Whispers of Romance

"Panic Attack"

A little girl was running, tears streaming down her face as she fled. She glanced back, and suddenly there was an explosion.
Vaidehi's eyes snapped open, her face glistening with sweat, as she jolted awake.

Vaidehi: "Again same nightmare."

Vaidehi glanced at the clock, its illuminated digits displaying the early hour of 5 a.m. She shifted her gaze to the other side of the bed, where Viyansh lay peacefully asleep, a serene expression adorning his features and a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Later, she recollected the events of the previous night.

Vaidehi thought: "The past shouldn't impact my present or future. I apologize, Ansh, for causing you concern last night. But don't fret; I'll make up for it."

With fondness in her heart, Vaidehi gently planted a kiss on Viyansh's cheek before rising from bed to begin her day. After a refreshing shower and getting dressed, she descended the stairs to the kitchen, where she busied herself preparing breakfast for the family. Alongside the savory dishes, she also whipped up a batch of delicious kheer for a sweet touch to the morning.

As the clock struck 7, signaling that everything was finally prepared, she returned to their room, her steps light with anticipation. Upon entering, she noticed Viyansh still soundly asleep, his peaceful expression masking the mischief brewing in her mind. With a sly smirk, she tip-toed over to the vanity, her eyes scanning for the necessary tools to execute her playful plan.

Grabbing a handful of rubber bands and a vibrant lipstick, she settled onto the edge of the bed beside Viyansh, her fingers itching with excitement. Carefully, she gathered his hair and secured it into a makeshift ponytail, suppressing a giggle at the sight of his transformed appearance. With the precision of an artist, she dabbed the lipstick onto his lips, cheeks, and even his closed eyelids, creating a whimsical masterpiece on his slumbering face.  Admiring her handiwork, she couldn't help but giggle at the sight, though she made sure not to wake him with her laughter.

After finishing her playful mischief, she leaned in closer, planting gentle kisses on his face in an attempt to rouse him from his slumber. Each kiss was accompanied by a soft whisper of his name, her lips brushing against his skin as she tried to coax him awake with her affectionate gestures.

Vaidehi: "Ansh get up."

Feeling him stir, Vaidehi's heart skipped a beat, but when he nestled his head onto her lap and wrapped his arms around her waist, she couldn't help but smile tenderly down at him. Gently running her fingers through his hair, she leaned down to press a loving kiss to his forehead.

Vaidehi: "aaj aapko gym nahi jaana?" (Aren't you going to the gym today?)

Viyansh: "Ek din nahi jaunga toh kum hot nahi ho jaunga aisa meri biwi kehti h." (If I don't go for a day, I won't become less hot, that's what my wife says.)

She giggled.

Vaidehi: "Par ab uth bhi jaiye." ( But you should get up now.)
Viyansh: "Hmm"

Vaidehi: "Ansh, get up."

He stirred awake, propping himself up against the headrest and glanced at the time.

Viyansh: "How did you wake up early? And got ready as well without any drama... How?? Jaan, are you alright?"

Vaidehi: "What do you mean? Do I cause drama every morning, huh?"
