...

This is unnecessary, he knows. He is being overly stressed out and scaring the hell out of his wife. Raman sighed tightening his arms around her waist as he tried calming his nerves in her warmth. This news would not change anything; apparently, she would not care or else, she would freak out. He would not wish to experiment when her hormones are deceiving her actual behavior, lately. "I'm alright..." That assurance could not calm her down as her arms went firmer. "You're squeezing me!" He faked a chuckle, freeing himself. The look on her face wrenched his heart, he did not mean to worry her; not like this. He should really take care of his heart, which goes out of command either in pleasure or in pain, having two extremely different effect on him.

"You're okay?" Her fingers smoothened his hair, pressing quick pecks along the frown of his forehead. Heaving a loud sigh, he nodded unconvincingly. She did not want to probe on the matter. She would apparently know it, but for the time being, she decided to make him feel trusted. The first ever trust issue he had felt was about her having feelings for Subbu, then on her love for him itself but he was clear about his stand every time. The first time he had made her guilty and the next was anger. If she would interpolate, he would go defensive, or maybe fanatic.

They were never the perfect couple, after all. There was always one thing or the other that hitched the pace or undone, not completely though. It was their love for each other, helped them make it through. Love that was there, which was no less than a miracle! While her fingers soothed his back, her eyes set on nothing but blank as she brooded, he seemed to have come back. She could not even think about losing him. It has been a long time he has not shown any sign of such frantic heartbeats; she could not take it easy. "It wasn't like what you think. I was just, panicked. It wasn't serious." He explained as if he could hear what her mind was screaming at that moment. "...you know I take medicines and I'm...fine!" He added stretching his arms.

"Um..." She hummed looking away.

"Don't sulk, jaan... I'm fine!" He grumbled dragging her closer.

"Are you sure, Raman?" The same question that she has muttered a thousand times before came again. He did not know how to handle her; it was not good. It was never in his control when it comes to those overwhelming emotions that he has grown along with his unrequited love for her. "You looked off-color!"

"You want to checkup?" She nodded cautiously at his knitted eyebrows. Maybe they should go to the doctor and have a checkup done!

"Come here..." He pulled her, leaning back as she fell on him. Her eyes a thin a line, she could hardly understand what the checkup he has meant until he placed her head on his heart. It was beating erratically that it scared her. It was not normal! "It happens..." He chuckled as if it is amusing. "It's tuneful, when you're around!" His voice instantly turned crispy, his brows rose as his eyes emitted passion, which seemed untimely for her worried system. "It makes itself feel when you're with me. So, stop worrying, Ishita." A soft peck sprayed on her eye, leaving it half-lidded. "Stay with me." His whisper did not have a waft of plead in it, but demand that she cherished.

"So, how's your stay there, huh Ishu?!" Vandu grinned impishly, flicking her left brow at Ishita who was busy eating snacks. She did not wish to involve in a teasing session right now, which Vandu the big sister could smell. That does not mean that her team is going to leave her relish the food and leave them bored in discussing their own entertaining issues. "Well-well-well Simmi..., you know there's a colleague of mine, who has a big baby bump, even though she's just three month! Can you believe! I just hope even Ishu gets such huge baby bump, earlier than usual!" Her voice held genuinely fake expectation to rile up the woman cutely ignoring them.
