Sairat - Ye dooriyan

Chapter 11 - Kisses and near misses

They both had dinner and Sai gave Virat his medicines. They then went to the bedroom as she had to change the dressing on his wound...but to do that she had to take off his shirt. She started unbuttoning the buttons and felt really nervous. So she refused to look up at him and just focused on the buttons. Virat noticed but he just kept looking at her intently. She could feel his gaze on her and her heart raced, while her body pooled with heat. Virat's heart also raced at their closeness and he wanted nothing more than to hold her against him. But he stopped himself...he didn't know for sure what Sai wanted or felt comfortable with and he didn't want to push her. She fiddled with the buttons but quickly managed to open them all. She took off his shirt (Still avoiding looking at his face) and dressed the wound.

She stepped back once she was done trying to control her racing heart. When she looked at him he was still staring at her. He smiled knowingly. The both looked away nervously and got ready to sleep.

Sai (in her mind): Itni mahine baad hum ek hi bed share kar rahe hai...

(After so many months we are sharing the same bed...)

Virat (in his mind): Agar Sai bed share nahi karna chahti to? Puchna chahiye kya? Ya phir main sofa par so jaun?

(What if Sai doesn't want to share the bed? Should I ask? Or should I sleep on the couch?)

Sai looked at Virat and understood what he was thinking.

Sai: It's ok Virat sir, hum ek hi bed share kar sakte hai. Ek saal se to kar rahe hai (She shrugged)

(It's ok Virat sir, we can share the same bed. We've been doing it for a year)

She pretended like it was the most normal thing ever but her heart was racing. Virat felt happy. They got into bed.

Virat: Lekin yaha tumhare "great wall of china" banane ke liye itni takiya nahi hai

(But there's not enough pillows here to build your "Great Wall of China")

Sai: Iski zaroorat nahi hai ab (She said glancing at him)

(It's not needed now)

Virat: Accha (He said teasingly raising his eyebrow)

(Really)

Sai looked away blushing a little and rolling her eyes.

Sai: A-aapko sona hai na, so jaaye (She said dismissing him and trying not to smile)

(You have to sleep, go to sleep)

He smiled at her reactions and soon they both went to sleep.

When they were both asleep Sai had a bad dream. She dreamt Virat getting shot and seeing him in the hospital. She woke up frantic.

Sai: Virat sir! (She exclaimed)

She realized she was dreaming and looked to see him sleeping peacefully next to her. She breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes watered as she remembered the dream. She looked at the wound on his hand and silently cried a little at the thought of it being worse.

She wiped the tears and moved closer to him. She caressed his hair softly.

Sai: Agar aapko kuch ho jaata to mujhse bardaasht nahi ho paayega Virat sir. Main aapko nahi kho sakti. (She whispered softly and tried to keep the tears from falling)

(If something happens to you, I will not be able to tolerate it, Virat sir. I can't lose you)

She slowly placed a soft kiss on his forehead and looked at him lovingly as he slept. Once she calmed her mind, she went back to sleep.
