SHATTERED

chapter 22

Lying on the  bed, she gently spoke to her baby:

"For those who don't need us,
why should we care in their lives? Right baby "

" you have Emily, Manson, mary and jiju"

" When You were born here,
and everyone here loved you.
They loved you so much it could suffocate you."

Hiding all her sorrows within,
the nakshatra spoke to her baby,
tears streaming from her eyes,
gently trying to sleep.

As the night fell,
her body began to tremble all over.
Slowly, slowly,
pain and heart-wrenching agony took over.
She didn't know what was happening to her.

With every passing moment,
her physical pain increased.
There were no words to describe the pain she felt in her heart,
and she didn't understand why her heart hurt so much.
Her baby began kicking relentlessly.

She lay there clenching and squeezing,
but it wasn’t working.
She worried, wondering if something was wrong with the baby.

Who could she tell about this night?
Manson, you're not in good health either.

For about an hour, nakshtra lay there,
not knowing what to do tossing and turning.

After some time, the pain eased a bit.
She went outside,
thinking a bit of fresh air might help.

As the cold wind blew,
she felt some relief again.

Earlier, her entire body felt like it was burning in agony.
She wondered if it was because she was pregnant.
But mary had never mentioned anything about it.

Afraid the pain might return,
she stayed awake the entire night.

The next morning, Alex was still sitting and watching mia

As soon as she slowly opened her eyes, Alex asked, "Are you feeling any pain? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Yesterday, I lost control, that's why."

She kept talking without stopping, which made her smile. She said, "I'm fine, there's no problem ." Then she pulled him close and lay beside him.

"There's no pain, right?" he asked again, uncertainly.

Mia caressed his head and kissed him, saying, "Yesterday was the happiest day of my life."

Hearing that, Alex hugged her tightly.

In another room rogan hadn’t slept a wink. Even after being with Serena, after having sex, he couldn’t sleep.

He felt like he had betrayed something. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake the feeling.
Exhausted, Serena had fallen asleep early.

When she woke up and  the first thing she looked at was rogan and seeing nothing there, she walked over to him where he was standing.

She hugged him from behind and asked, "Didn't you enjoy it?"

Without knowing what to say, Rogan closed his eyes. He turned around and told her, "Yesterday was the best day of my life."

But the joy didn't reach her eyes.

As much as he tried to express happiness, it seemed like fake joy.

Standing there completely naked, she started kissing him again, but Rogan said, " Go and rest. You're too tired.

Thinking he was just concerned, Serena went back to sleep.

In reality, every moment he spent with Nakshatra felt like heaven to him—her smile, her touch, everything.

But with Serena, he couldn't feel any of that.
