A gentle knock interrupts my spiral down the deep dark abyss called self-pity. A familiar voice yanks me up before I get heads deep in.
"Megha..." the voice whispers, softly. "Megha, may I come in?"
It's Suwahas. Even though muffled by the door, I could tell. I don't bother to answer; the door isn't locked, and he probably can hear me sniffle as clearly as I hear him sigh. If he cares, he'll come in himself.
I close my eyes tightly, as if that will somehow stop the tears from flowing. Dumb. I'm dumb. I've always been dumb.
The door creaks open, and I hear his footsteps approaching slowly, cautiously. I want to shrink into myself, to disappear, but I can't hide from the reality of my pain.
"Hey," he says softly and I can feel the warmth of his presence enveloping me. "It's okay. I'm here."
"Go away, I don't want you here right now," I mumble between broken sobs. It even pains me to speak. It even pains me to breathe.
"Why?" he asks, his voice steady.
"'Cause I'm in pain."
"And--?"
"And I'm not very human when I am."
I hear him chuckle. He chuckles?
My eyes snap to him, narrowing into a glare. It feels like I could rip his head off, yet he seems unfazed by my reddened eyes or my intense glare. He pushes the blanket away and sits on the edge of the bed. The bed is vast and welcomes him, though he never asked for permission.
"You have to be the first person to shoo away a doctor when you're in pain," he remarks.
