The man I saved

I was so scared. I don't know what to do. I can't see the face of the man in front of me but I know that I need to help him. I am familiar of this path.. The one who were looking for him was a little bit far. I guide him at the hell near our village. There was an abandon hat there and can be a place where I can treat his wounds.

When I started to to help him to walk I smell his sent. It was so pleasing that I wonder how does he looks like. He is so devastated that I can hear it in his breath. "Bear it Mister we are near to the hat. Please don't fall as sleep. I will help you but you have to help yourself too. Stay awake, stay with me." I said with a frightened voice. I was afraid when someone looks like dying.

"Thank you Miss. I will never forget your kindness." He said in a low voice. I see his little smile but can see his face clearly because of darkness. Maybe he is a good looking guy. Oh why do I think about his looks.

When we arrived at the place I started to clean his wounds with the help of the light coming from the moon. He has a wound in his shoulder. That's the reason why he bleed. it's no ordinary wound. It comes from a bullet, I can't just let it be. I draw out the knife from my bag and alcohol to sterilized it. 'how can I removed it? I never been able to take it out.'

"Miss I know you were afraid, it's okey I can bear the pain. it's not deep. I was just exhausted because of my long ran and long fight with those guys. Just take out the bullet and it will be fine." says the man.

Am I that easy to read? I take out the bullet slowly and carefully with the army knife that I always carry in my bag. And sterilized it with alcohol. I need to keep his wound bandage. I remember that there is an guava three outside. I get some leaves and grind it with a stone and put it on his wound. I use my handkerchief to serve as bandage.

I clean everything when suddenly I hear noise from outside. "There must be someone in this hat" It sounds like the man I encounter earlier. The person who is looking for this man.

The man is sleeping now. I should think a way that those people would not enter the hat. I go outside and hold my bag.

"That is the lady from earlier!" says the other guy. I keep myself calm. "Why are you here?" he asked.

"This is our hat. My dad just left, he said he will be in our way home because my sister is sick. He entrusted me to taker of our poultry near by. Is there anything I can do for you Mister?" Thankfully I really know this place.

"Oh, we are looking for our friend that was injured, have you seen him?" He said and searching around the corner.

"No I never seen anyone around here." I say casually so that they will never suspect me. "But earlier I saw a man running-walking towards the town. Maybe he reach the town by now." I lied for the sake of the man inside. Hope his not a bad guy.

To prove that there is no one inside I acted out to turn some light but the guys who are looking for the man whom I saved, leave as fast as they could saying. "Young lady thank you for the information that you have provided. Our friend is severely wounded and may face death due to the lost of blood. We have to find him as soon as possible."

"Take care Mister. I hope you find him." At last they leaved. That's right the man may lost a lot of blood if I don't see him. What should I do now.

I walk beside the bed and find the man resting but now awake. "Miss thank you. They are not my friend. They wanted to kill me." He explain. "Do you live here?" he ask.

"No I am not. I am from the near by village over there. I know you are not a bad guy." I don't know why but I can feel at ease with this guy. I feel like I knew him.

I was lost in my thought when he seat and reach for my hand. Because of this sudden action, I fell to his arms.

The sound was from inside my chess. He's warm. He has a fever. "Sir are you okey? Do you feel sick?" I am very concern. What if he got infection?

"I'm okey. It's just a fever. But later on I will be fine. Can I ask another favor?" wow his voice is very handsome... He took my hand as he speak.

"Ye..yes. what is it?" I am nervous I don't know why.

"Do you still have my jacket? I need it so that I can send signal to my body guard to know where my location is." I can't see his face I only know that he has a good figure and a pointed nose. He has a good muscular chess and his arms are very lovable to sleep in. Ahavah what are you thinking? Do you have crush with this man?

"Yes it's here, but can you please let go of me first?" He is still holding me in his hand.

"Oh! I'm sorry. here you go." He gently let go of me and I pick up the jacket near my bag. I give it to him and he press some button.
