Being grateful or retreat

Those with innocent faces are the most evil.

'Ouch' i groaned in pain, he mercilessly repositioned my dislocated bones. 'You are doing it on purpose..' I blurted, without being conscious.

'Purpose?' he laughed. 'I told you madam, it would be  painful.' He said and gently smiled, and added further 'gently move your ankle...' he asked me. I meekly did, cautiously.

'Does it still hurt?' he asked.

'Slightly!! When I move... like this' I answered, flexing and extending my ankle.

'Okay, i got it... don't do it, it would hurt you. And apply cold compression twice, it will help you and don't give too much strain.' he advised me.

'Thanks, doctor.'

'It's my pleasure... for the sake of apology, I can drop you to your home.' he asked.

'Well, my father advised me to be cautious of strangers, it was already great of you to help me with this. Thanks once again, but I cannot...' I gently replied for the first time.

'As you wish... Take this card, you can come to my clinic, if you have any problem.' he meddled.

'Doing advertisement!' I murmured.

'Sort of...' he replied. He listened!!

'I didn't mean it...' i giggled. He was staring at me. 'you have good hearing.' I blurted.

'i would not charge you.' He said.

'Neither you should, it happened because of you.' I blurted.

'Accepted, miss... So, what brought you here?' he asked politely.

'Don't know, perhaps destiny,... do you believe in destiny?' I asked.

'yeah, sort of...'

I had forgotten everything, for that moment, not realised about the dangers awaiting for me.

'You should be going so, Doctor. Your patients must be waiting for you.' I asked.

'I have already done my duty... Thanks for your consideration.'

'You doctor charges a lot.' i commented.

'Is it so? Becoming a doctor is the outcome of the hard work of the years, i have studied for 12 years....for becoming this, miss. It's about life, miss... It depends upon doctor... I would say, charging wouldn't be wrong as long as you are treating with correct protocol and not corrupting them for the sake of money.' He clarified.

'Sound reasonable, but what about the patient who cannot afford the treatment?'

'Doctors are there for them, like me.'

'Do you do free service?'

'Not exactly... Depends upon the patient.'

'Oh. I see. Not bad... It was nice to meet you. Thanks for everything. Then i should be moving so.' i said, I needed to go.

'Have a nice day ahead. Then I'm moving so.' he moved towards a car. I was looking at him in bewilderment and awkwardness. There was stillness for the moment.

'Find that girl' someone shouted, the voice seemed familiar,.... it was of that guard...

'Wait' I shouted and limped toward the doctor.

'Yes.' he asked.

'Can i go with you? I can't walk like this and I don't know people here.' I asked him hastily. He looked at me surprisingly, after a great thought.

'Sure.' He opened the door and gestured for me to go.

'Thanks' I moved hastily, to prevent myself getting in trouble again, I sat in the passenger seat. Putting on the seat belt. He sat in the driver seat and looked at me.

'What?' I asked.

'Where do you wanna go?' he asked.

'Where do I wanna go!! Home...' I murmured.

' Sure, location miss?'

'Location, I don't remember...' I stammered.

'Not be precise, tell me your father's name. I would ask someone for his location,' he asked patiently.

'I don't remember.'

'your name?'

'don't know, I mean it must sound uneasy, but I don't remember anything now, ...kind of lost memory...You are a doctor, you might have seen such cases, I need help.' i clarified, he was staring at me with bewilderment.

'Don't tell me that those guards are looking for you?' he asked me. I got choked. For the moment all I wanted to avert the tragedy by hook or crook method. He waited for the answer

'If yes...' I replied with a lot of guts.

'You can confess.'

'I haven't done anything wrong.'

'Do you believe, I will get you arrested!!' He threatened me.

'I hate to be threatened the most.' I blurted with guts.

'I appreciate your confidence, but you should fear evil.' he taunted.

It seems the world has planned to be against me, they did every possible wrong with me. It felt like crying all alone in despair in this ruthless world filled with insecurity and pain.

'Do whatever you want... I will not ask for anything and I will do whatever I want.'

'You are weird..'

'i believe so...'

'i'm speechless...'

'So what do you plan?'

'Take you to the palace for interrogation...' he took out his phone and called someone. 'Found a refuge, you need to interrogate with'

'Do you believe I'm gonna sit and watch!!'

' I don't.' he taunted. And all of a sudden, he gave a hefty strike to my neck and I fell unconscious....
