A nobody.

In the woods, by the bank of the river,

"Huh! Who is this little girl?"

"Who cares about that boss? She is so pretty!"

"Oh! Boss she is hurt!"

"Who cares if she is hurt or not. We can have our share of fun!"

*rustle*

"Who is there?"

A man wearing a black cloak appeared from behind the tree.

"Move! What are you planning on doing to a hurt girl?" He sounded so annoyed at those thugs.

"Who are you to care about it? This girl looks pretty. We will have some fun with her." The boss of those thugs shot back at him.

"I am warning you! If you don't leave while I am being nice, then you might all just die!" The man in the black cloak threatened them.

"Huh! Try if you dare!" The boss of those thugs and his underlings charged towards that man with their swords.

In the blink of the eyelid, those three thugs fell to the ground dead without any signs of blood.

The man in the black cloak, walked towards the wounded girl and carried her back with him.

...

"I wonder how Ira is doing... I hope she is not hurt or anything.... *sigh* Ira..." Shiv just cannot take her out of his mind. He was so worried about her that he constantly kept thinking about her.

"Shiv... you need to take care of your wounds... Come here." Aditya couldn't help but to look after Shiv. He had been absent minded for some time now.

Even though they saved those villagers, which was a good thing, they were not able to find Ira.

"Don't mind me. Take care of them. There are a lot of injured people in here. I can manage!" Shiv sounded so stubborn.

"You! How can you manage on your own? Are you a doctor? Look! I can understand that you are very worried about Ira... but still you can't ignore your body!" As he said Aditya pulled Shiv by his arm and started to treat his wounds.

"You should be on your best health, then only we can go and take her back. If you are like this, who will be leading us. Take a look at those who trusts you and relies on you. Don't forget who you are. We will definitely find her! Don't be sad Shiv." Aditya tried his best to convince and comfort Shiv.

...

After 5 days...

"Oh... you are awake now.... finally!"

"What? Where am I? Ouch! My head! It hurts like hell!"

"Take it easy now. You have been asleep for 5 days now. How did you get hurt that badly? If I haven't treated you on time, you might have been in trouble."

The man in the black cloak, explained to her, as he gave her some medicine to take.

"Who are you? Why did you help me?" Ira was very confused with his hospitality.

'Why am I still in the past? I thought I might have gone back home!'

"Well... consider it as a social service. You were lucky, I was in a good mood that day, so I helped you! But isn't it a common courtesy to thank someone who saved your life? What a rude girl you are!" As he said, the man removed his cloak, revealing his beautiful face.

He was so beautiful that one could easily think of him as a woman. He had grey eyes which matched amazingly well with his red hair. He had a strong and sturdy body. He looked tall, almost the same height as Shiv!

"So beautiful.... I have never seen any man as beautiful as you!"

The man stared at her as if looking at some random idiot.

'Did I just save a stupid human?'

'Oops! Whats with that look! Damn I was thinking out loud just now! Ira, you have gone crazy!'

*clears her throat*

"Well... thank you for saving me. I owe you one!"

"I see... you are still a human with some basic courtesy. Though someone got to remind you!"

'What a rude guy! He is getting on my nerves!'

"What is your name? Why were you lying on the woods?" The man asked her.

"Isn't it a COMMON COURTESY to introduce yourself before asking about others?" As she said, Ira was laughing victoriously inside.

'Damn this little....'

He frowned a bit, "I am Abhinav. A medic."

Ira blinked blankly at him, "Is that all?"

"What more do you expect?" He answered indifferently.

'Oh... then I will play your way!'

"I am Ira. A nobody!" She flung her arms in the air.
