The Unfinished Tales of Love ( Part 2 )

Haldi

After hearing Swati, both Shivaay and Shwet felt happy. Shivaay then slowly fed her soup, while Shwet sat beside Swati, talking to her, and Swati, smiling, listened to him. Out of habit, she also responded.

Meanwhile, Shivaay, while feeding soup to Swati, was watching both of them. He couldn't express in words how he felt at that moment. It seemed like this moment was just his, and time had stopped still. He wished he could always stay like this, with both of them.

After feeding the soup, Shivaay went back to the kitchen to place the bowl. Then he checked Swati's temperature, and the fever had reduced considerably. He sat beside Swati and said, "Let me massage your head."

"No need, I’m fine," Swati glared at him and said.

Shivaay took a deep breath and whispered in Swati's ear, "Just agree quietly, or if I do something inappropriate in front of Shwet, then don’t blame me." Saying this, he turned to Shwet and said, "Shwet, tell your Masi Ma that if I massage her head, her pain will reduce."

"Hmm, Shivaay uncle is right. If you agree, your headache will go away. Let Shivaay uncle massage your head," Shwet insisted, agreeing with Shivaay.

Due to both of them insisting, Swati couldn't refuse. Shivaay placed a pillow behind her, and Swati slid closer to him. Shivaay slowly massaged her head, occasionally running his fingers through her hair.

Meanwhile, Shwet placed his head on Swati's lap, as he often did, and Swati, with her eyes closed, gently stroked Shwet's head. Gradually, her pain started to fade, and she didn’t even realize when she fell asleep.

In her sleep, her head rested on Shivaay’s shoulder, which made Shivaay smile. He gently pulled Swati into his arms, kissed her forehead, and, while gazing at her face, said, "Your eyes aren’t red from the pain but from something else. Maybe it’s because you’ve been away from Shwet, and that’s why you’re in this state. But I’ve been saying, accept what I’m saying. Marry me. But this stubborn girl isn’t ready."

Shivaay pouted, bent down, kissed Shwet's forehead, and then kissed Swati’s hair again. He rested his head on hers and closed his eyes with a big smile on his lips.

Seeing both of them sleeping peacefully beside him, especially Swati in his arms, made it the best day for Shivaay. And before he knew it, he fell asleep too.

A little while later, when the function ended, Shweta and Abhinav returned to Swati. When they arrived home, they saw that the door was slightly open, so they entered without locking it.

When they came inside and saw Shivaay, Swati, and Shwet sleeping in each other's arms, they were a bit surprised and exchanged glances.

"What’s going on?" Shweta whispered to Abhinav.

Abhinav replied, "Nothing, it seems like you'll get your brother-in-law soon."

Hearing this, Shweta smiled and looked at Swati, who was peacefully resting in Shivaay's arms. One hand was on Shwet’s head, and the other was holding Shivaay’s hand.

Shivaay was holding Swati’s hand with one hand and her shoulder with the other. Meanwhile, Shwet had wrapped his arms around Swati’s waist.

Seeing the three of them like this, Shweta smiled again and softly said, "Don’t they look like the perfect family?"

"Yes, they look so good that I feel like taking a picture," saying this, Abhinav took out his phone and quietly clicked a picture of the three of them.

"I don’t feel like waking them up," Shweta said.

Abhinav replied, "Alright, let’s leave for now and come back later."

Shweta nodded in agreement, and the two of them left. As they left, Abhinav closed the door.
