Against All Odds...

Chapter 1

*Ansh Pov*

I stared at the blood on my hands and just sat there wishing today didn't turn out like it had. Isn't that what anyone wishes when something happens which we don't like?

"Excuse me?" I can hear the voice, but I didn't glance away from my hands with fear gripping my heart too tightly.

"Excuse me, Sir?" I finally looked up only to blink my eyes, feeling too much light is pointed directly in my eyes.

"I am not the one that needs some check up." I snapped making the small torch removed from my eyes.

And the person accepted, after which I finally saw the person who was stupid enough to point the torch on the patient's family.

"You are in shock and so I decided to bring you out of it, Sir." She mumbled and took a step back from me.

"And who are you suppose to be to do that?" I asked frowning.

"Nurse! And also the same person who is here to say that the woman you brought here is out of danger." She replied and I immediately stood up only to stumble feeling my legs numb with all the sitting.

"Careful! Otherwise, I may have to use my torch again." She warned when I finally found the balance with her hand on my shoulder and I turned to stare at her.

Who is she? And why is she being this rude to me? Isn't it the hospital policy to be nice for the patient's family? Didn't she know what danger was the patient was in?

"You must be the new nurse here." I mumbled and stepped away from her.

"No! It's been two years." She mumbled and turned to walk while I followed her.

"Then why are you behaving so rudely? I don't think we have met before for you to show this attitude." I asked frowning.

"We didn't meet before, but I have met your type. If someone is meek before you, you will just run over them. Now, all you need is to be distracted from the shock and that's what I am doing." she replied shrugging and finally stopped.

"You know me that clearly?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"Of course! I always know about my patients." She replied and moved a door.

"I am not a patient." I pointed out and glanced at the blood on my shirt and the hands.

"You are her family and she was in danger of dying. A person's danger will have even more effect on their family. So, for me a patient's family is also a patient." She said shrugging.

"Weird!" I whispered, but she had heard before giving a nod and gestured me to go inside.

I took a step, but hesitated to which she calmly whispered back, "She is not conscious right now."

"Thank you!" I whispered and stepped inside to see the only person that love me truly lying on the bed who was on verge of the death a few hours back.

"What have you got yourself into?" I asked, sitting beside her bed sighing.

After some time, the same nurse entered the room and checked her but stopped near me. I glanced at her to see that she is holding some clothes in her hands.

"I don't know whether to ask you to call anyone else here, but you need to change, Sir. She shouldn't be affected with any bacteria." She requested and I glanced down to see that I am indeed covered in blood but also a lot of mud.

"Why did the doctor allow me in the first place?" I mumbled standing up.

"He doesn't know! You are supposed to be here after a few hours." She replied and I glanced at her in shock.
