The Boundless Bond

Part 59

After spending about a week for their honeymoon just around France, Ashwin and Ashima then returned to their humdrum of everyday life. Ashwin was attending interviews to get a job while Ashima got busy with her work. It's the weekend, where they both get to spend the day together. They were still one bed, Ashima saw Ashwin being awake and using his phone.

Ashima: abby, why are you awake? What time is it?

Ashwin: It's half past nine

Ashima: still so early abby

Ashima cuddled Ashwin to sleep and made him to put his phone aside.

Ashima: what's running on your mind?

Ashwin: nothing abby, thookam varala adhan I was on phone

Ashima: enga enna paathu sollu

Ashwin then turned around and faced Ashima.

Ashima: you will, I know, and I can understand what you're thinking of, how are you going to go on without work. Especially to someone like you who has worked for a long period of time doing what you love, it must be tough, but this phase is just temporary

Ashwin: thanks abby, it's been running on my head every day, thinking what am I doing, going to do and so on, disturbing my sleep as well these days. Adhunaladhan I woke up and was checking mails to see if there's any updates
