Healing Souls

I LIKE YOU

Nikshitra's Pov:

I felt so much pain throughout my body because of the injuries last night. I cried so much because of the pain so he woke up from his sleep and said sweet words to me. I felt grateful for that. He was there with me when I needed him. He took care of me very well and I felt content. Thinking about yesterday night, I was happy that I fell from the stairs. He fed me with his hands. He cooked for me yesterday. I think I am in a dream because I can't imagine him doing anything for me.

I am grinning seeing his face who is in deep sleep. I woke up early in the morning so I am staring at my husband without any care in the world. He is looking so cute and handsome. His hair is touching his eyes which are disturbing him as he is frowning in his sleep. I slowly touched his hair with my fingers and moved them backwards, he smiled in his sleep. Slowly rubbing his scalp with my fingers, another hand touching his bearded cheek, I felt soft touching his hair. I smiled looking at his face. I want to kiss him now looking at his handsome features, sharp jaw, cute nose, pouty lips, mesmerizing eyes and thick eyebrows.

I slowly leaned forward taking care of my hand to kiss him on his cheek. I was afraid that he would get up, but looking at his deep sleep I made the bold step to move forward. My heart is racing fast when there is an inch gap between my lips and his cheek. I placed my lips on his left cheek moving closer to him, grabbing his shoulder for support. His skin felt so warm on my cold lips. I pecked once and was about to leave his cheek. He grabbed my hands and turned me back on the bed.

"Haaaa…. Leave me. What are you doing?" I was shocked. Shock would be an understatement as I never thought he would wake up from his sleep. My eyes and mouth opened wide looking at him. He was staring down at me with different kinds of emotions which I think is lust. He was sitting on top of me without putting weight on me in a kneeling position on my waist and holding my hands upwards at both sides of my head. I tried to get my hands out of his hold but he gripped it more tightly whenever I tried.

"What were you doing, Nikshu? I think I needed answers first. I thought you were shy at these things but no, you surprise me. And why did you kiss me? Are you taking advantage of me?" He smiled mischievously looking at me. I can't even speak a word as I dont what to answer him. He smirked looking at my face. He made a shocking face at the last sentence like if I am going to r**e him. It is my fault that I kissed him. What will I tell him? Ok I will say that something was there on his cheek. Will he believe me? No, I don't think so.

"Nothing, some...thing wa...s there on yo...ur cheek so I tried to remove it. That's it", I stammered and got scared looking at his face who was ready to devour me. I think he got my lie looking at his face. He was bending forward towards my face. We were face to face with an inch gap between our noses, I closed my eyes afraid of what he was gonna do?

"I like when you get shy and do these things and say I did not do anything. You get anxious and stammer telling lies but your eyes and face can explain your truth. Don't lie to me because I can read your face very clearly. Is that clear?" I nodded and opened my eyes slowly looking at his. Then he placed his soft and smooth lips on my right cheek pecking it twice. Gathering his weight on top of my body, intertwining our both hands he stared deeply into my eyes as if asking permission to kiss my lips or not.

"Shit.", When he was close to my lips his mobile rang disturbing our moment. He does not want to leave me as I can read his face.

"Pick up. It may be urgent." I pleaded to him and tried to wriggle my hands from his hold. He got irritated by seeing my face and left the bed picking his mobile from the bed stand to the balcony. I was shocked by his behaviour and touched my cheek where he kissed me. I was feeling shy and a smile appeared on my face thinking about our moment. I cannot move my leg, slowly with the help of both my hands I dragged my body to a sitting position and kept my left leg on the ground. When I was moving my right leg with my hand which has plaster, he came towards me angrily and kept his hand on my shoulder abruptly stopping my movements.

"What are you doing right now? How many times should I say not to move? If you want anything you can call me for help. I will help you and today I am not going to the office. I will do my work from home only. Today Sameer is coming to our house as he wants to meet you. Is it ok for you? I didn't even ask your permission, I am sorry for that. He only called me to inform me that he is coming in the afternoon as he knows about your accident." He helped me to stand up, keeping his one hand on my waist and another held my hand. I felt warm as he touched me.

"Please walk slowly." He was moving fast holding me so I requested him to go slow. We slowly walked to the bathroom and till then he waited outside the door. I brushed and did my business. Again he helped me to lay on the bed.

