PERIOD CRAMP AND CARE ! - SOLD TO DARKNESS, FOUND IN YOU

Ahhh "Ishika ! BONE IN THE FLESH !!! I THOUGHT INSTINCTIVELY!

He cleared her throat and received the call-

-Yeah Ishi !??? Where are you ??

Yeah we are at my cafe ! Yeah come soon ! He replied to the Ishika ;

HE hung the call and looked back to me with soft gaze ;

I wanted to ask him but wouldn't it look too obvious !!??? So i sympathised my heart !

" Do you want more chocalates ??? He firmly asked !

"I nodded !"

He reached to the bag and pulled out so many chocolates for me !

"So many Kitkats" ! I took all from his hand

I started enjoying chocalates as if I was eating for the first time ! But this is my love for kitkat !

"I'm proudly KITKATPAGLU🎀

I looked at Kabir, and he was staring at me with so much affection, it made my heart skip

Then he chuckled softly and said, "You've smeared it all over your face like a kid."

I tried to wipe it off, fumbling awkwardly, but even after his hint, I couldn't figure out where exactly the chocolate was. Before I could say anything, he stepped closer.

A quiet laugh escaped him as he lifted his hand and gently brushed his thumb across my cheek, wiping the chocolate away.

I don't know what it was about his touch... but the moment his skin met mine, something unfamiliar yet overwhelming rushed through my entire body. My breath hitched, and before I realized it, I was lost in his eyes.

His smile slowly faded, replaced by something deeper... more intense.

And then, his gaze dropped to my lips.

My heartbeat grew louder with every passing second as he leaned in closer... his eyes still fixed on them. I noticed the subtle movement of his Adam's apple as he swallowed, as if holding back something he wasn't ready to say.

The distance between us kept shrinking...!

Is he... going to kiss me?

The question echoed loudly in my mind with every step he took closer.

Instead, there was this strange nervousness-my heartbeat racing, my breath uneven, and something unfamiliar blooming deep inside me.

And somewhere... hidden beneath all that chaos, was a quiet truth-

I wanted him to.

What is happening to you, Kaaira?

How can you feel so much... for someone you met just ten days ago?

It didn't make sense. None of it did.

But right now, standing this close to him, logic felt irrelevant.

All I could feel... was him.

His presence.

His warmth.

His eyes still fixed on my lips, as if he was fighting a battle within himself.

Before he could reach more closer to me ,his phone rang again !

"AHH ISHIKA I'M GONNA KILL YOU ???" i screamed in my thoughts coz i thought it was again Ishika calling !

I looked at him! His expression completed turned into cold,rude as if some unwanted person call him !!!

I looked down to his phone but before i could see his screen ,he abruptly off his screen as if he didn't want me to see !!!

He seemed quite a nervous and irritated!

"With some breaking voice"I'll be right back !!! He said !

For a moment, I was confused about whose call it was... but then I brushed it off.

He's such a big businessman, I thought. It must be something important.

But before I could think further, a sudden, sharp pain twisted in my stomach.

It was so intense that I couldn't even sit properly. I slowly lay down on the bed, hoping it would ease... but instead, the pain only kept getting worse.

I clenched the bedsheet, trying to bear it, but it was becoming unbearable.

My eyes fell on the hot water bag placed on the table beside me. I tried to reach for it... but my body refused to cooperate. The pain was too much.

And then... I broke.

Tears streamed down my face as I whispered helplessly,

"Mom... it hurts so much... I can't bear it..."

My voice trembled, barely audible.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Kabir.

Through my tears, in a weak, broken voice, I called out-

"Kabir

**(Kabir pov when he saw Aaira eating chocolate like a kid )**

Damn... she looks so cute.

I couldn't help but watch Aaira, the way she was eating like a child-completely lost, unaware of anything around her.

A soft smile formed on my lips.

After all that pain... this is the first real smile on her face.

And strangely... it made me happy.

I let out a small laugh.

"You've smeared it all over your face," I said, teasing her gently.

She tried to clean it, struggling adorably, but it only made it worse.

Shaking my head, I stepped closer.

As I reached out, still smiling, my thumb brushing against her skin to wipe off the chocolate...

My gaze shifted.

Her lips.

Soft... pink... with a faint smear of chocolate still left behind.

For a second, my mind went blank.

I want to know how that tastes...

The thought hit me before I could stop it.

My breath slowed. My heartbeat didn't.

Kabir, what are you doing?

Have you lost it?

She's vulnerable... she's in pain...

But in that moment, logic blurred.

Something about her... pulled me in. I really wanted to taste her lips, taste the smear of chocolate left on her lips ! It would definitely be sweeter than usual !

Ik it's immoral that I'm thinking this about a girl who's vulnerable and in pain !

Before I could fully process it, I found myself

leaning closer-drawn in, almost helplessly

And just then-

My phone rang.

Again.

The sharp sound shattered everything but I'm glad coz it was needed !

I glanced at the phone screen-and the color drained from my face.

Why is she calling ?

A sharp irritation hit me, but along with it came panic.

