Chapter 5

Sasha was sitting in her Cabin, in the hospital when The nurse barged in.

"Doctor, there's a guy, with blood all over his body.. He says he only wants to be your patient.. " The Nurse said panting.

"Okay, bring him here then.. " Sasha said and put her thing aside.

The door opened and a guy with a black hoodie on and a cap came in and sat down.

"How can I help you? " Sasha asked.

He lifted his hoodie and removed his cap.

"Sid..? " Sasha gasped.

"I.. I was afraid last night.. I wasn't able to sleep.. and.. I did these to me.. " He stammered in every word he said.

Sasha got up and quickly took out her tools to bandage his wounds.

Some wounds were clotted while there was still blood flowing through some of them.

"Ishh.. " He took a breath in as you out the cotton on his waist.

"It would hurt a little " She said and bent down. She slowly move closer to his waist and then started blowing the wound as she applied cotton.

He looked down at Her, her face was glowing with the light that came in through the window. And her lips, who were curled up in a pout to blow the wound were looking like little rose buds. She looked up as she felt a stare in herself, only to see That Sid was looking at her. For a second, Sid and Sasha were looking at each other's eyes and then Sasha got back to her work.

"Does it still hurt? " She said as she was bandaging around his waist.

He only nodded as a No and then looked away.

His face was somewhat red on his cheeks.

"Kid, are you sure you got hurt only because of Your Sleeping issue, these wounds seem so perfect, like done by a professional. He knows where where he should hurt so that the mind diverts.. " Sasha said and stood up.

"I have been doing this for years.. " He slowly murmured.

"Then, who bandaged you before.. These scars.. They are there because the person who did it before was totally worst" Sasha said pointing towards his waist.

Sid looked at his waist and then realised that he was still holding his hoodie up so that jis whole abdomen was visible.

He quickly let go of it and then gulped.

"Don't worry Kid, I see patients daily" Sasha chuckled.

She came back towards her seat and then sat down.

"So tell me, why only me..? " She asked again.

"Well, before.. My mother used to do it.. When I was child.. And then when she.. she died, I did it myself" He said.

"Where are your Father then..? " Sasha asked reflexively not even looking back at the Guy sitting in front of her.

"He doesn't care.. " He said and Sasha looked at him. Even after knowing that she is using him to get through her target, her eyes still filled up with some pitty.

"I don't like pitty" He said again.

"Don't worry, I don't do pitty on people" Sasha said and poured down the water in the glass. She pushed it towards Sid and he gulped it down.

"So, Yesterday also, the medicines didn't helped.. " Sasha said taking out her Notepad.

"I ate them, I was still afraid in the night.. At last I slept but only for three hours, because after that I woke up suddenly and fear overcome me.. " He said and let out all the breath he was holding in him.

"Okay, let's think about something you like.. " Sasha said and stood up.

"There might be something, something which you love, which gives you peace of mind.. " She walked back and forth the room, "Something which can help you feel that you are not alone and you should not fear while sleeping.. "

"I have nothing to love" He said and Sasha raised her brows.

"What about your Mother..? " She asked.

"She is gone too"

"Is there something she left behind, as a memorial or maybe.. " Sasha asked and sat on the table, facing Sid.

"Here, this" He said and took out the locket from his neck.

Sasha took it and opened it. There was a picture of him and A lady, which seem to be his mother.

"When did she die..? " Sasha asked.

"When I was 10" He said.

"From when are you having sleeping phobia? " She asked again.

"When I was five.. I was okay when My Mother slept with me, but then the days she was not there, I harmed myself, and then the next day she used to bandaged me.. " He sighed.

"Why.. um.. do you think there are any reasons you felt that your sleeping may cause harm to you..? or maybe your mother.. " Sasha said and he looked up to her. His eyes were somewhat teary but it looked like he was controlling them.

"I.. I feared.. " Sid stammered.
