Tigress Woman-5

February 3, 2013

Somebody shouted, "They need air!" Hearing that, he came to himself, and checked her breathing. She wasn't breathing. Without hesitation, he started to blow into her mouth. 　He looked down at her breast to see if it expanded. He had experienced this thing in his school days. He frantically repeated it again and again. Somebody next him was doing the same way to the man, imitating his way.
After a couple of minutes, suddenly she had a big breath and revived. Soon later, the man also had a big breath and revived too. There was a big applause from the crowd. Soon an ambulance came and took the man. She had refused the ambulance. The medical staff checked her body and advised her that she should ride on the ambulance to go to the hospital, but she insisted not to. They gave up, and gave her some documents in case of a sudden change of feeling.
After the ambulance left, the crowd left one by one, until only she and he

remained. She looked at him and said, "You saved my life." He replied, "And you saved his life." They laughed. He said, "He looked OK. He seemed to have no serious injury. You are amazing!" She said, "Maybe he was lucky." They entered the nearest coffee shop for a rest. When he sat on the seat, under the light, he realized that her jacket was horribly ripped. He also saw some bruises on her face. "Are you OK?" he asked in a worried voice. She cheerfully said, "This is just a scratch, especially for an animal." He didn't laugh.
She said, changing moods, "Human watchers cannot get enough money in this country." He didn't understand what she was saying. She continued, "Human watchers can figure out people's real talent using their instincts. They are like counselors. Usually patients believe in their counselors' opinions, but in the case of us, they don't believe our opinions." Still, he didn't understand what she was saying. She continued, "We point out their real ability but they won't accept that they have that ability." "Why?" he asked. "Because they are afraid of their ability. Once, when I told a middle aged woman that she had a talent for business, she cried and said she didn't need such an ability, she only wanted to watch funny TV programs." He laughed. "In that case she only has an alternative, right?" "Not exactly. If people come to know about their ability, they feel pressure from it." He understood this time. In this country, most people want to avoid hardships; they hate making efforts and like staying in a warm room. For them it's troublesome, not a chance. He sighed.
She said, "But you are different. You are positive. You have positive eyes." She was waiting for his reaction, but he had no idea how he should react. She finally said, "I hope you help me. I want to change this country."
