208. Traumatic incident part 8

She clenched her fists getting restless, not to get unconscious.

Both Neil and Bobby were worried.

Bobby took out his phone and was about to call the doctor.

Neil moved closer, shook her a little harshly and patted firmly on her cheek not able to hold on himself seeing her condition worsening.

Neil: (worriedly but loud) Mini.... Mini.... main Neil... Neil Oberoi... Tumhara Neil.

Mini gasped and trembled badly coming out of panic and opened her eyes. 

Bobby stopped seeing her coming back to senses.

She sobbed hard and tried to pull in a breath coming to the senses, this time slowly.

Neil: (Caressing her cheek) Main Neil hu Mini... Tumhara Neil... Main yaheen hu... Tumhare paas... Tum safe ho.

Mini wrapped her arms around him and again snuggling on him, trembling badly, started crying. Neil embraced her protectively and let her feel safe.

Neil: (Caressing her head) Relax.... Relax Mini... Main yahi hu.... Tum bilkul safe ho... Main hu tumhare paas...

Bobby placed candles again in the room till Neil consoled Mini.

After a long consoling hug, She calmed down.

Her breaths was still heavy.

Neil was feeling disheartened as Mini didn't speak anything since she came out of panic but sooner he heard her voice again. 

Mini: Light... kyu... band... hai?

Neil: Power cut hai.... Bobby candles laga raha hai... Relax... Main hu yahi... Hmm?

Mini: (sobbed hard) Hmm...

They parted. Neil placed some more candles in the room with Bobby and there was dim light in the room by then.

Mini hugged her knees and closed her eyes tightly. She was stiffening her body maybe trying to cope up with something and her breath was slow again. 

Neil saw her forehead had a deep tensed frown. She scratching her arms and was scratching on her neck too restlessly.

She already had deep scratches which had healed a little somehow but her anxious acts was making the injuries again fresh.

Neil came to her but couldn't understand what's happening to her as she never reacted like this in the past week. Bobby also saw her scratching herself.

As she was wearing a sleeveless top with a deep round neck, Neil could see her arms and neck getting red and she still not stopping.

Neil: (holding her hands) Mini.... Stop.... It's hurting you.

Tears flowed from her eyes and she tried taking back her hands but Neil's hold was firm.

A few secs later, Neil leaving her hands saw that she didn't scratch it again and sighed. 

He took out a cream and slowly applied it on her arms, blowing on it.

She relaxed her arms and sighed. Resting her head on the headboard of the bed, she relaxed her body too, breathing slowly.

Neil: Neck pe bhi laga du?

Mini: (weakly) Hm...

She raised her chin. Neil applied the cream on her neck and she winced as the scratches were fresh. Neil slowly blowed on her neck and her frown faded with a relief on her face.

Neil slowly slid his finger on her neck and arms to let the cream absorb on her skin and she sighed deeply, closing her eyes.

Neil and Bobby both were looking at her worriedly.
