His sunshine

Chapter 15

Manik's pov

Nandini ran downstairs like a girl high on freaking I don't know what but she makes me happy. Even after such a shitty afternoon and evening her one smile lights up my world

I groaned in pain a little but I knew that I couldn't tell nandini or she would either start crying or become really worried and sad. I want neither of those so just gotta suck it up but this is the worst he has gotten me.

I moved a little but the pain shot through my rips making me yell a little. Within a few seconds nandini was up with a tray in her hand. I tried smiling at her but it just wasn't working, I was in so much pain.

"Where does it hurt" she asked

"Umm im good, I just dropped something" I lied

"Don't lie to me" she said putting the tray infant of me

"My ribs, I don't know why but it hurts" I said and she lifted my t shirt causing my gaze to follow her hands

"Look at me" she said and I looked up in her eyes

"I know it hurts a lot, but I need you to have food so I can give you pain killers" she said caressing my ribs

Her cold shivering hands felt soothing on my aching rib and heart. She was healing my scars and no not just the physical ones but the ones that lay deep within my heart and soul

"Can I have pain killers now" I asked and she shook her head

"They are a heavy dose so you need food first" she said forwarding soup to me making me turn my face

"Gross" I mummbled

"It is not, try it before you diss it"

"It looks colourless"

"Well sick food is colourless but don't you worry I did taste it and it's not bad so open up cowboy" I melted at the nickname so I opened my mouth

It wasn't too bad but id rather have pizza

"Can I have pizza" I asked and she shook her head

"No pizza until you are better and something tells me it's gonna take a bit" she said feeding me

"But"

"Mani don't distract yourself from what you are feeling inside, it is only going to get worse before it gets better. You know how when you get a bruise it always gets worse before it gets better, that's how our hearts are too. It will hurt and I can tell you that with experience but I want you to share that pain with me. Im right here and I will hold onto you I promise baby"

My eyes watered hearing this, they comfort me. I knew right this second that I loved her but I wasn't gonna tell her yet I couldn't. I had to get better to give her a good life, sure I was stable financially but emotionally I had to get better to take care of her

"Thank you nandini" I said and she smiled

"Thank you manik for existing" I smiled hearing her, she makes me happy

She fed me food and ate some as well once I forced her to. She put the dishes away and came up to me to give me a bath yup this was happening

"Nandini I will manage" I said

"I know but it's gonna hurt and it's a sponge bath anyways" she said for the 10th time

Giving up I got up with her help as we walked to the bathroom, she carefully made me sit on a stool and took off my t shirt and jeans. I swear I have never had such an intimate moment with anyone.

"Don't look at me like that manik" she said shyly giving me a sponge bath

"Like what" I asked

"You know how" I smiled knowing what she is talking about

"It's too soon nandini"

"I agree but we both know how this is gonna go so who cares"

"Im still not saying anything"

"And I don't want you to not until you know it in your heart that this is where you belong. I don't want you taking decisions because of a single event"

"You are so mature for your own age"

"Thank you thank you" she said giggling

Once she was done giving me a bath, she stepped out so I could change, I called her back in once I was done and she helped me to the bed again. I was damn irritated with this stupid iv bag and rod like fuck it hurts every time I move

"Janna please take this off, it's pissing me off" I said messing with the iv

"Manik stop paying attention to it, and it's for your own good mani, I can't have that taken off im sorry" she said caressing my arm

"But it's irritating me" I said and she sighed

"I know but please keep it on at least until the nurse has cleared yours she or he will come in the morning" she said and I nodded helplessly

I felt like crying for some reason, I just felt drained and even though I was putting a good face in front of Nandini, I was so damn scared to lose her. I thought I was never going to see her again.

As if sensing im not in a happy mood, she took her hoodie off and laid down in bed with me. She smiled and let me rest my head on her shoulder.

"It's okay to cry manik, let it out" she said and I pushed myself move in her shoulder and neck just bursting out crying

"You are so strong manik, and im so proud of you" she said caressing the nape of my neck

I sniffled in her neck as she pressed kisses along my temple, I wrapped my arm around her digging my face in her chest and she wrapped both arms around my back caressing softly
