Warmth of February

2011,3rd February. Ottawa, Canada.
The air was getting colder moment by moment. Strong gales and heavy snow has covered countless lives.
After playing the same game for consequtively 3 days ,she lived that night too.
She was walking hopeless in the hope of her end. Snow blankets are slowly grasping her.
Someone called her from behind. She was told,"What are you doing here? Go home. It was announced in the evening to stay home."
She saw a man, around late thirties with bearded face, wearing a long snowcoat.His grey eyes were clearly seen even in this heavy darkness
With a stiff face she answered "I will die soon. Don't waste your time sir."
Suddenly his face became stiff too. "So you want to die."
"yes."
"I can help you."
"Alex never needed anyone's help." He smiled with a cruel expression."You don't know who you are?"
Then he stared at her face for a while and then.....
Someone pulled her back to the safe place and saved her from falling from the edge of Niagara waterfalls.
She came into her consciousness. The one who saved her shouted in anxiety, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU DOING?!"
She got startled after realizing that she was not even in senses a minute ago. She said stammering
"Who are you?"
"That is not important. What were you doing is the most important thing right now. What were you doing?!"
She noticed suddenly that he has the same grey eyes but he's a different person! She started stammering "I donno.I-"
"Let's talk later. It's unbelievably cold outside. There are no transports tonight so rest at my home."
They went there.
"So you're saying I'm staying here tonight. But I won't be comfortable enough to stay here for free. How should I?"
"By creator's name,I don't need your money. "
"(Chuckled) yeah, but as I said, I'll feel uncomfortable."
"That's none of my business .
The one at the top left is yours and right one is mine."
"Ok. Thank you for your hospitality. Your name?"
"Zuchios Zeinzi."
"It's Alexendra Merca"
"I've never seen such a person like you who wore only a shirt and trousers in a blizzard.I don't understand why people think to end their only life."
She smiled weakly.
Zuch gave her blankets to wrap around her and made her a warm cup of coffee.
"Where do you live ?"
"My home."
"Where is your home?"
"On ground."
"(Chuckled softly) And you're joking around in this situation?"
"(Also chuckled) In ottawa, near ottawa olive hospital."
"Then why you're here? For any other reason than suiciding?"
"Look, I was not here for that.
I don't even know how I got here."
"Really? Ok.(took a long breath)
There are other ways than suicide. If you need anyone to talk to, I can-"
He looked at her. He got terrified to see her falling on the sofa.
But when he rushed there, her snorings relieved him and he smiled in relief.
He carried her ALL the way to her selected room and placed her carefully on her bed, switched off the lights.
Then went to his room.
After a very long day, he finally gave himself some rest...
