"Bella, it was not that kind of pain."
"..."
He shook his head at the naive girl who was completely unaware of emotions that a human has.
"Then what was it, Alex?" she asked as she frowned. She felt the pain. She used to feel pain in the past too but that was too mild. This time it was very strong and hurting though it passed speedily, it was still new for her.
"Bella, there are two types of pain, physical pain and mental pain that is due to emotions. What you felt may be mental pain. You became too sad to feel the hurt. Did some memory trigger? Why were you so sad?" he asked and the girl blinked. She stayed silent for a while as if pondering his words.
He sat there silently giving him the needed time to think well.
She settled her thoughts as she repeated the whole scenario in her mind.
