She soon completed her breakfast. Even after having her breakfast, she looked sleepy. I guess she isn't wide awake. So I thought of letting her take rest. She rested her shoulders in my chest, and her head on my shoulder. She slowly closed her eyes, and I was swaying her the entire time.
After making sure that she had slept, I decided to bring her to our bedroom. I made her lie down on it, and since I was also on leave, decided to stay by her side and update some datas in my laptop.
I brought my laptop and sat by the table near the bed. I was very concentrated on doing the work, causing me to lack keeping track of time. When I looked at the clock, it was 11 am.
I thought to wake her up. As I was standing from my seat, I heard her sobbings while moving in sleep. I guess it might be some nightmare. Before I could reach her, she rolled away to the other side of the bed, unknowingly and fell off the bed, resulting in pushing the nearby flower vase and landed directly on it.
She screamed in pain and woke up with her eyes wide open in both shock and pain. I immediately ran to her, and tried picking her up from the tangled sheets, which made her cry more.
I removed the duvet and saw that she has got several scratches and some of the piece struck into her skin from the broken glass vase. She was not allowing me to carry her or even move her.
Baby... Shhh... It's nothing... Just let me carry you away from those glass pieces .. please babygirl.. come on... Just let me help you ...
But she doesn't seem to budge, so I tried being stern.
I said let me help you baby. Listen to me if you want the pain to go away. Let me handle it.. Understood?
She opened her eyes and looked at me with tears continuously shedding. I carefully lifted her, being cautious about her injured back. Her cried increased; that might be due to the movement caused in the injured area. I then took her to our bathroom and placed her on the toilet seat.
I very carefully made her sit sideways to have a look at the injury.
I guess it's gonna be a very painful process...
Arghh!! Why did I even let this happen? I should have been there by her side, even while she was asleep....
I thought of calling my brother, who is also a doctor. Because, in this case, I should be there for her when she endures the pain during the treatment. So I should be the one to embrace her while she is getting treated.
I brought her water and asked her to take some sip. She was continuously crying, but nevertheless took some sips, obeying to my words, as she is not ready to get anymore stern words or stern gaze from me. That pained my heart even more.
I made a phone call from the bathroom itself, not ready to leave her side even for a minute. While I was standing near her and dialling my brother, she was gripping both my thighs with her cute little hands and was sobbing while looking up at me, making my heart clench at the sight.
In phone ..
Hello brother, it's me..
I want you to come to my home immediately.
No I'm okay, Fiya got hurt on her back..
Umm... No .. it's just.... okay... listen ... I'll just message you the details of her injury.
Haa... Okay brother... Bye..
I started typing him a message of the severity of her injury. I didn't want to tell it on the phone, and let her hear it and get scared. I wanted her to be as calm as possible at the moment.
I kneeled nearby her, and looked at the wounds. She was trying to get off the seat and reach me. But I shushed her and told her that I was going to take off her shirt in order to look at the wound. She told me that she wasn't wearing anything inside.
I went into our room and brought a sports bra. I removed her shirt and she again tried to jump onto my lap. She was bawling her eyes out. So I didn't stop her, instead received her into my lap. She hugged my neck tightly with her hands and hugged my waist with her legs. I carefully dre soothing circles near her neck, not wanting to cause infections in the wounded aut by touching them.
I tried making her wear the sports bra, but she wouldn't budge. So I continued drawing circles down her neck.
