STAND BY ME!!

The Mafia Boss

Third Person
It has been 2 days since Ambily started with the camp. And, she is enjoying every bit of it.
Her escape was worth... Since she got what she always wanted, 'Freedom' to live her life by her own terms.
That Ambily, who was before was long left behind and the new person was totally different, always laughing, joking.
She could wear all her loose t-shirts, hoodies and jeans which she and her mother bought, without her father knowing. That's what she always wanted to wear but her father preferred seeing her in dresses, gowns, skirts, office suits.
But now she could do everything by her own will.
She hated the sophisticated way of life, which her father chose for her.

Forks is a very beautiful place with many small villages across the river which flows deep in the forest.
Ambily was far away from her house still she felt at home.
This is the home she always wanted where rain would pour everytime the trees were thirsty, the soft sunrays nourishing the luscious green grass which spread all over the land.
The tall trees giving a sense of comfort and protection during the bright sunny days.
The birds chirping, playing with the creepers, the sounds, that of the insects which was far more peaceful than the noise made by the car horns, crowdy cities and long traffics.
It was a piece of heaven on earth.
Atleast for Ambily, it was!

Ambily, Rhea and their 5 other colleagues; two senior doctors, two wardboys and 3 nurses were all staying in a small cottage.
It was big enough for them to comfortably live for few days and hold all the instruments which they had brought.

Ambily's POV
I was sitting in the balcony after a long tiring day, looking at the tall trees.
It was peaceful before three black cars came to stop infront of the cottage.
One car was at the centre and the other two on each of its sides. Two men from each of the cars got out. All wore same black suits. It looked like some kind of uniform.
The four men ran towards the car, that parked at the centre to open the passenger door.
A man stepped out of the car.
To my surprise, he was bleeding.. with the white shirt he wore, drenched with the blood.
The four men carried him inside and I immediately ran downstairs.
"What happened to him?"
I asked gesturing the men to lie him on one of the stretchers, wearing my gloves at the same time.
"Our boss... He was shot.. On the arm... Here"
One of them showed me his wound.
"What... How... Who are you'll??" I tried to inquire nervously.
"Ma'am, you are asking too many questions ,please help him... Guess that's more important now."
"Yes, but I can't get on with the treatment simply like that without knowing about this matter." I said getting suspicious.
"It'll be all the more good if you just focus on saving his life, ma'am!" He gave me a stern glance.
I started with the treatment just with the thought that I would never like someone dieing when I could do something and that the decision might be the best to handle that situation.
I examined it. The wound was not that deep, the bullet just touching the superficial tissue of his bicep.
"Don't worry... The wound is not deep. He'll be okay.
I'll clean it up." I told the man who talked to me before.
"Thank you ma'am " the man replied.
I was cleaning the wound when Rhea came in and started helping me.
We had to put 3 stitches so the wound could heal faster.
Rhea then bandaged his arm.
I went and informed the men that their boss was fine but unconscious due to the anaesthesia.
All of them waited outside the cottage while their boss was resting.
It had been two hours already when the butler of the cottage arrived.
He looked terrified looking at the men standing outside and hurried us in the kitchen to tell us something.
"Ma'am what are these men doing here?" He asked catching his breath.
"Relax Ben, he's our patient." Rhea informed him.
"You don't know him." Ben replied quickly.
"Of course we don't know him, Ben." Here Ben was in a shock and Rhea wanted to joke. This girl...
"Rhea, let Ben speak." I rolled my eyes heavenwards.
"What is it that you want to tell us." I turned back to Ben.
"Ma'am he's the Mafia man."
"What..???" Rhea and I asked simultaneously.
"Yes, he's the heir of the biggest Mafia clan of this country. They have been here since 10 years. They rule this village and all the 5 adjoining them.
Not even the police have any control here. They are just for name sake.
It will be better if you stay away from them." he explained to us.
"Don't worry Ben. We'll be careful."I assured him.
"But he is so hot, I thought I would have a chance with him." It is proved now Rhea has lost her mind, can't she be serious for once.
"Shut up Rhea. You don't even know him." I nudged my elbow in her stomach.
"Ouch... It hurts." She hissed in pain catching her stomach.
"Drama queen "
****
It was early in the morning.
By the time I was down, Rhea's so called hot guy was already checked by the other doctors and was ready to leave.
The men with him waited the whole night guarding his room.
'Is he really that important'.
Rhea had come earlier saying that he wanted to meet me.
He was sitting on the sofa.
The sight of him sitting there.... Made me scared, I wanted to run a thousand miles away from him but I thought of the better and went to him.
"Good morning!! How do you feel? "I greeted him politely.
"Morning miss" he replied giving me a big smile and stood up.
"Ohh.. Please sit." I told him and he obliged. I sat opposite to him.
he stared at me for a few seconds and then smirked. 'Well that was pretty awkward.'
I just gave him a smile and sat quiet, till he spoke.
"I would like to introduce myself. I'm Russell....Russell Mogilevich." He said extending his head towards me.
His voice was so strong, it sounded like he was introducing less and ordering more.
I took his hand in a handshake and replied saying my name.
"I'm Ambily's Brooks." He smiled.
I must say he has a very flattering smile.
"So Ambily I want to thank you for what you did yesterday.
Thank you for saving me."
"It's my duty Mr. Mogilevich.
I have taken up this profession to help people." I told him.
"First of all...call me Russell. And about you doing your duty, you are very good at that and good work must be appreciated." I just weighed my head down.
That was getting, kind of embarrassing for me.
"Please... Mr. Moge..." he frowned.
"Alright.. Russell, you are exaggerating...."
"Believe me darling.. I'm not"
"Ahh... " I didn't know what to say.. So I just kept quiet.
One of Russel's man came inside and was about to speak but was stopped when Russel got up and raised his hand gesturing him to go out. The man silently walked back, the way he came.
Russell turned towards me.
"I should be leaving now." Saying this he again extended his hand... But this time instead of letting go he raised my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles. I immediately pulled my hand back.
'I didn't see that coming.'
That made me blush and he smirked...... again.
I told him to 'take care' as he left.
That man was weird.
Soon as he left Rhea came. She looked at me and raised her eyebrows.
"What??? " I questioned her.
"Nothing" She said and started laughing loudly.
'I should have known.'
