Aishwarya POV

My heart beats raced up insanely seeing the blood flowing through his hand. My fingers started trembling against the hold of the sword. 

"Hukum,"

My lips quivered and tears collected in my eyes immediately. My fingers loosened up around the handle of the sword and I lifted my gaze to him with fright.

"It's alright, it's just a cut,"

He said with calmness and I could feel my heart spitting up in two.

"No, no, no, your hand is bleeding, Hukum,"

I tried to say with my trembling and shaky voice and he just smiled looking at me as if nothing had happened. I looked at his face and then at his bleeding hand tightening against the sword and taking it away from my hand.

"Leave it,"

He said and I looked at the dark red droplets of blood falling on the floor mixing in the dust. A lump formed in my throat and I felt his other hand holding my hand and making me turn from here.

"Come here,"

He said and my gaze was just looking at his bleeding hand silently.

It all happened because of me.

Why the hell do I have to be the reason for every misfortune happening around me?

If I had not asked to touch the sword, he would have not gotten the cut. 

It was all because of me.

He brought me back to the chamber and suddenly called.

"Can someone bring a bandage,"

I looked at an attendee immediately running inside the bedroom holding a bandage in his hand and I looked at him bending on his knee in front of him.

My heart flipped immediately.

I should do it. I had given him the cut then I should bandage his hand.

"Wait,"

I managed to say despite the lump I was feeling in my throat. 

The attendee lifted his gaze to look at me and I gulped nervously and flickered my gaze between him and Hukum before saying.

"I can do it,"

Hukum lowered his gaze to the attendee and took the bandage from him and said.

"Thank you, you can leave,"

I took a few steps forward when the attendee stood up to leave and I lowered myself to sit beside him. My fingers were trembling insanely and I could not help but forward my trembling fingers to take the bandage from his hand.

"I am so sorry, Hukum. I am really very very sorry,"

I tried to say and he lifted his gaze from his bleeding hand to me.

"Koi baat nahi, Aishwarya, talwar haath me lete hai to ek do kharoch to aa hi jaati hai,"

"It's alright, Aishwarya, a few scratches are normal to get when we hold the sword in our hands,"

He said and I inhaled a deep breath to move my fingers closer to his hand. His hand had turned red with the blood and I tried to collect myself before moving my hand forward to wrap his hand in a bandage.

For my convenience he shifted closer to me and I could feel his arm touching mine. I carefully applied the bandage on his hand and started wrapping it slowly, taking complete care not to hurt him anymore.

"Aaap itna darti kyu hai humse, Aishwarya,"

"Why are you so scared of me, Aishwarya,"

He asked and I could feel tightness growing up in my chest. I was not afraid of him. I was afraid of him getting Angry with me. He was the only person that had made me known what is to like feel better and I did not want to make him angry at any cost. But, my stupid demands and my brain always ends me up in that position only.

"I am afraid of hurting you, Hukum,"

I said and I could feel his eyes on me. 

I had almost wrapped up the cloth around his hand and my heart beats were racing to notice him looking intensely at me. I gulped and I could feel his eyes lowering to my neck and collar bones.

"If that so that it would be the most beautiful wound of my life, Aishwarya,"

He said and I could him feel gazing sharp at my neck. I was feeling nervous and I slowly pulled my hand back. I lifted my gaze up from his hand to his eyes. The sweat beads were falling off the strands of his hair on the side of his cheeks and forehead. His half naked body was glistening with the sweat.

I gulped and sucked on my lips to wet my drying out throat.

My eyes blinked as I saw him coming closer to me.

"Bai-sa,"

I immediately stood up hearing Moni's voice and before I could comprehend I was pulled back into his lap with a strong hold.

"Come later,"

I heard his voice and my eyes immediately widened with the shock.

I turned my head to look at Moni turning back to leave. The noise of her footsteps slowly fading away.

"Hukum,"

I breathed with the fear bubbling up in my nerves and he suddenly stood up carrying me up in my arms.

My heart beats raced up insanely and my hand immediately wrapped around his neck to stop myself falling from his arms. 

He smiled looking at me and the timidness started hitting me like a storm as our chest were touching each others.

"Now, you have cut my right hand so do not you think you should be my right hand until it gets recovered,"

He said and I felt a strong shiver running down my spine as he stepped inside the bathing room. I could feel my heart pounding wildly in my chest and the warmness getting up in my cheeks.

"But, what will I have to do?"

I tried to ask in a slow voice and he looked at me with a slight slight. My gaze lowered to his wounded hand that were close to my midriff and he said.

"For now, just help me take the bath,"

My eyes widened even more.

"Me?"

Slow voice escaped my lips and he smiled.

"Would you like around ten ladies touching me here and there?"

