Atrocities //🌙

Anushree's viewpoint :

"Yeh kya hai Shub?" I asked him on seeing a cardboard packaging on the table.

"Prasad hai, mandir ka." He answered.

"Aap mandir gaye the?" I chirped.

"Haa, long story." He chuckled, but it seemed fake.

He's looking a bit tensed, should I ask him about it? I can feel that some or the other thing is disturbing him for sure. It might be anything regarding today's meeting.

Maybe I should try diverting his mind. He doesn't seem like he's in a mood to talk about stuff and I don't want to hinder his privacy. We can discuss it later.

"Yeh lijiye." I handed him a laddoo, which is his all time favourite.

"I'm not sure humein yeh khaana chahiye ya nahi." He hesitated.

"Kyu?" I questioned.

"Pata nahi safe hai ya nahi." He answered my query.

"Yeh prasad hai Shub, woh bhi mandir ka, ismein thodi na zeher mila hoga. Ise disrespect karna toh galat hoga na." I tried convincing him.

I feel like we shouldn't decline it, after all it's from God's place. They reside in temples and I can't say no to something that came from their home.

"Haa yeh bhi hai." He agreed and we both took a bite.

It tastes so good, I honestly wasn't expecting this. It's by far the tastiest sweet I've ever had, apart from the one mumma makes. These days it's rare to find such good stuff as sweets are only loaded with sugar. This one's a gem. I might finish it up, all my myself.

"Mhmm, it's tasty." Shubman appreciated.

"Yes, very." I added.

"I'd regret not having this, thank you." He giggled.

"Told you." I flipped my hair dramatically, making him let out a chuckle.

"Mujhe ek aur de dena." He requested and I handed him one.

Then I moved towards the washroom in order to wash my hands. I'm gonna stick to my diet now, otherwise my health will be tampered and I don't want Shubman to get troubled because of that. I really loved the sweet offering but I won't eat it further. We can have a low-key breakfast right now, maybe an avocado toast or something.

"Shub, breakfast order karein ya-" I mumbled while coming out of the washroom but suddenly stopped on seeing him laying unconscious on the bed.

He never sleeps unannounced. What's wrong?

Maybe he's too tired because of yesterday's flight, night out and today's workout session but this isn't giving me positive vibes. He would still let me know.

"Shubman? Shub...?" I went to him and shook his shoulder a bit but he showed no response.

"Shub??" I took his name again, but in vain.

Oh God, why is he still unconscious? He's not a person who sleeps in a very carefree manner. In fact, he always responds to my voice no matter what. What's happening right now?
