Isha’s heart pounded in her chest, but she understood the gravity of the moment. She could sense the danger looming closer, and she had to act. As the two men drew nearer, she instinctively wrapped her arms around the man, trying to provide him with some semblance of support.

“Stay calm,” she whispered, her voice steady despite the chaos around them. She could feel the warmth of his blood seeping onto her skin, and it fueled her determination to protect him.

The two men stopped at the entrance of the alley, their eyes scanning the shadows. “Did you see him?” one of them growled, frustration evident in his tone. “He couldn’t have gone far!”

Isha’s mind raced as she tried to think of a way to divert their attention. She leaned closer to the injured man, whispering, “What should I do?”

“Just keep pretending,” he replied, his voice barely a whisper. “If they think we’re... together, they might leave us alone.”

With that, Isha took a deep breath and pressed her lips against his again, this time more deliberately, trying to convey a sense of urgency and protection. The men outside the alley watched, their expressions unreadable.

“Come on, let’s go,” one of them muttered, clearly frustrated. They turned away, leaving the alley behind.

As the sound of their footsteps faded, Isha pulled away, her heart racing. She looked down at the man, who was starting to lose consciousness. “You need help,” she said urgently, her voice trembling.

“I’ll be fine,” he replied, though his eyes were beginning to flutter. “Just... get me out of here.”

In that moment, Isha realized that her journey on Earth had taken a dark turn, and she was now entangled in a dangerous situation that would test her courage and resourcefulness in ways she never anticipated.

Isha’s heart raced as she carefully helped the injured man to his feet, supporting his weight as they made their way out of the alley. The urgency of the situation propelled her forward, and she focused on getting him to safety. As they reached the hospital, she felt a mix of adrenaline and confusion swirling within her.

Inside the hospital, the bright lights and the sterile smell overwhelmed her senses. Isha approached the reception desk, her voice steady despite the chaos in her mind. “I need help for my friend,” she said, her eyes darting to the man who was now leaning heavily against her. “He’s hurt.”

The nurse at the desk quickly summoned a team, and Isha watched as they rushed to assist. The moment the medical staff took over, she stepped back, her mind racing with thoughts of what had just transpired. The kiss, the blood, the danger—it all felt surreal.

As the doctors wheeled him away, Isha found a quiet corner in the waiting area, her heart still pounding. She leaned against the wall, trying to process the whirlwind of emotions flooding her mind. Who was he? Why had he been attacked? And what had she just gotten herself into?

Despite the chaos, Isha reminded herself of her true purpose for being on Earth. She was here to learn about humanity, to understand their struggles and joys, and to strengthen the bond between her people and humans. She couldn’t afford to get lost in the whirlwind of emotions surrounding the injured man, no matter how compelling he was.

Taking a deep breath, Isha closed her eyes for a moment, centering herself. She had to focus. This was just one encounter, albeit a dramatic one, and she needed to stay true to her mission. She had a year to learn, to grow, and to make a difference.

Just then, a voice broke her concentration. “Excuse me, miss?” A nurse approached her, concern etched on her face. “Are you with the patient who came in? We need to ask you some questions.”

Isha nodded, standing up straight. “Yes, I’m his friend. Is he going to be okay?”

The nurse offered a reassuring smile. “He’s stable for now, but we need to know more about what happened. Can you tell us how he got injured?”
