chapter 23 :- present

In the hospital amid iras accident.

It's been 6 days since Ira is in hospital. And today was the day of her discharge.
Despite a broken wrist and forearm, Ira was experiencing difficulties in normal day activities.
mom must be worrying about me, I will inform her once I have  recovered enough to go to seoul. Dad  will be pissed off for my careless behavior while crossing road.

"Do want to consider your appointment with doctor linn." Asked doctor Hower about the meeting Ira asked for with the psychologist.
" I think I need to mend a broken arm first than a broken brain. Ohh it's broken to."
She laughed of at her bad attempt of joke.
Leave it it's not her cup of tea to cheer someone.
"You need to have a extra care with your cerebral edema, we have performed oxygen therapy on your brain, but we need to ensure that it doesnot return. So take care of it.

I have inform the administration about your accident, you can continue with the online lectures for now, and have rest for at least 4 weeks."

Ira loves her job and classes but she has to compromise with it for the sake of her health.
Perhaps the incident with Taehyung and haein had left a big impact on her heart.

Being in unconscious state for almost 5 days she concluded that its better if she is away from him. She will again drag him into the pit of darkness which she was in.

Do you miss me to Taehyung. Because since our,  separation it's not a single day I have not thought about you.
You were always the one for me, but I was not the girl you deserve. It's better you are far away.

Ira signed all the forms, and collected her small bag which have her clothes Id and utilities. Nurse ella helped her a lot.
She took her weak body towards exit and
was limping due to her strained legs, but felt a hand behind her waist.

"Always so strong huhh..... don't you want, someone to take care of you once."
Taehyung was standing at her side with his Oh so beautiful face with black overcoat and a white scarf.

.damn this scarf, I made it with my own hands. For what explanation he is wearing this scarf, that he still wants me.

"Taehyung." Despite the shock she is feeling there was a sweet ting of  relief in her heart that finally the someone she wanted to be cared by is in front of her.
"How are you here again?
How's your leg and hand, I think the stitches must have be dissolved by now."
Ira have a slight twist of her lips, not a full smile, but she surely was glad to see him.
"I don't know how these 4 years you have survived, what can I ask from a women who can't properly cross a road."
She giggled at his tone. Earlier her always used to throw comments on her being irresponsible. Those were the  days really.
The dream of a life bond was clearly visible. But Ira always blame herself and her destiny for the situation she is in.

"Is Haein there with you?"
"No."the smile is  dropped now.
"Then why are you here? I thought Haein wants to meet, he was saying that day on call that he wants to come."She said with her twisted eyebrows.
" He wants to come when we get to see you whole, not in broken pieces you are running right now."His gaze was on iras hand cast. And the bandage around her head.
"He can come some other time but don't forget to bring him." Taehyung took the bag from her shoulder and hold her hand with his cold one."Come."
"Yes if you have car can you please drop me at my building. I can't book a ride, my phone is damaged." She pulled his hand to walk at her pace.
"We are going at your apartment only."
He opened the car door for her of the passenger seat and slightly push her to sit. He made her sit inside, and tied the seatbelt across her.
Ira on other hand was thinking that, will he leave after sometime, why are you here afterall? For me? May be but how he knows that I got into a accident
He grabbed a blanket from trunk and give it to Ira to wear.
She was still in hospital clothes which can hardly provide warmth. She mumbled a small thanks and bring both her hand to wrap around herself.
"Is there any meeting here for you?"
"No." White knuckles on the staring wheel.
"Or on holiday." She asked while turning the heater of the car.
"Do you think I'm here for a damn holiday, by myself recovering from 2 surgeries itself.
And seeing you all pretty and healthy enjoying spa at hospital."he says it with greeted teeth and whisper.
Anger was clearly visible in his eyes. First the carelessness and for more she didn't inform anyone about the accident.
"Don't shout at me." Ira said in a low voice, head down and in no mood of fight.
"I'm not shouting, it's you who make me behave like that, you have never ever once listened to me." Rageful breaths, red eyes, white knuckles are all evidence of his anger.
She remained silent. Holding blanket close to her chest.

It looks like it's gonna rain.

"Can you walk or want me to carry you." Taehyung asked by holding iras shoulder and her bag on his back.
"No I can't trouble a person who have just recovered from surgery."
Taehyung rolled his eyes at her. and continue walking with her towards the lift.

He was staring Ira while standing at the corner of lift. Ira rubbed her hands on her face to see what he was staring at, self conscious Ira have never left a piece from her body.

She raised her chin to ask what happened. But he just shifted his face towards the door and started looking something in her bag.
She raised her eyebrows in panic, what is he searching in her bags.
"Wh.. what are you do.."She shuttered the sentence.
"Where is the pouch of your medicines?"
She blinked her eyes three four times. Remembering she left the bag at her table.
"God Ira you are 32......... how can you be this careless." His hands are in middle air, heavy breaths were visible from his nostrils.
He accompanied her towards the Door and kept the bag on the rack beside door.
"Freshen up, I will return in minutes, and don't you dare do anymore damage to you body." His forefinger was pointed towards Ira.
She turned her body back to her room without giving any response for his satisfaction.

When Taehyung returns Ira has changed into her black trousers and brown cashmere sweater from one sleeve and with a wool knitted cap on her head, she has struggled much toh wear her clothes and that also not completed.
She ignored his presence and moved towards the kitchen to fetch a water bottle. When she was struggling to open a cap from bottle, Taehyung helped her to open it.
When she finished drinking he saw Taehyung approaching her  dangerously close. She tensed up at the environment.
"Raise your hands properly."
"Huhh" purposely innocent reaction was fetched from her face.
"Do you want to roam like this in cold." She shook her head.
"Then hands up."
He helped Ira wearing her clothes properly.
And hold her casted Hand to make her move towards the island stool.
He was taking out the take away food which he has purchased while fetching iras medicine.
He served the food to Ira, but she noticed that there was only one serving on island.
"You are not eating." She asked while taking a spoonful of vegetable stew frm left hand.
"I will eat afterwards." He said while opening the boxes.
"Can you bring me the fork from there?"
"Hmm"
She somehow finished her dinner by her left hand, although It was not much of difficult cause she was an ambidextrous.

Ira was in bathroom from more than 20 minutes. And in the mean time Taehyung has done the dishes and was now sorting out the medicines of Ira, which he knew she never took on time so he has to do the job.

He was  keeping the medicines  safely on the bed side drawer of Ira but experienced a heart shattering view in the drawer.
There was his photo with the scanned images of her 3d ultrasound from her first pregnancy.
Taehyung was struggling with emotions after seeing this and was now shedding ugly tears by seeing his child.
Taehyung was the favorite part of her life so she was keeping him with her always.

When he felt the door opening he immediately closed the drawer and wiped his tears.
"Ira."
"I'm sorry Taehyung, I was thinking about this but my phone is damaged like yours. Yup I was careless for not crossing road properly but damage is done now I can't do anything."
She sat down on one end of bed.
