Two months had passed since that dreadful incident. Reena was much better, but she still had nightmares about it. Rocky made sure the perpetrator suffered for it. He was getting more and more protective as the days went by, which sometimes annoyed Reena. She would try to hit him in frustration, but he didn't mind.

It was evening, and Reena was in the garden reading a book. Suddenly, someone snatched her book. Reena turned around to see Rocky. "What's so interesting in these books that you're reading them all day long? Let me see," Rocky mumbled. Reena was reading Percy Jackson. After some time of explaining to him, he asked with a frown, "So, mean Greek gods had children with humans, and this kid Percy is half-god, half-human?" Reena nodded. "And it took you half an hour to understand just this?" she said dramatically. He rolled his eyes. "Come on, time for your medicine," he said, taking her inside. He got her some water and pills.

Reena made a disgusted face. "Eww," she said. "No 'eww,' you just have to swallow them," he replied, making her take them. He then picked her up and took her to their room. As he laid her down, he laid next to her and looked at her. "Can I kiss you?" he asked suddenly. Reena looked at him with a faint blush and slowly nodded. Rocky smiled.

Lost in the moment, Rocky leaned in closer to Reena, their breaths mingling as their lips met in a passionate kiss. Time stood still as they melted into each other, their souls entwined in a dance as old as time itself. The kiss was slow but filled with passion and love. Rocky kissed her until she was breathless. As he pulled away, he looked at her flushed face and smiled.

Rocky looked at Reena, her flushed face glowing in the dim light. He brushed a strand of hair away from her eyes and smiled softly. "You know, you're amazing," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Reena felt a warmth spread through her at his words. "You're not so bad yourself," she replied with a playful smirk.

Rocky chuckled and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. They lay there in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying each other's presence.

"Do you think the nightmares will ever stop?" Reena asked quietly, her voice tinged with vulnerability.

Rocky tightened his hold on her. "They will. It just takes time. But I'm here, and I always will be. You're not alone in this."

Reena looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with gratitude. "Thank you, Rocky. For everything."

Rocky kissed her forehead. "I'd do anything for you, Reena."

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted their moment. It was their housekeeper, Fathima ma. "Dinner's ready," she announced, peeking into the room. She noticed the closeness between them and raised an eyebrow. "Am I interrupting something?"

Rocky looks at reena annoyed "No, Fathima ma, we were just about to come down." He stood up and helped Reena to her feet.

As they made their way downstairs, Reena felt a sense of contentment she hadn't felt in a long time. Despite the nightmares and the lingering fears, she knew she had Rocky by her side. And with him, she could face anything.

They joined Fathima ma at the dinner table, where the aroma of delicious food filled the air . Fathima ma had been more than just a housekeeper; she had become like a second mother to Reena, providing a semblance of family and home.

After dinner, they all gathered in the living room to watch a movie. Reena nestled into Rocky's side, feeling safe and loved. The nightmares might still come, but for now, she was surrounded by the people who cared for her the most.

 Fathima ma quietly came to turn off the TV. She gave Rocky a kind smile. "It's good to see her so relaxed," she whispered.  

Rocky nodded. "Yes, it is. Thank you, amma, for everything you do for her."

Fathima ma patted his shoulder. "It's my pleasure, Rocky. She deserves all the happiness in the world."

Rocky carefully picked Reena up, trying not to wake her. He carried her upstairs to her room and gently laid her down on the bed. He pulled the blanket over her and sat by her side for a moment, watching her sleep.

Just as he was about to leave, Reena stirred. She opened her eyes slightly and reached for his hand. "Stay with me," she mumbled sleepily.

Rocky smiled and squeezed her hand. "Of course." He climbed into the bed next to her, holding her close as she drifted back to sleep.

The night was quiet, and for the first time in a long time, Reena's sleep was undisturbed by nightmares. With Rocky by her side, she felt safe, loved, and ready to face whatever the future held.

Morning came with the soft glow of sunrise filtering through the curtains. Reena woke up to find Rocky still asleep next to her, his arm protectively draped over her. She felt a surge of gratitude and love for him. She knew the journey ahead wouldn't be easy, but with Rocky's unwavering support, she felt stronger and more hopeful.

She gently shook his shoulder. "Rocky, wake up."

Rocky groaned and opened his eyes, blinking against the morning light. "Morning already?" he mumbled.

Reena smiled. "Yes, and I feel like having breakfast in the garden. What do you say?"

Rocky stretched and smiled back at her. "Sounds perfect. Let's go."

They got up, and as they made their way downstairs, Reena felt a renewed sense of purpose. She wasn't just surviving anymore; she was beginning to live again, and she knew Rocky would be right there with her every step of the way.
