• Chapter 22 • My dear husband.

" Mish , what are you doing here , at this hour ? " He worriedly looked at her as it was around two AM that she was pacing in living room.

" What are you doing here ? Shouldn't you be asleep ? " She crossed her arms across her chest and waited for him to respond.

" I'm sorry. " He muttered slowly , rubbing his hand on the back of his neck.

" Now go and sleep. " She ordered , pointing towards their room.

" And what about you ? Why aren't you sleeping ? " He didn't move an inch instead crossed his arms across his chest. She stared him for few seconds.

" You weren't in room so I came looking after you. " She told him.

" Here ? " He spread his arms pointing to his surrounding.

" I thought you came here , to take a walk instead of working at this hour in study.... " She trailed off looking away.

" Stop lying. You know , that you can tell me anything , right ? Anything. " He emphasized on anything turning her face towards him holding her chin , softly.

" I forgot teddy at my house. " She said slowly looking at him. He threw 'are-you-for-real?' look on her.

" What's with teddy ? " He frowned.

" I knew it , I so knew it. You'll also get fed up of me one day but it's night now. " She wiped her tears which just kept increasing , while he stood looking at her changing behaviour.

A minute ago she was all ready to pounce on me like a lion and now she turned into a little cry baby.

Weird.

And how can she say that I got fed up of her.

Aa chokri eka divasa mane pagal kari dese.

[ Translation : " This girl will make me crazy one day. " Used google so not sure about the words though ! ]

" Mish , I might start behaving like normal people but I can never get fed up of you. " He cupped her face and looked straight into her eyes , down.

" Come on , now stop crying and tell me about that teddy thing. " He wiped off the tears with his both thumbs.

" I just want it , now. " She sniffed.

" You can bring it tomorrow. Now get some sleep. " He ran his right hand on her face pushing the free strands of hair behind each ear.

" I need it now , or else I won't be able to sleep. " She told him , making him frown.

" Exaggerate please. "

" I want it now , because --- " she looked down at her hands , fiddling with her fingers.

" Because ? " He emphasized.

" Because , I want to cuddle him and sleep. " She breathed out.

" But you can sleep cuddling it tomorrow and now , you can sleep the way you were sleeping yesterday. " He stated placing his hand on her cheek.

" But in yesterday and today , there is a big difference. " She sighed.

" The only difference is , date.... " He trailed off , thinking about the same.

" Iamonperiods " she said in one go and turned around closing her eyes. Though she said it too fast , he caught her words.

To reduce pain I used to cuddle that teddy , I would just pretend that my pain is lessened and sleep would instantly overtake me.
