I let my fingers continue running through Innaya's hair, on her face just to assure myself it was over, she was fine. One moment I was holding her on the road, preventing her from stepping on that dog's tail and in next moment, I had felt her going stiff in my arms as that dog stared at us in anger and bewilderment.
That dog did not attack as I thought he would. Instead he lapped at the fallen ice-cream on the ground.
I had brought her to the car that was just a step away and sat in the backseat holding her. I had felt her body turning cold as I watched her eyes glossing repeatedly and felt her heartbeat racing as I hugged her to myself, rubbing her back. The very same condition I witnessed on the second day of our marriage.
I knew I did not want her to fall unconscious and that was why, I whispered words of comfort, encouragement in her ear. I had felt her struggle to breath steadily against my neck so, I pulled back a little.
