I walk out of the washroom -deep in my thoughts- and straight towards my husband who had his legs stretched on the bed with a laptop over him.

His eyebrows frowned and concentrated on what was being represented.

His eyes lift up as they connect with mine and the next second, he was shifting his laptop by the side table to make space for me.

"Hey!"

"Hey," I said back, as I crawl up the side of the bed and hug him.

His palm automatically connect to mine head as the other round over me. Holding me closer.

"So, what is it?" My husband asked, soothing my hair.

My husband somehow always knows what I need the most in the moment...

While our night talks are the most usual. Me talking about my whole day as he listens me. Like, really listens.

But today, I was different and he knows.

"Reyansh, Hridey. I had a talk with him, today and he seemed more detached than the last time."

"He might be stressed from all the work, Jaan. Give him time and he will come around sooner, even before you know."

I sigh,

"Asa kya kaam hai jo woh aapni badi bhen se do min baat nhi kar sakta." I murmured as I lean my head on my husband's chest.

(What's the rush? Can't he even talk to his elder sister for 3 whole minutes.)

"I am scared, Hridey. Kahi woh bhi Abhiveer Bhai jaisa na ho gye." As i complete the words my eyes water.

"Don't take stress. Aaj zyada soch rhi hai. Asa wasa kuch nhi hoga."

How? I saw Abhi Bhai retreating from the family after his accident. And it still brings goosebumps to even think of the day he came back, after the incident.

And I won't even want that fate for my little brother too.

Hridey released a sigh, "Agar aapko zyada chinta hai toh mein use baat kar lunga, ek baar, apki Shanti ke liye."

(If you want, I can talk to him.)

"Sachi?" My head shoot up with a bright excited smile.

"Muchi." He said, pressing a soft kiss to my lips.

I giggle as my cheeks deepen with a bright red glow.

He laughed, shaking his head.

"You are too innocent for me."

I slap his chest, "I know, I am enough for you."

"You are all for me." He said softly, as he swiftly slide me over him and on my back.

As he lean over me, feelings erupt in my lower belly. Making me nervous.

He pressing a kiss to the corner of my right eye before pressing on my left one.

"Sleep well, wifey. I got a bit of work and the, I will join you." He said with a wink, I know all well about.

I try to hide my blush, burying my face in his biceps.

"As I said, too damn innocent for me." He softened, and adjusted me half on him.

I lean my head on his side. Listening to his heartbeat provides ne instant relieve.

Him being near, enough for me as I fall into safety. And the heaviness of the day wearing off me as I try to keep my eyes open until I couldn't.

The next morning~
