Transfer of Rick and Tia

Many people were gathered outside of the house and altogether had gifted her an electric scooter. They had seen her walking roundabout in the city from morning to night. She was very happy with whatever they have gave her.

She told all the people that she was sleepy as she had done her studies until the morning and left the place to get sleep. She was really exhausted. Sister Tia handled the remaining work.

In the afternoon, Abha's growling stomach woke her up. She was feeling hungry as she had skipped her food due to the operation. The smell from the kitchen entered her nose. Being fresh she walked towards the kitchen and sat at the dining table.

Rick was sitting opposite her and looking at Abha with a questioning gaze and spoke, "First; Happy birthday Sister. Wish you a happy, long and satisfying life. Be healthy and always have a smile on your face...Lastly, tell me what happened yesterday."

"Brother Rick I am hungry now. Let's talk after having food."

"Okay-" he compromised.

After having some food, Rick and Tia along with Abha entered the underground lab. Then she told them about the incident.

"Sis, what should I say to you...what will you do if he is a criminal? Why don't you think about your safety," Rick asked.

"Bro, You both and I, are medical students. You won't neglect a patient just because they are criminals, will you? I am doing the same. But don't worry if a doctor has the capability to bring death man to life, they can also do the vice-versa. I will keep that as my last resort."

"Hmm...okay do what you want. Now let's talk about his situation..."

"Okay, when do you think he will gain consciousness?"Abha asked.

"Abha let's transfer him to hospital. I will make an arrangement for him to be in my hospital in country M. That way I can also look for him and you will go with me, won't you? You won't let a man die after you saved...it will not be worth your effort. You have to take care of him too as you know I may be busy." Actually, he wasn't trying to transfer the patient but to lure Abha to go with him.

"Why does he need to go to the hospital? Won't he be fine here?" Abha rolled her eyes.

Rick spoke seriously, "Listen, Sister, he got a gunshot in his head. That can mess with his nervous system. What will happen to him is still unknown. We don't have an advanced machine to check here in this lab, so he needs to be admitted. If he is admitted to Pliuca, questions will arise about his operation. Bringing country M will be better. Maybe he will go into a deep sleep or turn comatose for who knows how much time. Moreover, I can't leave you alone with a stranger."

"Yeah. Abha please go with us to country M," Tia added.

"Okay bro do whatever you think is fine."

Both Rick and Tia were happy with her decision and immediately transferred the patient to country M. Bidding bye to all the neighbors, elders, kids, the boss, and everyone she knew from Pliuca, her new chapter of life in country M started.

***

Bringing the patient directly to Country M hospital, a brief test was conducted. Half a day later the results were out. Abha, Tia, and Rick with some of their colleagues were gathered in their meeting room. Seeing them being too serious Abha couldn't hold back and asked.

"Hello, Doctors!! How is he? He will be fine isn't it?"

"Yeah, he is fine now as he is only comatose but--" the doctor who was replying looked at Rick. The doctor was asking Rick by his eyes if the truth should be said or not.

"Don't worry, She is my sister and also studying medicine. So, tell the actual situation." Rick spoke aloud.

"Okay then. The patients' bruises will be fine with time, only some scars may remain. The only problem will be his head. As he is comatose, we can't find the actual situation. But some small parts of his brain have been affected. That won't be a life-threatening danger but some changes would be seen later. Actually, it is just a hypothesis...maybe he could be fine too." the same doctor replied.

"Thank you for your hard work doctors. If he is fine for now, then we can only wait for his wake to know more. So, let's leave it for later...Do we need to hospitalize him?" Abha asked

"You can. He would be given good care here but all your presence will be needed...talking with him about his past could help him to gain consciousness."

"Oh!! yeah, he can be given a private ward. That's the advantage of being doctor's Rick brother," one of their colleagues tried to joke. Maybe the doctors misunderstood the relationship...why wouldn't they either- Rick had written brother in the relationship column when filling the hospital form. So, whoever knew the reality didn't deny anything.

Then the patient was admitted to the hospital. The ward wasn't a VIP ward but had a sofa beside the bed. The patient could be given complete privacy. An unauthorized person couldn't enter the room.

Abha was satisfied with the arrangement. Afterward, Rick took Abha to his apartment, and then onwards Abha's life in country M began.

Abha tried to adjust in there. She continued her study and got a job as a part of a medical team at a welfare center. She had to check the condition of the old age and children of the orphanage. Her roundabout visit to work, college, Rick's apartment, and the hospital continued.

More than staying in Rick's apartment, Abha stayed in the hospital. She had made some interior changes in the ward, the sofa was placed far away. She slept there without disturbing the patient.

Abha wanted to give privacy to the lovebirds...

The brother-sister's relationship was much stronger than before. Maybe Rick was the only person who could understand Abha more than herself.

In such a way four months went by. In the fifth month, both Rick and Tia decided to hold a wedding. They hold a simple marriage inviting only their friends and Tia's family. Abha was only a family member of Rick as she didn't need their invitation. Tia wasn't close to her family as her own mother was already dead, and the participation of her family was only a formality.

Abha was very happy for them and hoped they will remain as a loving couple as their grandparents used to be when they were alive.

After the marriage, the newlywed couple returned to Pliuca to visit the family grave. When they returned they had an announcement to make to Abha.

In the evening sitting in the living room, Abha noticed the worried environment and spoke first, "How were both of your journeys to Pliuca, did you meet anyone-?"

"Everything was good. Sister, I have something to tell you."

"Okay I am listening"

"Sister...that is--" Rick scratched his head but couldn't complete.

"We both got a promotion and transfer letter from the hospital, we have no choice but to go country Ofger for living onward. It's far away from here, maybe exactly opposite side from country M. We tried for your visas but they rejected..."Tia spoke holding Abha's hand.

"Okay, what's the problem then? Are you both afraid to leave me alone. I also don't wish to transfer now. You both got promotion then..where are the treats?" Abha tried to lighten the mood of the people present.

"Sure-sure. What do you want to eat or where do you want to go--" the gloomy situation disappeared with the laughter.
