Wounds of Duty and Hearts of Healing.

(Azad Rathore x OC)

Chapter One.

---------

Azad's POV

Am I still here?

Why can't I move?..

What's going on?..

"Ma'am! I think he is starting to get conscious!"

A voice shouted. Isn't that.. Eeram's voice? Are the others there too?

"Calm down.. and keep an eye on him." Another voice.. Whose is it..?

All I can recall were gunshots. Bullets piercing through me.. as well as the girls surrounding me. Then everything faded within seconds.

I carefully opened my eyes. My sight was blurred. I still couldn't move properly.

"Is he recovering?.. The past few days he wasn't too responsive or is this the same situation again?" I heard Eeram speak. Even though my hearing wasn't as clear as it was, I noticed her tone was concerned.

"Im sure he is recovering.. Im sure."

I couldn't move a muscle. I just lay there trying to comprehend this situation.

"Eeram, what's his name?.. Im sorry, I forgot."

She doesn't even know my name. So, she couldn't be someone I've met.

"Azad. Azad Rathore, Ma'am."

I can hear the woman beside me sigh. Her face.. It's blurred.

"Mr. Rathore.. can you hear me?"

I tried to speak. My mouth was moving but not a single sound could come out. I decided to answer with a nod instead.

"He has trouble speaking.. alright. Can you see me?"

I couldn't respond to that question. My sight was blurry, I tried to tell her by gesture.

"Alright... everything seems to be fine on the monitor. I know you're worried about your voice and eyesight.. or maybe how weak you feel right now, but that's normal. It is common to experience that after waking up from a coma. Most likely your eyesight will heal earlier," she spoke to me reassuringly.

Coma..? I've been in a coma? For how long?

I need to know who she is. I tried to speak again. Only a voice lower that a whisper came out.

"W-who.. who are.. you?" My hoarse voice tries to come out. I couldn't speak properly and my tone was barely a whisper. But somehow, she managed to understand me.

"I'm Dr. Shourya Chandrasekhar. Mr. Rathore, you've been in a coma for weeks. You have lost a lot of blood due to the shots being in certain areas, but Eeram and the girls brought you here just in time. I'll be helping you through your recovery. We can do a little ice breaking once you're feeling better." I heard her explain everything. Now it makes much more sense.

My eyesight was slightly better. I blinked a couple of times. Her face became.. much clearer that before.

"You don't have to force it, Mr. Rathore," she remarked my actions with a chuckle.

So.. she and Eeram were the doctors who got me out of my critical state? And she will be helping me recover? But.. how long will I recover? I have duties, I have things to take care of I- I cant possibly be off for too long.

"How.. How long will it take-" I couldn't finish my sentence. My throat was getting sore.

"Easy.. easy. You'll need a few months or more to recover. You definitely could not stand up now. But I will help you regain your strength through Physical Therapy," she smiles at me. It was as if she was trying to tell me everything will be alright. I.. hope so.

Shourya's POV

My patient was finally awake from his coma. I admit, he is strong enough to survive such a blood loss. Even I was surprised.

I took notice that he doesn't seem to accept what is happening and what I just told him. I can tell he's a man who takes his duties seriously. He's probably feeling uneasy having to be off for months.

"Look, Mr. Rathore. I know you're worried about your duties.. but please. Your health is much more important than anything else, isn't that correct? Health comes first. If you aren't healthy, how will you fulfill your duties then?" I told him in a slightly stern tone, but I didn't want to appear harsh either.

He seems defeated by reality, so he just nodded to my words.

I looked over to Eeram.. whose also looking towards my direction.

"Should we let him rest for a bit?" I hesitantly asked Eeram.

"I think.. yeah, we should."

"Mr. Rathore, you may rest for a bit.. We'll be back soon after taking care of everything else. Are you fine with that? And if you need any help or if there is anything bothering you, don't be afraid to tell us or.."

I paused and grabbed a small device. I handed it to him.

"This will help you. Give it a click and it'll let me know that you're calling."

Azad's POV

What's this device? I suppose it's the same as the old fashioned ones but.. more at reach. I couldn't help but give her a genuine smile. Which.. was quite difficult to do.

"Thank you.. very much." I replied in the same hoarse voice I had earlier.

Soon, both of them left the room.

I stared off to the ceiling. The lights causing my eyes to squint.

