"Okay, you continue your counting. I'm going to bed now," Priya said, getting up from the couch and heading towards the bed.
"Are you sleeping?" Ram asked.
"Hmm, yes, I am going to sleep," Priya replied.
"Without me?" Ram asked.
"Who stopped you? Come and sleep," Priya said.
"But I'm not feeling sleepy," Ram replied.
"And I'm very sleepy, so I'm going to sleep now," Priya said.
"And what about my pending work?" Ram asked.
"Which pending work?" Priya inquired.
"The same work we left unfinished at the beach house, I need to complete it. By the way, I don't like leaving any of my tasks incomplete; I always finish what I start," Ram said.
Priya knew what Ram wanted, so you go and do your work. I'm going to bed because I'm very sleepy. She said that and looked at him.
Ram looked at her and said, "What happened? "Go and sleep now."
"Come on, get up; let's go to sleep," Priya said.
"I told you, I'm not sleepy. And if I come, neither I nor you will sleep. It's better if you go and sleep," Ram replied.
"Aren't you tired?" Priya asked.
"Why should I get tired? Ram asked.
"Last night, we didn't get much sleep, and this morning, we had to leave the beach house early. Then you went to the office, and you were busy with meetings all day. And now you're not feeling sleepy?" Priya asked.
"No, I don't feel tired at all. I'm fine. You go and get some sleep." Ram said.
"Really? Okay, then I'm going to sleep. Good night," Priya said, a bit upset, and she went to bed in a huff.
Priya goes to bed and lies down, but finds it difficult to sleep. She keeps shifting and turning, realizing that she has developed a habit of sleeping in Ram's arms. However, her husband is not ready to sleep. Ram observes all this and smiles.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Ram asked. Priya looked at him angrily. "Hey, baby, why are you looking at me like that?" Ram asked.
"Are you enjoying watching me like this?" Priya said.
"Just say directly that you can't sleep without me. You want me beside you; you want to sleep in my arms," Ram said naughtily.
"Hello, it's not like that. I can sleep without you," Priya said.
"Oh, so why aren't you sleeping now?" Ram asked.
"Well, I slept in the afternoon and woke up late, so I'm not feeling sleepy yet," Priya explained.
"Okay, but you just said you were very sleepy a while ago," Ram pointed out.
She slowly raised her eyes and, in a barely audible voice, said, Yes
Ram smiled, knowing the answer. He takes a few steps, goes to the other side of the bed, creates some distance, and lies down.
Priya looks at him and says, "Are you sleeping?"
"Yes, and what else should I do? Now I have such an unromantic wife," Ram said.
"What did you say? Am I unromantic?" Priya asked.
