The night is so calm, the sound of insects can be heard accompanying the cool, calm night breeze.
"Ah.. you're awake."
He saw that his body had been treated.
"You must be confused, right? You look very frail. You have lots of bruises and cuts on your body. You must have been around for quite a while."
He saw the man carrying a bowl filled with medicinal herbs.
"You don't need to worry. It was my niece who brought you here. You are very pale, and also covered in wounds. I was the one who tried to treat you."
As he explained, he noticed that the man was silent but seemed to be looking for someone.
But he smiled and returned to applying the medicinal herbs to the man's hand.
"If you are looking for my niece. Unfortunately, she passed out. Her body is very pale and weak. She is currently resting in her room. You know, even though she is sick, she voluntarily brought you here. You should thank her later. Oh yes. My name is kyle jonathann. What's your name?"
When asked for the name...
"My name.."
Oddly enough, he found it difficult to remember his name. To make matters worse, as long as he was trying to remember, his head suddenly hurt. He was in so much pain, that Kyle had to endure it so he could regain his composure.
After the situation had calmed down, he continued to apply the medicinal herbs.
"You don't need to push yourself. It must be hard because you can't remember your own name. Go to sleep, I'll bring you some food. I hope you will accompany my niece, when you are feeling better. Good night."
Unfortunately, he heard another sound of footsteps.. he guessed that it was from his niece. However, he preferred to pretend not to know about it and immediately went to the kitchen to bring some bread.
He had been sleeping long enough.
He didn't notice that someone was stroking his head.
Until finally, he was awakened by the sound of water droplets which turned out to be the sobs of the person who had helped him.
"Why are you crying?"
Hearing that, she suddenly wiped her tears.
"Ah.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you. Seeing you sleeping soundly after being treated by uncle, reminds me of my family who is gone. Ah.. sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is fiona. Uhm.. sorry because in this village, only my uncle who knows about medicine. Thank goodness my uncle wants to treat you."
Hearing that, he pensive.
This made Fiona confused.
"W-what's wrong? You don't seem happy."
Then..
"You have a beautiful name. But for me.. I can't remember my name. Why do you help a stranger like me? Even though I.."
Suddenly Fiona grabbed his shoulder and smiled.
"There's nothing wrong with helping people even if I don't know you. You must be suffering a lot. I know that. After all, I helped you because it was of my own free will. No need to worry about me."
Unfortunately, she coughed instead when she tried to calm the man down.
"You okay?"
But she calmed down again as if there was nothing to worry about. Until the end..
"Actually, I'm also sick. All I can do is help my uncle even a little. I pray that you will get well and be able to move again, and hopefully, you can remember your name." she said with a smile.
Even though Fiona had returned to her room, he knew for certain that when Fiona coughed, it was obvious that Fiona hid her hand afterwards. Even though it was seen at a glance, he knew that there were bloodstains on Fiona's hands.
(Even though she is sick, but she wants to help me. Why am I so selfish to her. I'm so selfish.)
