>Your wound is open, which might create some complication later on. ” Kizy said.

”No no.
I can ’t let you do this for me.
I will apply it on my own. ” Joel said, shaking his head vigorously.

”I am a doctor. ” Nina said.

”Still- ” Joel was about to refuse when Nina simply pulled his injured hand, not waiting for Joel to reply.

Nina carefully tended to his wound, cleaning it up before, applying medicine and covering it up.


Joel just looked at his wound and sometimes at her.
This was the first time in the past two years, when someone else was treating his injuries, or taking care of him.

Whenever he would be sick or injured, he never had anyone to go and complain about.
He will eventually have to clean and dress all his severe injuries on his own.

Thus it felt different to be treated by someone.

While Nina was trying to do everything to take care of him.
If not for her, Joel wouldn ’t have received the bullet.

Today, a lot of things were happening which were too much for her to take.
Kizy and Markus being something more than what they were showing, her kidnapping, all those firing and shooting sounds, and lastly a bullet that could have pierced her.

Though she was calm, strong and mature, she wasn ’t expecting something this extreme.

Remembering all those scenes from before, Nina felt emotional, a single tear flowing down her face, landing on Joel ’s wrist.

”Hey! Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere? ” Joel asked, panicking because of the sudden tears.

But the next moment, Nina started crying even more, tears flowing non stop, while she was still dressing for Joel ’s injury.

Joel, didn ’t knew what to do and pulled his hand back, making Nina lower her head and wipe her tears.

”Are you hurt somewhere? What happened? Why are you crying now? ” Joel asked, not knowing what else he was supposed to do.


”I..
I am..
sorry. ” Nina said between her sobs and started crying more hard.

”Why..
What are you apologising for? You didn ’t make any mistake. ” Joel said, confused over what he was supposed to do.

”Yo..
you were injured..
injured because because of..
me.. ” Nina said, still crying.

”No no no.
I was injured because of my mistake. ” Joel immediately replied, not knowing that this would be the reason why Nina was crying.

”No.
You…
were shot..
instead of me. ” Nina said through her sobs.

”No.
I was injured because of my mistake.
I wasn ’t able to dodge it properly.
And this is not even painful.
Why are you crying? ” Joel said, trying to console her.

But Nina just kept crying, not knowing that the man sitting beside her was already used to these gunshots and wounds, treating them like nothing.

She was still crying when she felt Joel place his hand over her head, before bending a little, so that he was on her level.
