At first, Hania felt a twinge in her abdomen, but as she was nestled in David's arms and his warm hands were gently rubbing her tummy, it seemed that the pain had slowly dissipated.
More importantly, she felt that her heart was also filled with warmth. She felt like she was protected gently and carefully.
Moreover, her heart was beating faster.
Just then, David's gentle and caring voice drifted into her ears, "Are you still in pain?"
"No... It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm much better... You don't have to massage my abdomen anymore..." Hania answered honestly.
However, David's palms didn't stop massaging and he said softly, "Just go to sleep, baby. Your body will be much more comfortable once you've rested. Now, stop talking and go to sleep..."
After he said that, Hania slowly fell asleep.
Perhaps she still felt the pain in her dreams as she was sweating profusely.
