wrong side of heaven [translated into english]

chapter 1

With one last glance at the paper with the patient's details,she closed the door of the cage.

'' goodnight buddy '' she smiles at the kitten who was sleeping in her cage.

She checked for the last time today the cages with the animals who were hospitalized in the veterinary before turning off the lights and at the doctor's office and leave. The rain that could be heard beating loudly on the windows of the doctor's office made her swear that she did not get an umbrella and she forced herself to walk in the rain.

With her jacket and her schoolbag , she was ready to leave and lock the doors, as it was her time to close the veterinary, when out of the blue she heard a very loud knocking on the front door.

Putting her things aside again, she ran to open the door thinking that an emergency was waiting for her and she would need to call a doctor.

She opened the door and before she could see who she was, she was suddenly stuck to the wall, with a stocky body holding her still with his cold hand in her mouth preventing her from screaming.

''Don't scream, I will not do anything to you'' ,  the hoarse voice of the man holding her still against the wall was heard, who hesitantly removed his hand, fearing for what would follow.

Μyrto was still on the wall trying to control her breath.

''what do you want?'', she asked the strange man,and he in response took the hood of his gray jacket off his head.

She did not know if she should react to the fact that she knew him or that his face was full of sores.

She has seen him in the school, but she didn't remember his name, he was in the first section of the last class of high school. He repeated the class two times and he was in -not so good- friendgroup, as he himself did not have a good reputation. The view in front of her confirmed it of what she has heard for him.

Without telling her what he wanted, she understood by herself. ''Sit down'' she said to him pointing at the chair,and he sat on the chair with difficult moves because of the sores, doing what she said.

She took the first aid kit where it contained what she needed to clean his face.She tried to avoid whatever touch with his skin if it wasn't necessary, but this didn't prevented her to scan all his features with her eyes.

Rain-soaked, black, wavy curls almost covered his green eyes, which did not rise from the floor for a moment, while cute freckles were strewn on the caramel skin of his nose and cheekbones, which you could see up close, the distance that Myrto was with him.

''Why didn't you go to the hospital?'' she asked suddenly breaking the silence and continuing to disinfect the sores, having cleared them from the  blood.

He didn't respond, as a result Myrto thought tha she won't hear an answer, but suddenly he answered.

''To avoid the questions that the nurses will ask me'' he answered to her

''Why? How did you get those sores and you don't want to answer to the nurses?'' she asked him confused

For the first time, she was looking at him with a crooked glance ''Right now I just said that i don't want to answer to any question, so your questions include too'' he told.

Myrto kept her mouth shut for the rest of the time, until she finished disinfecting his eyebrow with the tear, his left cheekbone and the right edge of his lips covering them with a bandage.

''You're ready, in less than a week there will be no mark on your face'' she said when she finished cleaning his face. 

''You're beautiful face....''  she did not restrain herself from thinking this ''I know'' he answered with a dry tone in his voice and with hasty moves, he took his bag, opened the door and left in the rain without thanking her.

''jerk'' Myrto whispered to herself while she was picking up the things she used. Finally, that night, she left and started heading to her home as fast as she could. Her home was five blocks below. All the way to her home, she could not dismiss from her, the feeling that someone was stalking her. Every time she was twisting to the corner, she was looking discreetly if someone was behind her, but none was there.

Convinced that this was all a game of her mind, she went up to the ground floor of the apartment building where she lived and after removing the wet hood from her head and the keys from her pocket,she looked back one last time.

This time her eyes caught someone turning the corner in fractions of a second, specifically she saw a male figure with -

''grey jacket....?'' she whispered to herself with her eyebrows being wrinkled. ''he was stalking me?'' thought.

Confused, she unlocked with quick moves her front door of her home, and got surprised as she saw the lights being opened at the kitchen.She closed and locked the door behind her and took off her jacket, hanging it on the monk next to her, leaving her bag with it. She entered the kitchen and was relieved to see her father eating the spaghetti she had made at noon.

''Hello dad!'' she exclaimed happily to her loved one who rarely saw him at home because of his job. She kissed her dad's cheek while she was hugging him and then she sat on the chair. 

''Hello little one, why are you late today? usually you do not come at half past nine?'' Myrto checked on the watch above the table and saw that it was almost 11pm. She sat on the chair that was accross of his ''Yeah i know, plainly there was a man with his puppy that wanted my help straight away. And then until I pick up, wipe and close the doctor's office time passed'' She told to her dad whatever justification she thought.

She couldn't tell to him that a guy with a bloody face came to her veterinary and asked her to clean up and disinfect it, her dad would be worried for his daughter.

''I understand, but why didn't you call me to come and pick you up?'' he told her while he was swallowing the last mouthfull of spaghetti.

''I didn't know that you were home. Really now, how did you come home so early?'' she asked her dad.

Her father wasn't home before eleven o'clock at night. Unfortunately for her, he was the best lawyer in the country and because of his long-hour job she saw him for a few hours a day.

''we didn't have much work at the office'' he responded and she just shook her head in agreement before she clean the table. She wasn't hungry, then she kissed her dad on his cheek and with a ''goodnight''  headed to her room. After a quick and warm bath she changed her clothes into warm pijamas and tucked under the fluffy and warm blankets, she closed her eyes for a restful sleep, as the next day would be just as difficult at school and at the vet.

Only for her bad luck  two green eyes  almost covered with a gray hood would haunt her dreams....
