When he opened his eyes again , to seek her approval , he was shocked by what he saw . She was trembling. Her lips were quivering. Her eyes were unfocused. There was fear and rage in her eyes . She. seemed to be living some past memory.
He thought he did something wrong, so he started apologizing profusely ,"I'm sorry . I'm sorry. O thought it was good atmosphere. I'm sorry if I did something wrong and overstepped my boundary. I should have asked you first."
She started hyperventilating. He was scared , he had seen girls undergoing panic attack .He has rescued considerable victims of kidnapping and abuse , he witnessed them having such symptoms . So, he followed his instincts .
He held her hand in his tightly and told her ,"Look at me D . Follow my movements. Breathe . D , breathe. Solwly yes slowly take a deep breath ." He repeated them again and again .
Finally, her rationality was coming back after much efforts . Slowly , she was coming back .
She looked at him , her face stained with her tears , red nose and glossy eyes . Her lips were still quivering and her teeth chattering .Her eyes still with traces of fear and anxiety but mostly they were clear .
She looked at him with those teary eyes . She blinked to make her vision clear. She stared at him, not knowing what to say . She just kept looking at him as if searching for something on his face .
He stared back at her not avoiding her gaze, "Its ok now . Everything is alright. I'm here , okay ."
"How are you feeling now?"
She snapped out of her reverie upon hearing his voice ," I'm good ." This time she avoided looking at his eyes , afraid he would ask about what happened just now .
He knew better it was not his place to ask her about her episode, after all everyone has something they want to keep from others .
