Manik's pov
When I woke up in the afternoon I smiled seeing nandini so close to me, her lips were on mine, her tiny hand held onto my face. She was in the exact same position as I saw her before falling a sleep earlier this morning
I pecked her lips a few times mumbling a soft good morning before pulling back from her. I sat up resting my back on the headrest as I caress her hair gently hoping I don't wake her up.
I grabbed my phone and changed my wallpaper to one of the photos I took of her laughing at the beach this morning. I went through some school emails I had gotten and some hockey pr stuff.
It was 1 in the afternoon so I put my phone down putting it on silent and searched for Nandini's to find it already on silent so I kept them on the table.
Before getting up, I covered nadnini with a blanket and while I was doing so I noticed a huge red mark on her hips since her shorts rode down and her t shirt up as she turned around in sleep. It wasn't fresh obviously but it wasn't too old either, like it wasn't older than a week or two which is so weird because how would she have gotten it
I lifted her t shirt up caressing the bruise a little to find it swollen, how the hell is she getting such a bruise, its definitely not from running into something. I mean sure she is clumsy and runs into everything
Like this one time she was running around navya trying to catch her in the living room and she completely didn't see the huge table we have and ran into it falling on the floor
I saw that bruise and this isn't that, this is fresh and It had to be with a lot of force leaving that big of a mark, like from glass or a metal thing, Im not sure, but it sure as hell isn't old
I know she will argue about it for sure but I know this isn't from home, this is from here, but how? She is always around me unless I'm at practice but she is always fine and excited when I come back
Taking a huge breath I kissed her forehead and placed a few pillows around her, I walked to the bathroom to shower and I couldn't help but think about what's going on with her when cabir and I aren't home.
I heard the door so I quickly put on sweats getting out of the shower and walking outside to see alia standing there.
"What are you doing in my room" I ask
Her eyes shifted from nandini to me in shock or confusion, im not sure, but this is weird
"Mhm oh I was just looking for Nandini" she said
"Why?" I ask
"No reason, mhm why are you with her?" She asked
"Excuse me?"
"No what I mean is why is she in your room? She should be in hers or cabir's not yours"
"Who gave you the right to ask me questions?" I ask annoyed
"Manik you are one of the hottest boy in college and you go for her, why? I mean is it the sex because"
"Shut the fuck up alia, shut up! Sex seriously? You are talking about your sister, your younger sister and this is what you think of?"
"That's the only thing I can think of that could be keeping you with her"
"Well clearly you don't know shit so get out of my room"
she walked closer to the bed making me walk closer to Nandini, I wasn't sure what she was thinking, planning, god why is she so fucking annoying
Before I could understand her next move she grabbed Nandini's arm harshly pulling on it causing her to wake up crying
"Ahhhh" she screamed
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM" I screamed at her pushing alia a bit
Now I would never lay a hand on a women to push them but that rule is off the god damn book if she lays a hand on my nandini
"Shhh im sorry baby" I whisper pulling her in a hug
She sobbed holding her arm which concerned me more
"Shh shh sweetheart you are okay" I coo but her sobs got louder
I pulled back and lifted her selves up since she was wearing a full sleeve t shirt, she had this bruise on her arm, like someone had held her arm so tight. It wasn't from alia, I mean it can't develop in a second, this is also fairly old but not old enough to be from her home
I got up form the bed but nandini grabbed my sweats, her innocent eyes looking at me with hope, her cheeks shiny form the tears as she shook her head at me
"Im not going anywhere" I whisper holding her hand
"No, mani please" she cries
I sigh picking her up in my arms, her legs locked behind my back, face in my neck as she held me.
I carried her to the kitchen and grabbed an ice pack and a pack of skittles.
It sounds kiddish but whenever nandini is upset I give her skittles and they always cheers her up.
I carry her back to our room, and sat down with her in my lap.
"I need to take this off you baby" I whisper holding her t shirt
Her innocent eyes looking at me like I am the only one in this world
"Can I?" I ask
She nodded lowering her eyes as she sucked in a breath trying not to cry. I gently pulled her t shirt off leaving her in a sports bra.
I placed the ice pack on her arm causing her to jump yelping because of the cold.
"No please, it hurts" she whimpers holding my shoulder
"I know shortcake, it will help a little with the bruise and the pain. Im sorry its cold" I whisper
"It burns" she says looking at me icing her arm
"Im sorry love, it will be okay"
She nodded holding my bicep as I iced her arm for a little bit
