Manik's pov
George, the pilot who has always flew with me comes back from the pit to let me know we are going to fly in the next 20 minutes, he was doing some rechecks and making sure everything is okay.
I look beside me to see Nandini's eyes closed, her face was bright red with marks, her neck and throat had marks, her wrists was bright red. The side of her arm was green, and even though she was walking around fine at the wedding venue, she had started limping afterwards.
It was weird to see her beaten up, I have know her for about 3 years or so and though her and I are never on the same page with things, she is a happy person. She likes to be running aorund the house, messing with cabir and mom, her mom I mean but ever since dad brought up the marriage and her father forced her into this she hasn't smiled much, not that I care
This marriage was strictly business and It will remain that way but I did promise her mom that I would take care of her and I won't let her run around alone since she barely has any knowledge of what this world this about.
her stomach growls so loud that I could hear it, and no it wasn't a slow rumble, it was multiple ones and all she did was clutch her stomach with her hands, not being bothered at all with how hungry she was.
"Hey" I whisper caressing her arm
She jumps up flinching back covering her face from me, anger was all I could feel. She was scared of me or of someone else but she was scared
"It's okay im not going to hurt you" I find myself assuring her
She drops her hands from her face and looks at me, she looks around and sees that we are on a flight. She close her eyes taking deep breaths until she was okay.
"Did you want food?" I ask her
She shakes her head but her stomach rumbles again.
"Jenifer, grab me some food" I say to one of the flight attendants
"Right away sir" she replies to me
"I don't want anything" nandini whispers
"Doesn't matter, im not going to sit here and listen to your stomach complaining. Eat and sleep" I say
"Do you think I can have some ointment?" She asks
"What kind do you need?" i ask her looking to see what she needs it for
"My feet hurt really bad" she says
I grab her legs placing them over my lap
"Manik stop" she says pulling them back
"Don't" I warn her, she immediately stops making my lips turn up a bit to smile but I stop myself.
I won't lie, I like how she listens to me, she knows I would never hurt her but the way she listens and the way her body reacts to my words and touches
i take her shoes off and then her socks. Her feet were red with blisters starting to form, it looked beyond painful yet her face didn't show emotions, as far as mom described she has a very low pain tolerance so I don't know why she hadn't said anything to me
Jennifer brings me the ointment along with a wet cloth, I wipe her feet and put the ointment on her feet, a soft moan releases her mouth as I massage the ointment into her feet slowly. I am not a boy who fears touching my girl's feet, I would massage them for her every day if she wanted
I know this is a marriage of convinience but my mother has taught me well to take care of my wife and I will not disappoint her or nandini's mom.
"You don't have to" she whispers
"This isn't acceptable nandini" I say putting her socks back on but leaving her shoes off
"Im sorry, I didn't want you to touch my feet, I"
"Not what I'm talking about" I reply
"Jenifer get me food now"
"It's just warming up" she replies
a couple minutes later she brings out warm chicken and rice placing it not he counter in front of us. She also had gotten me some coke and water since thats all I drink.
"Eat up" I whisper to nandini
she sits up a little, not moving her feet off me. She takes the plate onto her lap, a whinny noise leaves her lips making me grab the warm plate
"Use this nandini" I say tapping her temples
I place the plate in my hands and she licks her lips looking at the chicken and rice. She rubs her hands together giggling a bit making me chuckle at her excitedness. The girl didn't even want food and now she was looking at the food like it's the most beautiful thing ever
she grabs the spoon digging in, she moans at the taste of the food and the next thing she does makes my heart feel a bit warm and fuzzy. She grabs another spoonful and forwards it to my lips, I look up at her to see a smile on her lips
"It's yummy, you know I tried making it once. God, I think the plants I threw it n had plant poisoning" she says scrunching her nose
I lean forward taking the food from her, she hums in satisfaction moving her head side to side as she ate happily feeding me a couple bites in between too.
"No more" she says nodding her head with a smile
"There are only a couple bites left, finish it please" I say as softly as I could
She does the cutest thing, she places her hand on her stomach caressing and then nodding. She takes a bite and then feeds me one bite finishing the food up. Jenifer takes the plates back while nandini hums as she finishes chewing the food.
"Do you want some desert?" I ask
"Desert?" She questions as her eyes light up and a smile adores her face
"Yeah, desert"
"I want a white chooc bronie" she says
"We don't have them here but ill get you some after we land, how does chocolate chips cookies sound?" I ask
"Yummy" she whispers
"Jenifer can you grab me a couple cookies heated up"
"Of course" she replies
"Warm warm" nandini whispers as the cookies are brought out
she giggles grabbing the cookie takin a bite, she then gave me a bite like she did with the food. It was sweet of her to offer me some even though I can grab some for myself. She likes sharing food, thats new, because one of the first times I met her at a family dinner, she glared at me when I ate the last bite of cake, on the table
"Yummy" she whispers licking the chocolate off her fingers
i grabbed a warm cloth wiping the chocolate off her lips giving the cloth and the cookie dish back to Jennifer
"Full tummy" she says to herself patting her stomach
I shake my head at her antics, she isn't a 25 year old well yes she is but the things she does are not something an adult would do.
