The sick man’s sickness!!!

Brian woke up when he felt the touch and warmth of human hand. He opened his eyes to see the woman so close to him that he can feel the warmth of her body and the hot air she exhaled. She had a long beautiful black-brown hair. Her big brown eyes were deep and beautiful whereas her face had a hint of innocence but she looked mature and confident. Before Jerika could go away, Brian grabbed her hand in fear to lose the opportunity he got so easily. He did not wish her to go and there was something he just feels it and it was his sudden reaction for no reason when he grabbed her hand when she was trying to go away.

Jerika took it as a sudden surprise when Brian grabbed her hand. Jerika tried to get away from Brina but Brian did not let her go. He strongly gripped her hand. Jerika tried to get out of his hold but Brian was stronger even when he has been in coma and under lot of sedatives. He was much stronger. Jerika panicked. She naturally scared for her life. She felt the terror, running through her veins, spreading to her entire body, frightening her. She screamed for help but she was stunned when Brian started yelling too. What Brian was screaming was more shocking than any of that happened before.

"Help… (Jerika said lowly)….. HEEEELLLLLPPPPPP (Jerika screamed her lungs out)" Jerika called for help.

"I found… you…. (Brian whispered to Jerika) YOUUUU… I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO…. YYYYOOOUUU (Brian yelled)" Brian said to Jerika stunning and all other hospital stuff people which gathered inside the room. Some people tried to help Jerika but Brian stood strong. Brian had only one focus that is on Jerika. He was looking at Jerika without blinking a single time. It was both intimidating and intense. Jerika was scared of Brian's green deep eyes. They could be anything, beautiful, intense, whatever but at that time they were piercing Jerika's soul and her mind. Jerika could not think straight at all. All she wanted was to get away from that man who had her hand in his clutch. Brian was increasing his hold with every passing moment and it was causing immense pain to delicate hand of Jerika. Other people were still trying to release Jerika from Brian's hold but as Jerika was freed, Brian jumped to grab Jerika's wrist, twisting it making Jerika wincing in pain.

"LEAVE MEEEE…." Jerika cried.

Daulat entered the hospital premises and saw that there was complete havoc. He went straight to the Brian's room. People were standing forming a group outside the Brian's room and they were all peaking inside. Above all there were voices of struggle and yelling coming out of Brian's room. He recognized one of them, it belonged to Jerika. Daulat ran inside making his way through the crowd and he saw Brian grabbing Jerika's wrist in not so friendly manner and Jerika crying in pain and fright. Some people were surely trying to help Jerika but they were not having much success. Daulat without wasting any other minute took out his knife and cut the Brian's arm. Brian flinched in pain and released Jerika. Brian holds his arm and before he could do or think anything else, doctor and nurse gave him a heavy dose of sedative, knocking him down.

Jerika saw the man who just attacked her sleeping peacefully. He still looked angry and tormented but then so was Jerika. Jerika did not understand what just happened. Daulat took out knife and wiped the blood from it. Daulat as trained to be a fighter and it as his job to protect Jerika. He was ready to do anything for that. Even if he needed to kill Brian to protect Jerika, he would not have blinked his eye in doing that. Daulat placed his knife back inside his jacket pocket. Daulat saw Jerika looking very disturbed. He went close to her and placed his hands over her shoulder to support her.

"What happened?" Jerika asked looking at Daulat. Jerika was taking to no one in particular. She was herself wondering and trying to figure out what just happened and why did that happened.

"I don't know. He is a sick man. Maybe his sickness reached his mind" Daulat said. He knew it was not the time to joke around but he had no good explanation and he had no care for it too.

"He said, he found me and he will never let me go" Jerika told Daulat remembering the exact words said by Brian when he grabbed her hand.

"Rika he is sick" Daulat said.

"Or maybe he knows. He knows what I did" Jerika said fearing the worst for herself.

"He can never know that and you did nothing" Daulat tried to explain Jerika but Jerika was quite shaken from Brian's reaction seeing her.

"But…" Jerika tried to say something but Daulat did not let her jump to any ridiculous conclusion just because a man is sick and having trouble to act in his surroundings because of his sickness.

"I need you to remember that you did nothing… anything at all. And besides all that, you helped him, made sure he gets the best treatment. It is you because of which he is well and alive" Daulat said to Jerika.

"What if he learns what I did?" Jerika asked in fear.

"How will he ever learn that? It was an accident for god sake" Daulat again tried to explain Jerika.

"But I caused that accident. I am the reason he is here. He fell in coma because of it and now he threatened me and tried to attack me. I am sure he knows" Jerika said. Jerika was quite adamant that Brian was angry because of the accident and he knows about it all although it could not be sure how he knows all that exactly but that was the only reason Jerika could think of for such a behavior.

"So what? That was an accident. It was not like you meant that accident to happen, do you?" Daulat asked Jerika. Jerika remembered that dark night when she hit Brian from her car. She was feeling all sort of emotions that day and rage was one of them but she did not caused that incident intentionally. She even did not know that man. Why would she try to hurt him or kill him?

Jerika gave no response. That day was very difficult for Jerika and nothing had been right after that. Daulat waited for Jerika's response but she was lost in her thoughts. Of course Daulat knew that it was all an accident. He was the first person Jerika called when the accident happened and it was not Jerika's fault altogether. Brian came out of nowhere in front of her car. Jerika was very upset that day and she was in spoiled mood. Her car was speeding too but she did not hit him intentionally because if she had then she would have told Daulat about it. It was later; Brian's connection with Zion was revealed. Jerika had been taking care of Brian since then.

"You need some air. Let us get out from here. The smell in here is not very pleasant here" Daulat said to Jerika and took her out from the hospital room.

Daulat took Jerika outside in a part. Jerika was still shaken from all that. Daulat gave her water which Jerika readily took from him.

"You know why I came here?" Daulat asked Jerika.

"Yes… because you knew you will found me here" Jerika said knowing that Daulat came for her and that too on right time. If he had not been come here then Jerika was not sure how things would have turned up with Brian.

"And why is that?" Daulat asked Jerika. Jerika looked at Daulat after taking a sip from the bottle.

"Why indeed?" Jerika said lightening her mood by raising her one of the eyebrows.

"I have good news for you. Actually from you father" Daulat said with a smile making Jerika relaxed as she believed that she knew very well what good news Daulat did have for her.
