Chapter 41 - Boss is Crying?
Meanwhile a few heavily armed men from Rhehan"s security team had already captured the black masked men outside the cafe. The staff was held free and in few seconds, they had also managed to catch hold of masked men inside the cafe.
Rhehan quickly got up and watched Rose in horror. Her arm was bleeding and she was lying unconcious on the ground. He quickly picked her up in his arms and rushed out of the cafe. A few people from his security followed him out rapidly.
"Quick! Call doctor Mark. Tell him to be prepared. We are reaching in five minutes", he ordered a well suited man from his security.
"Yes sir!" the man replied and opened the car door for his boss.
Tears were flowing down from Rhehan"s eyes and were falling on Rose"s pale face. He sat inside the car with Rose still in his arms. He was handling her so delicately as if she was made of gla.s.s and would break apart at just a minor impact.
The vehicles sped up to the hospital with Rhehan sitting in one, carefully holding Rose in his lap.
The security team was taken aback at Rhehan"s reaction. Though Rhehan was probably the sweetest boss ever, he never showed his vulnerable side to anybody. This was the first time they had seen their boss crying like a baby that too for a girl. Though, they all were also thankful and indebted to the girl who had saved their boss"s life.
Chapter 42 - Its all my fault
The cars halted at the emergency door of the "Medicity hospital". The entire hospital was by then informed that the boss himself is coming over with a very important person. "Medicity Hospital" was one of the many chains of hospital initiated by Rhehan"s company, also known for giving free treatment to the needy. The staff was gathered at the emergency door to take a look at the injured person, while others were peeking out from their windows out of curiosity.
Rhehan was the most eligible bachalor in the entire world and was known for his charming personality. He was no less than an international celebrity, of whom people tried hard to have just one glance.
The nurses rushed to the vehicle with a stretcher so as to place the injured person on it. As soon as the car door opened, everybody saw a red eyed, young handsome man stepping out of the car with huge dark circles and disheaveled hair. He seemed to have cried his heart out. He was holding an extremely beautiful girl in his arms whose elbow was covered in blood.
Nurses rushed ahead to place Rose on the stretcher but Rhehan refused to handover her to anybody.
"I will carry her myself please," he said with teary eyes.
He carried her inside the hospital building and the doctors started checking her vitals while still in Rhehan"s arms.
"Please boss. It would be better if you place her on the bed. Our work will be easier", requested Doctor Mark.
Tears started flowing from Rhehan"s eyes as he placed Rose on the stretcher. He was staring at her pale face which looked completely lifeless.
Soon Rose was taken inside for a thorough check-up and Rhehan had to unwillingly leave her at her own.
Rhehan pondered on many things while waiting for the doctor to report about Rose"s conditions. It was all his fault for dragging Rose in this condition. What if something happens to her? He will also kill himself. He should have stayed away from her, he thought.
Chapter 43 - Three year old child!
After another 45 minutes of crucial waiting, doctor appeared out of the room, heading towards Rhehan who had gone all red and teary-eyed.
"Boss, don"t worry! Ms.Rose is doing just fine," he said rea.s.suringly patting his shoulder.
Rhehan closed his eyes in relief. The last 45 minutes had been a tremendous torture to him. He had even planned to prepare his will and kill himself, if somthing happened to Rose.
Doctor waited for Rhehan to ask certain questions, but Rhehan was completely quiet, standing with closed eyes.
The doctor himself decided to explain further. "The bullet luckily just tore her skin and did not penetrate the arm. Just a few st.i.tches have done the needful. Her head had suffered a mild concussion which caused her to faint. The effect should not last for more than a few hours."
Rhehan finally opened his mouth to speak.
"So you mean their is nothing serious?" He asked with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Exactly! She is a physically strong girl. I have seen quiet rare patients like that.The bullet could not penetrate her arm as she has extremely strong muscles", the doctor applauded.
Rhehan then recalled a fact about Rose"s master "Xio Lee". It was a known fact that even sharpest of daggers or swords can not hit him or penetrate his body and harm an inch of his skin. He had adapted himself this way with tremendous practice and use of some herbs and essential oils. Rose had been trained under him for 20 years, surely she would have been trained similarly.
Rhehan had a huge grin on his face and he felt like a parent whose child had just been praised for his good character.
"Can I go and see her now?" Rhehan exclaimed in excitement, jumping like a three-year old child left loose in a candy store.
