RaghVi OS: Panic Attack

Panic Attack

After a relaxing shower, Pallavi just stepped out of the washroom drying her hair.

She glanced around the bedroom only to notice him sprawled on the bed browsing his phone looking as grumpy as always. Maybe more today. Why not? After all, they just got married a few hours back.

Pallavi just sighed and moved towards him but he didn't even spare her a glance.

She cleared her throat to gain his attention.

Without lifting his gaze from his phone,

R: Saree ka Dukaan, what?

P: Raghav!!!

Raghav looked up at his newly wedded wife looking beautiful with sindoor and wet hair.

Breaking out of his trance, he dismissed her rudely.

R: I don't want to talk to you. I'm not in the mood.

P: Even I don't want to talk to you. But, why are you sleeping here?

R: What do you mean here? This is my bed.

P: This was your bed until today. But not anymore. Go and sleep on the couch.

R: What the hell? Why will I sleep on the couch?

P: Then where should I sleep, you duffer?

R(smirks): Beside me, lol.

P: Cheee, Ghamandi Rao! I will never ever sleep anywhere near you.

R(bored): Then don't lecture me, go sleep on the couch.

P: Are you sure Raghaaaaav?

R: Yes I'm sure, kumbakaran ki behan, he says with a sarcastic smile.

P(smirks): Thik hai, I'm gonna complain to your Amma that you are making me sleep on the couch. You know right, Amma is here in your house just because of me.

R(angry): Are you trying to blackmail me, saare ka dukaan?

P: nahi toh! I'm just telling you what I will do.

R(turns back to his phone): Jo karna hai karo!

P(trying to hide her smile): toh mein amma ke paas jao?

She acts as if she is about to leave the room.

R(glares at her): FINEEE!! Bed pe so jao, kumbakaran ki behen.

Pallavi settled on the bed and Raghav on that little couch for his frame, cursing his fate.

Both lay awake staring at the ceiling while the day's events flashed through their minds.

Amma made Raghav marry Pallavi on the condition that Kirti and she will come and stay with him and Pallavi. Aai and Baba were clearly not in favour of this wedding but agreed to stop the rumours spreading around. Bindi wala aunty and Amruta were fuming in anger that their plan backfired, instead of kicking Pallavi out of the house, she was married to Raghav.

Nikhil, Mansi and Kaka were genuinely happy that Pallavi might find her happiness.

Though Raghav and Pallavi, even in the wildest dreams never wanted to marry each other but had to due to the family.

For Pallavi, marriage is a sacred bond between two hearts. Even though this wedding happened out of the blue, she was ready to give Raghav a chance because she knows him better than her family and his own family now. She has seen his soft and caring side every time he helped her. She wants to reunite him with his mom and sister because she knows the pain of losing her loved ones.

Raghav was happy that his Amma and Kirti are finally staying with him.

But, he never wanted to get married and especially to Pallavi. His mind was running with various thoughts. He didn't want to lose his Amma when she had finally agreed to live with him. This was something he wanted for a long time, he was happy that he got a chance to make her forgive him.

Whenever Raghav thinks about his Amma, all the events on that fateful day haunt him.

There wasn't a day when he doesn't feel guilty thinking about his family and the day which ruined everything. Unknowingly, Raghav started squirming in his sleep and sweating.

A low groan escaped his mouth in pain, he clutched his chest as it started paining.

Pallavi who was awake, hearing this, switched on the lights.

She saw Raghav gasping for breath as she reached him.

P: Raghavvv!! What's wrong? Kya hua tumhe?

She tried rubbing his chest to make him feel better. She was so worried for him.

She has seen this happen to him once. She took him to the bed and made him sit.

P: Yeh lo paani pee lo! sitting beside him, she tried to make him drink water but he couldn't.

Half of the water fell on him, drenching his white t-shirt.

Raghav was finding it very difficult to breathe, the pain in his chest was getting intense.

P: Mein kya karu? Should I call Amma? Nahi nahi, she will get tense.

Pallavi was trying to rub his back, make him drink water but nothing worked.

Grabbing his t-shirt, she pulled him closer and hesitantly placed her lips on his lips.

Slowly, she started kissing him and her hands were in his hair calming him down.

Raghav's erratic heart calmed down only to skip his beat realising Pallavi was kissing him.

He smiled in between the kiss finding her inexperienced and innocent kiss amusing.

Taking charge, he grabbed her waist only to deepen the kiss.

Pallavi broke the kiss once she realised he was okay.

Her hands on his shoulders, their eyes closed and their foreheads joined, both of them were panting.

Raghav opened his eyes only to find her so close to him

R: What was that?

Pallavi opened her eyes and blushed red as she looked into his eyes.

R: What was that, saree ka dukan?

P: I uh, I read once that holding your breath could stop a panic attack, she said looking down unable to hold his gaze.

P: So, when I kissed you, you held your breath.

R( smiled): I did?

P: Yeah you did, she looked back into his eyes and smiled. And you can sleep on the bed. We can share the bed.

R(smirks): Somebody said they can never sleep with me. What happened? Can't resist me huh?

Pallavi slaps his chest playfully and blushed.

They slept on the same bed and woke up the next morning in each other's arms.
