DEVOTED TO HER

20.

MIHIKA

I couldn't get over today's events they were playing in my head continuously and a content smile on my face life's been hard lately but when i think about it i know he is the only one i need right now

He is healing me without knowing it i wish things turned out differently at that time and he didn't have to leave but it was for his future and when i look at him now a sense of pride fills me every time

I haven't even imagined in my wildest dream that i would marry him the way we were before i never thought he had this side of his hidden inside him

i looked at him he was sleeping soundlessly a calm look over his face this man beside me he deserves the world and i am afraid I can't give him that i am trying my best though i am not good with words but i always try to show it in my actions and he makes me want to try again and again

"sleep biwi staring at me wouldn't keep you energised for the day will it?" he said in a teasing tone while his eyes were still closed as he smirked and my eyes widened and I covered my face with the quilt

aankhein band karke bhi dekh skte kya?

"i am not" i said trying to make him believe and who i was fooling though

"yeah i believe you" he said in his sleepy voice in a sarcastic tone teasing me

"Good night" i muttered not wanting to get caught again while staring at him well i can no? pati hain mere

shutting of my brain i fell into a deep slumber as i was extremely tired from today's event

***

" I haven't kept you too enjoy your time do your damn job i need the details by tomorrow" i heard his harsh distant voice he was probably talking with someone over the phone while coming inside the room

"What happened?" i asked while fixing my saree

"Nothing biwi, are you ready?" he asked softly yet he sounded dejected

He's acting like this since i got a call from my mom to come over for the 'pagphera' rasam which was on hold because he went on his business trip

a smile crept up on my face i wanted to be at my home i needed that,i am staying over there for a few days and he's upset with something

"is something wrong?" i asked coming over in front of him

he muttered something under his breath before shaking his head in a no
he came closer and wrapped his hand around my back hiding his face in the crook of my neck

my breath hitched for a moment before i realised what he has done i caressed his back something's definitely off

"when will you come back?" he asked his hot breath fanning over my shoulder

"I will come soon" i said getting out of his embrace he was holding my hand firmly in his

"Mihi prisha is here come down fast" i heard maa's voice from downstairs

he nodded and muttered 'let's go'
we descended the stairs and i saw prisha she rushed towards me engulfing me in a bone crushing hug
