Hug me

"What happened?" Soham held her arm to support her and asked worriedly.

"What happened Sister serene? Did we hurt you?" All the kids looked at her like she was going to rule out the judgement by her words the next second. 

She pursing her and taking Soham's hand support, stood up normally and smiled. "Of course not kids. It's not you, it's me. I hurt myself this morning you did nothing wrong. Don't worry I will come next week to play with you all but not today." Later she asked all of them to leave the ground for chocolates. When kids heard chocolates they automatically ran towards it's direction after knowing that everything is fine with her.

The moment the kids disappeared Soham held her arm tightly "What happened? Where It hurts?"

"Back pain hurt my spine I think." She replied meekly and tried to walk but couldn't take a single step. She again winced in pain.

"Were you that hurt since morning? Are you sick! How can you do that to yourself." Instead of going to the hospital she came here to play with kids!

"Hey initially it wasn't that bad. It was just... I couldn't bend but now because of the same incident twice a day, it is worse." She leaned her back to the wall.

Soham left her arm, seeing that she didn't need his support anymore. He is actually angered at her for being this casual about her wounds and pain. He can easily tell that she hurt herself pretty badly, but she still holds herself for this long, since morning. He felt hurt too.

He picked out his phone to call for an ambulance.

"You don't move by yourself from here. I am calling an ambulance, we need to visit it immediately." He went towards the window to get a better signal.

From behind Serene said "You don't have to come with me, i-" She stopped immediately when she saw his dark gaze warning her to say anything more. She pursed her lips and looked down.

After five minutes Soham almost breaks his phone in annoyance. "The no. is continuously busy." He said to Serene. 

"It's okay I can walk to the infirmary, they can give me emergency treatment at the least for now." She took the wall support and stood straight to walk but the first step made her pursed lips to stop herself from crying out of pain.

Soham stopped her immediately to see that she can't walk at all this way. "You can't walk. Let me carry you." He said and bent down to pick her but she immediately stopped him.

"No! My back will be bent in that position, it will be worse than painful."

He nodded and stood up. She is right but then in piggy back it will be the same plus the movement of his walking will hurt her too.

He thought for a sec and said "Then hug me by my neck, i'll carry you that way." 

She shook both her hand in disagreement "No! It's not a good idea for us." She said with a forceful smile.

He heard her uncomfortable voice for the idea of hugging him. A bitter feeling emerged in his heart immediately. Does she hate his touch that badly that she can suffer but not let him touch!

"Are you uncomfortable with that!" He asked softly, like he wanted an answer but didn't want to hear it either.

She noticed that he misunderstood her intention, so she immediately sorted her words "It's not me! It's you! Remember, you don't like any girl to touch you. It's okay I will call the infirmary, they will come."

When he heard her, he badly wanted to kick his own ass and curse himself for being a dick head in past. He really needs to sort this thing with her as soon as possible. 

"Hug me" He looked at her, trying his best to control his anger but the voice betrayed him. 

She tilted her head slightly in confusion "Huh!" She got little scared by his dark face and voice too but still she didn't approach him.

When he saw no movement from her side, he went close to her and slowly hugged her waist "Hug me" He said it again but this time more coldly, as like an order.
