After recovering, Ella decided to go back to work and face everything that has been set up for her. of course Noir was the one who supported her and encouraged her to do so. She took a deep breathe and stepped in the hospital. passing through the reception, she could still hear people whispering. she felt a bit tensed and nervous. It was all going to start again, she thought. she was getting anxious on those gazes. just then, some one grabbed her hand from behind. it was warm. she quickly looked behind. it was Noir. he squeezed her hand tightly to ensure that he was with her and that she did not needed to worry. she smiled at him and was relived now . In fact, she thought that nothing would have been better than this except for Noir to have held her hands at such crucial moments. she felt really blessed for the very first time.
They began to walk together . though people were still gossiping but now she was not stressed as she could feel the warmth of Noir`s hand. suddenly a group of some junior doctors burst out in front of her. one of them said grinning,
" You really are too shameless, Huh!. I mean don`t you have any dignity to show your face in front of every one again. After all that, do we still have to work together with a shameless person like you." they all were nagging her and making all sort of drama to humiliate in front of every one . Of course, Kate was behind all this. Ella had realized it but she could not say anything in her defense she could only watch Kate smiling behind with joy....
"That`s enough!. You guys have no right to insult some one like this. when you don`t know about the total truth you have no right to judge about it. Gossiping and spreading rumors, Don`t you have anything else to do except all this idle talks. stop blaming others and look in your own collar first." Noir said quite fiercely and loudly. It was Ella`s first time seeing him getting this angry. A person who was so kind and calm always was in such rage now just for her. Ella`s eyes got filled with tears. has she ever been this special to someone before, she thought.
Just then Jayson also came from behind, who had understood the situation. " That is right. exactly don`t you guys have anything else to do and tell me is there anyone of you who has never done any mistake in your life. are you guys some sorts of saints." as he said this everyone fell silent with guilt. of course none of us is a saint actually , everyone have some past sins and mistakes that they have done and no matter how much they try to run away from them they still have to face the consequences one day.
" Hah!" Kate smirked. " Really, I have to say this miss Ella that you really are a expert to make everyone fond of you and stand for you after all this. I really don`t understand what you have done to doctor Noir and Jayson that they are defending you like this."
"That`s enough! miss Kate.' Noir said angrily and then he continued in quite different tone from earlier. it was like it wasn`t him, as he replied back smirking "Oh! right. miss Kate. you.. I don`t know about anyone else but if my memory serves me right, aren`t you the master mind behind all this and also responsible for all the previous incidents related to miss Ella."
" What! ? how can you blame me like that without any proof." burst out.
"Proof you say, well if you want me to show you the proves then I have them all with me right now. you know I am a man that fights a battle fully prepared."
"W...What do you mean by that?" she said confused and also somewhat worried as if someone had caught her red handed.
"Here is the proof of every frame work you have done against Ella. there are full videos of your while plotting every thing. recording of your conversations and every thing else. and about the character thing. Do you thing you have any right to say something about others character when you your self are a even worst person. ?" he said firmly.
"...." she was silent now she did not had any thing to say in her defense. it was just like she had fallen in her own trap.
"What? Why are you silent now? Did cat got your tongue? Or have you finally realized that in how much water you are in? " Noir asked her, but she was still silent. she was keeping her head down. as the tradition of this world, now every one everted their interest towards Kate instead of Ella. the same way they had despised Ella they were doing it to Kate now.
Ella, who had been seeing all this quietly and was quite shocked at Noir`s behavior just now finally said, "That is enough everyone. you guys really don`t leave anyone alone, do you ? First it was me and now you have diverted you interest to Kate now. you people are really something to ruin ones life as you please. please just stop it already .Please!" she shouted.
" And Noir, Thank you so much for all this. I really appreciate your efforts but I really don`t wish to create a scene here. you know if I had wanted to do this I had done it pretty early as I had many chances but you know why I did not do so?," she held his hands and looked at him while he silently watched her to continue,
"Because I didn`t wanted anyone to suffer from the same thing that I have. As I know quite well how it feels to be tormented like this. I have got a quite experience about all this you know, so I did not wanted anyone else to experience this horrible feeling. I just wanted to save someone from the cruel hands of this world just like you saved me." she was grasping his hands tightly while smiling at him. he was a bit surprised but then he smiled back to her as usual.
"Ha! Haha!" Kate started to laugh. "you really are something Ella, after making a joke of me in front of every one now you are trying to act nice by defending me like this. you really are a disgusting person. and I hate you even more now" she shouted at her.
"you have misunderstood me. I am not defending you .In fact, I don`t have any interest in you, I am just trying saving a person from the cruel hands of the society as I fell responsible to do so. and about the hate, You know what?. I hate you even more for all you those things you have done to me so far but still I have never thought bad of you because I am no like you at all".....
