Meera

"Bus Maa Sa, not anymore. I can't eat anymore fruits. I'm full and done for now." I implored for the nth time.

"Absolutely not, khilaiye inhein Maa Sa, aur kisi ki kahaan sunti hain yeh." Yash complained making me narrow my eyes at him.

This has been the constant environment at home since the past two weeks. Yes, it has been two weeks that I got discharged after a brief stay at the hospital. I stayed in Ahmedabad for a week, at my parents' house and earlier this week, we got back to Jaipur.

I've been doing good except for the weakness that my body feels. The love and care that I have witnessed in these past few weeks has overwhelmed me to the moon and back.

Yash has not left my side these past days. Juggling between working from home and taking care of me, he's been doing it like it's cakewalk.

With everything that has taken place in these past few months, our mental health has suffered the most. Yash had probed the idea of us taking a vacation after I recover when we were having dinner last week.

We'd landed upon the decision to visit Italy and France mext month since Christmas is a huge deal, there. I'm excited about it, both of us are in desperate need of a break from the hustle of daily life considering the upheaval that our lives have just faced.

Today, we're visiting the doctor for my last scheduled check-up. My ribs had to be operated so, I still can't putuch pressire on my abdomen and for the rest, I 'm doing good.

"Let's go, and Maa Sa, we'll be an hour late." Yash informed her. I frowned upon the newfound information, I wasn't aware of us going anywhere except for the hospital.

"Thank You." I placed a quick peck on his cheek as he helped me get in the car and locked the door for me.

"What's with the sudden change in plans, Rana Sa?" I questioned once he got in the car and pulled out of the driveway.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out, Rani Sa." He retorded smiling softly. Ah, the warmest smile in the entire universe. His smile never fails to make butterflies swarm in my belly.

After a brief drive of thirty minutes, we reached the hospital. The doctor took a good look at my reports and after a quick questionaire, we were free to leave. We were given a green signal for travel, much to my relief.

As he began driving, never giving me a hint of the place we're going to, I rested my head on the backrest and closed my eyes. A soft sigh escaped past my lips as a comfortable silence encapsulated the environment. That's the thing I love about both of us, we're together in both, the calm and the chaos.

Never once has he made me feel not good during our stay in Mumbai when all that surrounded us was nothing but chaos. Even now or ever in these one and half years of our marriage have I felt uncomfortable in silence with him.

A soft nudge broke my sleep which I didn't realise engulfed me while I was deep in thoughts. I ran my gaze around the place, only to now realise that we were at the Shiv Mandir we came to when I visited the palace for the first time.

After helping me get out of the car, he held me by the small of my waist guiding me into the temple.

"Khamma Ghani Rani Sa, Rana Sa." Guruma greeted with a soft smile placing small tika on both our foreheads.
