Chapter 143 - Corrupted Scenarios

|Innaya|

Vulnerary. I had somewhere read that word. And, that time, the word had left a deep impression on my mind. I never thought I would have a chance of using it in my life- to describe my husband. It perfectly fit him. I could never find any better word if someone were to ask me, ever.

Eshan changed my life for the better. I could not ever get tired of saying how the decision of marrying Eshan was the best decision of my life. He made my life beautiful. He made me feel beautiful. I smiled without any reason.

Once I said what I had to, my initial courage wore off. Aware of my lack of clothing and the way I clung to him like a Kola bear, I could not help but blush. I needed to control my impromptu confessions. The man holding me always caused me to lose control of myself.

"I need to use the washroom. I'll be back soon." I pulled myself away from his arms before I could embarrass myself anymore.

It was one thing to take initiative and talk things out. However, after saying things loudly, I could not help but feel shy. Being an introvert, it was not easy for me to be so open. Yet, for Eshan's sake, I was trying to change that trait of mine. If I did not talk, I knew Eshan would misunderstand, and our relationship would receive a burnt of it.

"Do you need to change?" Eshan's arms found their way around my waist as he caged me close to his chest. He seemed to be having a good time with all the push-pull game we were having.

I nodded little bashfully, avoiding his gaze.

Things changed within the snap of fingers between us. We had our moments of happiness, sadness, emotional heaviness, tension, awkwardness... everything. In the blink of an eye, the environment between us would change. Such as how this morning started.

I had still not asked him about what had happened when I was unconscious or why was I so drowsy. I didn't want to linger in the past right at the moment, so I just overlooked it. I had not forgotten how I'd reacted. It was still unclear why though.

Eshan kept his chin on my shoulder as he hugged me from behind.

"How about I help you in changing?" His lips rubbed against my earlobe as he whispered those words in my ear.

I was startled. "Uh... What?" Did he just say that? Was I hearing things?

"Didn't you just say that I could see you..." he paused as he left a lingering kiss on my cheek, "without clothes."

I was stumped for words. I did say that, but I did not mean it now. Why did he take my words so seriously?

"Umm... Did I? I don't... I don't remember," I stammered, fidgeting in my place. However, it was impossible given how closely Eshan held me.

"Is that so?" Eshan's lips trailed little lower across my jaw. My fingers curled in a fist. Nervously my eyes darted around. What was he doing?

He kissed the corner of my lips, his palm around my waist moved slowly in an up-down motion. Something weird was happening in the pit of the stomach with the way Eshan's closeness was affecting me. It took some time for my hazy mind to figure out what exactly the sensation was when a sudden sharp stomach cramp made an appearance.

Damn.

I threw the covers aside from my body.

"Slow down, Tesoro. You've not recovered yet."

I hurriedly removed Eshan's arm and got down from the bed.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Eshan's concerned voice called out from behind.

I rushed to the washroom, but in the midway, I turned around and moved to the wardrobe. I had forgotten about my lack of clothing. I needed to take my clothes with me.

Eshan also stood up from the bed. "Hey, I was kidding? I didn't mean to embarrass you," Eshan said as he approached me.

I had momentarily forgotten about him. "Nothing is wrong. Umm... it's my period," I answered him when I was at the door of the washroom. Without turning back, I opened the door and got in, bolting the door from inside.

"Call me if you need anything. And, don't rush to do things. Take it slow for a while, okay? You're still weak," Eshan spoke from outside of the door.

What the? Why would I call him? This was so embarrassing.

"Innaya? Are you alright in there?" Eshan asked, not receiving any reply from me.

"I'm fine. I can manage," I replied. He was treating me with so much care. I could not handle this side of his. It was as if I was made of porcelain in his eyes. Was I that fragile to him?

Leaving those thoughts aside, I focussed on cleaning myself. Taking a quick shower with my body not cooperating well, I managed to get changed in a clean set of clothes.

I mentally calculated the days between my last period and this one. It was two months ago when I last had my period. That time, I had barely handled myself with the amount of heavy bleeding I had with those painful cramps.

I sighed feeling tired already at the prospect of upcoming days. The next couple of days were going to be hard given I had just started my period after around two months. I dreaded the flow. I did not know how I was going to manage it. My body was already feeling fatigued.

I rubbed my wet hair with the towel as I stood before the mirror inside the washroom. My eyes narrowed when I saw the marks on my throat. I brought my hand and touched one below my chin.

"Aah." It stung. When did these marks appear? While bathing I had felt the burning sensation, but I had ignored it in the tension of my period.

"What these marks are doing on my neck?" I wondered aloud. There was not only a single mark but multiple ones. One of them was a little long and deep, it looked awful. If somewhere to see the mark, they would assume, Eshan and I had the wild night.

My mind projected image of Eshan and me, tangled in the bedsheets intimately. Eshan's lips pressed against mine as his hands roamed all over me. I reciprocated his passion as I held onto him.

Wait, what? I hit my head at that thought. From where the weird thoughts had come to my mind? I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts. Why was my mind kept thinking about those corrupted scenarios?

Ah... I seriously doubted.my sanity. Did marriage do this to you? I did not think so. I had been married for almost six months now, then why was I having such thoughts now? Did my period cause a sudden fluctuation in my hormones?

I patted my flaming cheek. ' Innaya, calm down. Stop thinking about those weird things.'

I held the basin in my hands, focus on my breathing. After calming down, I thought about the events from the morning. I did not know what time it was. It had not crossed my mind at that time. Even I did not ask Eshan how and why I had gotten an IV. There was a small bandage on inside of my left elbow. I had noticed it while bathing, and I had been careful to not make it wet.

I had so many things to ask. I also needed to hurry up for Eshan's voice kept calling now and then, checking on me.

"Sweetheart, don't stand for so long. Come out already."

There.

My husband could not stop worrying about me.
