Together Forever!

Chapter Three

Aisha's POV:

At night while we sat for dinner, I told Rahul to go and call Dev but, he came back alone and sat in his place.

"Where's Dada?" Asked Riya curiously.

"He said he doesn't want to eat" Rahul said shrugging his shoulders casually.

"What? Why?" I asked puzzled.

"Aisha, I think he's not well, you should check on him once"
Said my Mom in a worried voice.

"Mumma go soon and see what's wrong with my dada?"
Said Riya in worry.

"But, he looked fine to me. Nevertheless you check for yourself"
Rahul said not so worried.

"Hmm...You all start eating. I'll check on him and come"
I said getting up to go.

I walked up to our room and as I stood near the door, I saw him sitting on the bed talking to someone on the phone.
He looked at me and cut the call in hurry.

Wired again! I thought.

"What happened? Why are you not wanting to have dinner? Are you feeling unwell?"
I asked walking inside and sat beside him on the bed.

I touched his forehead and hands to feel his temperature but, it's all normal. He didn't say anything keeping his phone on the night stand, he lay back down.

"Dev are you fine?"
I asked again with concern keeping my hand on his shoulder.

His silences is really annoying me now.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm Okay"
He says sarcastically and pushed my hand.

"Shall I bring your dinner up?"
I asked again trying to ignore his sarcasm.

"Can you please leave me alone?"
He raised his voice a bit.

I felt hurt so, I quietly got up and came out. I don't know what is wrong with him.

"Is he fine?" Riya asked in anticipation as I came and sat at the dining table.

"Yeah! he's Ok... just too tired"
I said in a normal tone.

I did not want anyone to know anything. Specially the kids.

"Tell him to take rest properly, he works too much"
Said mom in concern.

After dinner all went to their own rooms. I finished up all the cleaning work and I came into the room, I can see him sleeping but, not peacefully. There is something bothering him. His face lookes worried.

I went changed into my nighty and came layed beside him. I put my hands on his forehead and ceased his hair. I can see the rinkels slowly becoming straight. He felt relaxed.

He turned and pulled me close to him and rested his head on my chest. He's in deepsleep. I kissed his forehead and rested my head on his and drifted off to sleep.

God please slove my husband's problem. I can't see him so stressed. I prayed thinking.

...............................................

I woke up with the sound of my alarm, opening my eyes I turned to take my phone which is on the night stand. I took it and switched off the alarm.
I looked back at the other side and got no sign of my husband.

Where's he gone so early in the morning? It's 5am. He gets up at 6 to go for his jogging and then the gym. Where is he now? I thought to myself.

I looked around the room but, no use. I did all my morning chores and came down to the hall, to see mom watching some spiritual channel on the TV.
