It was D-day. We were finally going on the trip we'd planned for so long, adding details over the years. And it's finally happening.
Our flight was at 5am, and we had to be there by 2am for check-in. By the time we were ready, it was already 10pm. Aarav had graciously offered to drop us at the airport.
We had to leave by 1:20am, so I had around 3 hours to hang out with Jai.
Until a few minutes ago, he was following me around while I packed last-minute stuff. Now he went to make dinner, and I was alone with my thoughts. Being alone made me think about him, as it always does.
I'm going to miss him so much. I've gone from being angry with him to being the happiest person.
I rant about my day, tell him all the gossip. And guess what? He does the same. He doesn't let me go to bed pissed or sad. He makes me smile with that goofy attitude. He's on my mind 24/7, even when I'm at my office.
All this stuff... I've never experienced anything like this before. The thought of losing him makes my heart pound, but most of the time, I look like a little girl giggling at his texts or him. He made me a light dinner because I don't like traveling with a full stomach.
"I'll have it in a while." I told him.
"Okay. What do you wanna do until then?" he asked, which is such a dangerous question to ask.I gave him a cheeky smile.
"I can make that happen!" he winked at me.
"Of course you can," I teased, throwing a pillow at him, laughing, which he caught effortlessly.
We settled on the sofa, cuddling, and stayed in each other's arms, me telling him how excited I was about the trip.
He says I yap too much, but I think he secretly enjoys it. I'm sure he does.
We were sitting there in silence, and Jai kissed my head gently. Sometimes I think this form of intimacy is something I crave. Not the sex or kisses, the way he understands me, tells me the right things when I'm anxious, sitting in silence where we understand each other without even needing a single word. Isn't that what love is?
"What are you staring at?" he questioned.
"The prettiest face ever, duh!" I declared, trying to hold his cheeks.
"Is that so?" he smirked.
"Of course, mister husband. You're too pretty, and not staring at you should be a crime." Did he just... blush? He's such a cutie.
Then we had dinner and got ready. We had to leave for the airport in 10 minutes, so I went to pray. I came back in a few minutes when I saw all of them in the living room of our apartment.
"Are you ready???" Diya exclaimed, excited.
"Absolutelyyyy," I replied, my smile super bright.
We left for the airport, me in Jai's car and the rest in Aarav's. I wanted to go with the girls, but I'm not going to see my husband for the next 10 days, so I'm getting my dose of him now.
