Chapter 20

Shivali's POV

A thud resonates in my ear and I jerk a little in my sleep before going back to the deep slumber as my hand clutched something seeping warmth and I covered my face with it relaxing from the warmth. 

The thud came again and I shuffled under the blanket which covered even my face. I felt the bed shift from beside me and I shook a little nuzzling my nose and lips towards the warmth that I was clutching in between my fingers 

Some shuffling went around me and I felt the warmth slip a little from my hand and I made a disapproving noise before I held the warmth nd pulled it closer towards me cradling my cheek with it. I sigh resonated from beside and I moved my iris inside my lids

"We are awake. Will be downstairs in some time" a deep manly voice came from near me and I jerked awake pulling the warmth with me. I heard a gasp as I opened my eyes and my breath hitched in my throat

Devesh ji was hovering above me with his eyes opened wide showing the shock written clearly on his face. His one hand was clutched tightly in between my fingers while the other rested beside me keeping his body from falling on mine 

"You .. pulled... I um" he stuttered and I opened my mouth too at the same time

"I didn't ... I was" I stuttered too at the same time leaving his hand from my grip and he pushed his body away from mine and sat straight the next second. I fumbled with the blanket for a second before I sat on the bed

"Was I holding your hand for the whole night?" I asked moving my palm to cover my face in embarrassment shaking it slowly. The bed moved from beside me and I opened my eyes and saw him shifting towards the bedside table 

"Not most of it but, yeah" he said. I turned my eyes in his direction and saw him nodding his head looking like in some kind of stance. I licked my lips as I made an embarrassed sound from my throat and stared ahead 

"I didn't mind it" he said in a calming voice. I chanced a glance in his direction and saw him looking towards me with a soft expression 

"Why would you have mind it?" I said groaning, in a harsher voice which I definitely didn't intend to. I opened my eyes but saw him rummaging through the bedside table, looking like he was trying to find something 

"What time is it right now?"  I asked pulling my knees closer to my chest as I rested my head on my knees. I watched him as he grabbed a charger cord from the drawer he was busy rummaging in. He slowly hummed and tipped his head towards the wall behind the bed 

I turned my head and my eyes opened wide and I groaned loudly. Why is everyone walking me up at 5 in the morning? I hit my head back on my knees and pouted before I raised my head as I felt a pair of eyes on me

"Why did Maa wake us up at 5 in the morning? Don't tell me you all wake up so early in the morning on daily basis because if it is I am going to be grumpy for weeks before I get habitual" I said more like whine looking at him 

"We don't wake up at 5 usually. It's just because of the post marriage rituals today and the relatives also have to leave in the afternoon today" he said not looking at me as he walked towards the desk in the corner of the room

I kept banging my head against my knees for some minute before I sat straight and saw him opening his laptop. I scrunched my nose and shook my head before I blinked lightly

"Can I use the bathroom first?" I asked looking at him shifting slightly in my position. He turned to glance at me over his shoulder as his eyes swept over my figure once before he lightly hummed and nodded his head
