Roop's Pov

"Oh god, the petals of that rose keep withering away."
I said, wiping off my unshed tears.

When I heard no response from him, I looked down. To find him fast asleep. I just chuckled, leaning in, to place a soft kiss on his forehead. His head rested on my chest, one hand engulfed my middle, another on one of my tits and one leg between my legs. He was practically sleeping on me. And I can't describe how much I loved this feeling.

His steady breath tickled my neck, making me hold onto him tightly. He looked so peaceful like this. Strands of his hair rested on his forehead. His thick eyelashes fanned his cheeks. His lips parted a little. He looked so cute.

But the underside of his eyes looked a little puffy with dark circles forming on them. He had worked so hard whole week. The only time he slept for more than 6 hours and peacefully was with me on the club night. Besides that, he didn't get much sleep, kept working, but never showed how tired he was to anyone.

The smile he put on was so real that no one could have believed that he was sleeping only 4 hours a day and working all the other time. Engagement and event being on the same day, only added to his stress.

So, guess my anger when I heard from Rahul that he went to the office at 6 in the morning to work today. The very next day of our engagement and the event. That too with only 3 hours of sleep. The event and party ended at approximately 1am. We cousins and young people stayed at the event spot even after everyone left, gossiped, joked, drank a little and had fun till 3am. And yet he was in the office by 6am the very next morning.

I was so infuriated with him that I wanted to scold him for being so careless about his health. But then a thought came in my mind and I dropped the idea of being angry at him. He slept peacefully without a care in the world when he was with me, so I decided to have a movie night with him. So we could cuddle and relax. And he'll sleep as he should.

Finding him sleeping this peacefully in my hold, made me so damn happy. Made me feel so many things that I couldn't describe in words. I wondered how I did not notice his hardwork and how exhausted before. Men are so good at hiding their tiredness, emotions and struggles behind that wide grin.

And, this man, who I call the love of my life did the same and I didn't notice. But today, I promise myself to keep an eye on his health and never let him overwork. And if he has to, I'll be there to take care of him afterwards. Always.

I clicked the remote, only a half hour movie was left, so I decided to finish it and then doze off. I hated to leave the movie unattended after spending such a long time watching it. I turned the volume down, so it wouldn't disturb Aary's sleep.
