The Mysterious Man

Jina's POV

"Jina! Jina!"

I had a dream as if I were sleeping on my dormitory room and Yumi was trying to wake me up. As if,she was pushing me frantically to open my eyes...

"Wake up!"

I could hear her vague voice from afar....

I opened my eyes with much difficulty as I felt no amount of strength inside of me. It was feeling like,every inch of my body was aching with devastating pain.

There was dark,pitch black darkness all around ,choking me from outside.

What happened? My head was bursting with unimaginable pain and I could feel nothing in my legs as if they were cut off. I touched my head and felt something liquid dripping off, soaking my hair and face allover.

Blood!

There was an accident!

The last thing that I remembered,our driver pulling frantically the break,but he lost control. There were shrieking and cry of the passengers as we were falling from the cliff. I could vividly remember a flash of white light before the fall....

It started to rain all of a sudden as our bus was going up through the mountain. The ridge was steep, the bus was sliding away from time to time. The driver tried hard to remain as close as the side of the mountain wall,but it was too tough to do that.I tried to look outside from the bus window. A lightening from the sky suddenly showed me the deep dark ditch lurking underneath the mountain, making me shiver allover my body.

"Watch out!"

A woman shrieked loudly as we all saw a Lorry coming from the opposite direction.

There were rumbling and bustling and shrieking voices of people as two of the vehicles collided. Soon,I felt the attraction of gravity drawing us like magnet as our bus fell from the high mountain cliff.

I could remember nothing anymore but pitch black darkness devouring me from allover....

"Help..."

My voice sounded harsh and coarse as I tried to speak. It was still raining and there was lightening in the sky,flushing from time to time. My heart froze with fear as I saw where I landed for the first time. I was hanging from the branch of a tree,underneath me,there was pitch black darkness of the deep ditch. One side of my Denim skirt stuck in between the tree branches,helping me hanging on there till that time. But, it was slipping slowly, little by little and it was nearly a matter of time when I would also fall into the deep darkness to embrace the death!

"Help!"

Tears got stuck inside of my throat, making a quite pathetic choking sound. It was so feeble that I could not even hear it myself.

Once again,I felt like losing consciousness when I saw a pair of green eyes flushing through the darkness infront of me.

"Save me!"

I said for the last time...

I could feel a warm breathing on my neck and the feeling of a pair of strong hands wrapping around my waist before I fainted once again...

***

"Who are you?"

I said to the man standing just infront of me.

"Where am I? Ouch.."

I wanted to seat back but couldn’t. My head was still hurting. I touched it and felt a piece of clothing wrapped around my head.

The place that I was in,felt like an ancient abandoned old cottage. There I saw a haystack around one corner of the room,straws were piling up here and there. There I was lying in one pile of haystack. The smell inside was old and ancient. The rotten smell of the straw made the wind inside of the room heavy and archaic.

The most mysterious thing around the place was the owner himself...

I looked at him and saw the most handsome face in my whole life. His hair was all messy and I could see strawen and dry leaves inside that curly bushy hair. He had a strong-built figure, I could see his six packed tanned body which was exposed at the upper area, and for the lower area, only a piece of clothing tied around his waist to cover his private part.

"Th-thanks for saving me..."

I mumbled while looking at him.

He was busy grinding something around the corner,facing his back. His strong biceps were puffing up with his each motion.

After a while,he turned back and walked straight at me.

He was holding something inside a bowl and put it by my side.

I looked at his eyes, deep green eyes... Did I see those eyes before? I didn’t know why but I felt trust and faith while looking at those mysterious green eyes...

He sat by my side and all of a sudden, he held my head and put it on his lap!

My heart gave a funny jolt as if it dropped a beat...

He carefully untied the bandage and cleaned it with warm water. Then put something on my wound - something smelt like herbal medicine which was on the bowl and covered around my head with another bandage.

All that time,he didn’t even look at me for a second. I could feel his warm touch and hot breathe on me as he was so close to me. My lips were as close to his neck that it almost touched his neck veins. My breathings went heavy all of a sudden...

I couldn’t help but looking at him from time to time as he was tying up my bandage.

After a moment, he stood up and covered me with an old rug.

"Who are you?"

I asked with curiosity.

He looked back,said nothing. I could see him went outside, closing the door from behind.

So, in the middle of the jungle, I found someone like Tarzan,right?

I chuckled.

"Wait,are you crazy!" I said to myself. Suddenly, I realised that, I had no clothes on me!

I was fully naked, lying on a pile of haystack, just an old rug covering me from outside!

"Noooo! Did he do that? Removed my clothes?"

I shrieked out.

"Intruder!"

Suddenly I heard a loud shrieking voice of someone and almost jumped out of fear. Then I saw a large green parrot standing inside of a cage,staring at me,nodding it's head time to time upside down.

"Intruder!"

It shrieked again....

Where was I? In the middle of nowhere,naked....

Was he a pervert? Did he do something to me?

I shook with fear to have the slightest thought of it...

I took a deep breathe and looked around. I needed to go from there quickly!

Where was my phone by the way?

I nodded my head and looked here and there. I didn’t tell mom and dad about anything of my visit,otherwise, they would be so stressed to find out about the whole accident!

But that time,I was regretting about not telling them anything. Nobody knew that I was in that place! I had to tell someone! Immediately! I had to tell someone that I was safe and sound and to take me home as fast as they could...

I had to call Yumi!

But, I couldn’t see my phone anywhere!

Where could it be,,, It was on my pocket as long as I could remember. Did it fell during the accident? Could be like it.... I was stuck in a tree trunk up above the deep ditch!

The whole memory of the accident flashed infront of my eyes - it was devastating!

My head started to hurt again. I felt dizzy.

"Hello! Can you tell me where my phone is? I need to call someone! "

I said loudly, holding my head with my two hands. "Hello!"

"Don't move."

I looked up to see the mysterious man standing at the door. I shook with fear as he spoke to me with a strange harsh voice,

"You can't call anyone from here!"
