She had placed a walker on the side of the bed .
"Ah_" Vivan tried to move his injured leg .
Ira winced at his sudden outcry of pain . Even a slight moment was giving him pain . How could he walk?
She moved to support him but was stopped by the doctor, "He had to do this himself . "
The doctor was the well-known orthopaedic surgeon of the country who performed the surgery . She couldn't question his method or refute his words .
"Turn to one side and then lift the leg . " While he gave his instructions, a nurse supported him to get down . It took a long time to turn to a side and get the good leg down .
Now it was the turn of his fractured leg . After every second, he stopped for a breath .
He got up, and with the help of the frame, he stood up .
It was Vivan's first tie to stand on his feet after the surgery . The leg looked bend at the knee .
As the sole of feet touched the ground, a bolt of pain ran from his leg through the spine and spread all over his body . He stumbled, but doctor backed him .
"Step . " The doctor assisted him further . Ira stood dumb waiting for his step . With a tense face, she clenched her clothes .
Vivan took a step, placing only little weight on the injured leg . Repressing the shrill, he bit his lip . Drops of sweat that coated his forehead displayed the agony he suffered .
Whenever he felt the pain, Ira flinched as if she was the one suffering . She had a tense face, and her eyebrows wrinkled not too obvious in fear that Vivan would notice her nervousness and get more nervous .
A pair of black eyes stared at him with a forced smile . Behind those eyes were restlessness one couldn't imagine .
It was a fracture, and he was suffering so much . The thought of severing his leg took away her breath . She placed on her chest and decided to compensate for all the pain he suffered last life .
Only after a few steps, his fingers clasped the walker and gasped . Although he looked strong, the slight tremble leaked his discomfort . And he was held back to the bed .
"Walk short distance, exercise and take care . " The doctor instructed before leaving .
"Come here," Vivan said to Ira . With messy steps somewhat fragile steps, she ran to him .
"Need something," she said . Vivan's hands brushed her face and wiped the wetness . Even she had no idea when tears formed on her face .
All wasn't done . Now, it was time for physiotherapy on the bed .
The physiotherapist lifted Vivan's leg and taught him the exercised . Ira stood beside him and noted everything in her mind . All this time, Vivan held Ira's hand all the time . When in pain, he squeezed it hard, but she didn't say a word . Her other hand brushed his hair gently . "Slow . You can do it . " she coaxed him .
Doctors said he would be in constant pain for months . From him, she came to know that at the site, Vivan's leg was bent in a weird shape . The rescuers had to pull it hard to align the bone . That pain was much worse than this . This was the reason, at the site he was still in the ambulance without a case for a long time .
On top, he also had some flesh injury . As the doctor explained they should prevent the injury from infection . It would complicate their case .
"The face doesn't suit you . " He never looked so vulnerable in her entire life . Or maybe he never noticed his vulnerability . Only when she loved him she felt his pain . She wished to take away all his suffering .
"Stay with me,'
"I'm here . "
