This is very different from what I imagined. He had a bed inside, a study table on the side and a journal on it, I guess. Of course it was locked. There was a mini bar and a fridge in corner. Some books on the other side.
And then there was a life size portrait of his Dad. It looked so realistic and felt like he might come out of this painting any second. I looked back at Alan and he was helping Alex to lie down on the bed. Then he went to a closet near the fridge.
Oh My God, the closet had all kind of medicine inside it. Alan quickly took out a surgical bandage, cotton, spirit and an ointment. He then grabbed an injection and opened the fridge. The fridge had all sorts of injections. He pulled out one and inserted the needle near Alex shoulder. Alex hissed with pain as he was semi-conscious.
He then took out stapler and opened Alex shirt. His wound was so fresh and it was too deep. I couldn't even look at it. As soon as Alan started to staple the area, Alex groaned.
"f**k, there is a piece of glass. you need to take that out Alan."
I was surprised. what was happening. I leaned little closer and noticed he had too many scars on his body. That's why I never saw him without shirt or half-sleeves, T-Shirt. He has scars on his chest, arm. I mean there is no place when I cant see a scar. I looked at Alan horrified and he sighed.
"I am with Sir for a very long time now. I was working as a medical assistant when Sir offered me this job. For everyone I am the driver or a guard, but I am more than that. I am his personnel doctor. This is not the first time and I think you know that by now. Every now and then Sir calls me, and my job is to apply stitches, dress up the wound and clean up any blood. Some of the medicines in fridge are pain killers, some are anesthesia which I use when he is severely injured."
I was listening all of this with my mouth open.
"So what you are trying is there is someone who hurts Alex frequently and no one knows about it? I mean why don't he tell?"
"He doesn't want to show anyone what he is going through. I have seen him cry ma'am. I don't know who that person is, but I know its a She. Once when Sir was unconscious, he was mumbling "She never loved me. She pretends she loves me, but its all a lie. I thought after all these years, I will earn her love. But even if I die, she will not even shed a tear."
"Who is she?" I was little angry now. Who can do this?
"I don't know, and I never had guts to ask Sir about this. He is a lot friendly with me, but I am not allowed to ask questions. I even pretended that whatever he said made no sense as I couldn't understand what he was saying. I didn't want him to feel awkward."
"But I can ask, right?"
"I will suggest not. In my opinion you should not even indicate that we talked about this, or you know something. I don't know how he will react."
"Alan, Can I ask you something?"
Alan was busy attending to his wound but he nodded.
"How is Alex as a person, I mean umm, have you seen him with any girl? He went to a bar few days back and you bought him back. Is he involved with anyone? I am asking because may be this SHE is someone Alex had relation with."
Alan looked at me for a second and resumed his work. He had pulled out the glass and it was a big piece. I think it belonged to a glass table. It was very thick. He was now stitching his wound.
"I have never seen him with a girl ma'am. He goes to bar, but never talks to anyone. He sits in the VIP area, alone and drinks till he feels dizzy. And as for a girlfriend, he never had one. You should not worry about it. I think Sir is too busy with his office and family problems, he hardly gets time for himself." Alan let out a sad smile.
"But he must have short relation with girls, you know what I mean." I wanted to know how Alex is as a person. He raped me, I just wanted to know if its because he was feeling deprived or he wanted me.
"Girls roam around him a lot. Whenever he goes to a party, models throw themselves on him. I can say without hesitation that girls can do anything to get a night with him. He is smart, successful, has high links. And he looks handsome too. But Sir don't even look at them. I have 8 years of experience ma'am. You should not be worried about this at all."
By this time Alan was done with the stitches, and was applying surgical bandage loosely.
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Anything."
"I need a spying device. Something like a small microphone which I can attach to anyone."
His eyes widened at what I said and I think he understood what I was going to say.
"No Ma'am, I cant do that. Putting a microphone on Sir. Do you even know what will happen if he finds out."
"Yes, I know. He will get angry, but don't worry about it. I will not take your name."
"No, you don't know. I am not worried about myself." He said with a shrug. "Sir is a very kind person. But when he gets angry, he looks no less than a monster. He stops at nothing and hurts himself, or the person in front of him without a second thought. And if he knows about you being here, in his library, I don't even want to think about it."
For the first time, I saw fear and anxiety in Alan's eyes.
"Please Alan, I want to know about this SHE, who is causing all this. And I cant do it without your help. Don't you want to know about her?"
Alan let out a defeated sigh. "Ok, I will bring one. But its ok, you can keep his secrets with yourself." Alan said with a smile. "Finally he got someone who is thinking about him."
