Its 12.05 am .
I am busy working on my laptop.
After every 20 minutes I turn back to check whether you are having a sound sleep.
Its too cold this winter.
I try shrug myself to create some warmth.
Suddenly ,i feel a piece of cloth being placed on my shoulders.
I turn around to see what is happening. Ah ! Its you.
You place the shawl around my shoulders to protect me from this cold.
I smile back. You kiss me on my forehead and leave.
Smiling ,i continue my work.
After sometime i hear some noise from the kitchen.
I rush to the kitchen to check what has happened.
As soon i reach there , i see you holding two cups. The cups of coffee. I am speechless. This small gesture makes me feel special. We don't talk , just stare each other while having every sip.
I move back to my laptop to complete my work. I place the shawl on my shoulders and continue my work.
Suddenly ,i feel your strong hands around me.
" Its really cold here " you whisper in my ear.
I smile looking at the laptop screen.
Slowly ,your grip gets stronger and my patience gets weaker.
I try to focus on my work but your touch distracts me.
I could sense your warm breath on my neck .
My brain is in a huge dilemma .
To continue the work or hug you back stronger.
Suddenly, i feel the grip getting loose . I am shocked by this sudden change. Immediately ,i remove my hand from the keypad and hold you arms .
I wrap them tightly around me.
Frowning , i look back towards you.
You respond with a slight smile.
" Feeling cold ? " you ask me.
Getting that grip much tighter i respond " much better now ".
