A LITTLE CLOSER...

"I want to go home" I sulked looking at Maa.

She chuckled while feeding me another piece of apple.

"Only a few hours beta, then we'll be able to leave" She said.

It's 1 am, midnight. I am hungry and I still have 4 hours left until I get to go home. And even after that they won't allow me to leave because they can only let a patient discharge after 8 in the morning.

Why are these hospitals so strict?

Suddenly a nurse walked in and gave me a look.

"You are not allowed to eat at this time" She said.

Maine maar dena hai kisiko.

"But I am hungry" I replied.

She walked closer and snatched the plate away.

That was my last straw, I didn't fight back like I usually do but I started sobbing.

"Calm down bacche" Maa tried to console which only made me cry more.

"DIVYAM!" I called loudly.

He entered in just 5 seconds, my precious man.

"What happened?" He asked wiping away my tears.

"The nurse didn't let her eat" Maa informed.

He walked out and in a few minutes I was holding a plate full of different fruits that were chopped by my husband himself.

Papa and Maa had to leave for home as only one person is allowed to stay with me and ofcourse it's going to be Divyam.

"You should sleep" He said pecking my forehead.

"I want cuddles" I said.

He locked the door and I shifted a little to make some space for him to settle on the bed, why are hospital beds so small? His legs are literally hanging out of the bed.

"You could've stayed at home, Reet is here already" I said running my fingers through his hair.

"And let my wife stay alone? Never" He leaned in to give me a kiss and I gladly reciprocated.

How much I love his lips, I can melt in his arms...

As we broke the kiss, I felt a sudden urge to tell him about my feelings.

"Divyam...I love you"

His expressions changed from being happy to shocked.

"You what?" He asked cupping my face.

"I love you" I pecked his lips but he was still not convinced.

I decided to let him adjust with the new information.

After 15 minutes he finally smiled.

"You love me?" He questioned like I was inaudible a few minutes before.

"Yes baby, I love you" I muttered and suddenly he hugged me which led me to hiss as he touched my arm a little aggressively.

"Shit! Shit! Sorry, I forgot" He touched my arm and looked if the bandage was ok or not.

"It's ok" I tried to control my tears, it's very painful.

His eyes met mine and we both started chuckling.

"You love me" His tone was a little unsure.

"I love you" I said and wrapped my other arm around his neck.
