VIHAAN'S POV:-

I don't remember clearly when was last time I yearned to return home. After papa's death, ma became silent. She stopped showing me her love and affection, as all her love was busy healing herself. It's been a decade since she called me to ask about my whereabouts, but her love never diminished. After all these years, I am finally getting everything I missed out on.

It's been 2 months since I'm on this trip. Ma returned home only to take her belongings as she planned to go on a religious pilgrimage along with Masi ma. Undoubtedly she's being accompanied by over a dozen bodyguards and they're travelling in their private cars as she clearly refused to take a flight. She wishes to travel the whole of India by roads. Strange enough, she never does that, but after all these years, this is the first thing she herself wished for and there is no way I can either question or deny her.

On the other hand, I am unable to talk to my precious on a daily basis. Due to the time gap and my late working hours as well as her hectic days, we're unable to talk every day. But every morning she sends me a beautiful good night voice note narrating me everything that happened in the day and at night when I'm in my office preparing for the next day she texts me good morning while everyday rushing to the gym. [Time zone difference everyone]

We only had video calls when she can't sleep while missing me while I just finished a meeting and rushing towards the other one. Even I'm sleeping here only for 2-3 hours a day because there is no way I can let my wife wait a month longer just to sleep peacefully. She sends cute missing you notes with adorable selfie and voice notes ranting about Akhil being a strict trainer with her.

Akhil is training her really hard as I ordered and also looking after her safety. I gave him Shri's mother's letter along with the blank one to be tested and he insisted on talking about it when I return. Fair enough.

I was in my thoughts when I got a call from my precious. I instantly picked it up and there she was, whining like a child with sleepy eyes.

"Happy Birthday Husband," she wished with all her strength. "I miss you and I can't sleep without you, so if you want your gift, then come back to me fast." She exclaimed in one go, and I can't help but chuckle.

"Thank you, precious. I wish I could be with you right now, but there is still a ton of work remaining." I answered truthfully. Her lips curved downward instantly and then turned into a sad pout. Adorable.

"But I wanted to celebrate your birthday with you." She exclaimed in a sad tone. To be honest, if it wasn't for work, I wouldn't even have come here in the first place. But this company is not merely mine, it belongs to those thousands of employees working here. A malfunctioning should not cost them their job. My company indeed suffered a huge loss but is recoverable, but still the culprit is needed to be found and punished.

"Someone backstabed us and sold some important details of the upcoming projects to the rivals. That is why everything here is complicated to this extent." I informed her, and she nodded in understanding.

"Isn't this video chat feature great precious? We can celebrate it like this only." I insisted. She thought for a while and then nodded. "Won't you sleep now, baby?" I asked, and she sighed in annoyance.

"I can't sleep without you." She whined like a child. "These plushes are great, but sleeping in your arms is what I need the most. Can't you see my dark circles? Come back soon, Vihaan. I'm so sleep deprived and so are you." She complained. And every word she said was true. Her eyes were drowsy yet unable to sleep. She got dark circles and even her health is getting affected by this. And about me baby, I'm not just sleep deprived, I'm majorly 'you' deprived.
