Heal My Heart

2.Long..Long..Long..Night

I cut the wound in my patient's arm carefully and cleaned it with the medicated water. And applied for the secret medicine over his wound and put a bandage.

It took nearly five hours of collective effort and finally I could get his pulses to a steady level. And he started to breathe on his own without the support of breathing pot. I felt overwhelmed and my arms were in so much pain that I could barely move them. I just fell into a chair nearby.

"How is he??" the arrogant brother asked

"He is getting well, he is now out of danger," I told, closing my eyes for a second.

This arrogant stranger is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my entire life, he actually looks like a Greek God than a normal human being. Even though he is soaked in blood and dirt his handsomeness is dictating. Then the cut on his sculpted handsome face came to my mind. I opened my eyes to look at him. He was hovering over his brother and gently caressing his arm.

Seeing his soft side actually made my heart warm. Still, he was covered in blood, I wondered how many other wounds he may have except the one I saw. I actually should be ashamed of me as a healer how I ignored his wounds.

"Sir I think we have to look into your wounds as well" getting up from the chair I said.

"No need," he said without even looking at me.

"You may be a great warrior, and you may have the courage to bare all the pain. Still, in my treatment house, I am the only warrior and I insist on treating all the people who are wounded" I said gently going towards him.

He turned around and hold me from my shoulder and stared into my eyes. What's actually wrong with him, why he just have to hold me from my shoulders each time he talks to me. His hands felt so warm and so good on me, my whole body shivered from his small touch.

"Doc I thought you are just a little girl, but you are much capable there is no doubt in that. Still, you know who am I, I am the warrior everywhere I set my foot no exception to your little treatment house" His grip on my shoulders became even more tighten. I could feel his warm breath on my face.

"I don't know who you are sir, but you can be the warrior if you prefer that, still I insist to look into your wounds" I murmured keeping my head down.

"you really don't know who am I??" he asked, his voice was full of surprise.

"How can I know you, you didn't give me a proper introduce"

"Even none of your people here know who am I??"

"I am not aware of that sir, as you could observe, I didn't get any chance to even talk with my people. And also we are all from this small village sir, we have very less contact with the external world, therefore, I don't think they know about you"

"So you just saved my brother's life without even knowing who am I?" he kept his index finger under my chin and made me look at him.

"I am a healer sir, I don't want to know who you are to save a life," I told calmly looking into his hazel eyes. Those eyes were like a storybook, you can just keep on reading all the emotions hidden under them, at this moment I could easily say his dominant emotion was the pain, he was in so much of pain.

"So can I now look into your wounds, sir?" I asked trying to get my self free from his.

"Since you saved my brother" He sighed and released his grip.

"BTW I am Edward and this is my little brother Ernest," he said turning away from me and looking to his brother.

"Nice to meet you sir even under extreme circumstances, And you may already get to know I am Arya"

He didn't even look at me. I didn't get any kind of response from him actually. Arrogant!!

"You may first take a shower, sir, Laya!!! Laya!!!" I went out of the treatment room calling Laya. My heart was beating faster, his touch made me forget my patient and the danger my tribe about to fall in to. It's not only his handsomeness made me feel these alien emotions, but there is also something, something about him hidden inside this arrogant, dominating nature.

After some time he came back from a bath. He was just wearing a long pant, his muscular chest was on full display, it was so hard not to look at his firm abs, oh my God he got 8 packs. I saw how all the girls including Laya was drooling over him appreciating their view.

"Enjoying what you see??" he came to me and asked in a husky voice.

"Oh my what's wrong with you Arya, why you are just staring at this arrogant stranger's chest like a hungry little kitten, you are a healer remember that"I blamed myself

"You may lay here sir so I can look into your wounds," I said without even looking at him.

He laid down in the treatment bed next to his brother. I cleared his wounds on his face and arms then applied for medicine. Cut in his forehead was deep, it could get infected so I had to pay more attention to that and put a bandage around his head.

"Arya" Laya shouted suddenly right behind me just after I finish with his bandage.

I turned to see Ernest vomiting purple color liquid, sudden fear ran down my spine.

"What!!! You said he is out of danger"Edward was cursing me.

"Phill hold him tight" I shouted and ran towards Ernest.

"He was not conscious Arya... Suddenly he started vomiting " Laya told her voice was breaking.

"Calm down everyone I got this," I said confidently and started to press earnest's stomach which made him vomit even more.

"What the hell are you doing, he is in pain can't you see" Edward was shouting and cursing.

"Sir please let me take care of this I know what I am doing" I started pushing his stomach even harder. I didn't know from where I got this confident, maybe deep inside me, I knew he was not fully recovered, I expected him to vomit, all those poisons.

After like half an hour he stopped vomiting and got back to sleep. I checked his pulse, it was steady, and most importantly he is conscious now even though he is not strong enough to open his eyes.

Taking a few wet clothes I cleaned his body myself. And massaged his whole body with medicated herb packs. This went for nearly 2-3 hours.

"Arya it is 2 am right now.. you didn't have anything after yesterday morning... you are not strong enough continue like this... let me continue the massaging. you may go and eat something" Laya told gently touching my arm.

"Its ok Laya I am not hungry. Hope all our people including you had something to eat.. Ah I forgot Sir you also didn't have anything to eat " I turned to Edward who was standing by the bed looking into his brother worriedly.

"I am not hungry" he groaned and looked at me, his face was filled with anger.

"Are you angry with me because I said your brother is ok and then he started to vomit all of sudden?" I asked.

"Doc this is not about you. I will kill whoever the person did this to my brother, I swear I will cut them into pieces. all of them whoever involved in this " his palm clenched and his face turn into something that I cannot even express.

This is all about me!!! Edward, This is all about me and my people, it is just a matter of time you get to know. My heart filled with fear and I couldn't even continue my work my hands were shaking.

Still, I have to do my best, I have to save him not only because of I am a healer but I am also responsible for what has happened to him, even though I am not aware how all these happened.

Suddenly I heard some noises outside treatment house and those noises developed to screams and curses.

suddenly the door to treatment house is opened and a soldier invaded my little treatment house bearing all the weapons.

"What's going on. this is a treatment house you can't enter here like this" Phill shouted and try to block his way.

But the soldier just pushed him down and few other soldiers started following him to the treatment house.

"Sir, may I know how can I help you" I walked in their direction trying my best to stay calm.

Suddenly they all kneeled down.

Before even I try to figure out what is going on, A tall figure in shining amours entered the treatment house and he bows in my direction  "We found you finally, Your majesty!!!"

My heart stopped for a second to see how Edward walked passing me towards the soldiers

Then all the soldiers started shouting "Long Live the King!!!! Long Live the KING!!!!"

"I beg your pardon as we took so long to find you two... Hope everything is fine your majesty!!! " the tall figure said coming towards Edward and bowing his head again

I couldn't even believe what I was witnessing, I just rubbed my eyes a few time. Maybe this is just a dream, I may have fallen asleep. But I was not, unfortunately... The Handsome, arrogant and demanding stranger Edward is truly the KING...

I felt so weak and I couldn't feel like I can stand on my feet anymore. I hold the metal column right behind me for the support and rest my head on the icy cold metal.

This night is so long...long..and long and long it is just not going to end.. I closed my eyes
