The glaring rays of the afternoon sun finally interrupted Adhiraj's peaceful sleep. He stirred and blinked his eyes open, taking a moment to realize where he was. As his vision cleared, he found himself wrapped in a tight embrace with Annahita. Her soft, wavy hair was sprawled messily across the bed, something he knew she would hate when she woke up. She always tied her hair in a braid before sleeping.
His head rested on the curve of her neck, her scent still lingering from the night before. His arms were securely wrapped around her waist, holding her close. Annahita, in turn, had thrown one leg over his torso, her hand gripping him tightly as if even in sleep, she didn't want to let go.
Adhiraj couldn't help but smile at the sight-this was the first time they had slept so closely, and it felt natural, comforting even. He gently brushed a few strands of her hair away from her face, marveling at how peaceful she looked in her sleep. Even though he knew she'd wake up and probably grumble about her tangled hair, at that moment, he cherished their quiet togetherness.