"I will prepare breakfast and I will call the maid if she is coming or not? If you need anything, call me. This is your mobile as it is broken. I bought it yesterday but I forgot about it. Here it is. If you do not like it I will bring another one." He answered and went to the closet to bring something. I know that it was mobile when he answered. I was very happy when he bought his very first gift. I was grinning and sat hurriedly and took the mobile from him hurriedly without waiting for him to give it to me. I opened it and it is an Iphone 11 new edition. I gasped looking at that. No, I can't accept this as it is very expensive.

"No, I can't accept this. It costs very much. You can give me a small mobile which costs less. I can accept that." I said to him as I was feeling low to not accept his gift. I gave the mobile to him in his hand. I was happy a moment ago so he came and sat beside me.

"Think of it as your first gift from your husband. You have every right to accept. You are my wife now. So please accept it." He requested me to take the mobile and kept it in my lap and held my hands with his both hands. I took it seeing his pleading eyes. He smiled when I accepted it.

"You can use it now and if you get bored you can use it anytime. I have fed my number in your mobile. Check it and install all the apps you want. All passwords have been set so you won't have any problem." He went out after saying everything that was needed to know about the mobile.

He brought breakfast after sometime and he looks freshen up. I think he freshened up in another room. The breakfast is simple that is toast and butter. We both ate in the bedroom only. After cleaning up he went out saying he had some work to do.

"If you want anything, call Meena aunty. She will help you. I will be studying until then. I will tell Meena aunty to clean you up. She will be here in 5 minutes." He said and within 5 minutes Meena aunty came, helped me to clean my body with a sponge and changed my clothes. Meena Aunty is an old aged woman about 55yrs. I was feeling shy while she was helping me with small tasks.

"Maam, If you need anything I am downstairs. Let me know ma'am. I will prepare lunch till then." She warmly smiled at me speaking politely. I can feel motherly feelings through her talk. She is a nice lady.

"Thank you Aunty and please don't call me ma'am. You can call me Nikki." I said to her smiling when she was leaving.

"Ok Nikki. Take care beta." She left from there and I laid on the bed thinking about Ayush. I don't know when I slept. I woke up from the sound of someone laughing. It is like music to my ears. I rubbed my eyes with my hand and saw where the sound was coming from. That time only Ayush opened the door laughing while coming with his friend Sameer. I saw him on our marriage day.

"Hello Nikshitra. How are you doing?" He looked very cheerful and came to my side and sat on the stool which is on bedside.

"I am good Sameer. How are you?" I asked him to slowly get up in a sitting position removing the blanket from my body.

"I am fine. Is he taking care of you or not? Tell me. I will beat him. If he neglects or avoids you I will be there with you Nikki. I will support you as he does not care about me. He behaves arrogant with everyone. I am his friend but he does not treat me like I am his friend. So now you will be friends and now I will ignore him. It's a deal. I don't know you from now on. Who are you mister?" I laughed very hard when he questioned Ayush like that. He was shocked when he suddenly said he was not his friend from now onwards. Ayush glared at his friend's suggestion. He is very jovial and speaks whatever comes to his mind. My dear husband is glaring at both of us. He speaks nonstop. I can see it.

"Thank you Sameer. I laughed this much after a very long time. Ok it's a deal. We are partners from now on to irritate Ayush." I whispered the last sentence slowly near Sameer's ear.

We talked about my college life and about my dad. We three ate lunch in the bedroom only. Ayush is glaring at me whenever I speak to Sameer jovially. He is mumbling something to himself which I cannot hear.

"What?" I asked Ayush but he said nothing and sat quietly without speaking to us. Me and Sameer talked for a long time about our favourite Korean dramas. I never thought boys would also watch kdramas. But he is the total opposite. He also liked bts music like me. We were laughing hard talking about the funny scenes in our shows. We have a lot in common so we easily clicked. I think I got a best friend because of my husband.

In the evening he left after drinking some tea. He said he will come to meet me every weekend. I was happy when he said that. Ayush was looking sad when I became sad while Sameer was leaving. He promised that Sameer will come every weekend.

I got excited and hugged him tightly when he cared about my happiness as he gave me a promise. I was on the bed and he sat beside me taking my hand giving a promise.

"Ilikeyouverymuchayush." I smiled hugging keeping my both hands on his shoulders behind his neck. I realized what I told him. I gasped surprised and was about to leave him but he hold me tight in his arms.

"What did you say?" He asked me but I kept mum. I know he heard it clearly so I hid my face in his shoulder smiling to myself.