"Sure. She hasn"t woken up yet but I expect her to come back to conciousness within an hour, " a.s.sured the doctor and left the room.
Chapter 44 - This feeling!
Rhehan opened the door very slowly as if the person lying on the bed was not unconcious but sleeping. The VIP room was elegantly covered in dark wood, with all available ameneties.
Rose lay on the bed peacefully , her cheeks were no longer pale. Her arm was wrapped in bandages and few machines were attatched to record her vitals.
Rhehan took the seat closest to her and saw her face carefully. Her features were too delicate which gave her the look of a fairy. She was now covered in a loose hospital gown, but Rhehan could not help but look at her curves carefully.
He did not realise that this was the first time he did not have a hard on , looking at a girl. For the first time he was not looking at her with l.u.s.ty eyes. He wanted to savour her image in his mind forever. His beautiful saviour, who looks so stunning even when unconcious. Her selfless att.i.tude towards Rhehan had made him look at women with a different perspective.
He carefully touched her soft fingers and a similar current ran across his body making him retrace his hands again. His heart was beating rapidly and his breathing was getting uneven.
What is she doing to me? Why do I feel like this?
He looked at her face again and tears started forming in his eyes again. This was the first time in his life that somebody had acted selflessly for him. The feeling of being cared and protected was something he had never experienced. It was just with his old man he recieved a little amount of this feeling, that too for a few years. After he grew old, it was Rhehan who took care of him and helped him in everything.
He looked at Rose again with intense eyes. In those few minutes, he knew he could do anything for this girl now. He would even give up his life for her. He promised himself to help her in every possible way.
Chapter 45 - Panic-struck la.s.s!
Little did Rhehan know that this is what is called falling in love. When you start caring for a person selflessly and ask nothing in return. When you just want to see the person happy and even a slighest of harm to that person will make you create havoc in the world.
After another 30 minutes of dead silence, Rose"s eyes finally flickered. Rhehan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her face intently. Rose frowned a little and suddenly opened her eyes in horror.
Rhehan a.s.sumed that the trauma of bullet hitting her must have scared her a lot.
"Don"t worry! You are safe. The bullet just touched you minutely. Nothing serious happened," he a.s.sured patting her hand with utmost care.
Rose looked at Rhehan in horror. His soothing words were not calming her down at all. Rhehan was perplexed at her reaction.
"Relax Rose. Trust me, you are fine. You hit your head on the ground and pa.s.sed out for some time. Thats all," he said with even more gentle tone.
Rose"s face frowned further and she screamed loudly in panic. Rhehan was taken aback by her reaction. A girl like her, did not get scared on facing a bullet but now since she is all fine, she is panicking like anything. Finally she opened her mouth to speak.
"How long did I pa.s.s out?" she said panic-struck.
"Umm...around 2 hours," he said thinking deeply.
"Oh d.a.m.n!" she said punching the bed hard with her fist.
"Hey easy girl ! This arm just got hit by a bullet. Can you be a little more concerned about your situation"? he fumed in anger, holding her fist tightly.
Rose then noticed the bandage on her arm and frowned further.
"What could have a bullet done to me?" she said rolling her eyes.
Rhehan looked at her startled. She was nothing like a normel girl. Was she even a girl? She is looking at her wound as if its a small scratch.
"You are right. It did not harm you much. Then what are you worried about?" questioned Rhehan perplexed.
Rose"s face grew dark as if her world had just ended. She looked intensely in Rhehan"s eyes, which sent s.h.i.+vers down Rhehan"s spine. This girl was stirring up Rhehan"s emotions and messing with his heart.
"I have just one hour left to prepare for the Loraine fas.h.i.+on week. It is the most popular international platform and I need to reach their right now. My team must be waiting for me. I have the opening show and if anything goes wrong my brand will suffer", she said in a gloomy voice.
"But you have a wonderful team with you. Can"t they handle on their just this once?" he asked frustrated.
"No. We have been waiting for this opportunity from past 2 years. I need to be with my team and check on all the arrangements," she pleaded.
"But what about your wound and your head injury?" Rhehan asked perplexed.
" Please, I am fine. I can handle myself. I have suffered worse during my training sessions. But if i don"t reach at the fas.h.i.+on week, everything will be finished. We have been preparing for this compet.i.tion since long," she pleaded.
