I was exhausted and decided to rest for a while on the couch in the small waiting area. Just as I was about to sit down, a sudden loud voice startled me. My body froze for a second, but as soon as I recognized the voice, my heart skipped a beat. It was Radha. There was no doubt about it. She was shouting, her voice filled with fear, as if something terrible had happened to her.

Without wasting a second, I rushed toward the direction of her voice, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. As I reached the spot, my eyes widened in shock. Radha was standing there, struggling to hold back her pain, her thumb bleeding heavily. The deep red liquid dripped down her fingers, staining her hand. She looked scared, her face pale, and her eyes filled with panic as she tried her best to stop the bleeding.
