Novel & Cerita Why Does My Eye Feel Bruised When I Blink

Elora’s POV I woke up to the pungent smell of what seemed to be a herbal medicine invading my nostrils. The room was silent apart from my heavy breathing. I slowly got up and lifted my eyelids. I squinted in an attempt to sharpen the blurry image surrounding me. However, a sharp pain stung my eyeballs as soon as the light hit them. It felt as if my whole eyeballs were dried up. It gave me some discomfort making me blink a couple of times in an attempt to wet it with my tears. Unfortunately, it didn’t help so I ended up rubbing them. That was when I noticed that no matter what I do, my vision didn’t seem to enhance at all.

Why does it feel real and familiar? I blinked my eyes many times, but what surprised me the most was that my eyes started to get blurry. That’s when I realized that I was crying.

I grab my purse and put my sunglasses on, although I was wearing the headscarf I still need to wipe out every possibility of being seen in his place right after today's stunt. I walked inside the building and made my way to his elevator. I removed my scarf the moment I enter the door and brushed my hair. I looked at the mirror and my eyes were looking much worse than before. The patch surrounding my eyes looked reddish but not so much, the eyes were swollen and I was having trouble blinking. God what did I do to myself, is this how people are supposed to look when they cry. Yikes, crying makes you ugly. I close my eyes and massage them in light circular motions then anticlockwise, reliving t

Something looked wrong. My face was there — same tired eyes, same chapped lips — but for a second, my pupils seemed too wide. The color around them looked darker, almost black. It lasted only a blink, but it made my chest tighten. I blinked again. The image was normal now. I told myself I was imagining things. I was exhausted, that was all. Then I noticed the faint bruises on my left arm. Three small marks, shaped almost like fingers pressing into my skin. I frowned and touched them lightly. The area was tender.

But what's different, he's smiling more often now, I think. More than three hours and a half struggling with computers and important documents. My head almost felt like it was brusting. I blinked my eyes over and over, trying to make my sight clearer, because it have been feeling a bit unclear. Maybe next time I should wear anti radiation glasses to reduce the radiation that gets into my eyes. My net is hot, I lifted my head. My hands fan the eye area. For a moment it seemed like a clear grain fell past my cheek.Stinging and hot. I hope they don't see that I'm crying.

A sharp twinge troubled her mind as if a bolt of lightning had shone across the sky. Her eyelids felt heavy and her eyes burned behind the warm lids. Her eyeballs moved against the dark veil and she found difficulty in opening her eyes. However, she could feel the calmness of the atmosphere. She groaned, trying to move and touch her face. Her arm glided under the soft cover, reaching her face as she gently touched her eyelids. She caressed her forehead and slowly tried to blink open her eyes.

Sure. But somewhere around the tenth fall, I noticed something. His eyes. He’d been rubbing at them earlier, blinking more than usual. At first, I’d thought it was just the glare of the lights, but now… now I wasn’t so sure. When I tugged the blindfold off between drills, I caught it. The faint redness at the corners. The way his gaze darted, sharp for a second, then slipping, unfocused, like the world wasn’t holding still for him.

I told this to Yuichi, and he ordered me to get warm water and a towel. “Did you feel okay, wife?” “Yeah.” Somehow I can feel my eyes getting quieter, but my dizziness is not. I think I drank too much last night. “Yuichi, why are my eyes swollen?” I don’t remember why my eyes were like this. I still can’t imagine what happened after we moved inside the cruise. My head hurts so much it feels like it’s splitting into two. I can only think of two things why my eyes are puffy, it’s either some kind of insect bit my eyes or I cried—if I did cry I can’t remember the reason.

I feel blood moving down my eyes and I open them up only to find that I'm in a different environment, a room. She's not here anymore, I'm not there anymore. I blink multiple times and feel no pain in my eyes, I'm able to move my body although with severe pains in my legs, shoulders and entire body. I open my eyes again slowly to adjust to the light. Thankfully, it's dim.

I asked while he completely ignored, sitting beside me and removed my mask. “Well, go on and you need to check it properly.” He just continued with what he wants to say and closed his eyes. Is he serious right now? I thought, smiling at the way he is behaving right now. It’s not like I am not going to lose anything by not doing this. I started checking his skin like before and there seems to be no problem at all. I brushed my fingers over his closed eye which was swollen, but now it feels normal, but there is still bruised around it.