He asked and put me down on the floor. I immediately corrected my clothes and tucked the loose strand of hair behind my ear as the dupatta slipped down my head.

His words were ringing in my head but still somewhere in my heart the imagination of him being touched by other women was making me feel something which was not right.

Also, it was only because of me that his hand got a cut. Why would the attendees bear punishments of it?

"What are you thinking?"

He asked and I lifted my gaze up.

"Nothing,"

I tried to say in a slow voice and I blinked nervously seeing him walking towards the stairs of the pool. The bathing room was smelling like mild lavenders and sandalwood. And, it was making me feel really nervous.

"Come here, then,"

He exclaimed in a slow voice and I nodded.

"Ji,"

I could feel my heart beats getting audible as I was taking my steps closer to him. He stepped down in the pool and I looked at his body under the water till his chest. He spread his arms wide against the wall of the pool and I could feel the weird tension growing up in this bathing room. The noise of my anklet bells and wedding bangles were making it even weirder.

I reached closer to him and lowered myself to sat behind him. 

Suddenly, he angled his head backward to look at me and said.

"Are you feeling nervous? Aishwarya,"

I did not know but the question suddenly made me feel even more nervous. I could not help but nod.

"Ji,"

He chuckled a little and suddenly he moved his other hand in the water and I felt a few cold droplets of water falling against my skin. 

I closed my lashes for a moment and I could feel goosebumps coming over my skin.

What the hell was I feeling?

I placed my hand on my chest to calm down my racing heart beats.

And, suddenly he lifted himself up and sat in front of me on the edge of the pool's wall.

I looked at him looking intensely in my eyes and then his gaze lowering to the bowl of bathing paste placed near us. He forwarded his hand to take it into his palm and forwarded it to me. I nervously took it in my hand and then looked at him forwarding his arm to me.

His face was carrying a mischievous look and I could not help with my racing heart beats and lowered my gaze to the bowl. I dipped my fingers in the bowl and collected the paste in my hand. With my slightly shaky fingers I forwarded my hand and started applying it but suddenly he pulled his hand back.

He smiled looking at me and lowered his gaze for a moment and said.

"No need, Aishwarya,"

His words immediately made me thin my brows and I tried to reason.

"But, why?, Hukum,"

He smiled and I saw him shifting even closer to me. His legs were half into the water and I saw him taking the paste from the bowl with his left hand started applying it on his body.

"Because, I have two hands,"

He smiled and I just kept staring at him silently. His hand were moving all over his naked body applying the paste and I was foolishly looking at him.

He angled his hand backwards a little trying to apply it on his back. A slow groan escaped his lips as he was not able to reach because of his bulky biceps.

"Let me do it,"

I tried to say in a slow voice and he looked at me.

"Are you sure? Aishwarya,"

He asked and my heart skipped a few beats hearing my name again from his mouth. But, I managed to nod.

"Ji, It happened because of me. This is the least I can do to make it up for you,"

I said in my slow voice and he nodded.

"Okay,"

He muttered in a slow voice and I saw him turning his gaze away from me so that I would get better access to his back. 

I slowly forwarded my hand to apply the paste on his wet back. My fingers touched his skin and I could see the texture of his skin. It was tanned, hard and slightly rough. His shoulders were very wide in comparison to his waist. I took more paste in both of my hands. My slim fingers having red ink in the middle of it and on the top of my fingers got mushed in the paste. I gently stated moving my hand from the top of his back to the down.

It was making me feel the things that I was not able to comprehend in words.

I could feel wetness in my core and the moments of our kiss and the vision of my same red inked fingers moving in his hair was making me feel dizzy.

"I am so sorry for the pain, Hukum,"

I tried to say in my slow voice.

The silence followed for a few good moments until he slowly turned to look at me.

"Do not say sorry, I believe in paying back,"

He said in a slow, tired voice and I could not help but blink nervously.

"What do you mean?"

I tried to question and I could feel my voice getting affected with his gaze intensifying on my lips. He lifted his gaze up to my eyes and said in a slow and lazy voice.

"I will make the pain even very soon,"

My stomach twisted and my heart beats raced insanely. I lowered my gaze as the thought of him cutting my hand with the knife was making me feel terrible and scared.

But, he should do that.

"Will you let me?"

He asked further in the slow voice and I lifted my gaze up to him. I slowly nodded.

"Ji,"

I gulped nervously and suddenly a wide smile appeared on his face and he jumped into the pool making a splash of water hitting me and turning me wet from top to down.

"Aishwarya,"

He called and I turned my head a little to look at me.

His tilted his slightly to one side and rolled his eyes a little.

"Come inside,"

And, a timid smile appeared on my face out of nowhere.
