The morning slipped into afternoon, and Krishna decided to put all his work aside, fully committing himself to taking care of Vrindha. He made her a light breakfast, filled with the nutrients she needed to regain her strength, and stayed by her side as she ate, making sure she was comfortable and cared for.

After breakfast, they settled onto the couch, where he held her close, watching her gradually regain her energy. They talked about everything and nothing, sharing laughter and light moments that made Vrindha to feel better. 

Eventually, they migrated to the bedroom, where Vrindha curled up on the bed by resting her head on Krishna's chest. He laid back, feeling the soothing rhythm of her breath against him. As she drifted off to sleep, he absentmindedly brushed her hair away from her face, savoring the peacefulness of the moment.

Though he felt drowsy, Krishna was captivated by the softness of her features and the way her lips curled into a small smile even in sleep. She stirred and her voice is soft and dreamlike as she began speaking about random things like plans for the upcoming weeks, ideas for work, and even small anecdotes from her day.

Krishna was utterly engrossed, admiring the way her brow furrowed slightly when she concentrated and the light that danced in her eyes when she spoke passionately. But suddenly, she pinched him playfully by breaking him out of his reverie.

Vrindha : Hey ! Are you even listening ?

She teased and  her eyes are sparkling mischievously.

He feigned shock, raising an eyebrow. 

Krishna : Of course I am ! You were just saying how the traffic was unbearable yesterday, and you had to take a different route to work because of the construction on that new flyover.

She blinked, surprised. 

Vrindha : Wow, you were listening ! I thought you were off in your own world.

He chuckled and the sound is rich and warm. 

Krishna : Well, I might have been multitasking , admiring my amazing wife while trying to keep track of your endless stories.

He leaned down and pecked her nose gently, making her giggle.

 Vrindha : Multitasking, huh ?

she replied and  her tone is playful. 

Vrindha : Just don't let it become a habit of tuning me out. I have important things to say ! 

Krishna : Trust me.

He said by brushing a lock of hair behind her ear, 

Krishna : I could never tune you out. You're too interesting for that.

Vrindha smiled and  her heart is swelling with affection. She snuggled closer, feeling secure and cherished in his embrace. 

Vrindha : Okay, then I'll keep talking.

She declared with mock seriousness. 

Vrindha : Just promise not to fall asleep on me. I have some calls to make. 

Krishna : Ok darling ! 

He replied , though the warmth and comfort of the moment made it tempting. They continued to chat, and as she spoke about everything from her work ambitions to her thoughts on their future, Krishna couldn't help but admire the woman in his arms.

He felt grateful for her, not just as his wife, but as his partner in life, the one who brought joy and laughter to his days. The afternoon sun filtered through the window by casting a golden glow around them, and in that moment, everything felt perfect.

As they enjoyed this simple yet profound connection, Krishna realised that this was what mattered most like being together, caring for each other, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As Vrindha nestled comfortably against Krishna, she felt a wave of contentment wash over her. However, she couldn't shake the concern that crept into her mind as she watched him. 

Vrindha : You know, I'm feeling much better.

She  said gently. 

Vrindha : But you need to get some sleep. Otherwise, you'll end up sick too.

Krishna : I'm alright.

Krishna insisted and his voice is slightly muffled as he rested his chin on her head.

Before he could say more, Vrindha playfully closed his mouth with her hand. 

Vrindha : Nope ! No arguing. You need rest.

She said and  her tone is firm yet affectionate. She patted his shoulder encouragingly, coaxing him to relax.

With a sigh, he finally relented as his eyelids are growing heavy. 

Krishna : Okay, okay. Just for a little while.

He murmured and soon enough, he succumbed to the pull of sleep, settling deeply into her embrace.

As he drifted off, Vrindha ruffled his hair fondly with a smile breaking across her face. She leaned down and kissed his forehead, her heart is swelling with love. In that quiet moment, she admired her husband silently, cherishing the bond they shared.

But as she lay there, her mind began to wander. She thought about their future together, and an unexpected vision flickered in her mind. A child. The image of tiny hands grasping at them, laughter filling their home, it was beautiful. A warmth spread through her, but then the weight of reality pulled her back.

" We have so much more to achieve first. " she whispered softly to herself and  her brow furrowing slightly. They had dreams and ambitions yet to fulfill. The thought lingered, heavy but necessary.

Her brain taunted her gently, recalling how often people remarked that they could be childish with their playful banter and constant teasing. " How could we be parents when we can't even keep a straight face during a serious discussion ? " she thought by chuckling softly at the irony.

Yet, amidst those concerns, a flicker of excitement ignited within her. The prospect of building a family with Krishna felt like a thrilling adventure waiting to unfold, but they had to navigate their current paths first.

She brushed her fingers through his hair, watching the rise and fall of his chest as he slept, peaceful and unaware of her thoughts. " We'll get there" she murmured with a quiet determination setting in. "But first, we'll continue to grow together."

With that thought, she settled back against him, feeling the warmth of his body envelop her like a cozy blanket. For now, they would savor this moment, resting in the comfort of each other's presence, knowing that whatever the future held, they would face it together, one day at a time.
