" Doctor , How..when..? "

Zared could not formulate a single sentence to ask properly. His mind is   still in the ward looking at the broken body of Kongpob. He could not get rid off the all the white bandages and gauge tape wrapped all around his body. He looks at the person sitting beside him, his fierce friend, one who has not uttered a single word since he heard the doctor in the hallway.

The doctor understood what the older person wanted to ask and stands up from his chair and walks to the board where some Xray reports, CT Scan , MRT Scan are pinned and flips on a light above it. 

" These are the reports of Kongpob. He has multiple injuries and fractured bones ,many tearings inside his an..',

The doctor trails off when Aim runs out of the room again. The poor boy could not bear to look at the battered body of his friend who is looking fragile like glass. No one said any word , they could not comprehend the horror the child has suffered.

" Continue",

Zared was stunned when he heard Neol who has his eyes on the reports. Knowing that his friend is on verge of having a melt down, Zared stops the doctor from explaining any further.

" No need to detail him anym- 

" Continue '',

Neol cuts off the other person mid sentence with a harsh glare and looked squared in doctor's eyes. Seeing the stone hard determination in those old eyes doctor nods and begins to inform them.

" There are many burnt marks on his body made from cigarettes and there are also bondage marks around his wrist and ankles. It looks like he struggled a lot to get himself free...He also has been hit pretty hardly on his head which has resulted in clogging of blood in the brain leading to an urgent surgery I have  operated on him. I would have apologised to you for not seeking your permission beforehand but I am not a little bit sorry for protecting his life." The doctor flicks off the light and sits back on his chair.

" How kongpob got here? Is there any name or person who had admitted him ? "

Doctor just shakes his head, hatred and disgust coloured his features," No one has admitted him. Do you guys really think that the monsters who had done such henious crime will let him live? It was only Kongpob' will to live which made it possible for him to fight all odds" ,the doctor looks away to the walls painted blue in front of him, a faraway look in his eyes when he speaks.

"  It was raining heavily on Wednesday and I have just ended my 36 hours shift. Heavy downpour making it difficult to see in the night when i had to jerk the break as something flashed on the road. When I got out, Kongpob was lying on the ground, blood colouring the ground beneath him. Instincts kicked in and I took him back to the hospital, till then he has lost his consciouness. The only thing which I had heard from him before he scummb to sleep was Help."

" Oh god" Zared gasped.

Neil could not stand any more and then little by little sobs wrecked his body as the old man cried for his innocent son who had to bear the nefarious act done to him in the most barbaric way.

When the sobs died and Neol looked back at the doctor, he was no more a helpless father but a man ready to fight for his son.

" Thanks doctor for saving my son. I will be grateful to you all my life." Noel looks at the young man who has become guardian angel for his Kongpob.

" I won't lie and give you false hope. It will take a long time for the wounds to heal and even much longer time for his mental health. It will take atleast 1 month before he wakes up ." , Zared gasps while Noel only schooled his expressions and nods.
