Jaan

Chapter- 22

Delhi
Rathore Mansion

Author (POV) :-

Radha is sitting quietly in the living room, getting herself ready for the day ahead. She tends to feel like a machine if she stays up late or wakes up early, or if she doesn't get enough sleep. In such cases, she takes time to recharge herself. Last night, Radha couldn't sleep properly because she was in an unfamiliar place and woke up early. She has difficulty sleeping properly in a new place until she gets used to it. Due to lack of proper sleep, she is sitting still and not responding even if someone talks to her, as she doesn't have the energy to do so. At this moment, she feels like sleeping, but she's afraid to do so because she worries about what others might think if she sleeps too much in this new place.

Elders entered the living room and saw Radha staring blankly ahead without blinking. They frowned, but didn't say anything and sat down.

Radha saw everyone sitting there. She became nervous upon seeing them and thought of leaving the living room to go to her new room, but ultimately decided against it due to feeling lazy.

"Beta, are you okay?" Parwati asked, unable to contain her concern upon seeing Radha so silent. Radha looked at her and nodded slowly. Parwati also nodded, saying okay.

Adhiraj arrived at the same time. The elders spotted him and signaled for him to come sit next to Dada. Adhiraj furrowed his brow at their behavior, but complied.

"What's going on? Why are you calling me like that?" Adhiraj demanded firmly..

"Why is Radha so quiet? Did we do something?" asked Dada, concerned.

Everyone again give him side eye hearing his concern tone for radha. Adhiraj look at radha then look at them.

" No one did something wrong " said Adhiraj

"Why is she so silent? He's been staring at that spot without blinking," Rana asked Radha.

Adhiraj didn't say anything but got up and sat beside Radha, who was lost in thought.

" "Jaan," said Adhiraj softly. Radha looked at him, blinking her eyes slowly. Adhiraj smiled at her, seeing her blink cutely.

"Couldn't you sleep properly last night?" Adhiraj asked, caressing her hair lovingly. She just looked at him as if she was speaking from her eyes. Adhiraj understood what she was trying to communicate through her eyes.

"Is it because of the new place that you couldn't sleep well? Did you freshen up?" asked Adhiraj. She looked at him, conveying through her eyes that she had freshened up.

"Okay, that's good. After having breakfast, you can sleep in my room," Adhiraj said softly, knowing that she could fall asleep if she slept in his room because of his scent..

Elders were shocked and amused to see Adhiraj, who could tell the answer just by looking into her eyes. The love between them was beautiful, and everyone felt happy to witness such a couple in so much love. Ladies were fangirling over the couple, and males were just shaking their heads, seeing their wives like that.

"Is breakfast ready, Maa?" Adhiraj asked, making the ladies come out of their fan girl mode.

" "I have it ready," Parwati said, and Adhiraj nodded.

"Where are the youngsters?" Adhiraj looked around.

"I don't know where they are," Dadi said, annoyed.

At some point, everyone saw the youngsters, Husky and Radha siblings coming from outside. The elders were surprised to see the youngsters up so early. Normally they wake up later, so seeing them up and about so early was shocking for everyone.
