Little Hearts

Chapter - 36

||Togetherness||

*-*-*-*-*

Shravas and Lasya seated adjacent to each other in the flight, and a sweet smile adorned their faces, beautifully.

Shravas was looking at her intently, with his gaze filled with so much love that Lasya couldn't bear so she just did what she had to; Yeah, she just turned to look away, as a crimson slowly started to cover her face, and as she couldn't take more, she thought of taking a small nap.

She could hear his chuckle. But then she ignored it, as her face burned with embarrassment but lucky enough he didn't dare to say anything.

*-*-*-*-*

After three hours, their flight landed back in Bangalore at 4 a.m.

All this while, Lasya had a good nap whereas Shravas was just admiring her.

'she looked so cute, while asleep', Shravas thought but now he had to wake her up as their flight was about to land and the flight attendants had already announced to tie up their seat belts...

But seeing her sleeping, he doesn't have the heart to wake her up, yet.

So he started to buckle her seat belt; and for that, he bent sideways onto her left side so he could get hold of the plug but then somehow Lasya stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw surprised her.

Shravas was so near to her face, almost their foreheads touching and she forgot to breathe.

The lungful of air stuck up at her throat as a lump, and she couldn't release it as his proximity was doing something to her heart, to her whole body and what is it, she didn't have any idea about it.

'damn he looks so ... So....', she thought to form a sentence while biting her lower lip but it was like her tongue had tied up and was not able to form words.

'oh no, did I wake her up? And why did she stop breathing?', Shravas thought but kept a neutral face as he didn't want to startle her.

He knew his closeness had affected her just like hers did with his heart. He was internally dancing as he understood, that his love wanted him to be close, to forget everything just to be with him. But then, all could wait until the time is right. He sighed mentally.

Shravas was the one to break the trance looking down, and again locking up on her face, "Oops sorry. Did I just wake you up?"

Lasya jerked back as if there was more space behind her. She licked her lips and tried to form any words, heck anything was even better than this silence.

"Hmm..no..nothing like that", Lasya said softly.

"Okay, since you were sleeping I thought to do your seat belt as we are nearing the runway and I didn't want to disturb your sleep somehow", Shravas said moving back from her.

"Ok, I understand, and thank you for feeling that way", Lasya appreciated.

"I will do that", saying this Lasya buckled herself up.

Lasya took a deep breath to control her emotions, and she turned to look at him who was already looking at her with so much love in his eyes.

'how did even get this much luck?', Lasya thought while looking at him.

"What are you thinking about, my little hearts?", Shravas came forward with a smile and pushed her hair strands that were falling on her face, behind her ear.

Lasya felt her heart exploding with happiness as he calls her by that special name. She found it so cute and moreover she felt being loved.

"Thank you", Lasya said softly, "nothing I am just wondering how did I get so lucky all of a sudden and I still can't believe you love me".
