I laid her down and covered her with blankets sitting beside her

"I can't stay in here, di will find out" she says

"And does it look like I give a single fuck?" I asked

"Manik she"

"Does not matter Nandini, you look like you haven't sleep for days, so close your eyes and sleep"

"You haven't slept either" she mumbles

'No I haven't but I have to sort this stuff out first so sleep"

"Why do I not feel the comfort I used to from you?" She asked making me sigh

I was being distant, I mean yes I know she wasn't completely at fault but the fact that she hid it from me for 3 days, putting herself and I though hell wasn't needed.

The fact that for 3 fucking days I didn't know why she did what she did and the fact that she somewhat believes this could be my child upset me. I mean if she would have asked I would have told her what happened with veebha but she hid it from me

yes she suffered and yes she wanted whats best for me but she took herself away from me, I fucking begged for her and she didn't once gave me a hint, a fucking clue that something was wrong

"Manik" her whisper made me look at her

"Yeah?"

"Why are you being distant? Whats wrong?" She asked

"Nothing, mhm here why don't you go sleep in your room then and I mhm well I have some things I need to deal with" I say trying not to sound harsh

"Manik please"

"Please what?"

"Don't push me away" she whispered

"Well you fucking pushed me away for 3 days Nandini so im sorry if right now I need to figure out how to fix this so I can fix us"

Her face fell, her eyes filled with tears, gosh I didn't wanna be that harsh.

"I am sorry, I mhm I was worried for"

"Yes for me I know you were but I told you that lies and secrets fuck up a relationship and I didn't want that but you went right ahead and lied to my face. You decided on how you wanna deal with this situation and that's fair enough but neither one of us get these days back, nor the feelings we went through" I told her

"I know but can you forgive me" she asks

"I have but I need to figure this situation first"

"Im sorry" she mumbles reaching out for my hand

Sighing I put my hand over hers as she held onto my hadn't tighter leaning onto the side of my arm

"I am sorry, I am so sorry" she cried

"I know shortcake, I know. for now I need you to go to your sleep and sleep for a bit"

"No, I can't, I can't sleep. Please manik"

"Nandini"

"No I am not going to my room, I don't care. Please don't be upset at me"

"You lied to me"

"I did, yes I lied but I lied for you manik. I was scared that you would not be able to play hockey anymore" she cries

she wasn't wrong.

I picked her up in my arms as she sat in my lap straddling me, her legs on either side of me, her face hid in my neck

"Breath, shhh quiet, breath" I kiss her forehead
