His Wife

17. Nightmares

Rudransh's pov

I brought anya home an hour back. Arjun and i are siting the study discussing about work. Ru is downstairs in the kitchen preparing lunch.

"Arjun have you told the investigator to began his job ?"

"Yeah , he told he will get the information in 2 months or something."

"Tell him to work on this case with more dedication. I don't want any mistakes in this."

"He is one of our best person rudra. He will not let any mistakes arise."

"I know , it's just related to anya and I don't want to hurt her."

"I know that , now let's go downstairs and see what my wifey is doing."

"Yeah , I need to check on anya too." We both left study and came downstairs.

Ru and anya both were in the living room talking about something. Why is anya downstairs and not resting in her room ?

"Anya , ru , why are you both here ?"

"What do you mean bhai ?"

"Anya should be in her room resting and here you both are talking."

"Ansh , it's okay. I was getting bored and we were just talking."

"I know."

"Let's eat. I prepared us food."

We all settled down for eating dinner. After dinner ru and Arjun left.

"Anya , go change and come to sleep." I said as I locked our bedroom door.

"Yeah , I will be back." And she went in the closet.

After a while she came back and layed down on the bed. I looked at her for a moment and went inside the closet to change.

"Anya , stop thinking about it. It was not your fault." I said as I lay down beside her on the bed pulling her above my body.

"But I forgot about my brother , my ruhaan Bhai."

"That was not in your hands darling , was it ?" I asked softly caressing her hair.

"But i should've stopped ruhan Bhai from jumping in the pool." She said nuzzling her face in my chest.

"You tried but he loved you so much that he couldn't see you sad. He wanted you to be happy that's the reason he jumped in the pool ,right ? But now that you are crying while remembering about him , will he be happy ?"

"I will try my best to try not to cry while remembering him."

"Good. We will always remember him in our happy moments and with a smile. Now stop thinking about everything and sleep. Don't overthink." She nodded her head in the crook of my neck.

I smiled and carresed her hairs till i felt her even breathing. I too closed my eyes welcoming my sleep.

Next time I woke up was due to loud breathings of someone. Oh no !! Anya. I quickly opened my eyes and turned on the side lamp.

Anya was in a sitting position grasping for breathe. I pulled her in my arms and whispered soothing words to calm her down.

Finally when she calmed down her body slumped down on mine. I pushed her hairs aside and held her face in my hands , looking into her eyes.

"Are you okay ?"

"Hmm." She hummed.

"Do you want to share ?"

"Not now."

"Okay , let's sleep." She nodded. We layed down with her body caged in my arms.

"Sleep. I am here." I looked around at the clock which read 1:45 am.
