Strings Of Love

Chapter 42

The morning was really really good for Sidharth, waking up next to his girlfriend. He woke up earlier than he usually would with his alarm, it was nature's call. Her bedroom was colder than the temperature he was used to, the windows weren't very properly sealed he guessed. The weather wasn't chilly but quite cold.

Slowly getting out of the bed was tough, Shehnaaz slept like a log, stiff and heavy to move. She looked funny though, with hair all over the pillow and face half pushed into it. She was still holding his arm she chose last night and had curled up in it. He tucked her hair to see the half of her face and nudged her a little.

"Morning Baby." He whispered and who was he kidding, she didn't move a muscle.

"Ahm! Shehnaaz." He cleared his throat and called her out a little louder, getting up with that.

"Mmm. So ja chup karke." She whispered, not completely out of her slumber and hugged him.

"Mai ja raha hu, call karna mujhe." He whispered back, tucking her under the sheets properly. The winter season usually didn't show up in cities like Mumbai a lot but the temperatures would drop down a little before the sunrise.

"Tu ja raha hai?" She woke up once she understood he was leaving.

"Ha." He nodded, leaving the bed to freshen up.

Woah, realization dawned. It was 6 in the morning and his time to leave after the lovely time they spent together. She got up to prepare something for the two of them, though she wasn't creative about what she should cook. She made tea.

"Oye, subha subha kya bana rahi hai?" He joined her in the kitchen, back in his office wear.

"Chai." She replied, yawning.

"Someone's so not a morning person." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm not and I'm wondering how am I going to bear with you like this. Itni subha uthne ki kya zarurat thi." She made a face, while serving him a cup of tea with biscuits.

"Sorry sweetheart, mujhe workout karna hota hai isliye jaldi utha." He replied, watching her yawn continuously and being amazed how she could still look cute with that frown on her face.

"Tu ache se soya na? I know my bed's not that fluffy as yours and small as well." She mentioned, sitting with him on the couch. She felt like asking if he was comfortable and liked his stay here with her because mostly it had been her staying at his place and he gave her no chance to complain about anything.

"Ha, mai ache se soya. Your bed's good, I wish I could have used it for more." He replied with a wink and earned a smack on his shoulder.

"Subha hi chalu ho gaya tera!" She shook her head, focussing on her tea to avoid looking at him.

"Shaam ko milte hai phir. I'll call you okay." He said, taking his leave.

"Aur chai achi bani hai." He kissed her cheek with that and walked towards the door.

She followed him out and waved at him through the roads, watching him drive away. She was quiet, wishing he wouldn't go and it would be even better if the two could stay the entire day together.

Such were her days, yesterday she didn't reveal but she was the happiest when he decided to stay over at her request and wore those pair of shorts and t-shirt. She knew he wouldn't have been very comfortable in those, in someone else's clothes to be precise, keeping in mind his specifications about his stuff, cleanliness and hygiene. It meant a lot to her. She hugged that T-shirt before putting it up for wash, oh how hopelessly she was falling for him that she was missing him since the moment he left. Convincing herself that she'd be seeing him again in the evening, she got ready for work.
