"Now let's talk about your stomach, why does it hurt?"

"I don't know, I think it's because I was really overwhelmed, I was scared because mukti said she is not going to be home and I don't like being alone. It's very scary"

"You aren't alone little one, I am right here"

"but I didn't know if we'd talk"

"Nandini we would always talk, it was a set back but it will not happen again"

"What if mukti says no to hanging out with you?" She asks so curiously

"Then we will have to convince her to say yes, won't we little doll?" i tease

She hums leaning on my face, her forehead rests against my chin, her hands gripping my t shirt on my back

"We will have to because you are nice and warm"

"Right, so now I am being used just to keep you warm?" I tease her

"Yes" she giggles making me chuckle

"We are going to be fine Nandini, you and I are going to be okay"

"We are?"

"We are baby girl, we are"

She nods pushing me a little and since I didn't have my balance I fell back on her bed, with her on me.

"oh no, sorry" she apologizes right away

"It's okay, let's go grab some ice cream and take out"

"Can we get some fettecini Alfredo?" She asks grinning ear to ear

'Sure we can, do you want to eat at home?"

"can we?"

"Yeah"

I grab my phone laying comfortably with her on my chest, she starts to play with my t shirt while I quickly ordered takeout for delivery

"This, this is weird" she said poking my eyebrow or right above it

"What is?"

"there is a scar"

"There sure is"

"From who?"

"I fell in the playground and by the time I got to the doctors I had lost a lot of blood so they had to put the stitches in right away. I also was a stubborn ass and didn't go to get the sticker removed"

"They were dissolvable?" She asks caressing the scar

"No, I took them out myself"

"you did what?" She yells a little

"I took them out, super easy, you pull one end and cut with the other" I say like no big deal

"Manik please tell me you are joking" she mumbles being concerned as she sits up

"Not joking" I say

"Didn't your mom say anything?" She asks

"No, she can barely keep her eyes open" I mumble

"Mukti said it was bad sometimes"

"All the time baby"

she leans forward and kisses my scar, my heart just clenches in the best way possible

"Nandini"

"My Mumma would always kiss my scars better so I hope this helps" she says kissing my scar again

i kiss her cheek caging her in my arms.

"Hehe I am stuck" she giggles

"Break free little kitten"
