A pact

I let Ama rest on me while I was still comforting and finally, after some minutes, she looked up at me and slowly let go. I could see the embarrassment on her face and it made a lot of sense but it was the least of my worries right now. I just wanted to make sure Ama was okay right now. I tried hearing her heartbeat a bit more deliberately and I could hear that it was beating at a normal rate now which was a good news.

 

"Feeling better now?" I asked her while still rubbing her back. Ama just nodded and didn't look me in the eyes. I decided to not say anything more and just let Ama get comfortable on her own while I tried comforting her. Given the reaction, whatever she saw and felt was absolutely terrifying and mentally scarring.
