I felt horrible when, I saw his eyes wet because he no longer could handle the hotness.
I just want to stab that bitch multiple times all over her body making her feel the pain bit by bit.
How could she do this to Arthur ? Just because she wanted to tease me, she made me hurt Arthur; knowingly !
I went to him immediately and tried to soothe the burning it caused him.
After calming down he tried to console me as I was crying my heart out. I felt very guilty for hurting him.
But what hurt me the most is, he didn't even kissed me ! He did wrapped his arms around me and pressed his lips on forehead and just let go of me !
Maybe he doesn't wants to start being cosy with me just yet. Ofcourse, who am I kidding ? Nothing changes overnight.
Let it be, let's focus on work right now. And thank god he too needs to go to work and it's not just me or mama would have killed me for going to work the very next day of wedding instead of honeymoon !
Though, I badly want to but I can't.
I got ready and went to our camp after hell lot of convincing my mother-in-law that it's something really very important and I can't avoid it and that's why I have to go.
I just can't imagine what hell have Arthur faced after mom followed him to Victor's room after giving him hell infront of everyone saying,
" I am not saying anything just because your wife is here or else I would have told you ! "
And she even tried to ask him why was he going to Victor's room instead of his; our !
But he changed the topic by provoking her even more to yell at him for leaving for work.
I finally reached there and met Ace and coach told us about our next mission. This wasn't anything big or long one.
We were just for a backup this time. We just have to catch the dealers red handed while the drugs exchange was gonna happen.
We went there with the others and strictly prohibited from speaking with the others in our team as our identity might be in danger if, someone remember our voice.
Ace and I were allowed to communicate though.
We waited for the deal to start and when they got the stuff we attacked them. We though there were only 50 men but we didn't expected them to have any backup with them.
They got 100 men as their backup and we were only 50.
Ace and I decided to go after the dealers who were running away with the drugs and let the others handle the situation until our backup arrives.
Ace and I went behind the dealers and fought with them. The men with the dealers were heavily built almost like monsters !
Ace was having a hard time handling them. Poor him. He laughed at me when I chose the thin needles as my weapon !
I just poked them effortlessly and they were laying dead on the floor within seconds !
Ace looked at me and nodded his head thanking me for saving him, I nodded back and ran towards the dealer who was trying to escape, as Ace was busy fighting with the other.
I ran to him and kicked him on his leg and stumbled on the ground. I went to him before he could get up and was about to grab him by his collar when, he swung his knife cutting my palm deep.
I hissed at the sensation and jerked my hand a few times and then grabbed his neck in my grasp.
He was already bleeding and was panting hard from running. I tangled his hands and legs and grabbing them hard sat on his back restricting all his movements.
Our backup came and took that bastard with them.
We reached our camp and reported to our coach. The doctor at our camp dressed my wounds and asked me to come change the dressing every two days and if, i can't go there, i must take someone's help and do it.
After my treatment was done I changed onto my home clothes and returned home.
I was wishing nobody should notice my cut and bandage on my hand as I don't know what to tell them ? How did my hand got the deep cut ? What exactly was I doing in my office ?
Luckily, nobody did. I changed into the palm long sleeve t-shirt and shorts. I was in my room as it was way too late for lunch and way too early for dinner.
I was feeling hungry though. I didn't had my breakfast as my guilt ate me alive for hurting Arthur and then because of the dealers, I couldn't even have my lunch !
Arthur entered in our room with snacks in his hand along with cold drink. He even had noodles with him.
" You hungry ? "
He asked sitting beside me and setting the tray in his hands on the table beside him. He got the noodles and snacks bowl infront of me and urged me to have it.
How does he knows I was hungry ? Did he noticed my wound ? Is he here to confront me about something ?
When I didn't took the snacks, he looked at me in confusion.
" Um... are you on diet ? "
He asked confused.
" N... no I am not ! I am just... I don't know what to feel right now. I mean... how do you know I am hungry ? "
I asked amused.
" Um... oh that ! It's nothing baby. I know you didn't had your breakfast today and I don't know if, you had your lunch properly so, I thought I should feed you now as, there is still time for dinner. "
He said picking up the banana wafer and held it infront of my mouth expecting me to eat it. I ate it and realized that my eyes are getting wet.
I don't wanna cry but his this small gesture and concern and attention made me weak for him.
I just don't understand what's happening ?
He is concerned about me, he cares for me, he thinks for me then, why isn't he staying with me ? Just why the hell ?
And he isn't even telling me what's wrong and above that, he is behaving like everything is good between us like a married couple !
He then fed me the noodles with the chopsticks and I was so shocked. I can eat with chopsticks but can't feed someone else with that ! And he is so skillful that he didn't even dropped any veggies.
After the snacks he sat beside me and we were talking on random topics. It was so peaceful to talk to him.
It all came naturally to us. We didn't need to dig the old topics or scratch around the same topic just to avoid the awkwardness. It was easy as breathing.
Everything was perfect but then, suddenly his eyes got fixed on my hand and he cocked his head in confusion and grabbing my arm he pulled my injured hand to him.
" Why is so... oh my god ! What... what happened baby ? Why is there a bandage on your hand ? Did you hurt yourself ? Oh my god, it must have been painful ! "
He said scared to death and panicked at the sight.
" Oh, actually I um... someone accidentally bumped at me and I tripped. So, to save myself from falling on the ground, I placed my hand on the table and didn't realised that it has sharp edges and so... "
I said trying my best to lie. I am sure he won't buy it.
" Oh ! Be careful love. Don't hurt yourself. I can't watch you in pain. Let me dress it for you. "
He said softly caressing my wound.
His behaviour shocked me. How can he believe that I didn't saw the edges of the table were sharp ?
And what table has sharp edges ?
Let it be, it saved me and I am grateful that I don't have to lie anymore.
" Um... actually the doctor got it dressed and asked me to change it after two days or go to her. "
I told him the truth.
" Ok fine. I will dress it for you then. Don't worry I know basic first aid. "
He said smiling.
" I am sure you do ! "
I said playfully patting his back and he hissed in pain and arched his back to get away from my touch.
" What happened ? "
I asked panicked.
" Um... nothing just... got into a fight with my friend and he pushed me on the wall and so... it got cut... "
He said shuttering.
What the hell ? Got a cut by bumping his back on a simple straight wall ?
Let it be, I shouldn't ask him how is it possible ? Even he accepted my unbelievable story. And I shouldn't dig my own grave !
The work I do involves risk on every single step. And I am sure I am gonna get uncountable cuts and wounds in future.
I should be at peace with him not asking me how is that possible, at my stupid stories as, I can't lie very well.
" Can I have a look ? And I can dress it as well. Even I can do the basic first aid ! "
I said smiling.
" Well, right now it's alright doctor have treated it. You can change the dressing after two days ! "
He said smiling.
" You got the tetanus shot right ? "
We both asked together and laughed nodding yes.