I tried to relax. But, I couldn't. There was too much pressure on my shoulders. What about the missions? The girls? The jail? My job?..

My heart began to beat faster as those thoughts rush through my mind. It was too much to think of, especially when I am in this state. Unable to move properly or even speak properly. When.. When will this end?

-----------

Shourya's POV

"So this guy you saved-"

"Rathore?"

"Yes, him. Did you know him before the accident?"

My closest friend, Kavitha, questioned. We were in a café which was at the first floor of the hospital. Whenever I'm not too busy, I often chat with her there.

"No. I might have heard of him but this is my first time seeing him in person," I leaned back on the chair after answering.

"Oh.. So he just woke up. When will he fully recover then?"

I was silent for a moment. Kavitha was waiting for an answer, she was curious of how I would handle all this.

"I can't just predict when he will recover fully, Kavi. This morning he was finally conscious and he'll need to get used to with his surroundings first. But it's best to start the therapy today."

This wasn't my first time treating a coma patient, but.. something just felt different.

"So you'll be taking care of him until he recovers? Just you?" Kavitha takes a sip of her coffee while looking at me.

"Well, Eeram will help me out. She knows him more than I do. I've worked with her before this."

I started to feel weight on my shoulders. I still can't believe everything that happened weeks ago. He is out of his critical state, but I'm still cautious about it. I can't let anything bad happen.

"Rya, something's uh.. beeping in your purse," Kavitha tries to check out what it is.

Ah, the device I gave him. But wait, why would he press it now? Is something troubling him? I grabbed my purse to check. I was correct, it is the beeping from the device.

I took out a few notes from my purse and placed it on the table. Kavitha looks confused when I instantly got up from my chair.

"It's on me, just keep the change."

"But Shour-"

Before Kavitha could finish, I rushed to the nearest elevator and pressed the fourth floor button. I walked out as fast as I could. I took a deep breath and gave the door a light knock before entering.

"You called.. Mr. Rathore?"

He didn't say anything. Instead, he just stared at me. Maybe I should try asking him first?

"Is there anything you need?.."

"I.. accidentally pressed.. the button.. sorry."

He said in a tone which was difficult for me to detect. I stared at him with a puzzled but relieved look on my face.

"You.. didn't need anything? Nothing's troubling you? All good?"

I asked him again to make sure. Did he really accidentally press that button?

-------

Azad's POV

I didn't accidentally press it. I pressed it because I needed company. But, it would be stupid for me to say something like that. There was no one in the room and I was all alone. That's why I pressed the device's button.

The girls did promise to stay here tonight as well, but it is still the afternoon.

Dr. Shourya.. she asked me questions and I just nodded to her words. Soon I decided to speak to her.

"When.. will I start my physical therapy?"

My body still felt stiff. Thankfully I can move my arm, though I have to be slow and careful. Im not so sure about standing or walking..

"It's best to start as soon as you're conscious and.. you already are. We can start that now," She smiles at me and went out the room for a moment. She came back with a wheelchair.

She sighs then approached me. I wasn't able to get up on my own and it seems like she will be helping me.

"Just hold onto me and I'll get you on the wheelchair, yeah? I won't drop you, I promise."

She adds in a light joke to brighten the mood, which was nice.. I admit.

I followed her instructions, I was afraid of falling. She lifted me and placed me onto the wheelchair carefully.

"Good to go?" She asked, making sure I was already comfortable.

I nodded and adjusted myself as much as I am able to on the chair.

Dr. Shourya brought me to another room, which wasn't too far from the room I stayed in.

I look up at her. She was placing my IV fluids to a pole which has wheels underneath, probably to help me move a little freely.

"Okay.. Mr. Rathore."

"Please.., just call me Azad."

"..Noted. Azad, what you're seeing infront of you are parallel bars. These bars are for you to hold onto while you relearn to walk. It.. might take some time until you can walk regularly. But, you're not on your own. I will assist you as well. Always," Dr. Shourya turns towards the parallel bars.

I have to.. relearn how to walk? This could take months. She will assist me but.. I still feel nervous. I could barely move my legs much for now, how will I even balance?

I stared at those parallel bars.

"Are you ready to start, Azad?" Dr. Shourya looks at me over her shoulder.

I sighed and nodded with hesitance.

"Im.. ready."

To Be Continued...
