FALLING IN LOVE

part-27(ur husband is a dr too)

Soon, Teja started calming down.

Karan tried to move back, but Teja's grip on his shirt only tightened.

Seeing her condition, he didn't have the heart to pull away.

Finally, he picked her up and carried her back to the car.

This time, instead of making her sit separately, he settled her comfortably on his lap in the driver's seat.

Teja rested her head against his chest while Karan slowly started driving.

He kept the speed very low.

Trying to distract her, he started talking.

Karan: "Teja... what are you planning to study once we get home? Which subject?"

Teja didn't reply.

Karan continued asking random questions.

Karan: "Biology?"

No response.

Karan: "Chemistry?"

Still nothing.

Karan: "Or are you planning to torture Physics today?"

A tiny smile appeared on Teja's face.

Seeing that, Karan continued talking.

Slowly, she started responding with small answers.

By the time they reached home, she was much calmer.

---

It was around one o'clock when they arrived.

Karan parked the car and waited.

A few moments passed.

Teja made no effort to move.

Teja: "Karan... let's go."

Karan looked at her and then at their position.

Karan: "How exactly?"

Teja looked at him in confusion.

Karan: "I mean... first get down from my lap. Then I'll be able to get out too."

For a second, Teja froze.

Then she immediately realized what he meant.

Teja: "Oh! Sorry... sorry!"

She quickly got down and stood outside the car.

Karan couldn't help smiling.

---

After reaching home, they had lunch together.

Karan wanted Teja to rest.

Karan: "Now go and sleep for some time."

Teja: "No. I'll study."

Karan: "Teja—"

Teja: "No arguments."

Karan sighed in defeat.

Karan: "Fine."

---

The entire afternoon passed in studying.

Karan sat with her throughout.

Whenever she became too focused, he would make her drink water.

Sometimes juice.

Sometimes fruits.

Sometimes snacks.

He practically monitored her like a patient.

---

By eight o'clock in the evening, Teja finally closed her books.

Stretching her arms, she leaned back in her chair.

Teja: "Ahhh... finished!"

Karan smiled proudly.

Karan: "Good. You must be tired now. Go freshen up and rest."

Teja: "No, no. I'm perfectly fine."

Karan raised an eyebrow.

Karan: "Really?"

Teja: "Yes."

Karan: "That's interesting because your face is telling me a completely different story."

Teja looked away.

Karan: "And don't forget... your husband is a doctor."

Teja: "Ohh... is that so?"

Karan: "Very much so."

Teja laughed.

Karan: "Now go freshen up. I'll be back in ten minutes."

---

Karan went downstairs.

He brought a hot bag and some oil.

Before returning upstairs, he requested km to send dinner to their room.

Km and kd watched everything silently.

The way Karan was changing.

The way he was caring for Teja.

The way he was making her his priority.

Both felt proud of their son.

---

A little later, Karan returned to the room.

Teja was already lying on the bed.

Without saying anything, he placed the warm hot bag gently on her stomach.

Teja instantly felt relief.

Then Karan sat near her feet.

The moment his hand touched her leg, Teja immediately pulled it back.

Teja: "Karan! What are you doing?"

Karan: "Massaging."

Teja: "What?"

Karan: "Taking care of my wife."

He smiled.

Karan: "Now relax. Give me your legs."

Teja: "Karan..."

Karan: "I know you're having pain in your legs."

Teja wanted to argue.

But she also knew that once Karan decided something, convincing him otherwise was nearly impossible.

Finally, she gave up.

Teja: "Fine."

Karan gently started massaging her legs.

Within minutes, Teja could feel the tension and pain reducing.

A sense of comfort spread through her body.

---

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Karan got up and opened it.

The helpers had brought dinner.

He thanked them, took the tray, and placed it on the table.

Then he returned to Teja.

Karan: "Come on. Let's have dinner."

Teja: "Okay."

They had dinner together.

After that, both changed into comfortable clothes.

The day had been long.

Within no time, both drifted off to sleep.
