THANK YOU FOR MOTIVATING ME TO UPDATE

_________________________________________

Ekansh pov:

I walk into the hall, exhausted from a long day of attending to patients. I'm greeted by the sight of Mishti waiting for me, her body slumped in an uncomfortable position on the couch. I gently shake her awake.

"Mishti, get up. Let's sleep in the room."

Her eyes flutter open, and she jerks upright, rubbing her eyes.

"Ansh you are back, let me heat up dinner for you."

"Don't, i am tried. I just want to sleep."

"First eat something. Its not good to sleep without dinner. Docman"

Docman? Crazy girl.

But you like that crazy girl said by sub.

I follow her to the kitchen washing my hands, my eyes fixed on her cute printed night suit and her baby hairs framing her delicate face.

"What did you make?"

"Vegetable khichdi and curry", she said.

"Did maa had her dinner?"

"Yes, she was asking about you."

"Hmm, good that she didn't waited. I was stucked in an emergency case."

"Did it go well?"

"Yes. How was everything at home?"
I know nothing major happened but still this is the first time that mishti is alone with maa.

"Everything was usual. Why?"

"Nothing. Just casually asking"

**********

Mishti reheats kichdi and curry, the aroma filling the air and making my stomach growl with hunger. I sit on the platform, observing my wife as she works. She hands me a plate, and I take a bite, savoring the flavors.

"Kichdi achi hai," I say, I never eat such simple dish with this level of taste.

The tanginess of tomatoes, potatoes and green peas with spices and that too with curry. Mishti smiles while her hands busy working.

After eating, we headed towards our bedroom, and I realize I need to tell her something. I come close to her, adjusting her hair behind her ears. She looks up at me, with confusion in her eyes.

"Do you remember? You wanted something?" I ask, my voice low.

"Chocolates?" she replies after thinking, her voice laced with humor.

This girl only thinks about chocolate.

I chuckle with mischevious spark in my eyes.

"No. Something else. Wait let me tell you. I think you hit your head somewhere. No correction, let me just show you. That will be more fun."

Before she can understand, i placed my lips on hers.

After a minute, i realized she is struggling to breath. So i left her and
I embrace her in my arms. While i was playing with her fingers,Mishti winces in pain.

"What happened?"

"Nothing"

" Mishti??? ". Why can't this girl answer in one go?.

"Its just a small rash.", her eyes are not matching her words.

"Show me"

Turning on lights. I saw a burn on her hands. I looked at her face for explaination.

"This is burn NOT rash", she lied clearly.

"When i was cooking. I accidentelly touched hot utensil.",she said making a puppy face.

This won't work darling.

"What are you?? Can't you be careful"

"Aree . It happens. Aesi choti choti choti lagti rehti hai"

"Nahi lagni chahiye. One should do things carefully in kitchen."

After scolding her, i applied ointment.
Her skin was red.

"Now sleep", i ordered her and turn off the lights.

****************

When the lights turn off, I feel her movement beside me. Her hands trace my face, and I know she's checking if I'm asleep. I pretend to be, my heart racing with anticipation.

C'mon ekansh you are a great actor.

Her lips brush against my cheeks, then my forehead, offcourse i know, she do this more often as her usual goodnight gesture. But tonight, I want more. I catch her hand, my fingers intertwining with hers, and pull her close.

"Just kiss, Mishti?" I whisper, my voice husky.

"What do you want?" she asks, her voice barely audible.

"You know what I want. Do you want the same?" I ask, my eyes locked on hers. She doesn't answer, but her body language says it all.

The statement, action speaks louder than words was perfect for her.

I cuddle her more cupping her cheeks. And kissing her forehead and then her cheeks. Sometimes all i want to do is pinch her cheeks. But that may hurt her.

Night is young and so is their love.

   The lovers indulged in each other, exploring the depths of their souls. Far outside, stars tried to peek at the love birds, but the moon, a gentle guardian, shushed them, shielding their love from the world.