My eyes immediately shifted to Aaira.

She was right there beside me.

If she sees the screen...

Without thinking twice, I quickly turned the phone off, hiding any trace of the call.

I forced my expression back to normal, though my mind was already spiraling.

Looking at her, I said softly, trying to sound calm,

"I'll be right back."

Before she could say anything, I stepped out of the room and closed the door behind me.

I received the call and shouted - What the hell !! Why are you calling me hn???

"I have already told you not to call me twice if I didn't receive at once!

I'm not gonna receive any call onwards ! I'm in an urgent meeting!. Don't you dare to call me again,.you sick ! I hunged the call in irritation !

I went back to the room and I was shocked to see " Aaira !!

The moment I saw Aaira, my heart dropped.

She was calling my name through tears, her voice broken, shaking with pain.

Something's wrong.

I rushed toward her immediately. The sight of her like that... helpless and crying... it did something to me I couldn't explain.

"Aaira... what happened? Where does it hurt?" I asked quickly, trying to stay calm.

Her eyes were filled with tears, rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She was barely able to speak.

"I can't... please help me... it hurts so much..."

Her voice cracked completely.

"I'll get the hot bag," I said fast.

I ran and brought it back immediately, my hands slightly shaking now too.

She tried to take it, but her grip was weak. She couldn't even hold it properly.

"Where exactly is the pain?" I asked again, lowering my voice.

Through her tears and pain-filled breaths, she managed to whisper,

"Lower abdomen..."

I froze for a second.

I hesitated for a moment, completely unsure of what to do.

She was in too much pain... crying, barely able to speak properly.

But I couldn't just stand there.

Carefully, I adjusted the hot bag over the area through the fabric, trying to make it effective while still being respectful and gentle.

"It's not helping..." she cried weakly, her voice breaking. "It hurts so much..."

Panic flickered inside me, but I forced myself to stay calm.

"Okay... okay, I'll adjust it," I said softly.

I turned my gaze away from her ,but my handss were still there !

I pulled up her top and slightly pulled down her skirt ! I was very anxious still calm in a way she didn't feel uneasy!

I placed the hotbag beneath her bare skin ! My thumb brushed against her soft, delicate bare abdomen which lead a Shiver in my spine !

I asked "Is it ok ??? Still not looking at her !

Lower down the bag !" She whispered in pain !

Lower down more ??? My heart skipped a bit !

I gently lowered down a little bit ! "is it fine ??? Feeling better??? I asked

She winced slightly at first... then after a few seconds, her breathing started to slow.

"...Better," she whispered shakily

Relief hit me immediately.

"Just breathe, Aaira... it'll ease soon," I said, staying right there beside her looking away from her !

I kept the hot bag there for 15 minutes ! Yet not looking at her !

" Remove the hotbag ! She gasped

I removed it ! " Fix your dress Aaira !! Take your time ! I'm here ! still looking away from her !

No reply!

" Aaira??? Listening?? I questioned !

No reply

Are you ok??? I asked in worry

Still no reply!

I looked at Aaira with fear in my eyes... and then I realized she had fallen asleep.

Her face looked pale, exhausted from the pain she had been going through. It made something inside me tighten painfully.

"Even after all that... how did you endure it?" I whispered softly.

Carefully, I brushed her hair away from her face, trying not to disturb her sleep.

Then my gaze shifted from her face to her exposed lower abdomen!

Her soft delicate bare abdomen, heated up red due to hot bag, then her navel, freaking so attractive that it was driving me crazy !

Her panty was slightly visible beneath her skirt ! It fitted her well! I proudly thought

Beautiful !!! I gasped!

Before i could further explore,i dodged myself !

"Stupid ! I immediately fixed her dress... Draped her with blanket !

" Am I monster??? For having such creepy thought for a girl who's 10 year older than me !

A girl who's vulnerable and in pain, whom I met 10 days back !

I don't know what exactly I'm feeling! But I understood there's no going back !

"I like you AAIRA ! " I accepted firmly inside my head !

I was staring at her with care and affection! But then the door unlocked!

It was Ishika !

Ishika rushed into room and ask - "Is she okay ??

Ahmm better than before! I replied !

Ishikha then told me about her issue!

" Actually she's suffering from Dysmenorrhea !! That's why it happens to her every month!

" Fucckkkk ! It would be very painful! I gasped

Yeah and More of that in this condition she does household chores ! Her family is sin ! Ishika angrily said !

Then Ishika told me everything about Aaira ! How much she's suffering! And about her family member ! They don't deserve to be called as family! Bullshits

When I came to know about her family... something inside me sank.

Looking at Aaira, I felt a deep heaviness in my chest.

She had gone through so much at such a young age... things no one should ever have to face.

I didn't know everything yet... but what I knew was !

"I don't know what all you've been through..." I whispered under my breath. "But now I'm here."

I gently adjusted the blanket over her, making sure she was comfortable.

From now I'm here... I won't let anything hurt you."until I'm alive!

And for the first time that night, my resolve felt stronger than my confusion.
