Adira woke up in an unfamiliar yet peaceful surrounding. The place was unknown, but it gave her a warmth she had never felt in her room.
"Wait, is this a dream?" she wondered, pinching her hand. "Did I get unconscious on my way home, and some handsome CEO saw me and fell for me, carrying me to his home in bridal style?"
Adira was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't feel angry when she pinched herself. She was being delusional.
Just then, Bhaskar entered the room. "Good morning, baccha. Had a good sleep?" he asked, kissing Adira's forehead.
Adira should have stopped him, but she couldn't. The warmth she felt when he kissed her forehead was overwhelming. She felt safe and comfortable.
"I should have stopped him, but I couldn't. The warmth I felt when he kissed my forehead was overwhelming. I felt safe and so comfortable. I won't lie; I actually needed someone to show me gestures of love. I have always seen parents kissing their child's forehead to wake them up or brothers doing it for their sisters."
Bhaskar, Ishaan, and Ravi entered the room, and Adira was surprised to see them.
"Princess, you know what? I know it's not easy to trust people after so many heartbreaks, but still, believe me, I won't let any more hurt come to you," Bhaskar said in a soft tone, cupping Adira's cheeks.
Adira remained quiet, unsure of how to respond. She didn't want to upset Bhaskar.
That night, Bhaskar decided to check on Adira. Ishaan and Ravi did the same and saw Adira sleeping, but Bhaskar was surprised to find her on the floor, crying while hugging her knees.
Bhaskar took her into his embrace and started whispering sweet things in her ears. "Ssh, baccha, kya hua? Bol, nightmare tha?"
Ishaan said while rubbing her back, "Have some water, baby."
Adira started drinking water from Ravi's hand.
"Dheere, princess, kuch nahi hoga. We are here, baby," Ishaan said, hugging her from behind.
Adira calmed herself and regained her senses, realizing what she was doing. She jumped from Bhaskar's lap and said, "Sorry to disturb you guys; it was just a dream. I don't know why I trouble others. I am actually a burden."
Bhaskar wiped her tears and held her in his embrace. "Why do you say that, baby? We won't leave you alone. We would never grow tired of you."
Ravi added, "You mean the world to us, baby. You deserve to be loved. We will always love you, no matter what."
Ishaan said, "You're not hard to love; you just never got loved. Just give us a chance to tell you what love looks like. It doesn't leave you in bad times but supports you."
The four of them formed a group hug.
"Let's sleep, guys. Take off today, Ishaan, me, and Ravi are already taking it. Princess, you should also sleep; it's 3 am. You need rest. Come, I'll carry you to my room," Bhaskar said.
"But why should she sleep with you, not us?" Ravi and Ishaan yelled.
"Because I know how to handle and make babies sleep," Bhaskar said proudly.
Ravi and Ishaan mocked him, saying he worked in a daycare center and that Adira was not a newborn baby.
Bhaskar said, "Fine, you jealous pigs. We can use the conjoined bedroom."
Ravi and Ishaan excitedly said, "Yay!"
Adira asked, "Conjoined bedroom?"
Ishaan explained, "Yup, we have a room where we all sleep together. It has three beds, and we all sleep together with you, bunny."
Ravi lifted Adira in his arms and said, "Let's go, guys. I want to cuddle with my koala so bad. I have your permission, right, koala?"
Bhaskar said, "Adira, you don't need to do this. This cuddle bear likes to cuddle a lot."
Adira smiled brightly and said, "I would love to cuddle with you, Bhaiya. I always wanted to do cuddles, but I had no one. Now I have you."
Ravi snatched Adira from Ishaan and ran to the conjoined bedroom, followed by Ishaan. Bhaskar trailed behind, saying, "Wait, I love cuddles too."
