Nandini managed to straighten her face when she heard Manik calling her.
Ma-come.......let's take a bath.
Nandini bobbed her head and moved to get up but she couldn't even move. She tried to move again but hissed in pain. Manik got worried and sat beside her.
Ma-kya hova?
Nan(painfully)-mujse utha nhi jaa rha.
To check her Manik gently pressed her navel and Nandini yelled in pain. He mouthed an "oh shit" and then said her.
Ma-come I will help you.
He got up from bed and pulled out the duvet. As soon as he removed the cloth from her he could see her entire body. All she had on her body was his red finger marks, bite marks and her navel side a little reddish maroon.
Seeing so much marks he regretted getting harsh on her in first time only while Nandini was just in pain. Deciding to make it up for her he sat on his one knee on bed to pick her up.
Nandini had no energy left in her and she had to do whatever Manik makes her do. He lifted her as gently as he could but Nandini's pain was so much that she took his name painfully.
Carefully taking her in the bathroom and then placing her in the tub filled with water, Manik was abt to go out so that she could rest for sometime but as he turned he felt her palm on his stopping him.
They both looked at each other and Nandini gave his hand a tug to make him sit. Manik resisted and said.
Ma-you take rest......I will be back.
Nan-come here.
And with great difficulty she moved from the tub to make him sit behind her. Manik was still denying to which Nandini said.
Nan-just enter Manik. I won't be able to support my body anymore.
After that Manik quickly got rid of his boxers and sat in. He took his position and help Nandini to rest her back on him. Nandini's body relaxed on his chest and she closed her eyes.
Manik sat quietly letting her body to relax but the tiny guilt of seeing her in pain forced him to give her a gentle massage to ease her pain. He placed his palm very softly on her navel and started rubbing it giving her a massage.
Due to warm water Nandini's pain has subsided which is why Manik's hands were making her feel good. As her body relaxed further Manik asked.
