Chapter 138 - Looking After Innaya (1/2)

|Eshan|

Innaya was shivering badly. It was my fault. I was careless enough to not check the temperature. Instead of warm water because of my carelessness, we stood under the cold one.

All I could think at that moment was to make Innaya respond. In that haste, I had not bothered about anything else. And, that was where I messed up.

Innaya's complexion turned worse. Her wet clothes clung to her body, her teeth were chattering. Her whole frame shook. She couldn't keep her eyes open, and it looked as if she would collapse at any moment.

Feeling relieved that she took my name, I had failed to notice her condition. I needed to work on paying more attention because lately, all I had been doing was to screw up things due to my negligence.

She needed a change of clothes, urgently. Moreover, she needed a doctor. However, I didn't think she could change in her current condition. She required help. And, apart from me, there was no one else to do the needful.

I had to do it for her. Because staying in those wet clothes, or asking her to do it was out of the option.

'You are her husband. What are you thinking so hard? Just get her out of those wet clothes, you stupid.' My mind taunted.

I couldn't refute it. Of course! I had to help her. But, then again, would I be making things awkward between us?

'You can worry about it later. What if she fell sick because of your dillydallying?'

This time I made my decision. I could not afford to watch her fall sick because of my incompetence. I brought her out of the shower area towards the dry area near the washbasin, which soon turned wet because of the water dripping from our clothes and bodies.

I pulled the towel from the shelf. Supporting Innaya on my left side,

I held the towel in my right hand. I wrapped it around her head. Water dripped from her long dark traces. Handling those long hair with one hand seemed particularly difficult.

I liked her long hair, but in the present situation, I thought it would have been great if they were short. I somehow managed to wrap them with the towel. After changing her into dry clothes I would need to dry them with the help of dryer. I could not let her stay with the wet hair.

Innaya tiredly leaned against me. I took the second towel from the rack because I could not locate the bathrobe. I needed to change her clothes.

Firming my resolve, I closed my eyes. I had to do it. I pulled Innaya in my arms with her back facing away from me. Fumbling with my hands as I put them under her wet pajama top, I somehow managed to wrap a towel around her upper back.

I had to mindful of the places to avoid. She was not in her senses completely. So, it made things more problematic. Even though she was my legally wedded wife, I did not want to take advantage of her.
