Author's PoV:
Ekaansh and Aadhya came back to their room after a while, and they got freshen up as ekaansh has work so he left to his study room and after 2 hours he came into the room and saw Aadhya slept, He stared at her his lips curved into smile seeing her sleeping like a baby.He walked towards her, and caressed her head softly, then covered her properly with the duvet, he removed his shirt and slept on his side as he don't want to disturb her sleep as she is feeling low today and turned off the lamp.
Ekaansh opened his eyes in the middle of the night, because Aadhya was shifting a lot, he turned to look at her, found the frown on her face, and she moved her leg. He realised she must be feeling cramps in her feet as pregnancy is kicking in as she is carrying twins. He checked her foot removing the duvet just from her legs, and got worried seeing her feet swollen, he looked at time it was 4 in the morning he got up from his bed.As soon as he walked inside the kitchen, he got confused seeing Varun there, he cleared his throat varun turned to look at him and got surprised and asked.
"What are you doing here bhai?" "what are you doing varun?"Both spoke at the same time, varun chuckled and moved near to him with the water bottle in his hand.
"I was thirsty so came here to get some water, you bhai?" he answered and then asked him, sipping the water
"I just came here to get some oil, Aadhya is not feeling good, Even her swelling didn't reduced" He replied with concern all written on his face, Even varun got worried for his bhabhi, and followed him to their room "I will call doctor bhai " to which he nodded in no and said
"I'll do it, you just go and sleep. i am her husband so I will do it" " uh have changed bhai "with smile "ur bhabhi changed me and I am happy for it" with that he started massaging her feet to which she moaned and slept peacefully to which ekaansh smiled seeing her.
Aadhya opened her eyes slowly, feeling right ,and proceeded to get up, but felt restricted, she looked down to get surprised.
Ekaansh was sleeping on his stomach, his head was on her right side near her abdomen, his arm encircled around her waist securely. She got bewilder first at his position then she glance at her feet, She smiled as her feet are less swollen than compared to yesterday.
"Why are you so good aansh jii, Sometimes I feel I'm in a dream like at some point uh will break it again but okk for now i will trust uh because i love you" She whispered placing her hand on his brown hair and ruffled them, kissed his forehead slowly with a smile.
Then she slowly removed his head slowly placing it on the pillow beside, and removed his hand carefully too, Se got up and stretched her arms, she didn't felt any pain in her feet.
She covered him with a duvet properly before going inside the washroom, She came out after 20 minutes freshly bathed and dressed light weight white saree and applied her sindoor before going downstairs, with her hair open as she is feeling good.As she went down varun asked concernly "kaise ho bhabhi all ok right" to which she gave a smile and nodded her head. she served them breakfast also sat with them to eat to which dadu said "why ekaansh is not present, he never be this late is he okk?" to which she said "no dadu he is fine just slept so I didn't disturb him " to which he nodded. He felt happy for them finally as his fav grandson is about to start his own family and finally is happy.
After sometime ekaansh came down freshly dressed up, she put breakfast for him and sat beside him. He asked "legs Mai pain he kyaa?? Hote tho hum doctor ko bhulaunga??"
"No ekaansh jii my legs are fine after uh did the maalish and I feel good" she smiled but he did listen, he forwarded his hand to her to take a bite but she bite her lips blushing and showing him dadu Varun.
"Sab hai ansh jii" slowly
"Sooo.. what you r my wife, kisi aur ladki ko khila tho nahi rahe hum" to which she blushed "stop it Ansh jii". He laughed at her antics but at last ate by his hand only, he felt peace by seeing smile on her face.
Like that 15 days went by and that had become the routine for them, They became close again.
