"Everything is gonna be fine. Calm down, please. I won't let anything happen to you, right?"

She gave me a brief look before nodding her head hesitantly. I never saw her break down like this though it's pretty obvious that she is not stronger like she always pretends to show herself. I knelt beside the sofa hugging her to me as her hot ragged breath kept fanning my neck. The watchman came back with a glass full of water.

"Thank you. Please leave it on the coffee table and you can leave."

He nodded and headed out of the main door closing it behind. I sighed in relief when I noticed her breathing getting finally normal in a steady pace.

"Are you okay now? Need water?", I caressed her hair.

"Yes", she untangled her hands from my neck. I wrapped my hands around her waist and helped her to sit by leaning her on the couch. I took the glass from the coffee table and lifted it to her lips. She looked at me warily but gulped down the content. I sighed as I sat besides her, "How do you feel now? Should I call the doctor?"

"No, I am fine.", she bluntly said and averted her gaze to look straight ahead of her.

But she doesn't look fine at all, her hands are still trembling and sweat beads are lined up on her forehead.

"Do you wanna talk about it?", I tried hard to sound in a soothing way, but failed miserably as it came out in a void of emotion tone. With tears brimming eyes, she bit her lower lip to control herself from bursting out, the thing she always do whenever she pretends to show herself stronger.

"It's okay if you don't want to.", I intertwined my fingers with her trembling ones to assure I am with her.

"Your parents must be sleeping right now but I can call them if you wanna talk to them."

She gave me a weird look, "I mean... You were mumbling about them, so I thought you might wanna talk to them you know?"

She glanced at me for quite a while and shook her head, "No, thanks."

She closed her eyes and leaned her head on the couch. I sighed as I mimicked her and leaned my head on the couch. A comforting silence filled between us, neither of us want to break it until I broke the ice.

"A bad nightmare?"

"I think so.", her voice is still wobbly.

"Wanna sleep?"

She nodded without opening her eyes. "I don't have any problem if you want to sleep with me in my room? Because going back to your room doesn't sound like a good idea."

"I will sleep here on the couch. You just go back to your room. Sorry I disturbed you -"

"Hey it's okay. But I can't let you alone. Come with me or we will sleep here together."

Her eyes are boring into mine like she is searching for something in them. "No, you don't have to -"

I again cut her off, "I know. But I want to."

She gave me a sad smile and nodded her head. "So, couch or my room?"

"Couch.", she thought for a while before asking, "But where will you sleep?"

"Of course on the couch with you.", I winked at her. "The couch can easily accommodate the two of us. All we need to do is hug each other, we can easily fit in."
