”Am I making you uncomfortable?” Eshan whispered near my lips as his fingers traced meaningless patterns across my stomach. My eyes closed on their own accord, feeling his face being so close to me. Also, his butterfly-like touch, trailing across my skin as the dragonfly skims across the water, created ripples of exhilaration.

”Innaya?” Eshan skimmed his nose on the side of my face, rather enjoying my helpless condition of putting me a spot where I was losing my ability to think. I could think about nothing else but Eshan.

”H-huh?”

I lost all the rationality. His closeness did weird things to me. Locked in such confined space, unable to move much because of the swollen ankle, and rendered speechless because of his advances… I forgot to speak.

My voice, just like the coin thrown in the vast ocean, was lost. I did not even dare to find it, for I knew it was worthless.

Silent.

Too silent.

The air in the room had turned into some kind of impending pressure, which felt oppressing as well as relieving at the same time.

”Sweetheart. Why are you so silent?” Eshan said again, leaving yet another kiss on my cheek. He chuckled a bit, that low sound of his entered my ears earning a fluttering glance from me.

”Leave it. I'll speak to our child.” Eshan caressed my stomach.

Child?

That broke the spell Eshan was casting with his bewitching voice, and paralyzing actions.

”Child? What child?” From over the clothes I held his wandering hands, stopping them from raking havoc over my consciousness. He knew better than anyone else. I was not pregnant. Why had he brought that topic downstairs? Why was he bringing it again?

Eshan had mentioned that to his mother. And, at that point, she had said that I should abort-.”

No. No. I did not want to think about it. I shook my head, trying to throw that thought, her words out of my memory and mind.

Just thinking about murdering the child which was non-existent, I could not even breathe. The feeling of dread crawled across my body, making me feel the fright that I had felt early. My whole body stiffened.

”Hey, what's wrong?” Eshan withdrew his hands and walked to the front from behind me. Stopping by my side, he then cupped my face. ”Are you thinking about Mom's words?”
