"Unraveled Destinies"

Chapter 49

By the moment he finished, her hands were trembling as she imagined the pain that he has gone through. Being a daughter who is so close to her mother and always shared such a strong bond , she can't even imagine that how could a mother behave like that.

It was obvious that the things aren't that very good because of the way he used to distant from her mother but what he told her , was something she had no idea. An age where a child craves most for his mother , his mother wasn't there for him.

And what got her attention is why is she like this to him because she has seen the way his mother boost about the success of her son to everyone else when in real she doesn't even cares. But she couldn't ask him this now when he is already looking so vulnerable .

Putting aside her thoughts for the moment, she met his tearful gaze with her own eyes brimming with moisture. His face was streaked with tears as she gently released her hands from his grasp, cupping his face to wipe away his tears. She cleaned his face before kneeling down and embracing him tightly, rubbing his back to soothe him.

After a few minutes in that comforting embrace, sensing him relax in her arms, she pulled back slightly and locked eyes with him, seeing the multitude of emotions and pain hidden within them. A sudden surge of protectiveness washed over her, and she softly kissed his forehead, then each eye, and finally his cheeks, offering comfort and solace in her actions.

Taking a look into his eyes before proceeding , she kept her lips on his , and stayed like that for a moment without moving , giving him time to get back to his senses and the next moment she felt him moving as the kiss that started slow and soft earlier turned into hungry and passionate letting him pour all his vulnerability into it .

After a while, they parted, both catching their breath. Her chest heaving up and down as she took the needy breaths when he rested his forehead against hers, sharing a smile as their eyes met, a moment of unspoken connection.

"You are handsome," she breathed over his lips panting heavily with a soft smile causing him to blush as the compliment brought a wide smile to his face, their closeness heightening the moment.

He cupped her face while looking at her with so many emotions in his eyes that made her gulp as he whispered, his voice dark and husky like his emotions for the moment,"You are magic, my magic , my wife".

He planted a gentle kiss on her forehead before hiding her in his embrace as if wanting her to cage her between his arms and not letting her go anywhere.

"So jao (sleep) and let all these moments seep into my soul" he murmured as he held her close .

"Choroge tbhi to soungi na" (I will only be able to sleep when you will leave me) she replied between the hug making him chuckle as he shook his head at her antics before letting her go from his embrace only to end up laying beside her cuddling her in his arms again.

"Goodnight," he murmured blissfully, his hand resting on her waist, drawing her closer after many days of separation.

"Not yet, goodnight, just a sec," she interjected, prompting him to open his eyes in confusion as she placed her leg over his before replying with a wide grin on her face, "Now, goodnight, finally," which earned a chuckle from him.

"You know, today I'll finally sleep peacefully after you arrived and took my sleep with you," he accused, blaming her while she looked at him open mouthed hitting his chest.
