Banaras never sleeps.
The streets are full of noise, fear, and shadows.
He had a past full of blood and secrets.
She had a heart full of life.
Jeevika-
"Pehli nazar mein... itna kareeb aata hua mehsoos hua. Dusri nazar mein... kahin yeh Yuvan S...

"Please, Jhalli, at least listen to me."
Yuvan stated, pulled a blanket from Jeevika's body when she moved her finger to shoo him from her view as she cuddled up on the pillow, not wanting to jeopardize her sleep. However, Jeevika also claimed that her husband had become insane in the middle of the night after returning from his routine check-up at the hospital. His head is still bandaged, but he can now move his hands with ease.
"I'm telling you to get up now!"
Yuvan chidded, disturbing Jeevika's peaceful sleep by making a loud noise in the middle of the night, prompting her to cover her ears with a pillow to block out the sound.
"Get up now!"
Yuvan firmly spanked Jeevika's hips, despite her attempts to shoo him away while laying on her stomach. The impact was hard, landing directly on her hips. Not receiving a response, he then laid straight on her back, pressing his weight on her and causing her to groan in annoyance at being disturbed from her sleep.
"Ughh, agar hamari kamar tuti toh dekh lena kya karenge hum apke sath!"
(Ugh, if my back somehow got broken, then watch what I will do with you!)
Yuvan slyly slides his cold palm against Jeevika's warm waist as she wriggles on the bed in her plain saree, while he himself is shirtless in just trousers. After moving her hair to one side, he kisses her back, prompting Jeevika to tense her shoulders and push him away in response to her lingering anger towards him, despite her drowsy state.
"I already told you not to get mad at me."
Yuvan husked in a pleading way sliding down her strap from the shoulder kissing her lovingly but right now it didn't settle with her since she was angry at him for hiding such things from her. She knew he didn't confess to her but all he can do is share with her whatever is happening in his life. As his wife she has the right to know whatever is happening in his life.
"Leave me now, or I will go to another room!"
Jeeviks spoke seriously, compelling Yuvan to stop abruptly even though her words truly hurt him. He simply moved beside her with a stoic expression, while Jeevika turned away from him. She was aware that her words had caused pain, but this time she anticipated him opening up to her about the incident which took place between him and Sahil at the hospital.
Despite feeling him sitting on the bed, she chose not to move from her place and maintained her position with her back to him. However, her eyes softened involuntarily as Yuvan began speaking, indicating her growing acceptance of his mistakes.
"I'm sorry, Jeevika. I know I should have told you earlier, but I didn't have solid proof at the time. It was important to keep my sudden meeting with Sahil a secret because I didn't want to see you getting more stressed, especially since you were already dealing with so much.
