"She needs immediate blood or else it will be difficult to save her. But the problem is we don't know her blood group and we don't even have time to test it."

The doctor says in a tensed tone. Manik comes near the bed and leans forward. Nandini is still lying lifelessly. Her chest is moving up and down at a slow pace.

"Take my blood. It will be safe for her.

Manik says to the doctor still observing Nandini. Getting no reply from the doctor he turns to him. The doctor is still perplexed.

"I am O negative. Universal donor. So you can use my blood without knowing her blood group. Harry up, we don't have time."

Manik rolls up his cuffs. Ayan is noticing him. He never saw his boss so concerned about any girl until now. Is it only care, concern, repentance or something deeper? But it is for sure...this is not mere lust for what this girl is brought here.

"You have to lie down while I will insert the needle. As this bed is quite wide and there is no other place to lie down, you can take her adjacent place. Mr Ayan, I need some more equipment from my car. Please get it as soon as possible."

The doctor suggests and within some minutes his all instructions are obeyed.

"Lying beside her a ft apart, I am feeling a weird tenderness to this girl. Her closed eyes, swollen face...motionless limbs and the serenity of her face are continuously inviting my glances. The blood is dripping from the bag hanging in a stand full of my own blood slowly passing through her artery. I am saving her life...the life which I was going to destroy some hours ago. Why am I doing this? Is it only out of fear and concern or something else? I again look at her face...but this time it is not a glance. I am gazing at her with sheer admiration. She is beautiful; she is innocent as an angel. And she is perfect for you...My inner demon somehow sounds soft yet resolute. My eyes are slowly closing. It is peaceful...it is blissful..."

"What happened, doctor? Why did he shut his eyes? Is it dangerous for him? I mean you have taken out almost 2 pouches of blood. It must be harmful to him."

Ayan sounds worried. The doctor is sitting on a chair near the bed so that he can keep an eye on both. He comes near to Manik and checks him.

"Don't worry, he is a well built healthy young guy. He can easily donate 2 bottles of blood. It's just he is feeling temporary dizziness because of the process. When I will stop the flow he will feel absolutely fine. He just needs rest for a couple of hours. Thankfully we got the donor so fast. Otherwise, she won't survive."

Saying this, the doctor stops the blood flow and again checks Nandini's pulse and heartbeat. A satisfaction beams on his face. He gestures to Ayan to come outside. Manik and Nandini are still lying on the bed with closed eyes.

"I think we have won the initial battle. The girl is much stable now. Her heartbeat and pulse rate is getting normal. Now she only needs rest. I can say more only after she gains sense. Only after that, I can say what is her condition and if she needs any further treatment or not. Right now my work is done. And one more thing...make Mr Malhotra have some food like hot milk, stew or soup. Let him also take a rest. I will call you in the morning."

Saying this, the doctor tries to take leave but Ayan stops him.

"Doctor...ummm...I mean if you don't have any problem, can you stay here for the night? I mean...this farmhouse is very remote from the city as you can see. Moreover, there is no other help around as the surrounding is so desolate. If an emergency arises at night we will be helpless. You only said that the girl is still unconscious and not fully recovered."
