. I know.. And let me inform you, i am expert in acupressure. Somewhat like acupuncturist.. And i also know how to fix the bone.. If it is dislocated.."
Ruihan was surprised by her revelation..
Shiha took a breath of relief.. "Thank God, it is fine.. It only chafed.. It will be fine in few days.."
Ruihan too relief.. But then he thought about her shoulder injury.. "hey! What about your shoulder.. Is it fine.."
Shiha kept her hand on her shoulder.. She slightly slid down the cardigan from her shoulder. "i think it is fine. Thank God, i fell on my left side. If i would have fall down on my right side, then by now, my shoulder would have broken."
Ruihan too checked her wound on her shoulder. She was fine. But still she was in pain.
It was deadly cold inside the hole. They both sat besides each other.
Shiha remembered, she didn't get the answer of her question.. She tilt her head towards Ruihan and said.. "you still didn't answered my question."
Ruihan gave a blank look to her.. He knew, his back is injured. But he can't show this to shiha.. She might get worried. It was not that much painful before! But after he crashed his back when he fell into the hole it might have increased the pain.
Already his back was injured, Due to the fall from the Heaven Hills and now it might have increased..
But shiha is a stubborn girl.. "Are you showing it or not.. Otherwise i.."
"what if i say no.. Otherwise what? I don't want to show.. That's it." replied Ruihan.
"it's not fair.. When you want to see the injury on my shoulder, i obediently show it.. Now show me yours. Otherwise I gonna sue you.."
Ruihan chuckled.. "haa.. Haa.. For what.. To sue someone you must need a reason.."
Shiha pout and said.. "Fine.."
Then she thought, how to make him agree.. An idea dawn to her.. "Fine, if you will not show me your wound then i will open the bandage of my shoulder."
She was sure, that this will work.. Because she had seen the concern for her in his eyes..
Ruihan gave a interesting look to her and said.. "This has nothing to do with me.. Its your injury.. It will pain to you not me.."
Shiha gave a sly smile and slid her cardigan off her shoulder. She started to remove it..
Ruihan was amazed by her stubbornness.. "hey! Are you bonkers or what.. Stop it.." he hold her hand from the wrist.
Shiha gave him a questioning look.. "Then show yours. You don't know how stubborn i am.."
Ruihan shook his head.. "seriously, what makes you to get this idea."
Shiha giggle and said.. "because, i saw the concern for me in your eyes..you are worried about my injuries rather than yours. So of course i will worried about your injury.. And you worried about mine. That's called.. Equal-Equal."
Ruihan gave a charming smile.. He slowly opened the buttons of his shirt. Then he gave a foxy smile to shiha and said.." aren't you worried, i might do something to you. We both are alone here, and no will come to save you.. "
For a second shiha indeed get the gossebumps.. Seeing his smile she was astonished..
Seeing her behaviour and her look Ruihan laughed loudly.. "Did you really think.. That i am like that. Don't worry, I am an upright man. I respect women."
Shiha took a deep breath and said.. "i know you are upright man.. But then also one cannot say about one's intention.. And i can save myself.. I said it before, i am expert in acupressure, so i can stop your movements in just one touch. And also if i can fix the bone then of course i can dislocate it too.. " shiha said proudly.
Ruihan somehow feels good hearing her saying this. He gets relief when she said that she can protect herself.
Ruihan removed his shirt. Though it was dark in the hole.. Shiha can still see the prefect body of Ruihan. She literally forgot to take a breath.
Ruihan gave a blank look and said.. "I think you said, that you want to see my back. But you are staring at my abs." he said it so normally.. Like he was used to it. Shiha immediately looked away..
"aahh.. You stop your imagination! I was not looking at your abs! I was thinking something deeply."
"hnnaa.. Its ok! I am used to this answer. I get the same reply when any girl stare at me."
"aahh.. Its your fault.. Who said you to be so handsome.." shiha blurt out.. She immediately regret on what she said.. She shut her mouth and kept her palm on her face.. 'aahh.. Shiha are you out of your mind or what..' said shiha to herself.
Ruihan giggled at her. He really think.. She is different from others.
Shiha took a deep breath and said.. "ahh.. Forget it.. Turn around, let me have a look at your back."
Ruihan turned slightly.. It was dark.. So Ruihan said.. "can you able to see in darkness."
Shiha ignored him and turn on the torch light from the emergency mobile.
The dark hole lit up.
"ohh.. Hey! Your injuries are quite deep." saying this she passed her cardigan's lower part to him..
"here! Help me to cut it." she bend herself slightly. Because the cardigan was still on her body. Ruihan took a small part and tore it.
She slowly cleaned his wounds. "hey.. You are really brave hnn.. You were injured but you didn't said anything."
Ruihan turned his neck and saw her face. She was seriously and with full focus cleaning his wound. She also take care of her force.
Ruihan felt happy.. Then he thought of something and said.." By the way, before also I have said you that i have a name.. Why you keep saying.. Hey! Hey.."
Shiha stopped her movements for a second then continued.. Indeed.. She didn't notice this. Till now they have not called each other's name. They have totally forgot or ignored it. But he noticed it. So shiha said..
"you too! Didn't said my name."
"Ok.. Fine SHIHA! Now i will not say hey.." said Ruihan.
Shiha gave a cute smile. Of course it was noticed by Ruihan. 'Such a cute smile.' he thought.
Shiha slowly cleaned his wound. The he also ware his shirt. And about his coat, he gave it to shiha.
It was cold inside. Shiha was trembling slightly. They are not sure how much time they have to stay here.
"aahh.. You ware it. I had my cardigan." said shiha.
Ruihan ignored her and kept the coat on her shoulder.
Shiha saw this. So she said..
"why don't we share it. RUIHAN."
Ruihan gave a smile. The way she said her name. In the same tone. Which he had used when he said her name.
Ruihan sat besides her. One part of coat was on Ruihan's shoulder and other was on shiha's shoulder. He slowly Kept his hand on her shoulder. She too lean her head on his shoulder. They hug each other.
Ruihan looked at her face and said..
"hmm.. Now who taking advantage of whom."
Shiha remembered her reaction when he did artificial respiration. She thought he is taking advantage of her. And now she herself said him to share the coat.
"hann.. For that i have already apologised.. Okay." said shiha
Then she looked around and upwards.
"i think, we should get out of here soon. Before we die in this cold weather. It is so cold here."
Just then they hard a howling voice above them.
Ruihan and shiha both looked upwards.
They saw two wolves were around the hole.
Shiha immediately hugged Ruihan tightly.
